Merry xmas!
Finally I have the map ready for an 'early beta release'
Hopefully you won't find gameplay too similar to the other greatwalls, after some testing I came to the conclusion that it shouldn't be.
Everything released under the GPL_v2, some textures from www.burningwell.org. (according to the site, you are free to use them as you wish) Torch and terrain made in Blender. BGM music by SC0RP; thanks for your awesome work, once again!

Just some quick screens:

Very nice. Actually superb map.

The only problem I found is the clipping. It seems you can go around the lava lake going on the side of the hills, but because of clipping you fall down. And there is no way how to jump out of lava lake.

You made camping tower useful. The best way to remove turrets is with nex. But I wonder how the gameplay goes if the camping tower will be taken over by good nexer. Great, that you didn't place cells and nex there and you need to go for a walk to take it.

And of course, sc0rp music rocks.

Great job so far FruitieX.

The soundtrack from Scorp is great, like usual. Big Thumbs up at the Snipertower, it was a great idea and it's now useful too Oh and you can't see the enemy base, that's good too. Some things I would change:

There are 2 mega armors near the base. Please remove this one between the trees:



You could add ~6 small armor packs there.

You added one mega armor on the greatwall, but I would like to see a 2nd one at the other site:



Maybe between the green trees?

Then there is not much ammo for e.g. the nex (electro, crylink, hlac). The way under the greatwall could be filled with some ammo packs and maybe small heahlt packs, don't you think so?



Anyway, overall a very good map. Didn't play any game on it yet. Only thing which looks a bit strange are the trees around the map, but this shouldn't be such a big problem.

Ok, I fixed the clips so you can't move on the side of the wall anymore (near the lava), and moved/added some items as Fisume suggested. See first post for new download link.

Edit: ANOTHER release, fixed a clipping problem mentioned by SC0RP. I guess nobody has yet put it on a server, so whatever :p

Awsome looking map!

Awesome.

Are those missing textures?




I found that e.g. "fog 0.01 1 1 1" gives a nice "fresh morning" feel to this map.

probably you already fixed it ^.^

ohhh, this map is awesome best greatwall version !!! and the soundtrack is nice too!

good work FruitieX

You might want to test your map with a current svn checkout.. the physics were changed slightly and some people complained its not harder to cross the lava via jumppads. I have not yet had time to test this.

The problems occur mostly when you try to alter your trajectory left or right. I'd say just boost the jump pads power a little.

Indeed. We need more maps like this one. Thumbs up

I have a new version coming soon, but I can't seem to get rid of the extremely blurred shadows on the terrain... (even if i split it up into many "objects" in blender, q3map2 will complain the surfaces are too big and it'll increase the lightgrid size)

Isnt there a way around this by using custom lightmaps or something? Just a guess.

Can anyone confirm? Maybe that texture was added into svn, and was not present in 2.4.2?


On another note, I've fixed the lightmap problems with help from tZork, and fixed all problems reported here and on irc, so a new beta is coming soon...
(Still beta, because I have some things to fix before the first release. Eventually I'll add 3D trees, better grass, better mountain textures and so on, mostly visual stuff)

ok yeah i use 2.4.2 , because of that.
but actually 1 or 2 jumppads got textures

Is it the red or blue side jumppads that lack a texture?

all 4 jumppads on the red side

Well it could also be an broken shader file in one of your installed custom maps..

Awesome but the trees are 2d...maybe it will be nice to have 3d models like ons-reborn

Yeah, but at 10 fps the game is not very playable.

Beta 2 has been released!

Get it while it's hot:
http://www.hrfdesign.com/crap/greatwall ... d_b2r2.pk3

Sorry for the huge filesize (30mb), everything is made out of custom textures except for the bunker and the tower. They are all under the GPL v2 so feel free to use them!

Source package with tga textures and lightmaps, .blend files of the models and half of the map: (that's how I edit it, then copy & paste, flip it 180 degrees and move it into place)
http://www.hrfdesign.com/crap/greatwall ... source.zip

EDIT: (r2) Fixed a minor bug that might cause shader interference with old versions. That does not change the sources, so that package remains r1.

hm.. this version is pretty shiny!
but if i want to bunnyhop into the bunker (if i go out too) the flames hurt me.

wtf
Be more careful?

i just found out that i get hurt too if i go out without moving to left or right
there you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gngZ0ZSFbEg
watch the HP , if i go out i lose 10 HP and you can see i don't really hit the flames


the jumppads textures are still missing
esteel could be right

WTF! This does not happen to me on either sides, at least when playing locally. If someone else finds this, please post!

Edit: Are you sure you have the latest version? Try removing the old ones, even though those should not cause any problems.

Edit2: Was that played locally or on a server? If on a server, which, and did it have the latest version (v2r1 or v2r2)?

Try moving all pk3's in your data folder into the dlcache folder. See if that fixes it.
