.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Hello again to everybody

Still alive I am and here's a little WiP I'd like to get some comments.

As usual, it's a rather small FFA map for AA. Well I guess u better take a look yourself, and if you're kind, you tell me what you think.
Here's the pk3 incl map (2.9MB)

I will check it out - but i don't even need to see screenshots to know maps by Wacko = excellence = fun. We love all your little treasures at TWL.

Thanks Wacko

Awesome map Wacko - Is the star suppose to hide under some of the roof tops? If not i would suggest star_z = 750

cool idea.

darn, a typo. it was supposed to be 840 instead of 480 I already wondered why it does look standing so low
thanks m8!

ps: online version is updated

That looks like a very good dm map

Great work

great map wacko. atmosphere/lighting is beautiful. structure is great. play area wonderful. including the .map file was a great idea, this is a perfect map to study if you're new or even experienced in mapping for all the above .

thank you for all your friendly words

(although I was hoping to get info on how to improve it )

What about fps? I test on AMD4800+/2GB/GForce7900, so it's hard for MOH to get into trouble in any case.
That little stars (1 per player) seem to have quite an impact; maybe they should be dropped, if their benefit in gameplay wasn't that big

Already changed some bits:
- the skylights got windows
- (tried to) fix some of the lighting bugs in the staircases
- rebuilt the bridge

I will playtest it tonight and pretty soon, u will either see a official release or find it in the recycling bin (rather both )

cu wacko

Looks great congrats, shame I cant play it or map at the moment...might be vista or dodgy copy of moh
Once again looks good to me.

Seere/Imagination.

Wacko - i like the star idea - maybe a cvar switch so it can be turned off if theres more than a few people. Or tuned on when there is just a few. either way would be good.


Seere why do you keep changing your name? lol

Ya, that will be the best solution.

That playtest tonite uncovered the fact that these stars didn't work at all. Probably because I "finetuned" the script in the afternoon, but maybe it never worked at all without another pk3 in main (dm_sub).

Anyway, I uploaded a new version where there ought to be no problems. Sorry for this inconvenience, but that's what wip maps are for, aren't they

On the other hand, this map is so small that u won't dare to look up into the sky searchin for little stars - loads of bullets will find YOU if u did

I saw stars just fine - but i have dm_subs pk3 hehe.

the very best tho would be to extract the stars-stuff into a seperate pk3: Handling would be easier and I could use it in any map
But there, I'd need to set the height individually.
So, my Qs are: Is the maps height identifiable via script? How would I start the script?

Me likes it

You would need to set each map individually, you could use a switch statement.

Is this still WIP?
