READY SET GO! BaseRace Beta3 - "Download Me!"


(CrazyGuy) #21

What is there to do for an Eng ?
Plant mines, defused the dyno. Thats it?

After the Eng lay down the limited amount of mines.(server-side) The ‘Landmine Sentry’ will take over the Eng job. Once the Eng Supplyment is built, up to lvl4.

Also, could you add more cover on the terrian. Soon boxes and crates ?


([MoB]Seany) #22

well engies also have to repair the rocket guns when they are destroyed, and im not sure but i think up to the “base walls” engies can blow up?

Is there a readme somwhere that explains everything in more detail?


(Northerner) #23

yeah, the map is great, we played it all day yesterday and loved it! but some shrubs/bushes or something in the middle would be good, and the 30 minute game time is a joke! LOL we added 100 minutes to the time and still ran out before all the boxes were brought back! we like to play till we finish the base and not worry about the clock! but if your wanting it left at 30 minutes you might want to reduce the number of boxes needed to complete the buildings and walls.

and yes, the mg’s in the towers needs to be fixed (pointing out)

would be nice to see a few more ladders in the trenches on the east and west sides maybe

cant think of much more, the map is awesome and was well worth the wait!!

oh yeah, i got the map mirrored on rtcwfiles.com also!

Within a few days (2) I will have a beta3-b version with fixed stuff, texture corrections, and some other stuff I didnt have finished. Also, I will have the ‘Mission Guide’ up on my website, which will discuss every construction, synergy bonus, and really everything about the map - in more detail than you would probably want. :slight_smile:

Northerner I was playing on your server yesterday you kept Panzering me. :slight_smile: I usually play as ‘Slayer’ or ‘FreedomFries’. GG.


(Northerner) #25

hey bud, great to see you in and you should feel honored if i was panzering you cause i never play that class! LOL
my mouse was on the verge of running out of juice and i didnt want to do much running around so i sat and defended!

hope to see ya in playing again, the clan loves the map!


(au.Hiroshima>) #26

Captain Triscuit , had you thought of having alternative scripts for different gametypes, as Ifurita has in Rochelle? That way you could have a quick version with fewer crates, for use in SW or CMP, and one with a long timelimit for Single Map Objective that keeps going when the counter reaches 0 (like the rtcw map/conversion of Depot does), which would be good for servers just running Baserace.


(CptnTriscuit) #27

That does sound like a good idea, but I didn’t know you could have a seperate script for modes other than Last Man Standing. Do you just add _SW to the script/objdata names?


(CooperHawkes) #28

nope, that has to be done in the script:

Might be handy to have some kind of script for servers with limited heavyweapons, balance out the armoury thing. An ETPro mapscript would do (far as I’m concerned).


(M8DNephelim) #30

I think the feedback from the M8D Betamaps server speaks for itself: the map is the best so far with the exception of the auto build. Make a beta 4 with the same features but without autobuild and give the engies back their job :wink:
really n1 though CptnTriscuit! :clap:


(Sauron|EFG) #31

Is it meant to be possible to hide inside the boxes with building material?


(l@gger) #32

ive played this mao on a few servers an love it. i was wondering if it would be possible to add a blimp or 2 that rotate around the map. maybe each team has to consrtuct something for the blimp to be able to lift off or maybe you have to deconstruct a gate to get to the blimp, i just think it would really add to the map. I know a blimp was used in the air assault map, if you wanna check out how it was done there.


(D3C0Y) #33

this is one of the best maps i’ve played on ET, keep up the splendid work :smiley:


(Northerner) #34

yep, it is my favorite map (still love baserace 2 tho) but BR3 really needs a lot longer game time! 30 minutes dont even come close to what is needed!


(mortis) #35

Special Request:

Can you make the construction box md3 models solid /and or opaque. Campers are able to hide in them and shoot enemies who can’t see them.


(Nerbil) #36

The map description that comes up while the map is loading has a few “/n” in it, instead of new lines. That formatting needs to be cleaned up just a little.

The two story assualt tower has a gun pointing the wrong direction, is it suppose to be that way? Because, I can’t figure out how to use it.

Map time definitely needs to be increased by another 15 minutes or so.

Otherwise, great map. Can’t wait for the next Beta

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

The change into autobuild, just made it another “I´m a medic” map, its sad that a great map has been turned into a medicmap.

Hate those maps where almost everybody play as a medic (well i must hate almost every map then :smiley: )

Hope that soon, somebody can come up with an idea, to make it less atractive to play as medic!!!


(get.lefty) #38

i like the auto-build but if it would cut down on script crazyness or map size it won’t be a big loss to remove it. it sucks when you’re playing like 3v3 and noone is playing eng so you can’t build stuff… but when it’s say 12v12 someone’s going to be playing eng anyway.

speaking of eng, when i reached l4 engineer (on the map) i couldn’t plant mines anymore. it said i had like 1000 available, too… which is odd.

nothing really new that i can add otherwise since the guns have been pointed out.

OH! when you use cov ops sneak pad, i sometimes come out in my own teams… middle tower area. it’s less of a “come out” and more of a “launch” though. if you don’t have the building built you get thrown down and take some damage. couldn’t you just land on the floor and not get “pushed” out of the teleport?


(Loffy) #39

sneak pads, in baserace3? Ive totally missed those.
I just log on, load up and frag away. Oh the joy! it’s been said over and over again but it’s worth repeating: this map is a classic already.

I’ve had about the same number of people tell me they love being able to camp in the boxes as I have had people tell me to please change it. Go figure. :stuck_out_tongue: I may make the boxes smaller so you can at least see the campers legs sticking out…

Can’t.

Adding stuff if pretty much out of the question - I have just about maxed out the entity limit and inline model limit.

Good old fashioned, home-grown, “my bad!”

Build your Armory to level 4, grab a panzer, and start pulping those pesky medics.

I love script crazyness. :slight_smile:

The landmine sentry (engineering level 4) can run through your teams landmine compliment in a hurry - be sure to plant all the mines you can before upgrading your engineering to level4.

Glad to see people are having fun on the map. I’ve played in some awesome games on a bunch of different servers.
