Arzew: Night Assault - My first map and first post.

[Axion]

I just downloaded and ran through it...

Nice work!

My only complaint (and it's not really a complaint at all) is that there is no liberation version. The layout looks like it would lend itself very well to liberation-style gameplay.

[[MOH]GreenMan]

Bjarne BZR, Wave objective sounds interesting. Would you be interested in scripting it ? If so I could send you my map file.

Axion, liberation version? Know anybody that could make that happen

[Axion]

Well, Bjarne wrote a liberation tutorial that works for Allied Assault, so I know that it's definitely possible.

Bjarne BZR, Wave objective sounds interesting. Would you be interested in scripting it ? If so I could send you my map file.

I'm really pressed for time right now but I'm interested in seeing how a Wave map dynamic would work... So send it to me, but I cant promise you anything at all.

[[MOH]GreenMan]

OK, I?ll send it when I get home from work.

I found your liberation tutorial (thanks for pointing that out Axion). I think I might give it a shot and convert it myself.

The Wave concept sounds very interesting. I understand about being pressed for time, but hurry up, I can?t wait to give it a try . It?s ideas like yours that keep MOHAA alive.

I?ll send you my other map that I'm working on. It?s almost done and I think it might work even better for your Wave concept. If you like it, let me know and when it's done I'll send you the finished version.

Thanks again guys.

I actually managed to find a completed Wave script I had...

I have a *.map file for it as well. Depending on your scripting experience you could decrypt the script to see what targetnamed objects are needed in the map... Else I'll mail you the map ( think I got bored with it because of a strange compiler error, so dont count on that map dude )

[[MOH]GreenMan]

What the ?

Humm, OK I think I can follow that.

I?ll probably regret this but..., OK... I?ll give it a try. Go ahead and send me the .map file.

Do you still want my map files?

[Bjarne BZR]

Do you still want my map files?

Not really. If you understand the script; you will know what to add to your map. So unless you run into problems: I won't need to see the actual map.

[LtNeil]

I have'nt even looked at your map yet(but i just downloaded it and i say ignore the moaners!
I have made a few maps myself and have turned dm into lib maps(although i dont think i will release them)and i know that you must have put in a lot of work to do this,so well done!!
If these other people took the time to do thier own maps they would see that unless your a genius its bloody hard work sometimes and when you have done something(that at least your proud of)it kind of hurts the old ego when people try to shoot you down in flames.

Once again well done and carry on mapping as its people like you(and me)that sometimes makes a map theat is sheer joy to someone else!!

[Axion]

Who's moaning? I think you should realize that any comments that were offered in this topic are opinions. No one is faulting the work that was put into this map, and no one is saying that more needs to be done.

The suggestions for modifying the map to be wave-based or liberation are exactly that- Suggestions. No one is demanding more work, so maybe you should calm down and reread this thread before you go and accuse others of trying to "shoot the author down in flames".

I can't speak for everyone, but the majority of the posters in this thread have all made maps, and we all understand the hard work and time that is needed to create one. But that doesn't mean we can't offer suggestions or ideas.

[[MOH]GreenMan]

Thanks LtNeil?

I didn?t take any of the post as moaning and only as positive suggestions. There were a couple of comments about choke points but I think they saw the error of their way once they tried it .

I?m almost done with my second map (that?s been over a year in the making ). I should be posting it soon. Once I?m done, I plan on turning both of them into a liberation and a wave map, thanks to Bjarne?s script.

Please keep the ideas coming

[LtNeil]

Sorry if i upset anyone or what i typed came out the wrong way,it seemed in MY opinion that there were some negative comments,but maybe i was just fresh from doing some mapping myself and i wanted to make the author of the map feel good about his work(in case any one put a "downer" on him).

sorry for rattling anyones cage to!,lol and i can not wait for the liberation version! Woohoo!

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

NIIICE greenman.... i always love the "algirs night" style... IT is just so cool... you could put music into the script to make it a little more...um...intemse!
