bst2 1v1 map (beta 3 update) (89 comments)

( Forum: QL)

Posted by ģbst @ 16:22 CST, 10 November 2010 - iMsg

Whoot... beta3...

Lots of changes/updates, too much to remember. But in brief:
- improved graphics
- "back" area expanded and new corridor made
- new teleporter at MH
- tons of tweaks to jumps, improved flow
- added another GA

I can't remember how much difference there is between this and beta 2, but its a lot (basic layout and items aren't really changed much though).

Things still to do:
- Improve lighting
- bit more clipping
- optimising
- textures, finish details
- some more tweaks to jumps ;)
(so nothing much really)

You may find the map a bit overloaded with "features" like trick jumps etc. I like it, but if people think its too much, I can remove things.

Still got no name... suggestions welcome xD

Hope you enjoy it and all (constructive) comments welcome!

I've had a play of your map, and I think you've made the beginnings of a really nice map :)

My first thought was, "armor in a box wtf!", but after thinking about it could work out well as a trap (it feels like a risky armor to take, more so than the red)

Its got really nice flow, and I think the slots looking over the red armor are great, as you can rail/spam from many different levels to negate the red.

My first thoughts are to try reducing the size of the red armor platform; it would make the platform a more dangerous and risky place to be; it currently feels safer than the lower ya on ztn; or you could lower the ceiling for splash damage rockets?

Since you seem to be going for a fast paced flow; id' make the lower part of the pillar which lets you jump to the ra thinner in order to "wallslide" around it into the portal; it would be a nice touch to charge from the rail ledge/tele exit down to the bottom level, slide around the pillar, and through the tele!

Well, those are my thoughts, and I hope your map gets completed soon and maybe one day into ql :)

It's already a 100 times better than focal point....

Focal point is not using the AEcell texture pack - it's using a recolored version of evillair's develeopment set.

if you have to go away from the aerowalk textureset/style ( =/ ) then this one actually looks quite good, if you keep it blueish and stay away from the orange :p

also don't put that one YA into the box, thats annoying imho :p

Aye, there won't be any orange. I had to convert that orange texture to a blue one in photoshop.

I was thought that about the YA aswell, I've put it just outside the box now.

I do like the aerowalk textures, for me they're still kind of new because I didn't play any Q3 aerowalk. But they don't seem to get a good reaction :/

Can you make the RA platform detail brush, so that the vis does not use it to cull off the RA? Atm you won't hear RA pickup in all the area from just below the platform and backward. Or even better, make it like Aerowalk, so that you can spam it from below (and it does not block the sound).

Thought I'd post some screenshots of what I've been doing, I've grungified it a bit, added some billboards (wanted to see what they looked like), and been experimenting with damage to the walls. Also I made small adjustments to things to improve the flow. Theres quite a few little things that need doing but its mostly cosmetic now I think.

Like the map :), the lower YA should not be directly under the mega though, seems too easy to get both items really quickly, maybe put YA next to grenade launcher. Otherwise really looks a tournament fitting map!

I like the idea but not sure what to do about the other YA in this screenshot: http://img602.imageshack.us/img602/7331/shot0649.jpg

I thought it'd be nice to have 3 armours but its proving hard to space them out. I'm thinking maybe change the YA at the MH with a GA instead. But I do really like the position for the YA you suggested as it makes that area feel useful. If anyones got any ideas please feel free to share, especially if you're a pro dueler ;)

Ran around in it for about 20 minutes.

Seems a bit small, but I'm not able to duel anyone on it, so it's hard to judge.

There is one teleporter that if you stand in front of it, you see a RL and the mega through the tele, but when you go through it, you end up at the level above it. Intentional or a mistake?

If you can remove the flame damage from the MH area, that would be nice. The less randomness, the better.

Map might be small enough where rail isn't needed, so it might work well as a non-rail map, but I'd need to duel a lot more on it to see :D

<< Comment #57 @ 10:35 CST, 2 December 2010 >>

By

ģbst - Reply to #56

Thanks for taking a look.

Yeah its pretty small, but meant to be like aerowalk/hektik/phrantik etc.

The tele is intentionally like that, otherwise theres not much point in it. In the last beta you couldn't see or fire through it, so I thought I'd see what people thought of it if you could.

Instead of a flame at mh, theres now an exposed wire with sparks coming out, it gives a reason why the lift is stuck. I can put this underneath the lift instead of on top so there would be no damage. Do you think its really that bad though? Because I kind of liked it :D

I thought about removing rg, but like you I can't decide. Personally I like the gun and enjoy watching people use it, so its hard to remove. But at the same time, from a more professional pov, its probably better without. But still not 100% sure.

<< Comment #59 @ 10:52 CST, 2 December 2010 >>

By

oneroomdisco - Reply to #57

I'd say keep the rail for now.

The wire thing works too, but yeah, basically competitive maps should have no randomness to it. Taking damage from lava and slime is understandable, but small things like that will only frustrate a player.

I thought that teleporter looking at the mega was quite a nice dynamic actually. At first I thought what you thought, but then realized you could shoot through it (much like Hektik's teleporters) at the person on mega and if you put them into a peculiar situation to can dive through come out above them and rocket down :P

I wish the teleporter was clearer though. Much like Hektik's old teleporters (I wish they were clear again as well)

Well if it gets into ql, then it shouldn't be too hard to make changes after people have played it for a bit, like what happened with battleforged. It shouldn't be in any map pools until a few months have passed anyway imo, so there should be enough time.

Yeah I could just texture it with really basic textures, and I have a Q3 server with CPMA already. I done it with my other map. The hardest part is getting at least two people to play at the same time. Its a bad idea for me to play it with someone (just doesn't work for various reasons, like, I'm comapritively useless vs most decent duelers, and I spend too much time thinking about the map instead of playing it properly, lol).

Really, really hope this map gets into QL someday.

If I were to make one more change, I would put a tele entrance here:

That would exit at the tele at the above right rl exit just below mega; imagine double jumping straight to mega!

Sure its a very quick path from the lower area to mega, but its one that can be easily defended agaisnt; you know exactly where they would be coming from, and if they did double jump right infront of you, that would mean some nice lg shots opening up :)

Also, just out of curiosity:

Why did you decide to make the RA grates smaller; it felt even more dangerous to take the RA with the larger grates for peak railing; the out of control player could negate the RA nicely (I suppose they still can, but its significantly harder now)

Why did you move the red-side YA from the sg area; it feels more dangerous to take as it is, next to rail, and allows a player in control on the RA/mega quadrant of the map to be able to attack much more easily. If it were at the shotgun, one could rail/spam rockets at the tele near mega or put nades at its exit on the upper level right next to you; at the very least there are options to the player setup to defend/take this ya in the old position; next to rail, it just feels undefendable.

I still think its a great map, really want to play some QL duels on it soon!

Zomg I fail :(

Thanks for the nice comments and taking the time to look at my map.

Nice idea with the tele, I've put it in the map and it works nice I think. Just need to tweak it a bit, but its working quite nice already.

I don't really like the back area of the map as much as the RA area and I am reworking it a bit at the moment. Its feels to me like its missing a jigsaw piece if you know what I mean.

The window at RA was just dictated by the aesthetics but I have been aware its not as good as before for a while now, just haven't got round to doing anything about it yet :D

Got some screenshots below including the new tele :)
You can see I'm redoing the back part so its just plain conctrete there, so its easy to change :>

Map looks really nice. Ran around it a bit and have to say that the layout is really refreshing. The onyl concerns I have are gameplay concerns which can't be tested yet.

Rail could be too dominant and running items could be too simple. (The second is also the case with aero/hektik so it might not be bad).

Good job.

Heh, I think I remember seeing you from the QuArK forums. Is that the editor you used to make for this map? If so, then awesome - it`s a great editor for sure. :)

I checked out this map, and I must say it`s impressive. The level of detail you put here is very good, and the scenery outside the windows adds to the atmosphere. The solid-style theme is applied well and the enhancements don`t seem to detract from anything.

I`m not sure about the blue flame on the elevator - it just looks rather odd to me the way it is positioned. Just a nitpick though. I would also use a custom texture for the exit sign rather than making it out of brushes - it will improve your FPS and it would look better as a 2D prop tbh - Industrial Accident does so with it`s "Think Safety" sign. Again this is a nitpick.

I can`t seem to think of much more to complain about, it`s pretty cool and I heard you got SyncError to look at them and obtain approval. So I`d like to congradulate you on that. I`m looking forward to the next version of this map, as well as your upcoming TDM map.

No I used quark to make some q2 maps and to make a q4 map. Its a nice editor, but I found it was hard to use when the map started to get complex (just clicking on a brush would take about 5 seconds to register). So all my q3/ql maps are made in Radiant 1.5. I've got zero radiant aswell but only used it to open ql maps so far. But it looks pretty good (works a bit different to radiant 1.5 though).

Thanks for the nice comments about how it looks :)
The blue flame is gone now and I've made a spark shader, and yeah I agree about the exit sign, theres a few other bits aswell which would be better as textures. I'm just experimenting with it atm though and will finalise it at all the end.

Thought I'd post some screenshots as a few things have changed since the last beta:

Something the shots don't show too well is, there is only one tele in mh room now (double jump to mh). The one which was on the platform in the doorway has been removed and turned into a one-way tele to the top, which is one level down and near YA/mid (can see it in the shots). From there you can get to anywhere on the map very fast :D

I think there will probably be a batch of new maps fairly soon, kind of like a second season if that makes sense. I know id wants to add more maps to ql asap. But I don't know any exact dates.

In a way I'm glad I had the chance to do a bit more on my maps though, I think they're better for it. But now I am pretty much out of ideas with my two duel maps (and think everyone else is too, lol). So they are basically finished and waiting now.

In the mean time, to give me something to do, I have entered the maverick mapping comp:

I have gone for a dm6 style of map for ffa ;D but I hope it will be nice in other game modes aswell, like dm6 is.

Same, wish this was in QL over Terminatria; was a lot more support and positive feedback regarding this map than Delirium and Terminatria combined (not that I think either are bad maps).
