I demand nicely that somebody makes a 100% indoor map! :)

Hello!

Where have they gone? In the original RTCW were so many good indoor maps -
Rocket (100% indoor)
Sub (everything indoor, except the small area above the sub)
Chateau (most part indoor)

Almost every map had a good part located under some roof, where no Lieutnant aka Fieldops could spam the artillery like crazy.
I’d love to see a pure indoor map in ET too, so my question would be if anyone is currently developing or has plans to make such a map?

My next map is either going to be completely outside or completely inside.

I’d love to see a Quake 2-style warehouse map with lifts, elevators, and conveyer belts.

Actually - i am certain -

My next map will be a 100% indoor one. and will be part of a campaign linked with Sky High

(SCDS_reyalP) #5

rocket isn’t 100% indoors. :banana:

I agree though, some mostly indoor maps would be a nice change.

One problem with indoor maps is that it affects the overall usefullnes of all characters in the game. Fieldops cant throw airstrikes, and Engiees cant place mines on solid ground.

(DeAtHmAsTeR) #7

true - but gives a chance for other classes to shine - ie soldiers in securing areas like forward spawns and rushing into battles

command map could get the problem with elevators and stuff…

my next map soon to come (a few weeks a way) will be 100% indoor.
Imagine a hellish fire fight under ground in old castle halls.

Command map can have different layers,

so you can have different command maps for different heights of the map…

Kein Problem

Field ops agreed , but Mines can be planted everywhere, where the ground is soft enough to dig a hole, not only outdoors :slight_smile:

There shouldn’t be everything solid… an unbuilt floor that is still earthy will serve as a good place to plant mines in an indoor map. As reference look Siwa Oasis, you can plant mines in the gangway between first allied spawn and allied command post. Also below the command post on the lower level is a lot of muddy ground to place mines indoors.

And ok, thanks for correcting - even rocket is not 100% indoors, I believe the room with the rocket has some sky g.

i have been planning and started development on an entirely indoor complex map with just the default textures… :bored:

yeah yeah, i know…i am a noob :blah:

(greekdish) #13

Soldiers rushing into battle and securing spawns?? ROFL…thats a joke, right?? Unless you are in a clan match, most servers that have soldiers are noobs with Panzers, and dont do anything but try to play sniper from the back of the map. :beer: :beer:

(DeAtHmAsTeR) #14

first of all… yes a panzer is a n00b weapon - and is preferred by most n00bz

but a panzer is the best weapon to use to clear out areas of mass enemy infantry. i.e axis hiding behind shooting down from a bridge at you.

The axis have a clear head shot of you, while you are wondering and searching for a target, in this case a panzer is needed to clear out the axis and to get engineers through e.t.c

You can plant landmines indoors as long as you add the surfaceparm to it, right?

(DeAtHmAsTeR) #16

yes

How does the player iterate through the command layers? Or do they automatically switch depending on which layer you are on? I don’t recall seeing this in any of the stock ET maps…

And for a confusing command map, find the slides and ladders map (I forget the full name). Its running on some japanese servers. It is mildly amusing but gets old pretty quick. But it is funny watching people on the command map.

it works on setting different hieght settings for the different layers of command map

there is a post on it on this forum - use search

also, what the hell are you talkin about in the second part of ur post

(Dawg) #19

Thanks. I will poke around and read about it.

What I was refering to is a map that someone has released for ET. I can’t recall the exact name but the compressed file is tawerandslider_ctf_beta_temp.zip It is a tangle of slides, ladders and ramps. As a result, if you watch player movement on the command map, it is amusing. You will see their icons zipping around as they slide. There is also alot of falling and dying. I have seen it running only on some japanese servers. The map gameplay is pretty poor, but maybe I’m just not into it. Its more of a novelty map…
