[DM] cores

[lda17h]

Just a quick hack that mind remind the one or other of a UT99 map. It is in no way faithful to the original though. Just the general idea is the same..

EDIT: I made a youtube movie showcasing the gameplay on the map a bit. It shows all areas..

EDIT: Updated the pk3 with radar and missing script

EDIT: Updated the pk3 to new version (added detail work)
EDIT: Updated the pk3 to new version (added detail work, incorporated samual's comments)
EDIT: Updated the pk3 with a sound entity for the central core (what 50hz hum and a guitar multi fx board can do for you )
EDIT: New release (v1r7) with a bug fix (ceiling bug).. I hope everything's allright now with this package..

BTW: I need some editing help: The beams are endcaps with a shader that has

Code: Select all

surfaceparm nonsolid

Some projectiles seem to be able to go through. Players can go through them without problems, too.. But some projectiles are stopped by it. Basically everything except rockets from rocket launcher (but not from mortar) and fireball.. Nex, electro, mortar etc, cannot go through the beams. Which is a pity. Is there another surfaceparm i must set? Or is there an entity key which i can use to make the beams truly non solid?

DM-Fractal?

Ok, replaced the cylinders/endcaps with 8-sided brushes. Looks just as good and no more problems with projectiles. I also added some ladders and a connection from the shield to the fireball. The lighting there is intentionally dark as these are not your usual ways through the map..

DM-Fractal?

Well, i was really thinking more of Liandri Central Core But fractal shares some properties, too, i guess..

Liandri is probably my favourite map in UT, and this is deinitely not like it. More like fractal

Well you can say what you want. Liandri was my inspiration. I worked from memory, couldn't get the outer pathways like liandri without a reference and then just worked the thing in new ways from there. Heh, i just watched a video showing liandri and yeah, it is totally different It just shares the thing in the middle (liandri had an elevator, i have a jumppad). The walkways around the central core and having some stuff outside of the central core area.. But that's also where the similarities end.. Have to take a look at fractal, too..

Deck and Liandri are probably my favorites.. And Morpheus We already had deck and morpheus "remakes", so i wanted to create something that shares the kind of vertical action you could get in liandri..

Just played it.
It's a pretty vertical map, so I don't think it's playable because of that detail alone.

offhand, I can't think of any successful maps with a vertical layout

Aggressor!, well to a degree anyway.
