Level designer needs map editor (Total Tankrace)


(EB) #21

Well P4nth3r…when you do have the time to learn(months of free time…no eating or sleeping allowed !..hehe :stuck_out_tongue: )
…you’ll know where to find an overwhelming resource of knowledge and examples.

Did you know that making a halfway decent map takes well over a few hundred hours ?

To Loffy

Shaderman has made a map with more tank routes allready so we could always ask him for help with the script.
I have read a script tut once and it didn’t seemed that hard.

Btw my design is not just about a two path tank etc.
The whole design is made for perfect game play. (favor the weak etc)

and to EB

I have a full time job, a girl friend, and my own clan.
I do not have time to learn mapping, let alone make a halfway decent map =(
I know people tell me, lose the girl friend, I tried =P (but she didnt want to go) :wink:

Anywayz, I’ll keep pumpin this post until I have found somebody who has run out of map ideas and feels like helping.

Hi.

@Loffy
Have a look at this thread http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=13016 :wink:

I could help with the tank scripting for your map. It shouldn’t be too hard to move two tanks around. Using the tank gun is AFAIK still only possible with one tank.

Hehe, I know this. But I don’t accept your “I don’t have time” when I see your Xfire stats :stuck_out_tongue: You played 26 hours this week (Monday to Thursday) which are about 6 hours each day. Play half as much and you’ll have time for mapping and doing this project on your own :wink:

BUSTED !!! :poke: :nag: :fluffle:
…so you’d rather spend your time gaming ??? tsk tsk.


(P4nth3r) #26

That would be the owning a clan part don’t you think.
For you it is playing for us it is training. =/
Sure it is some fun, but I also make soundpacks and small mods etc.

Maybe with a good teacher I could start mapping.
Who wants to give me soms lessons 1 or 2 hours a week =P

(P4nth3r) #27

nobody?


(carnage) #28

teaching someone mapping over something like msn is no small feet

there is so much to covern and it cna be very hard to try and explain where all the buttons are and what they can see etc. i have tried with some others

i found it much easier to point them to the same tutorials that i learnt from. but there are sertain things like vis that can take a long time to get an understanding of. i gess some ppl are made to be mappers and some arnt


(EB) #29

So if you’d like to pay for lessons, I am sure you’ll receive some teaching offers.


(P4nth3r) #30

Well, I don’t have much time as I already told.
Still nobody who wants to make this map?

Hallo!
I took some parts from my old map FFF Mayhem, and put together this non-serious, non-competitive and 100%-fun-map, based on your original design:

What a nice guy to make P4nth3r’s map !
Ok Loffy now my idea starts with 34 tanks in the congo…the axis side has 4 doors… :nag: :nag: :nag: :nag: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously now > I will look at this and complain about it for no reason…::oops:: I mean I will play it and like it no matter what because it is a ‘LOffy Map’ ! :nag: :nag: :nag: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

[trance] All Hail Loffy [/trance]

Ok I am done being an idiot… :wink: :banana: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :lol: :banana: :moo: :chef: :cool: (for today)

@ Weebull, getting some name recognition already ? …cool.

@ Loffy > when did you start Loffy.com ? …I was going to offer you a subdomain@ my site.
www.loffy.spyjuice.com << try it…it works.


(Loffy) #33

Thx EB! Niiice! But I just got this loffy.com site, at a swedish web hotel (loopia.se). 100 Mb.
Still like… THE worst intro page up yet (lorem ipsum filled). I’m just to un-motivated and sub-skilled to fix a decent homepage.

Anyhow, I did manage to produce this UBER-MOVIE! (quicktime-format):
FILM: http://www.loffy.com/mapping/maps/totaltankrace/totalttankrejsalltsa.mov (Right-click-save-as, 16Mb)
Amazing. Technology at its best. Notice the crystal sharp images and clear colours.

I only have 1 thing to say !!!

Put your 4$$ in the air!

How did you make the map so fast Loffy ?

You must have an extensive prefab list…splines and such. Care to have them hosted ? www.loffy.spyjuice.com ? hehehe


(codejockey13) #35

Try coming up with something else.


(EB) #36

HUH ? who and why plz…


(kamikazee) #37

Maybe because of this beta?

(Loffy) #38

OK, I uploaded some screenshots from my new custom map Total Tankrace (beta 2) here:
http://www.pcgamemods.com/screenshot/77024.html

I get 60 fps at the lowest (geforce 3 Ti500) when clowning around in the map.

(P4nth3r) #39

I most say, not half bad and very fast work loffy.
I see you put some ideas of your own in there very nice work.
The visual design can be improved a little here and there (little more ww2 settings) but it’s very nice.
If it’s ok with you I’ll run it on my server and see how the game play works out (my gameplay design was all in theory)

Thnx & greetz Panther
