I am working on a new map, however there is an issue. This will be my first map where I will use mesh objects, so im rather new to using meshes. I made a BEAUTIFUL (or so i think) arcway that is 60 units wide and 60 units tall. It is imported into the map from an external map file useing inclued, an...

some one could take my spot too (its only one square) or leave it blank.

i kinda got caught up in other things (work school etc)

I actually tried running that map in a 2.99 build. but it didn't work.

so... who won?

I like the first one.

I think the map is great.

i would like 1 square somewhere in the middleish

just one

i really good at shooting myself with guided missile

don't ask how

i just do

if we help someone else with their map, can we make our own too?

or does that violate the one map per person rule

does this include lua?

ps 2nd mac build does not work on my 17 in intel imac OSX Tiger

I signed up, however, my schedule is very unpredictable (i am most likely not going to be available on the 24th)

I might not be able to make it to most matches, however, please keep me posted, I would be glad to come if I can.


I also tried the map (i like the world weapon) I think it should do well

I'm not quit sure what lua can do or how it works?

Is is easy to write scripts?
Is is simple like java script? or complex like c++?
Is their any documentation?

i am not sure if this has been said yet, but I have run into a place where it would be nice to apply 2 materials to an object at the same time. for example I have a wall the material on the wall has transparent patches I want a moving texture of fluid or something in the patches it would be nice to ...

I have a map in progress.. would it be eligible for the first competition?

Also when this post is updated it will move itself to the top of the list, so don't worry about it getting burried

after 1 year, my first 101!!

mahem1's laser overkill map

this sounds like a good idea. A lot like the triangle map competition that i made a few months ago. I do however do not like the map secrecy. Testing online is mandatory. But not to worry, people usually don't advertise their map until they are done with it. why don't you give out the requirements f...

might as well have a rear view display also

This is a really good one.

btw,, how did you do the teles that send me underground?

I, on the contrary, have only played on the ctf, and it is a very nice map.

good job

Yes It is possible to code meshes in a text editor,
however it is very very difficult (but I have done it )

allowing tele and base properties to be applied just like materials would be very nice

I think this would be an interesting style of play, and that its a good idea.

my improvements would be...

1 the ball has to be captured like a flag
2 the opposing team can shoot (non of this tackling stuff)
3 the "ball" bullet would be sparkly

All of this looks good, but I am a little concerned...

would it be possible to make these vertical teles and bases without having to leave the text editor..

maybe, being able to apply base properties to the top of an arc, or bottom of a cone etc..

oh, but still....

can lua be used to make custom flags?
multi hit shield?

Now if only there were a flag that made a bubble shield like the icon....
I have been yelled out of this idea too many times
