MAP: Saberpeak alpha shots

Hey NOP

What is the typical FPS you are getting on this and what is your sys spec (so the FPS has some perspective)

Maybe you could upload some betamaps? We can point out bugs if we encounter them.

I haven’t done vis with it yet so it’s a little early to tell. However I’ll make sure it performs well by the end and I’m pretty confident that it will run well. If it doesn’t I’ll restructure whatever it takes to make sure it does. What’s the point of making it look good if it doesn’t perform. So you can be sure that the map will have good performance. But what you need to realize is that it is not the map itself that gives the biggest performance hits but the players. You could have a perfectly square room, but put about 10 people in it with artillery and panzers going off and you’ll see your fps cut in half. So to answer your question: We won’t know until the map is up on a server and people are playing it.

Hey NOP, when your map is ready for first beta, PM me if you want us to host your map for DL and for beta testing on our custom map server. I posted news about your map on our site and got lots of nagging members asking me ‘when when when???’ ;).

Great job!

/shameless :bump:

As per request of the more inpatient clan members: any news yet NOP ;)?

Sorry but a few unexpected things came up and so I had to put the map on hold for a while. Had I followed my original schedule it would’ve been out by now, but some RL problems popped up so I had to take care of a few things. :disgust:
I should be able to start working on it again this week, but unfortunately it’s not gonna be ready for at least a couple more weeks. Actually forget I said that…seems every time I make a plan, something comes up and screws up my schedule.
Sorry to disappoint you guys but you can’t really predict certain things.
Don’t worry though, as I’ll get back on track very soon and it will be out before you know it. Probably just in time for summer vacation(for all you high schoolers :wink: )

(deej) #58

Man NOP please really do not worry about it, I was just curious on how you were progressing, I certainly didn’t mean to put extra pressure on your shoulders.

We all know you do this in your free time and we appreciate all the hard work you and the other very talented mappers put in their map. So keep it up! And when the time is there, we’ll be playing your absolutely stunning map.

Greetz,

Deej

NOP, just wanted to let you know, the screen shots look awesome. If the game plays half as good as the images look, we’re in for a good map! Thanks for taking the time to create this one. Keep up the good work. If you ever need help Beta testing, just let me know by email.

thanks for the nice words. :slight_smile:

Map is finished. Just taking care of the last few details(scirpting etc).
I was gonna release it this weekend but I didn’t manage to finish everything in time, so it will be released next weekend at the very latest( but most likely earlier).
I’m releasing a public beta so I can get as many people to test it as possible.
I hope I get some costructive feedback because I’ve left a lot of gameplay issues “in the air” so that they can be decided during beta testing.

I’ve constructed the map so that things(mainly objective balance) can be changed easily, and for every objective I will provide in the README file possible alternate ways of completing it that i could implement, so if people feel things are not well balanced, they can just pick a different scenario from the README and i will implement the most popular ones in the final version.

I figured this would be the best way of doing it since the alternate versions are things that I know would require little work from my part and could be done very easily ;).
Of course I welcome any suggestions from anyone, but in general I would prefer people to stick to my suggestions so that I don’t get things like. “Make new skins so that everyone is wearing a bathing suit”. Although…
