New map! Barnacleflight

[Naigel]

Hey guys, after playing WTF and flying around with those barnacle guns, I thought: hey, let's make a map especially for that.... with no objects blocking your way. The result:

Sorry for low quality pic :P .

-ANOTHER EDIT-

Please report any bugs here please!

[maDDin]

THX naigel! :D

[Pippa666]

Just checked it out, should be great for barnacle sky diving :)

[Sobek]

:O someone made a map for the little trick i found

i knew i should ahve copyrighted it as soon as i first did it

[SK]

Heh

Nice one, the maps on the server as we speak.

[Naigel]

Many thanks... we have tested it and I found some things to fix. Expect a newer version in about 2 days or so.

[SK]

What problems, doesnt look like too much could go wrong with that map?

[Naigel]

Well, people did not know what FORM A CIRCLE meant... so I've added little red circles for people to stand in. Now you can easily see who can stand where and connect better. I'm also working on a "mine mania" and a "zombie attack" area. You just have to wait for the newer version for that :) .

[Pro]v[etheus]

Good/fun map Naigel, shame people don't understand simple instructions :(

Well done

[Naigel]

Change list (for now):

Added circles on platform
Decreased platform size
Way less barnacles on platform (thus decreasing e_poly)
Secret modes (I'll tell you later on how to get to 'em :) )
Added instructions
Slight w_poly decreasage in the main room
Increased hight of main room
Increased hight of platform

I'll keep you all updated on B.F.2 :) .

[Naigel]

Is this a good instruction guide?

-EDIT-

This is the maximum size, so don't ask if it can be any bigger. But just look at text, is it good? Or should I change something?

[SK]

Seems ok to me, but theres always some who will be saying eh!?! Like when they ask how do I use the hook? After telling them 4x how to do it.

[Pro]v[etheus]

Would it be possible to have a multi-language version, say with a drop down menu where players can select their language ? ;)

[Naigel]

In what more languages do you want it?

[Pro]v[etheus]

I was actually joking Naigel ;) but i guess it wouldn't harm to put it in German, Spanish and French aswell ?

I think us Brits take it for granted that if someone joins a UK server then they can understand English.

[Naigel]

Ooh, just discovered I misspelled RAPELL... it should be rappel, or is the old one right? Agh, I shouldn't be bothered with that... still I wanna know.

[Naigel]

Damn, why can't I edit >_< I have to make new posts for just one sentence :( .

What I wanted to ask: does anyone have some idea's in his mind? Like minigames, I've got 2 new modes in my map (zombie attack and mine mania) but I would like to add in some more... so does anyone know some fungames?

[Pippa666]

Snap or perhaps tiddley winks, perchance ?

[SK]

Always wanted a map with crowbars only except the crowbar is tweaked to do more damage, like the secret on incoming the crowbar/lightsaber does 10x the damage

[maDDin]

Yeah a crowbar mini game with lots of zombies :D

[DrGreenThumb]

BarnacleFlight is an awesome map providing everybody knows how to play it :P

[Vorm]

Je ne comprend pas!

[SK]

:rolleyes:

-EDIT-

As you can see the main room has some changes... I removed the point entity lights with textured lights (this will decrease the e_poly), Also added squares (why no circles? That is causing a high w_poly), and turned the scale up of the texture (reducing w_poly). Have fun with these WIP screens.

[SK]

Yeah that was one thing, I though the map was quite dark. Nice to see extra lighting there.

[Pro]v[etheus]

Looking good naigel but the circles look awfully like squares or are my eyes playing tricks ?

EDIT: Just seen your edit

[SK]

/me hints to a secret room with credits :D

[Naigel]

Well, who would you like to see in the 'credit' room? It would be rather odd if you only see one name in it :P . But hey, this idea crosses my mind: if we can one time PW the server... and create a 10 person circle and DEMO it, I'll add those 10 people in the credits (betatesting and so on)...

As I said: an idea crossed my mind.

[Pro]v[etheus]

pffft, only cus you want a mention in the credits :rolleyes:

[SK]

We could try getting 10 people all on.

[Pro]v[etheus]

Count me in, just say the word.

[Pro]v[etheus]

The '1000 not out SK' thread just gave me an idea after seeing Vorms piccy....

How about reskinning the zombies in it to look like the cactus and call them SK ?

[SK]

LoL that would be funny. Far too much work though :)

[maDDin]

lol! great ideas! Do a secret room with credits, nice music and disco. ;)

[Naigel]

Ooh those words: DISCO and MUSIC, /me creates another room...

[SK]

Anymore and it will be another omg/wtf map ;)

[Naigel]

I'll just add a disco and a credit section... than I'll release B.F.2

Here's a WIP screen of the disco entrance:

[SK]

Gosh didnt take long. Nice.

[Naigel]

This is just a screen of the current version of where 10 people actually did got together and went flying:

[SK]

Nice, when we were trying earlier most people didnt understand what to do :(

[maDDin]

Yesterday I recorded a demo. Its a nice flight from Naigel and SK! :D

~1,55mb
Barnacleflight Demo (http://www.mitglied.lycos.de/drgreen2k3/barnacle.dem) (right click, save target as)

[Naigel]

I like teasing you with pic's :D ... here's the disco entrance ingame... I already see what is definitely going to change.

[maDDin]

[Naigel]

Of course I will... I'm really so close on finishing it, I just have to fix the mine room and some minor bugs.

[Vorm]

May download it and have a go myself - So long as the instructions are simple :D

[Pro]v[etheus]

Great stuff Naigel but the master is away until Saturday so we won't see it on the server until then at the earliest :(

[Vorm]

I think Miz has added maps in the past. May be wrong but it may be worth asking!

[DrGreenThumb]

bleh all your signatures are coolio :( mine is jsut simple text. oh and /me waits for new map :)

[Naigel]

Maddin also uploads maps, isn't that right?

[maDDin]
