New map release! Panzer_fight

(Lockeownzj00) #1

Note: this should nto be judged for realism, size, or anything else. This is a silly little map to have fun with for a little with 10 people, in which case it is utter chaos. Apparently, everyone thinks that this is the extent of my skill. I made this quickly, for fun deathmatches–do not judge it as a goldrush map, or a rhine map. Judge it as a crazy map to shoot the hell out of people. With cannons.

Yes, it’s true folks! I don’t have any pictures yet, but as of now, here’s how it works.

Axis side and Allied side each have 6 cannons that shoot, and are usable every 12 seconds. There is a garage door in the center that can only be opened by a button on either side, which closes after 20 seconds. This is a deathmatch map. Please have fun!

I release this proudly under the [BC] mapping group name!

I have also invtented a new stage of development, just for me! :smiley:

I am going to call public betas “thetas” from now on. I realize that GAMMA comes after beta, but I like theta, ok?!

Anyway. Please tell me if the pk3 works, and if it does, give me your reviews!

It is nearly complete, but the reason why it is still theta is because the mapcoords have yet to be fixed, plus the levelshots and the tracemap. Pog’S, could you help me with this, maybe? Anyway.

[u]IMPORTANT NOTE: You can use the cannons by just pressing “use” in the back of them![/u]

Also, a good spawn time for the map is 12 seconds.

Enjoy!

I hope this works. If it does not, please contact me as soon as possible!

edit: here’s a pic! the map is small, so this is an idea of what it likes. It’s one of the sides.

I’ll say the note again to make sure you know.

Also, there is one known glitch. You can still open the door if you go up close–but then again, I might not make that a glitch, I just might make it a thing you can do.

If the pk3 works and the angelfire mirrors go down, could someone upload for me?

Here’s a mirror if you want it: http://etmapping.andityler.com/maps/panzer_fight_theta.pk3

Nice little tech-demo type thing, the guns should have an icon though to show you can use them. The big door in the middle could use a sound effect too. Also why not compile with -light?

(Lockeownzj00) #4

Also! I know most people are going to say, “Too small!”

Well if anytones played CS, this is an INTENTIONALLY SMALL map with cool features! I hope you enjoy it for deathmatches, along the lines of King of the Hill ET!

Also this is still THETA, and there are 5 or 6 kinks to work out–don’t worry I will add them in future!

i really dont think that is what SO wants i dont know why you posted this!

(Lockeownzj00) #6

Uh…I am part of SO, and this is one of the “Single Maps.”

But…even so, I hope it’s ok :open_mouth:

(Dark Killer) #7

well it sais on the so forum that u are not part of team members it looks like u register recently and posted the thing in single maps about this map, but i think SO would look for higher quality maps than this, this maybe good for trying out yourself but I don’t think that u can get any good gameplay out of it and it just give SO a bad image so until its officially confirmed with pogs this map and his creator does not represent SO!

(Lockeownzj00) #8

Haha, this isn’t supposed to be a big sprawling map.

I purposley made this small.

First of all, I asked Pog’S, and he accepted me into the team. I don’t know what they think about the single map yet, but I am part of SO.

Have you ever played King of the Hill ET? It’s supposed to be a gigantic hectic deathmatch. Don’t treat me like I don’t know what I’m doing. This is beyond the reactions (not size or gameplay) of most maps, and besides, this is no where near what I could do. It is an intentionally small deathmatch arena–don’t judge it as a big map.

I assumed that if I am part of a mapping group and I release a single map, it is under them. If need be, I will remove it however.

(bsimser) #9

It’s not quantity, it’s quality that SO strives for. I’m a part of it (aka Sloth) and I know that we strive for quality, realism, accuracy and fun. I don’t see any of these qualities in this map. While Pogs may have accepted you into the group (and I see you just joined today) you still have to prove yourself. I don’t see this here but maybe that’s just my opinion. Anyways, we’ll take it to the SO forums because it doesn’t belong here.

(Lockeownzj00) #10

Alright, if you hate it, it’s ok.

I personally believe realism doesn’t matter unless you are striving for it.

I just wish someone who has played CS was here, they would understand…I actually have other normal maps in the making, but this particularly clicked with me.

(diaper eater) #11

i play cs, i know how it is, i commend you on making a fun map, i dont see why ppl flip out when a map isnt highquality, but its high quality fun

(Ozzie) #12

But if your going to put the SO name on it, SO does strive for realiism, so it does matter!!

BTW: Using theita might sound good to you, but, plan on explaining it alot!!! You are trying to insert slang into a language that is well established (programing cycles) and not just in mapping, but in all programing communities. Everyone understands beta and the ramifications of running beta, but that is lost on everyone who has not read this thread, and realized that you have ‘coined’ a new phrase.

(Lockeownzj00) #13

That’s exactly why I do it–I do it for me. Theta Is just a joke for fun. I’m not REALLY going to use it. I completely understand everything you say. I was just using it for panzer.

And anyway, have you even SEEN the single maps section of SO? What do you call Sky High Radar? How is that realistic in any way?

(Ozzie) #14

Yes I read it often in fact (being a member myself), but although deathmaster is a member of SO, he does not state that it is a SO map, so I do not expect it to be a realisim map.

As for theta, you did use it, in the name of your map, so it is not just something for you. Server Admins will have to know what it means, if the want to keep the most up-to-date map on their server.

(Lockeownzj00) #15

For all they know it could be part of the map name.

Alright, maybe you’re right: I won’t release it under SO.

(Ozzie) #16

And thats the problem, when you release final, there will be confusion, just ask Marko, if you don’t beleave me.

Alright, maybe you’re right: I won’t release it under SO.

Cool, I’ll take a look and let you know what I think, that is if you still want my opinion :eek3:

(Lockeownzj00) #17

Heh, thanks.

The problem is, with small maps, everyone thinks, “wtf it’s not big!!! no objectives?!?!?!?!?! BAD!”

These things are very common in other games. Oh well. It’s not supposed to be som ebig level-just something to have fun with for a little.

Plus, when I release final it’ll be called “final” :stuck_out_tongue:

(twiFight) #18

ladies ladies… some screenshots would help SO much…

(Osirin Ra) #19

well the way i see it is DM belongs in DM based games like q3a. ET is objectives based and should stay as such. Its trivial making a map like this because its a waste of ET’s intended purpose.

Keep practicing!

(Lockeownzj00) #20

Alright, if you say so.

BUt let me tell you i am insulted by you saying “keep practicing.” This is not the extent of my capabilities, and it seems everyone in the ET community has never played any other FPS before.

You shouldn’t have to go to other games to play DM matches. ET is an objective based game, but why be closed-minded? I see nothing wrong with fun deathmatches.

Ever play attack_beta? “sleeper” hit so to speak–and no objective in sight.
