  • April fools, mikee made a map people might actually want to play!


    Seriously great work here, you cut back on the sinisterness but made the clouds go 200mph LOL.

    The artwork is great, the dragons that fire lasers is LOL and the routes are pretty good. Even the music is decent!

    I made the dragons and trees in blender and the music on my midi keyboard and ZynAddSubFX :) Everything is GPL ofcourse.

    Also one can uncomment the 2 lines in the mapinfo and DL this pack to have midevalflag I made a few weeks back (GPL ofcourse):

  • This is... actually pretty good.

    Runs well, has a nice different (albeit retro) look, and has some interesting areas to run around in.

    The clouds though... they are insanely distracting. You might want to change that shader to slow them down.

    I experimented to find the optimal speed for the clouds, and that is as they are.

    It wouldn't evoke anime/dragonball-Z/japan/fightingfightingfighting (in heaven) if they were slow.

  • Well if anyone else is curious, I changed my 'scripts/castlebunkerwhiteclouds.shader'

    replacing
    Code: Select all
    tcMod scroll 1 1

    with
    Code: Select all
    tcMod scroll 0 0.01


    Much more soothing to me.

  • Does everyone see the skybox correctly: there are clounds, but also green mountains etc. Someone said on NN that "the black and white skybox looks good"... it shouldn't be black. So what does it look like for you, did I forget to include something?

    Well it's not a remake or anything, it's an attempt at honesty.
    Whenever anyone saw greatwall as a votable map they voted for it thinking it would be a great wall of china map. That was a lie.

    This one is truthful :)

    It's a mixture. The Tori (red arches), the dojos, and the cherry trees are japanese. The wall, and the "temples of heaven" are more from china I guess...

    The fast moving clouds are japanes.
    The mountains are more chinese.
    The lava is ... from germany because really it's melted iron.

  • Someone needs to remaster this map. Remove dragon bullshit and completely redesing both flag areas. And remove (most) of the lava. Then it might actually make a nice map.

    The .map is right there, it's GPL, stop demanding that other people do what you want. If you want a greatestwall_easy for alpha who's so skilled he can't stop himself from falling into the lava then you make it.

    All you do is demand that other people do what you want them to do (I bet if you got your master centralized auth server (and it was mandatory) you'd ban anyone who didn't obey from it). You never do those things yourself.

    Actually, I'm with tundra on this one. If there's something you want to change then you have the ability to do that. One shouldn't expect others to do the work for oneself.

    Being an "ultra skilled player" alpha believes he is _above_ doing any work: his mere presence in the nexuiz 'community' is his contribution!

    So looks like alpha = stef?
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

    I am simply not into mapping. And I do not demand anything, that was just my opinion/idea.

    Why do you call the dragon decorations I modeled in blender "bullshit". You can go fsck yourself alpha. To hell.

    You're not into doing _anything_. How about you do something. Make something for the peeps here.

    I knew seems I didn't include a sufficent number of copies of the GPL in the pk3. :)
    In all the directories you will see a file called "COPYING" (it is all caps... tradition) and "gpl.txt".
    The dragons are released under the GPL. You don't need to ask if you can use them, though if they are compiled in then the map that is using them in compiled-into-map form needs to be released under GPL aswell IIRC.

    Yes, the same license nexuiz is under: you can use and modify the dragons and such :)
