EVAD Project (Assault, DM, and KH map)

Please post your thoughts on:
[Assault Map] EVAD Project

This is a simple assault map with one objective and a few turrets, nothing to worry about. You need a brand new SVN for it to work correctly. It uses new rotating doors code, fixed assault code, and new features in the laser code.

Storyline

Code: Select all

Evad Project:
Artificial Intelligence, Satallite Stationed.


Men's Liberty Union terrorists have gained access to the EVAD Project satellite, which is in orbit around the Red Planet for preliminary testing before placement in Earth orbit. It is believed that the MLU operatives are in search of the research data from the illegal projects that Akihiko Wakahisa and Meinrad Traugott carried out.

Akihiko Wakahisa perfected a type of artificial intelligence as part of his attempt to create a perfect wife of a sort for himself. Meinrad Traugott experimented with creating more docile human females as part of a parallel research effort. Both projects were successful. Both were discovered by our coalition government before the data could be revealed to the men of the world. The two culprits with found guilty of crimes against humanity, decency, and of the capital crime of offenses against womanhood. Both were executed. The data, so as not to fall into the hands of the unjust and small minded, was placed on the newly commissioned EVAD Project satellite (which is not linked to any network, for security reasons).

Akihiko Wakahisa's artificial intelligence programs were re-purposed for use in the Automatic Governance Program (A.G.P.) which was then renamed to the EVAD Project. The modification was done by a former hacker employed by our coalition government who goes by the nickname "Kryplus".

We must retrieve the memory chips that the research data is held on. They are located in the central core of the satellite computer. This must be done before the Men's Liberty Union operatives access the data themselves and transmit the information. Other than the MLU terrorists, little opposition should be met: the satellite is equipped with a few turrets (again, for security purposes) which should be taken out easily with the long range rifles you have been equipped with. Enter the satellite through one of the top auxiliary exits: these are small access shafts which can be cleared with a single grenade.



Enjoy. Give feedback.

this map is so awesome its my personally favourite up to now
but you should make signposts (pictures with the map and a red point [YOU ARE HERE!] ) and split the number of lasers in the quadratic room by 2 because
my pc lags on lowest settings with a processor of 2*2600+ (5200)

LOL an assault map with only one objective and you need more then five minutes to get to that objective IF you survive all the traps.. how can you call that awesome? Its just the usual gameplay lacking stuff from him..
Maybe he should try to do SINGLE PLAYER maps..

I said it was a simple map. What more do you want from a simple assault map: it has one objective (thus the simplest possible assault map). Many people complained in the past that my maps are too complex... so for my first assault map I made a _simple_ one.

He thinks it's good perhaps because he is skillfull enough to beat the few traps and the turrets. You perhaps can't get past the first hallway (hint: grenade or laser)?

You get sixty min to do this all.
If you can't do it in that amount of time then you need a team to help you certainly.

Why one objective? Because if you're playing on a good team then you will beable to breeze through the map in a few min because it is simple and easy; more than one objective would make it far too easy.

You can play this map singleplayer if you wish though, so I did make a single player AND multi player map. You have the choice here: choice is good in _this_ instance (of a game). Choice is bad in other instances (of say, murdering one's own child).

Please, however, make an assault map of your own and show us how it's done.
Consider using the new egyptian textures. This way we can have an egyptian map that is also an assault map included in nexuiz. (Please).

As for the single player idea: it would be nice if all mappers chipped in to help make a set of race maps in gameplay style of Div0' (and others)s Test(number) series of portal and trickjump inspired maps. That could be a campaign in the "singleplayer" mode of nexuiz (aswell as usable as race maps in multi ofcourse).

It would be a good way to showcase all the entities and things that are capable in nexuiz.

Another idea is to have a gameplay modifier for assault: g_assault_attack_only and g_assault_defend_only , this way in a campaign mode you could set one of those and say have a campaign of just attacking, interspersed with some purely defence rounds.

Nexuiz is a great platform rignt now to making all your ideas and dreams come true with the only expenditure being time. It's so much more versitile then other games: we have dm, ctf,dom (normal in games), and assault, but also have race and now nexball!. This is the power of opensource and it's unending development cycle .

You asked for feedback. esteel gave you that. Or did you mean 'only positive feedback please'?

WTF? I know you are a strange one.. but this is just too funny.. How should i ever take you serious?

I like responding to feedback and reading it. If you are offended that I responded then that is your problem.

The map exists, that cannot be denied. I think you can take the map serious as it is not just a screenshot. You can go in and walk around and get crushed by the first trap set and such.

What does being against women aborting their children have to do with being taken "serious"? Choice is good, unless it's murder of one's children. I just don't want to be misunderstood. If I just said "choice is good" someone could then be like "He's Pro-Choice!", that would be terrible.

Anyway, could you please make an assault map. I threw my card into the hat, now it's your turn. We could make this a trend and end up with many assault maps from many people.

What are your opinions or Hans Reiser btw?

[ai]

My point was that you got feedback as you wished for, however, you responded in a hostile way bashing and basically saying 'if you cannot make better maps then shut up'. That's not the kind of 'response' people would expect. I didn't get offended, on the contrary, it looked like you did.

And, to another point. What the hell are you on about. This is a map review category and somehow you managed to bring up weird topics (choice thing, murdering kids, abortion etc.) with only just a few responses.
This is a game forum, and probably no one was even thinking of your personal views. Of course, now they will.

My god, here we go again...

PS. If he starts ramble on again about this in his next post I suggest banning him right then before it gets out of hand again. So, my suggestion is: DO NOT bring up that shit again or you WILL YET AGAIN be banned. Damnit, learn your lesson. Stupid kid/cockroach.

[tundramagi]

I don't care if that is not the kind of response people would expect. Why did you think I would care? Esteel wouldn't respond in any other way regardless of the map. I'm glad he responded however, atleast it's something . What did you think of the map? Will you consider making an assault map?

I said "make your own map" because I would like more assault maps to be created. They are fairly fun to play.. but we only have three: assault, assault2 (the frozen bubble map), and
this one. More would be nice.

I'm not a young ram nor a cockroach. Why do you call me a cockroach (please explain)? Are you suggesting that being against abortion == should be banned. Maybe I should call up the Pope on this one and query his opinion of this place and it's people.

I didn't know 22 == child. Too young to have the capability produce children == child, 22 does not equal child.
