TheDeadlyWolf Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Well guys, the map is nearly done, but I've still go some tweaks to do - Especially GDI harvester pathing : ( DoctorAnubis has been great with the detail and improvements to my base design, he should be, as he's got experience from making a fantastic campaign for Left 4 Dead 2 - He's updating the campaign, so there's no point for me pasting the link : D P.S. Have fun finding all my Easter Eggs on Release: D Edit: Near enough Done : ) Edited March 1, 2016 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundShades Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 At first, I thought "this is just 'Whiteout' with advanced defenses"... ...but then, I remembered that Whiteout has basically become entirely different, with infantry paths and the lack of base defenses, that it can be different enough. Can't wait to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruud's map has a lot of color in it, its darker due to the environment he created. The color is there (Look at the alien ship for example) You map is bright(Which is good) but everything is gray of color (Except for some of the buildings). If you are going for a rocky map that's fine. But think about some foliage, terrain material changes or some lights to break up the Grayness. Some more examples: Boxes, change in sky, some construction materials or even a tiberium crystal from a rock would break up the grayness aswell. The maps looks solid though. Good luck!

Ryz Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hope someone can help you with the Kismet, nice idea! Maybe you could make it so it only works once in a timespan of like 10 min.

Ruud033 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The kismet will be easy to work out if @RypeL finishes the implementation. The advance base defense toggle system is in the works.. It'll be added in the next patch I believe. Gotta ask RypeL himself to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it for both bases or only to turn off the power on Nods side? The current idea is that when a team captures this terminal, they have to hold it for 5/10mins and the Base defence will shut off for 2 minutes This is Due to a signal being sent to an uplink that EMPs the Base Defence Temporally : ) Is there anyway to change the name of this MCT in kismet?

Redline Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 2 minutes is wayyyyy too long. I would say like 30-45 seconds max. Something you capture and then in 2 minutes it activates and has a cooldown of 5-10 mins for your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundShades Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 2 minutes is wayyyyy too long. I would say like 30-45 seconds max. Something you capture and then in 2 minutes it activates and has a cooldown of 5-10 mins for your team. I agree mostly. If you capture it fresh, it should give you the effect in 3 minutes to encourage a suicide-grab just for comeback sake, and then reproduce the effect in another 4 minutes. Also agree on the timer being 45 seconds, that is enough to send what you have in for an attack, and either dedicate it or roll it on back before the base defenses wake up. If you can, make some sort of EVA Text warning 6 seconds when it is about to go off, and 6 seconds when it is about to go on. Also, consider making the script "deactivate the base defense for the enemy team", and "activate the base defense for the allied team". That way, holding this as a team missing a powerplant, provides occasional short usage of the base defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I released one of the earlier versions, I did a minimap... However it came out very darkish and had trouble lining it up. I followed Kenz's guide - Apart from the tunnels, as that would be awkward - water caves and then the normal tunnel as well.

TheDeadlyWolf Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Finishing off and finalizing Hourglass now, Thx to Rypel and Ruud with the Disable Base Defences script Got about 5 check-lists to do : ) And work out the final timings for the Uplink that disables AGT/OBI P.S. The Division is Epic Edit: The current timings for Uplink Capture Silo Hold for 3 Minutes Base Defence Disabled for 60 seconds + The Satellite dish spins round Hold for a further 5 minutes Base Defence Disabled for 60 seconds + The Satellite dish spins round ... However, every time you recapture the Silo in resets : D So hold for 3 minutes etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. Don't forget this is my first map on the SDK, and my first official map, however I can ensure you, that I have learnt from my mistakes, and from now on, I'll be using the landscape mode - This includes my current new map CnC-Stronghold (that's all you're getting) On the other hand, the next map after Hourglass, will be Glacier Flying, Get the Repair Facility working boys : D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDeadlyWolf Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Are you fucking Serious? All it took was a BIG ROCK...Why Didn't I do that from the start What a simple Fix, Typical So GDI Harvester 1) Perfect Rotation with Reversing to go down same Path or 2) Reverses onto the rock a tiny bit, and almost instantly fixes itself : ) And drives back down the path However the reversing is a pain in the back side, yet they seem pretty even compared to one another... 3 Checks to Go : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadlyWolf Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well, I've done the current Notification for the Uplink, I can add a sound at a later stage if needed, very Easily Nod = Red Mini Beam GDI = Yellow Mini Beam I was originally planning for the beam to go into outer space, yet the ideal beam for this, goes downwards instead : ( However AS you may already be aware, there is a bug within the script atm For Example, You are Nod 1) You capture Middle 2) 3 minutes later the base defence is disabled 3) If the building isn't destroyed within that time gap, the building will be reset to full health On the Other Hand 3) If you destroy the Base Defence, WELL DONE 4) 5 minutes later and the next Uplink initiates 5) During the minute, Nothing will be affected 6) After the Uplink has occurred, The AGT will be resurrected from the dead - However it still counts that it's been destroyed, and as a result you cant redestroy the AGT in other words the AGT has god mode : ) Minimap and Lightning left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud033 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Don't use a particle for a beam! Use a static mesh instead which you'll control the transparency of via Matinee, and if you like, the scale too.

Check Crash Site for an example Well, I originally had the Ion Beam, but it didn't look right, and you can't tell the difference between the two teams I have an Emitter at 60secs Prior to the Uplink because it's fully charged, and depending on the team that own the MCT, the emitter colour varies, giving the other team a warning and a chance to take it back : ) It will do for now, thx anyway, you know your shit : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Arts Staff DaKuja Posted April 1, 2016 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted April 1, 2016 Maby try this, got maby the same Issue on my Map if you got to much on your Map it costs insany high amount of CPU, in my Case it simply crashed. 1 PC mostly can't handle this if you build your lights with Lightmass. Here's the setting to look for: LightmapResolution That's for the foliage.

It even boots up on Stronghold, my secondary map Any theory for why? I think because you have a 'terrain' there instead of a landscape, the lightmass can't boot. I think you have to build with legacy lighting if you're gonna keep using the terrain actor. Try to delete the terrain just for a second and see if the lightmass will build, then you know your answer The Terrain System is being replaced by the Landscape system once that system achieves feature parity with the current Terrain System. https://udn.epicgames.com/Three/TerrainHome.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
