[Map] CNC-XMeteor

[TK0104]

Hi,

A few weeks / months ago (I dunno how long it's been) I've announced this map and I was already very very far with it's progress. Then I released it but I didn't knew about the assets of Beach Head were private assets. I didn't want to cancell the map cause I know it will be an awesome map. So I removed all the materials, assets from the map and created my own materials for the map. And as some know (If you have readed the forums) I am busy with the GDI Adv. Communication Center and the Nod Communication Center which will be in this map.

But (this is a big But) I can't really re-model it. So I want to work with a team who can remodel and texture these buildings. It is really really looking crappy now. I took a look at the Original and that even looks better. So If you are a modeler or texturer who want to help, please PM me.

but now the screenshots:

(NOTE: Lights are not build)

And you ask: 'What about River?'. That will also come. I will first finish this map (till I can't go any further).

I am planning to redo everything on River because first of all I don't like the material of the landscape, the rocks material. I want to make it more like a foresty area where a river is

i dont give a shit if you like or dislike my assets there not official assets and there for my personal assets permission is needed

[Glacious]

If you would like to pop onto Teamspeak Kenz if hear for a chat Thommy.

[Bananas]

Do I need permission to use stuff in the sdk? O_o

[TK0104]

No I used assets from Beach Head and that are personal assets from Kenz

Assets that are released with the SDK are free to use

I updated the first post and I will explain everything what you need to know

UPDATE:

So it looks like during 5.15/5.16 days a new tech building is been added in the game files that's been modeled and scripted. So I thought why not to add it:

[rocky44r]

looks nothing like the communication centre

just joking good work ^^

why did nobody saw / used this already? what does it do, when you capture it?

still want to see a real communication centre as a destructible building

[TK0104]

At the moment this tech building does nothing when captured

And I'm going to try to contact people who want do some modeling

[rocky44r]

hmmm... so you still have to add a purpose to the tech building?

How about:

- reveals enemys on the radar

- disables enemy radar

- reduces cost for beacons and airstrikes

- gives one free beacon or airstrike every X minutes

- gives a special airstrike which can be aimed instantly (but it would still take the time until the airstrike arrives including the warning message)

- disables advanced defenses for x seconds (like on the hourglass map)

- opens a purchase terminal

- drops health pack / ammunition / armor every X minutes

- calls a free reinforcment tank every X minutes via airdrop (very intresting idea, because you would have to keep the tech building for at least X minutes - especially intresting if one or both factions lose tanks. maybe just dropping tanks to the vehicle limit of the keeping faction + 30 seconds locked for the team to prevent stealing the tank)

the last one could also become a new tech building (like the reinforcement pad in c&c generals)... i think it would be pretty good preventing stalemate when there are only limited ressources... i think it would be especially good on field

[TK0104]

All the ideas sounds good but I'm not the dev of the new tech building. I just found it in the game files and I can't script it and I'm not that good with Kismet

[TK0104]

So I decided to make this map more fancy by using Blue Nod buildings. I've scripted them and they are working.

Even the Nod Com Center

Only problem is that the buildings won't be showed on the HUD

I think it's somewhere in the HUD files but I don't know exactly where. Can someone please find out?

[Ruud033]

you should've just extend the original ones and override the default material init.

What would be even better is, if you would ask the developers to make the static mesh a variable, so we can override the material, just like i'm trying to convince them

[TK0104]

Was also an option but I will mess up the game files if I change materials.

So, Hassan is back? What's the next step, CABAL?

But in all seriousness, blue nod buildings? Wouldn't that be confusing as hell? I like the fact you can do it, but I personally wouldn't do it for a release. It's your map though.

[TK0104]

You're right. I think I was trolling. But I will release the .uc files for other mappers

[Henk]

So we can have snowy and sandy buildings! Sorry for going off-topic but I would really like that.

Then you need to make a snowblend/sandblend material

UPDATE

- Changed blue buildings to regular nod buildings

- Removed (Adv.) Communication Center because it was only a test

- Removed Com Center Tech Building because it looks unfinished and is probably unfinished

- Added some rubble to specific locations

- Added small tiberium field in the infantry path

- Refinery will give you 5 credits per second beause the harverster has to go to the center of the map and go back. Harverster will give you 500 credits when it's docked

What about City and River?

City is going to be finished. If I'm right Ruud is trying to create an overpass. I can't go any further until that's in it

River will get a new looking. I'm going to create a new landscape material that matches with the idea I have since a very long time ago

And when I finished River and Meteor (not sure about City), I will start a new project, cause I have a great idea for a new map. More details will come later

Also I am moving soon to a new PC which means I have to move all the maps, packages and private files.

Progress:

[Madkill40]

well again thanks for asking to use my assets !

We know they're your sexy assets, nobody is challenging that.

To make sure: everything are my assets. I thought I didn't said that

Update

So It's been a while since I posted something about this map. The reason is because the work in progress has stopped for a while. And because I was busy on fixing TrainingYard.

I also did some massive changes on the map (like the name). The name has changed because I found another map called CNC-Meteor and that one was in the UT3 version of Meteor. And I don't want people to get confused about it.

Changelist

- Changed the name to CNC-XMeteor

- Time of day has been changed to the morning

- Filled up the field with tree's, bushes, grass (and more)

- Added sounds

- Added Decal roads

- Changed to Blue Tiberium (Even the Refinery silo's are filled with Blue Tiberium

- Created a new crate and is in a separate package so other mappers can use it too (Contain GDI, Nod and Neutral version)

Screenshots

[Ruud033]

From what I can see on the pictures, the colors don't seem to match so well.. the grass looks oversaturated

Lighting isn't builded yet. I first need to build that and then I can fix grass color

[TK0104]

So a small question to you guys. I came up with a weird thing I never saw:

What is this kinda weird volume? I can't see that in editor, but when I play in editor, it appears. Anyone knows what it is?

And yeah another change...........I want it to gave it a night time. And it reminds me of Black Dawn

[kenz3001]

its a renx area objective node just set it to not show area

also yoooooo

[Xtractor]

Id try Meteor and played  quit a while with the bots

A lot is going to happen next update for this map:

 

- Make the map smaller

- Scale the landscape

- Probably Re-designing the bases

- Less tree's
