The Sky Is The Limit Beta Out!

Ok...i just played the map with 10 guys...everything was fine...except the
pings went up...but not much...and sometimes when you spawn you die...but usually when someone else is right there gettin ready to take off

Is there a way to make it so you can change views or like in PS2 games how you can hit a button and it shows whats behind you?

I'll see what can be done... toggle gear with different button seems good idea but not sure if I have any buttons left unused

will also look into a rear cam or maybe free cam

p.s. there is not a maximum altitude set, not sure why you blew up (might have flown out of the skybox - there's no protection against that yet).

hopefully, u'll find an unused key somewhere

the 'boom' happens when u 'crash' into the skybox. touching the walls atleast is causing it, so the ceiling brush probably does the same. for 'final' maps u should add a triggerable 'warning box' inside the skybox, which gives the player a message of something like 'Attention, u're leaving the flyable area!'. Maybe, it could switch on (make visible) another box with red stripes to show the border once u're too near.

Or, how about teleporting the player to the other side?

Yea...i figured i had found the top of the skybox! Oh well, i had fun climbin tho...

hey JV...i noticed that inside the pk3 you threw in the .map file...Is it ok if i play around with the textures...maybe add some buildings and objects to fly threw and around? A huge pond or lake would be cool! Maybe even a new sky box and some rain and lightning! I know the map is in its beta version...but i have it hosted on my website and i have many people who play on my server who are downloading it and playing it...and just so you know, so far you've gotten about 30+ thumbs up!

Cheers!

Yes that's why I included the .map file, mod it as you wish

Hey JV...one more thing i noticed when playing...if you are injured and pick up a health pack it doesnt give you any health....it goes up but then just drops back down to where you were at before you picked up the health pack and then it takes one health off! Any ideas?

sounds intentional, after all, although you can't realistically heal full power with a morphien kit, t's even worse possibilities that your WW2 Stuka can repair in mid-flight.
