The forgotten Temple

Alright, I know none of you like me, It's pretty goddamn clear; But I want to make a map. I've already been working a little bit on a map that I plan on making a temple based map (Due to difficulty.) I felt that an outdoor map would be a tad hard for me to start out on, So easy first.


Stuff about the map: I plan on making this a medium to high level map, The main monsters that you'll be encountering are skeletons and maybe some other goodies, And the boss; ..Well I've got no idea about that. Hopefully, Some sort of Giant skeleton (Somewhat like The Dread Knight Sir Geric, Just a different name.)

It's pretty much a temple that was built back during the great war, And fell to the armies of Lord Undamael, Thus the remnants were turned into living dead. You'll start outside of a small cave, Surrounded by stone walls. Instantly you're confronted by a small amount of undead guards that were stationed outside; Which means it's pretty quick to jump in the action.


Rewards: Nothing too good, Just pretty much anything Thothie sees fit will do, But I was thinking maybe a special sword that the Boss wielded could be dropped for the player to have as the reward.

And of course, The stuff that I've gotten done as of now. (I.E. Screen shots.)

THIS IS SOMETHING I'M DOING SERIOUSLY, AND FOR YOUR BENEFIT! Which means keep the flaming to a minimum.

Feedback would all be nice, I'd like to know what I can do to improve the map and make it better. (Yes, I know it's pretty damn empty as of now. ) And also, Some areas I'm going to make larger; Due to cramped-ness. Now please, Discuss.

 

[Dark_Force9999]

maybe if you can throw in more vertex manipulation or make some interesting shape in it, that'll be nice.

 

[Vlad]

Done, And I've added some new textures also; Because I think the previous was ugly.

What I've got so far, Any better? (Note: I've also made the spawn larger, Because I felt it was cramped.)

& @ Thothie: What the F*ck is the difference between ms_player_begin, And ms_player_spawn? I figured ms_player_spawn was where the players would spawn at, and ms_player_begin; The beginning of the level? I'm not sure, I'd like some further info about that 'cause I'm a little confused. :?

 

[PBarnum]

Meh, its doing ok. Lots of detail, but not a lot to where it takes away from game play. Keep working on it!

ms_player_spawn : where the player spawns after they die

ms_player_begin : where the player spawns at the beggining of the map

 

[Thothie]

Kokris has made enough cheat maps to figure this out, surely.

 

[Vlad]

Eh.. No, I told you, Those days are over and I'd really rather just forget about all that, Anyhow; Thank you for actually answering my question Crow.

 

[tehrilez]

Map looks a little boxy.


As for not liking you, I have no idea who you are/what you did, so it doesn't really matter to me. Release a GOOD map.








not an uber hard map for +40

 

[PBarnum]

Heh, I don't think you want to know. His other 14+ different alias' are all hated.

Kokris, you can't escape your past, so stop trying to.

 

[Vlad]

Well I can't help but try, And it's fine with me that you don't forgive me, Hell; I can understand why you wouldn't. But I'm just trying to let you guys know that I'm not a crazy 14-year old kid fueled on destroying the MS:C community or anything like that. The least I can do to make it up for you guys is make you a map.

Anyhow, Not to drift out of subject any longer, I'll post some more screenies. And Rilez, Do you think these edits make my map seem less boxy; Or anyone for that matter.

[tehrilez]

looks fine.

 

[Lanethan]

Lookin' more than half decent.

Crow's definition on player spawn and player begin is wrong I believe. You shouldn't have to worry about using player begins, just spawns.

 

[Thothie]

Nein, you have to use both or no one can join your map.

 

[PBarnum]

What I have learned. Just use both to spawn a player.

 

[The Man In Black]

Aye, I think that's what most people do ;-)

 

[Tull]

That first room, it looks like you've just been dropped into it by an angry god or something. Perhaps you could make a door or something to show how you really got there. It could be used as trans too if the map where to be integrated into the world map.

Imo, those walls seems quite misplaced too. I've never heard of a cave with stone walls around it, even if its a fortress hidden in the cave. Hidden stuff don't tend to have walls outside in the clear. Perhaps it could be some blocking rocks or a thick forest?
Or you could stick with the walls and say that the locals built them to prevent the undead from get out, but you should still get a door, or perhaps a rope hanging from the top (unclimbable of course).

Vlad, I am honoured that you, the person who puts a Half-Life bookcase in a medieval map that looks like total, boxy, blocky shit, has a quote from "me" in your signature. That makes you the fourth person to quote me, by the way (Jelly, Fadda, tehrilez, you). The only difference is that I actually never said the sentence I'm reading in your signature.

Kokris has made enough cheat maps to figure this out, surely.

This was definitely one of your better zings.

As for not liking you, I have no idea who you are/what you did, so it doesn't really matter to me.

*Cough*

14+

Woah, what an awesome topic! Who made that?

Edit: Question out of curiosity to all server admins: who still has this guy on the ban list?

Edit 2: That reminds me - you tried to claim credit for Oedipus' island1 by renaming it to msc_rivine, so I just can't help but ask: who did you steal this map from?

I see.

 

[Vlad]

Rofl, J-M my good friend.. I quoted my signature from DocMombo. And I'm actually semi happy to hear that you think this map is stolen, Which means that it's not that bad. But it's actually not stolen, Have you know; And the map is much changed. I've been working on it more and more, Giving special details to make the map more rich and complex.

So I'll do like you, And leech images from sites for lulz.

Don't believe me, Have a look for yourself, And J-M.. I only quoted Doc because what he said is pretty damn true, Stop being a dick; Even MiB isn't that goddamn bad as you. -.-

Any who, Pictures:

Thanks@Tull: I'm happy to be getting good feed back, I'll work to make it seem less canon, But yes; The temple was sealed because the vast amount of undead. The living realized they couldn't defeat them, So they had no choice but to seal the temple forever; A much easier way of winning.

I'd like to be getting more requests like that of Tull's, Please provide feed back! I need to know what areas I can up and make better; It'd be much appreciated.

 

[The Man In Black]

Vlad - Shut the hell up and get off the forums you 14 year old little prick.

Never claim that there are others worse than me..

 

[tehrilez]

It's looking pretty good.


I wasn't around during this kokris shit or whatever, don't worry, so you probably wont see any negative feedback from me. The past is past.

 

[HomestarR]

Never claim that there are others worse than me..

I can think of lots. They just aren't around anymore.


Kokris is actually trying to do something productive? I dunno, something seems a bit off. Don't let your guard down.

 

[Vlad]

Dude.. Really, I'm sorry but, I can deal with you more then I could J-M; He just down right annoys me. -.-

 

[PBarnum]

Kokris... You are not allowed to use the zing. That is J-M patented.


... Unless he wills others to use it.

 

[Vlad]

Eh? Oh my bad, I Didn't really know that you could steal images from sites and make them your own.

okay, i'll stop >_>
