(Loffy) #1

Here is a new custom map that I made called Ambition 2, complete with Omni-bot files.

You can simply start a testserver here: http://wolffiles.de/index.php?filebase&fid=4678

I will set up a server with etpub or something and let it run there + some other new maps

EDIT: will actually try silent mod…

No, only new maps with way files

Thank you for including the waypoints with your new map, it amazes me that many mappers do not do this. I will probably add this map to my next server.


(Mateos) #11

The thing is that at the moment there’s no online documentation available to learn waypointing, excepted a YouTube channel which shows how to implement goals :confused:

I’ve read here and there FPS issue, I checked myself: the middle area is 50-60 FPS, 37k vertices ^^’ Some hiting inside buildings could be added maybe?

Besides this, I like the layout and general map design, your usual style :slight_smile: Maybe less bounce iterations in light compile to avoid redish/yellowish lighting (I know for Supply WE I had to lower it to 2 to avoid that :/), the details here and there are really nice, surrounding buildings, prop placement, like it a lot :slight_smile:

Thank you!


(ailmanki) #12

Nice!
I add it to
bunker2.aaxxss.com:27960
you can vote for it actually, as there a lots of maps rotating…
/callvote map ambition2


(tjimboo) #13

map looks good but the fps is really bad so had to take it out of rotation :frowning:
If there is a updated version ill be glad to add it to our standard rotation.


(Loffy) #14

Link to the post where Sock states that frames-per-second (FPS) “is king”.

Rest assure there will be an Ambition 3 released by yours truly in a not too distant future.

One of the great things with the Omni-bot system is that the waypoint file (the routes that the bots take across the map) can be tweaked and re-used with ease.

I dunno how is the structure inside the buildings, but from the spawn point of specs I can see the inside of the building at the other side of the map.

At this location and looking in this direction, 58-60 FPS, so without players/arty etc…

Map Looks very nice. Congrats! Just out of curiousity, how did you do this with the bots? Am now Mapping since some years but still don’t Know how to test the Map using AI.


(Loffy) #17

Teuthis, I downloaded and installed the Omni-bot mod, and followed the Omni-bot Wiki. There, I could figure out how to “get the bots going”. I started one year ago, while the site was still intact. Unfortunately there was some technical problems with the site recently, and it had to be re-initiated. During the last month, the site is back in business under a new web address:
http://omni-bot.invisionzone.com
However, the Omni-bot Wiki is not yet up. All work on Omni-bot, including this site and its Wiki, is done volontarely. I guess we all just have to wait for the Wiki to be opened again.


(Teuthis) #18

Got it. Thanks Loffy


(Loffy) #19

Mateos, tjimboo, and others, you were all right: the map is too open, and the fps drops like Titanic in certain areas. Solution: I will make an updated and improved version soon, entitled Ambition 3. I will post it in a new, separate thread. (With new Omni-bot files also.) Thanks for your feedback guys.
