Base Race beta 1 - "download me!"

(CptnTriscuit) #1

So heres my odd little map in its first beta. How is the gameplay? Is it even playable? Does it tickle you in any particular way? I dont have a clue, so if you guys could tell me, that would be awsome! Im hunting for feedback! :smiley:

Its a race, to build your base! Steal and secure construction materials from your enemyā€™s base to build up your own; the first team to complete their base wins. There are 13 constructions that must be completed for your team to win.



Steal Construction Materials


Secure them on your Capture Pads to unlock construction crates

Players:
8-16 (?)

Well, the idea to upgade things in a map is new.
Congratulations, your map is the frst with this! :cool:

Really nice idea, couldnā€™t test it yet with several players but I think itā€™ll play niceā€¦ Just some things :
You should really redesign the terrain :slight_smile:
The flat ground and the rocks around the map look uhmā€¦ a tad simple :wink: Make some hills and use alpha mod blending on them to change textures and stuff, pretty easy to do actually. :slight_smile:

(CptnTriscuit) #8

Yeah I know - right now all the brush work is only sloppy temporary stuff. Everything will be replaced at some point. :slight_smile:

I have to admit Iā€™m surprised by that idea. Very original indeed!

Props! :smiley:

Models look great btw! :smiley: Maybe youā€™ll submit those to the contest? :slight_smile:

This is probably the first map that emphasizes creation over destruction.

Im glad everyone seems to like the idea :slight_smile:

@MadJack, Iā€™ll submit emā€™, and some other stuff of too.

@Nutter, if you can get a group together to test (this weekend maybe?) that would be very helpful! Just lemi know what time and what server and if you need anything :smiley:

@FaltyTower, originally some of the constructions were destroyable, but I figured that would make it way to hard for anyone to win.

@ChiemseeMan, thx for the mirrior!

The Spawnpoint is to small, we need a bigger spawn.

I have play it on ā€œGoats Bar & Grillā€ Server

Awsome concept!!, Is it possiable to make a time limit on the map also, we got stuck on sudden death for like an hr and i had to remove it, no one could get the last boxesā€¦but man what great fun!!!

(nUllSkillZ) #16

So thereā€™s no winner when objectives are not fullfilled? And thereā€™s no timelimit?
Hmm, little suggestion:
Just try to count the secured boxes.
And determine the winner from the number of secured boxes after timelimit is hit.
One accum can be used to store the data.
For example initialize an accum with 0.
If axis secure add 1.
If allied secure add -1.
If accum is greater then 0 if timelimit is hit then axis are winner.
Otherwise allied are winner.
You can also look wich team has secured the boxes as first team.

Iā€™ve done a dual objective concept map that is available for download:

This is a good idea but in RL surely you wouldnt just end the map once you got the fortress up you would continue fighting defending your base (If you built it) against the enimys that want to destroy it to get there parts back.

have i missed something? Although the file is listed as base race, it loads as batteryā€¦
(I downloaded it from fileplanet)

(S.S.Heirpie) #19

Is there anyword on B2, with maybe a time limit, sure would like to run this on one of the servers!!

(CptnTriscuit) #20

Im going to put out beta 1-b - with a timelimit and some other fixes - but no major changes to the terrain or brushwork - still workin on the major stuff.
