Custom map discussions
Which maps would you like to see?
Remember that they have to have fog.
Check with EntEd to see if the map has fog.
It also helps that there is some cover since the Zombies can spot you a mile away!
Maps that would work
dust2_slg
dod_bouddha_b2
Maps that kinda work but have issues - too open or bad atmospherics
Flurry
Harrington
Highlander
**EDIT**
We used to have to make sure that maps had 20+ spawn points but I have since recoded the mod to add points it doesn't have

Re: Custom map discussions
Dust2 would be a bit of a s hit fight. Fun for a novelty perhaps but not as a permanent feature. Bouddha is pretty good. I still like Harrington lol but I understand it doesn't have the scary feel your going for, it's your game after all =]
I'll have a look at some maps when I get home. I'm on the back 9 now so shouldn't be too long =]

from another post...

where can i find a copy of "ented"
or could you send it to me via email?
so i can check some maps out. for you.
whatmee wrote:there was a program for hl1 maps called ripent, which gave you a text file, of entities.
and since most entities were serverside on maps, no download was necercery.
if i remember right.
so is there a version of ripent or other type program that does this for hl2 maps.
you can ad spawn points that way, and be server side only, meaning no download.

Re: Custom map discussions
Check for a env_fog_controller entity.
Harrington doesn't have one.

Re: Custom map discussions
Damn that fog entity threw a spanner in the works haha. I dont know how important it is so I must marked those that do have it and those that dont.
These maps have 20+ spawn points, numbers are next to them.
dod_hobofire – 32 -Fog
dod_anemia - 32 +Fog
dod_fuel_ctf_b2 - 32 -Fog
dod_stug - 28 +Fog
dod_flugplatz_source_b4 - 24 +Fog
dod_beachlanding - 22 -Fog
dod_forza_b3 –20 -Fog
dod_stalker_b2 - 20 -Fog
dod_colmar_ctf2 - 20 +Fog
dod_jocund_b4 20 +Fog
dod_newcastle_final 20 +Fog
i think you'd like flugplatz as its already dark and scary like
edit:
added dod_colmar_ctf2 good map, dark and eery also
added dod_jocund_b4
added dod_newcastle_final

Re: Custom map discussions
I think the fog entity has to be added before the maps loads - in other words, part of the bsp.
There *might* be a way to hack it via code.

Re: Custom map discussions
I can always try to decompile maps and add fog/spawn points then recompile.
easy process...... in theory
edit: I wouldn't mind bouddha, but I'd rather santos

Re: Custom map discussions
I should mention, that l3eeron is our expert mapper!
His attention to detail is legendary!
Recompiling would be one possibility, but it would need a different name!

Re: Custom map discussions
You can edit/add/remove point based entities using EntEd without recompiling.

Re: Custom map discussions
As a general comment, I would love more maps. I like the existing maps, but more might be nice, just to spice things up.
Thanks for thinking of us, Dog.

Re: Custom map discussions
so therefore it is server side. only the map on server needs changing, cose that states whats happining.Stevo wrote:You can edit/add/remove point based entities using EntEd without recompiling.
then you would be able to add the fog entity, and more spawns?
is that correct, same as using ripent on HL1.
