Re: Code not working

I started a server correctly, and then I couldn't make another after I fixed a problem with the map. hmm, the only reason I can think of for that is that you didn't stop the previous server. You can try checking with activity monitor as I described above. To stop a server you should go to the termi...

Re: Water Death

Also, another thing a lot of mapmakers tend to do is make the Water non-lethal and drivethrough , but then give the the floor beneath the water a death tag . This avoids the odd feeling of bouncing off the surface of the water when you die, by letting you "sink" underwater, and then explo...

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010

I have a suggestion if you run out of map space and you have more people interested. Just give people say a 100 unit height allowance, then a tank can jump what, 15 units high? Then say at like 120 units heigh, make a mesh that is 0.1 units thick and make the bottom clear and the top of the mesh th...

It would be good if the map grid you posted earlier had world coords on it,that way people would know the coords of there tiles.

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010

Are we allowed to use textures and teleporters?
And I assume that the map will have jumping, richo and flags?

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010

I'm always ready to make a map, so count me in. :)
I think you need some sort of a layout grid so people can choose which section they want to make.
Because if all the entrees are maps designed for the center the ones placed on the outside may have cutoff features/inaccessible areas.

CubeB - CTF map

CubeB is a old style CTF map with 3 shots and ricochets.
There are several random flags scattered across the field but there are no GM or L flags.
Flags droped over pyramids return to the center.

Re: Best Map Software

That really depends on what operating system you'r on.
I use a mac and I design the base layout of my maps in iBZEdit, then I open it in TextWrangler and finish editing it.
And if I need a mesh I design it in Wings 3D which is a simple to use 3D modeling tool and can export .bzw files.

Re: Making object invisible

Invisible as in you can't see it on the screen or, you as in you can't see it on the radar?

When I start the above code block it's invisible on the radar but I can still see it on the screen.
If you want to make it invisible on the screen add this to the material:

I was on the Medieval Mayhem map taking screenshots but I couldn't get all the action into one screenshot. So I thought why not combine them all into one, and I came up with this.

SMD FFA

A Circuit board styled map with jumping, richo and good flags.
Most of the good flags have been upped, like TH has a little more range, and GM has 0.1 deg more turn angle.
