W.A.R. (v0.1)

Post by **trepan** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 2:02 pm

I got another new map for yaz, War Across River. I've
attached a screenie to this message, and it's running on:
imajica.dyndns.org:2001 (3 vs. 3 CTF style.)

1. If you fall in the river, you will die (hidden 100km SW)
2. There is a hidden tight-rope.
3. Touched up a bit for enhancer radar.
4. The screenie was taken with more complex trees.
5. It's definitely not finished. I plan on adding some better
obstacles, making some tunnels, localizing the trees, etc...

I've also written a little patch to BZFS that changes the
way that spawn locations are selected. If you throw in the
'-sc' option for CTF, spawns are always made within a half
world distance of your team's base. Basically, you'll always
spawn on your side of the map. I don't want anyone getting
across the river without earning it.

Enjoy.

P.S. The patch should work for center and diagonally
separated maps (keeps you in your half or corner
respectively.)

P.P.S. Lasers turned out to be a lousy way to do a river...
They consume to much CPU time, and they don't allow for
maps without ricochet.

As far as I know, saving from in the game won't save the world weapons.

README.TXT file if your gonna try this
map.

I'll leave my WAR v0.5 server up for a couple of days.
You can just do a "Save Map" from there.

I forgot to mention, at a minimum (if you want the river
world weapon to work), you need to set the following
BZDB variables:

/set _shockAdLife 0.5
/set _shockInRadius 99999
/set _shockOutRadius 100000

And to make sure that THief can't jump across:

/set _thiefVelAd 1.5

I also suggest (because of the high block coverage):

/set _maxLOD 1

It's been noticed then when there were more then 6
or 7 people playing this map on bzgirl's server, the
lag was high. It's weird too, my FPS shows 100+ and
yet it feels laggy. Not just that flag pickups take extra
long, but that while I'm turning it's choppy. I wouldn't
have though that network lag would cause that effect.

If anyone wants, I'll make a version that doesn't require
the world weapons. I'll just make the river deeper so that
you can't jump out. I could make a tunnel so you'd have
to travel a long way if you fell in... whatever.

My idea is :
Will be more challenge if you can pass the river and have a world weapon(laser/rico) shooting inside the river.
Laser One shoot .....................death everyone in the river
Rico...jump between one shot to another

this is a very clean and artistic map i like this one for CTF

rob1n · Post by **rob1n** » Mon May 10, 2004 11:44 pm

is this map up on any server anymore?

Post by **trepan** » Thu May 13, 2004 7:22 pm

not that I know of. It tended to get
very jerky when 6 or more players
joined. never did figure out exactly
why...

OO7:
Please don't post to topics that have been dormant for almost 2 years.

P.S. I added that ability in 2.0.0, which had not
been released at the time of blast's comment.
