The first MS surf map [Cancelled]

[evilsquirrel]

PROJECT CANCELLED


bwahaha!

you wish i'd make a normal map...

anyways! the premise of this map...you surf down some angled walls blah blah blah...you know that part...but what you dont know! is that there's orcs shooting at you while you're doing it! And there could even be some fights...with...things...

MAP FEATURES:

surfing!
bieng shot at while surfing!
you can start on this map!
lots of green!


MORE TO BE ADDED!


Considering adding the following:

An info booth to tell people how to surf
some breakable waves >: D
hard to get to chests with some money
multiple stages
a surf series of maps...leading you slowly to keledros!
a noob training spot...for people who dont want to surf...(non cheatmap-style)
i might make it a forest...

Don't use Hammer's internal compiler tools. See my response to yonder thread.

Your first problem, is that you are logged in as default Administrator, Mr. PleaseWormMeWithABigNastyVirus.

Second problem - is you must export the MAP file before ZHLT will work with it. ZHLT Likes MAPS rather than RMFs.

 

[evilsquirrel]

ooo....thanks again thothie

ps: i have plenty of anti virus software

 

[Thothie]

All of which means nothing, if someone (or something) logs into your computer as default administrator.

compiling is EVIL

 

[HomestarR]

Is it even possible to make surf maps in hl1? I have seen them in hl2 (cs:s actually) but I have never seen it in hl1

I don't think I would play it, I am horrible at surf maps and would end up dieing to the point I am lvl 1 adventurer again. (unless, of course, you made it so if you fell you wouldn't die)

 

[Jester]

Yea they actually started in HL1 and were very popular in CS. I suppose you could make a teleport on the ground so you didn't die.

Lol surf map for ms:c? That would be cool. I'll be watching this thread

 

[JabbahRulz]

sounds fun, man the bows and cannons/spells. SCURVY! (yes i know cannons have nothing to do with surfing, but whats wrong with a surfboard manned with a cannon to do someones evil bidding )

 

[DReaM]

Well I'd like to point out one of the problems with surfing in ms, which will make it completely pointless. The only way to have some fun surfing is with sv_airaccelerate 100, but they have already made it impossible to change cvars. I havn't surfed in months but I could beat every surf map for cs, and I was good at tricks, and surfing in cs is much much MUCH better than surfing is in source. So basically, in order to make a surf map for ms, which I too considered, you would have to make it very basic and easy and tricks would be pretty much impossible. I guess we could ask to have 100 air accel as default or something, but being able to make it whatever you want could cause some problems if we were able to make the air accelerate negative.

Edit: I just read you're other topic and yes, air accel does not work. Unless we get some, surfing will be pretty boring.

 

[evilsquirrel]

bah...if airaccelerate doesn't work i'll have to come up with some other sort of thing to make...

 

[commandfox]

to be honest whats stopping people from just hitting the bottom of the ground when the max dmg you can get from dropping is only 10?

 

[evilsquirrel]

it would've been a killzone, or a teleport

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

to be honest whats stopping people from just hitting the bottom of the ground when the max dmg you can get from dropping is only 10?

There's a server command that governs this:
mp_falldamage "0" - 10 damage from whatever height you fall
mp_falldamage "1" - damage increases with height

I have it set to "1" all the time because I just love watching newbies fall to their death in Edana (to the sewers), in the open plains (spider cave) or at any other place. It teaches players to be careful (and it's fun)

 

[HomestarR]

I made that mistake at the sewers. I had 13 hp and I broke the haystacks. I didn't realize that thing would slide out from under me and I got wtfpwned by gravity.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Exactly! There's nothing funnier than watching people die there! Good job, HomestarR

 

[evilsquirrel]

Could someone give me thier exact settings in options....

for the following...

Game Configurations
Build Programs

EXACTLY what you have in those...i think thats the problem i have for compiling

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

 

[evilsquirrel]

thanks JM

Perhaps now i shall work on...STUFF!

I have an idea for a map (or map series), but i'm not sure if theres enough (or proper types) of monsters in MSC currently...it needs zombies...and mages that dont one hit you...

/me thinks of what monsters would be ideal for new map idea...

Spiders - check
Rats - check
zombies - no
mages - no
skeletons - check
bats - check
Goblins - check
Troll - check
Dwarves - check
Keledros (AGAIN!) - check


meh.... zombies aren't too important...but the mages are

 

[Crow]

imo the goblins should look less like small orcs


__________________________

 

[evilsquirrel]

they should have armor...but armor that looks like they just tied a piece of leather to thier body...and then mybe duct taped some metal onto it...really horribly made armor.

and goblins should be smaller than orcs...but perhaps less of a "lets shrink the orcs and call them goblins"....
