Ruud033 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Sure, just poke me on IRC / TS3 / Skype (if i can get your username).But that's interesting, that PT thing, that means we don't need to have specific spots for a PT.. I smell possiblities. Meh, I just DL'ed TS and my Skype messes up all the time. So ok, IRC LOL, just don't buy vehicles from the 'external' PT. It works, but then you'll be away from base Can we make it so that this volume refers not to the standard PT camera, but to a new PT camera with a custom 3rd box in the sky? That'd be cool.. I also wonder if it's possible to create custom buttons etc then, we would have a complete custom PT menu then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Arts Staff DaKuja Posted May 7, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 7, 2015 Today i played Coastal two times and its not an bad idea who stands behind, Nod has an ridiculously huge advantage, with players it is impossible to take Nod down, only the whole Nod Team falling asleep x) Sure its Alpha, maby this map needs some Path Notes where Bots in Skirmishes fights in the Midfield for some action and pain (for GDI), with the MRLS it is easy to kill all 3 Obis without get hit (nerf MRLS!) also its fun to sneak from the HoverBeach Side as Inf along the whole Basewall under the masses of Turrets, trying to sneak into the PP and Stuff. Hope this Map get better and better, with more good ideas and may more fun keep it up! Greez. DaKuja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted May 7, 2015 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 7, 2015 yeah, reason why there will be the overload system Also, Nod's main huge disadvantage is their large... stretched base. GDI actually had their base at strategic points with 2 choke points as entrance. Of course, this all can be proved when we have a huge set of players playing in this map for real. 5vs5 would do fine maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted May 7, 2015 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 7, 2015 Oh God... Regarding sx's problem, I just remembered that I play on medium settings, and I set one instance to medium detail and another to high to save memory for lower specs. It is obvious that sx was looking at the 'High Detail' grass which did not show up for me since I play on medium settings....

Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted May 13, 2015 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) News Update : I have let a performance hit issue slip away, so Ruud's map build was cancelled. It was not in vain however. The map lighting build is now decreased after following his advise. Download : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yEH_ ... sp=sharing 0.0.5 will include : - Removed 2 silos on the Nod base, added one silo in the water cavern, GDI favored, but Nod can get it if they want - Added aircraft, tweaked blocking volumes so Aircrafts won't get away from the map. Aircrafts can get to the infantry path, but buildings can be used as cover and refill. -Added Rocket Emplacements on Nod Barracks as Aircraft counter. Currently they can't be manned by Nod. Will tweak later - Added overload function on one destroyed PP. GDI needs to touch the MCT inside to mildly damage ALL turrets, PP, and SAM sites. Nod can immediately restabilize the power by touching the MCT themselves. The power will go back to normal in a few seconds if Nod fails to recapture the MCT. Regardless, GDI can only use the switch every one minute. This is noted by the pole that glows green when stable, but glows red when unstable... - Added experimental weather system as a showcase. Map will shift from sunny to rain in about 8 minutes. During the rain, light will decrease, and fog will thicken about 50x, hampering visibility, but providing GDI clear field as Obelisks won't be operable during the fog (it lights up). Note that sky doesn't get dark if you turn off post-processing - Added PTs for both GDI and Nod in the barracks. Nod's PT is inside the capture Barracks (the one with Nod flag and ramps) by the MCT spot, but the heat of the room will eat up health mildly and cause sight disorientation. GDI's PTs are at the similar place as usual, except two is inoperable - Added Hangar on top of the hill filled with Nod vehicles, but guarded by 2 GDI guard towers that some GDI survivors SOMEHOW managed deploy inside - Added anti-airs on bases. Obelisks only receives 2 SAM since the Obys are anti-air themselves in this game - Decreased number of Nod Turrets, now with 400 health - Changes LOD for several destroyed buildings. Their lights no longer glow except for Barracks. - Fixed blocking volume. Destroyed Tiberium Refinery behind the wires is no longer accessible - Added one-way passage behind PP near the field entrance for Nod tanks shorcut - Move the Strip to the edge of the wall - Added AGT behind WF - Expanded the fortress to the field entrance, but removes unused area on the back. A large space next to Hand of Nod is reserved for a special building that will spawn Kane when destroyed - Slightly tweaks fluid actor, now water wave effect is not as drastic as before - Slightly moves Obelisks - Less Lightmap Resolution for destroyed buildings. Lighting build without Lightmass now takes 17 minutes as opposed to previous 1 hour - Added Rx_Game as default game, hopefully will fix time limit reseting from infinity to 35 minutes All addition stated in Pre-0.0.6 is added to 0.0.5 Edited May 16, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryz Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just tested it a bit the hovercraft is fun. Are you looking for feedback already concerning bugs? I noticed that the hovercraft will sink if you try to get out off it to capture the silo in the tunnel Also the obelisks charge if you walk outside the GDI base past a wall. They can't see you nor hit, but they seam to still charge. Good work, still have to check a lot more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline! Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 played coastal sm... not liking it, first a lot of bugs, on the infantry path there are a lot of places where you can just get stuck in pits. the bots on gid were able to buy orcas and fly around? i thought this was a non flying map. nod base is to easy to attack and way to wide spread, we went from too many turrets to no turrets I like the idea of the small, but I think you just need tot ake your original Coastal and make it smaller something between the size of the original and current one. Keep the flying units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted May 27, 2015 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 27, 2015 I was about to add coastal turrets on their base and a few turrets to support their base, but probably got lost in the last crash. Obviously Nod is way too defenseless against a hover now Will try fixing Inf Path's collision And I don't know about flying. It feels compact enough you don't actually need to fly, except through the river. Gonna try to scale down the original map, but might take more time to realign everything back to normal....

Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted June 1, 2015 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted June 1, 2015 Okay, so taking Alkaline's suggestion, I scaled down the X and Y to 3/4 the size of original. As the result, I have destroyed every single rock and foliage, and restructured Nod base completely LET US BREAK COASTAL!! Today's progress -Restructure the Nod base, now your Hovercraft can enter the base from behind as well, but beware the giant Turrets that has massive health and shells as painful as Mobile Artillery's own -Lesser destroyed building. Both destroyed HoNs are have their own cover function. -Moved Ref side by side with Nod Tiberium Silo -Added Rare spawn point on Infantry path for GDI.

Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted August 30, 2015 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted August 30, 2015 Coastal Small Update : - Removed Obelisks, replacing them with energy-shielded 'OmniTurrets' that are basically indestructible along with barriers that allows only Nod side to get their tanks to through the field - Creates a cinematic sequence where a C130 is downed by A10 and crashed above the barrier, and causes rockslide that drops the cliff to the barriers, opening path for GDI tanks to mount assault - Adds turrets on the entrance beach along with a buried Hand of Nod for sniper and rockets vantage points. Adds cover for PP so GDI can't shell it with Hovercraft from the first beach - Adds barriers on GDI hovercraft spot so it cannot go to the field - (Also applies for Coastal's big version) Tweaks the Hovercraft so it doesn't sink when the driver goes out - Adds blocking volume to ensure that no one can bypass the gaps on the rocks and shoot from below the landscape through gaps in Hovercraft's path - Adds more Guard Towers to compensate GDI's further disadvantages - Moves the rock on GDI entrance a bit forward so GDI cannot shell the turrets and so Nod cannot shell GDI's Guard Towers easily The C130 sequence sample EDIT : Download zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yEH_ ... sp=sharing EDIT 2 : Download config https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yEH_ ... sp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted March 15, 2016 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted March 15, 2016 Alright, I'm tweaking the Small version for a few now. I decided to remove the Obelisk and the indestructible barrier turrets and placed normal turrets instead. I also made the cliff where the Obelisks were as another path for infiltration for GDI's side towards Nod refinery By nerfing Nod's biggest advantage in Coastal and adding more disadvantage, I also introduced new advantage that becomes quite a double-edged sword : Vehicle Factory What these 'Factory' does is spawning a type of vehicle, and when (and only when) the vehicle is destroyed, another will spawn shortly. The associated vehicles can be stolen by enemies, and cannot be replaced until destroyed. So it has to be constantly guarded. I made it as a vehicle bay, which creates a vehicle underground and lift it up once it spawns As for now, I'll leave it that way. I haven't made any new build yet. And I don't intend to until I can solve that reference problem, which I have absolutely no idea what Ruud meant when he said that when he removed my maps from the server. Some guidance or screenshot would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryz Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Good to see you working on this and other stuff Handepsilon. You know what might be a really cool idea: - Both teams have the new vehiclebays and can spawn a certain typ of vehicles - Airstrip is offline due anti-air defence and can only be 'working' again when the enemy AA is destroyed - Not sure what reason I can think of for the WF to be offline, but we can come up with something The teams get full access to their vehicles when the AA defence (or whatever is preventing GDI from using the WF) are down.
