Mountain Radio (b1)

(eRRoLfLyNN) #1

This is my first map released to the public. This is very scary! :moo:

From the README:

Mountain Radio is a small teams / warmup intended, dual objective map for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Both teams must steal and transmit 3 of their opponent’s secret documents to win. The time limit is set to 10 minutes, but no-one will win until one team has successfully transmitted 3 documents. It’s designed for clan warmups and times when your server is quiet. The map has been tested for 1v1 to 4v4 and has resulted in fast-paced, fun-packed games. I dont think it would function well with anything over those numbers, but I could be wrong! :stuck_out_tongue:

Time limit: 10 minutes
Allies Spawn Time: 15 seconds
Axis spawn Time: 15 seconds
Objectives: Dual obj - steal 3 of your opponent’s secret documents and transmit them at your base radio
Gametypes: mp, obj & sw

Credits:

  • Thanks to Drakir for the lovely Radar prefab
  • Thanks to Lanz and his Silly_CTF script, this really made my script easier to write
  • Thanks to all the testers on the Bolthole. All my VPL clan buds & M4X spankage, :RedleB:, xOr, HumanCanniBal, BenMcDermott, Dazza, WatchYourBack:-), PapaSchlumpf & cadea.

Notes:

  • 2 textures (the team signs / flags) & 1 sound (allies alarm) from Wolf: ET have been modified & renamed by me and included in the pk3. I don’t claim to have created these textures / sounds. It was the only way I could figure to best use them in my map.
  • If you would like to add this map to any script, the (bsp) name is mountainradio_b1.

Known Issues in b1:

  • Team members seem to spawn into the same spawn point / spawn on top of each other (fixed for b2)
  • Mortar ‘allegedly’ seems to go through the sky at times :stuck_out_tongue: (I still say this is lies!)
  • Missing texture on documents

I’ll have to take a look at it, just to see how big/small it is. Seems the teams allmost spawn onto each other.

Nice wee map imo. As its beta1 and your first effort I think its nice.
Very hectic which I like and obviously changes can be made but for B1 there is potential.

Then again I am a VPLer and errol paid me to say that!

Thanks Loffy :smiley:

Please note it is only intended as a warmup / frag map, nothing else. A few times I was playin it it felt like Q3 ctf, but I MAY have been drunk. :]

I’ve had a run around alone on the map now and for it’s intented use it looks very nice. Personally I think I’d like some more cover in the open areas but thats just due to my low-skill style! :cool:

If you want something to do for B2 you might consider adding some details and trim to the structures maybe?

Thanks Loffy, I always thought there was somethin funny about the documents, but could never figure out what it was! :]

(Loffy) #12

I had a look, and the map is professional - made with an eye for details like script and sky. Is that a sky portal or whatever it is called? A camera, in a small lanscape and the view projected onto skybox? I’ve never managed to do that in any of my maps so you’re way ahead of me there.

Is there a command post in the map? I do not remember if I saw one.

(eRRoLfLyNN) #13

It is a skybox outside my main map, using a sky portal Loffy. I can send you the map file if you’d like to take a look.

No command post. The only objectives are to kill and steal! :moo:

You could later make it on a real mountain :slight_smile:

It’s a mirror map, and small, but not unplayable small.

The teams don’t spawn onto each other - from one end to the other takes about 20 seconds to run. It isn’t meant to be a serious map in any way, it’s good for fast CTF fun, like Quake 3 maps only smaller. I’ve seen medics, fieldops, panzers, covs, snipers, mortars, flamers, MGs lovin it, and not a single place to stand still for XP whores on it.

I may be (am) biased, but if you’re a clan lookin for a warmup map, I think you could do a lot worse than this. VPL use it and we lose almost every game! What more can I say?! :moo:

Think Valhalla x Silly_CTF :]

I plan to :]
