sc_minastirith_b1 release

[Joene]

Here is the first beta of my new map: sc_minastirith. As the name refers, it takes place in the large battle from LOTR: ROTK.

The models I used are made by NIPPER, the statue is made by the DOD team.
And some of the textures are from CS.

NOTE: there are a lot of monsters in the map, that spawn at the same time, so there is lag. To get rid of the lag, kill the monster :)
And not that this is a beta version. Plz report bugs by posting in this thread, or by sending me an email.

Screens: just download the map lazy asses.

Have phun.

Oops didnt see this thread here. Ill download it later and give it a try. I would stick it on the server but I run a policy of only Final maps.

Change the sky, place a light_environment in it. Reduce the lag (those monster is not the only cause). Add some music for atmosphere...

[Joene]

There is a light_environment, but I want to have it dark. Orcs hate light.
And reducing the lag will be the point Im working on right now.
And btw, the sky is stupid mistake :) I forgot to include them in the zip (I just realised :P)
And music will be ingame, altouh I want to have more opnions about that, cause maybe other poeple wnt to listen to metallica, and not to LOTR music.

[Joene]

Oh,a nd btw, u got anything positive to say ;)

[Naigel]

Nice architecture. I like it how the orcs 'climb' up the ladder.

[Joene]

And a 2nd btw, Im gonna remake the map (what I want to do for a long time, cause this map was laying below dust on my HD) and make the area's more concentrated so there is less lag (I want HL2).

Ill make it quick, cause Ill use some stuff from this beta.

The darkness was the first thing that was an annoyance. The next was the amount of orcs that spawned. I liked the map as it continues the nm_moria / nm_helmsdeep themes. Was a little short though, we killed the cave trolls and the map ended. I thought maybe the time had ran out at first. Overall more lighting I think, less Orcs on screen at any one time maybe (PC overheated and crashed (No joke either :))).

[Pro]v[etheus]

I agree with SK on this one as we were both on a server together playing the map, definitely too dark and too many Orcs.

[Joene]

Before I released it, I had the Pelenor field in it. Again, with a lot of orcs. :P
And the Mumakils were [played by the Big Moma's ;)
But for some reason, that part wasn't right, and I had a lot of errors. So I skipped it.
If u want to see this back in my remake (that prevents a lot of lag!!!), just tell me.

And maybe It was to dark, but maybe your gamma is low. However, Ill make the next one brighter.

And after the Cave Trolls, wtf do I have to do then. Just like the movie, whole Minas Tirith got overrun.
I can put a 2nd level in it, but I hope it wont lag
Damn, when Im typing this, I got a great id :)
Gotta go, gotta map ^^

[[D-S] You]

If you can put mp3's into your map, i got the song/ some quote i might be able to send you.

AND:

maybe you should also have ballistae. just thinking.

[Naigel]

I don't think you can't. With another mod (NS) you can. But they made a special entity for that. Svenco-op doesn't have that entity.

[Fortune Hunter]

sounds tantalizing.... im gonna give it a whirl

[Jon]

finish map wanna play :D

[Joene]

Never thought people were still generous of this map. To be honest, I gave up mapping for HL, and started mappeing for BF42, to try something new.

Terain editing is fun.

(ow, and I dont make maps to release it public, I make them for fun, my Hd is full of cool maps :))

[Jon]

:/ give them 2 SK :D
