TheDeadlyWolf Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Seriously is Hourglass cursed? Tried to release this map a few hours ago, but what do you know, Internet was Down It's Finally Here... Hourglass, Original Owners Scrin, Now A War Zone. Hourglass was once a peaceful harvesting Island for Tiberium crystals, Scrin originally found this Island while they were travelling the outskirts of the Atlantic Ocean for testing facilities, and a break from the war. Scrin landed on this Island just to find out that they landed on the motherload, this Island has unique features that were unknown to Scrin before, the Island was rich in Tiberium fields that would continue to shrive and grow in all the random conditions that the Island presented, this allowed for wonderful harvests for their war enhancements due to the high generation of Tiberium Crystals. Due to Scrin’s finding they started building a base to further their research, and once again they found the perfect resources that were located in the Islands ground, chemicals that allowed the Tiberium to double in worth, as well as providing a massive bonus to their continuous fights with Nod and GDI, Extra damage to all their weapons and abilities. Scrin started recruiting and forcing humans to work for them, due to their mind controlling, so they didn’t have to do the work themselves. So the humans were used to test the chemicals and enhancements, create runways for importing and exporting supplies to/from the mainland, harvesting the crystals, building future testing facilities such as an uplink station to disable particular base defences in war – Obelisk and Advanced Guard Tower and most importantly building a mini replica of Scrin’s sacred temple, showing it’s their territory. Years Later...Nod and GDI learned of this, both headed out, just to release that their bitter rivals were doing the same thing. Kane and Eva decided to put their differences aside for one moment to take out the greater and more powerful threat, Scrin, which have destroyed and murdered fellow bases and comrades without any trouble. Scrin put up a massive fight against both Nod and GDI, destroying everything in their path and losing the majority of their buildings. So when GDI’s and Nod’s FIFTH backup arrived, Scrin decided to pull away – wasn’t worth the resources and they could find another place to continue the work later, or let Nod and GDI fight it out before annihilating the remainders. So once Scrin pulled away, both Nod and GDI celebrated for a week while building their bases up from the ground, so they can continue the fight and benefit from the Island’s resources, so it was back to normal...Nod vs GDI, but for a major reward this time however, Tiberium enhancements as well as control of this sector like normal. Let the fight commence... Wolf P.S. The Super Weapons are Dangerous to the environment - They Damage the special resources within the Islands grounds...Causing Tiberium eruptions, don't be alarmed, your just destroying the resources that you're fighting for - Causing Green Tiberium Flashes across your green (They're Green as you haven't mixed the components together) Downloads: RenX downloads https://renegade-x.com/files/file/8-cnc-hourglass/ MediaFire http://www.mediafire.com/file/p6xju44ataiom6a/CnC-Hourglass.rar Edited October 22, 2016 by TheDeadlyWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Arts Staff TK0104 Posted October 22, 2016 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 22, 2016 Here's my feedback: Good work on the map. I like how it is done and it's new features Some things you can/need to change/fix: - Fix the lighting. It's at the moment very crappy because you didn't use lightmass. Ask DoctorAnubis or someone else to do lighting build but I suggest always using lightmass - Reduce Obelisk / AGT firing range. Vehicles have no chance of getting on the hill without getting shot. - The weather is too dark and you can't really see much from a distance. - Remove the sniper pick-ups. These will cause OP on infantry and SBH sniping - Add more lights to the bases. It is quite dark - Remove TS/RA Vehicles in the bases. This will be the primary objective of this map every time and they don't care about the Uplink or Silo anymore - Change the marked area with a different material. The current material is supposed to be used for those GDI/Nod wall. You can't use them, they don't fit at all. We have plenty of other materials that fit for it. Just type "Floor" and you get many materials that fit. If the scale is too big, just copy it over to your package and edit the scale. Easy as what: (Same goes for Nod Base of course) - The sand of the landscape/terrain is not good at all. It looks like it is daytime when you can see it. I suggest you make it darker by editing the material of course. - The tree leaf material is too shiny. Make it darker so it looks like you're in a night time map Just these things and the map is prettier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn4ke Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) There are no Flood Doors... and you can access the sidetunnels from both sides dying immidiately. At the sniper rifle location (Silo side) is a floor collision missing. Sometimes you'll get stuck there or have to move back to walk on.. Although the sniper rifle looks very cool in 1st-Person stealth mode.... please remove it. Silo needs vehicle collisions... There is a small bush leaving GDI on the left side with a vehicle collision. - Mine Limit should be at least 24, maybe even higher. - While the trees have white leafs, green ones fall to the ground. - The tree branches sway with a quite high frequency. Doesn't look natural at all. - Is there a trigger for the Kane Video? - Gravestones got no engraving. - You can get Wolverines inside the Scrin Temple. - Initiate joined the map after the TS/RA reinforcements arrived. He could hear Hovercraft engine sound all over the map. After map restart all was fine. - There is no chance to sneak the bases undetected... Maybe add Tunnels here (red): or add real cover near the INF entrances (green). The Walls are too low to cover you against Obelisk or AGT (front of base, inf entrance wall cover is ok). Or: while it's night (heavy rain) Obelisk & AGT could have a reduced range / hit rate [I have no clue if this is possible...] so sneakers could take their chances. Sneaking could also be a lot easier if you could hide in the basalt alcoves... but there are collisions all over. Near the Nod infantry entrance is a tree right next to a map border (collision). It's a strange feeling that you can only pass it on the right side while there seems to be a lot of space to the left... - Also reconsider the position of GTs in GDI base. While the Turrets alert Nod very early about attackers, GDI may have a disadvantage. - Nod got an additional alarm system through the Ceiling Guns - just destroy all the windows.. Think Thommy mentioned the rest... it's too dark. Regards, Sn4ke Edited October 23, 2016 by DarkSn4ke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. The distance is only fucked when the Rain Comes in and Thick Fog - The Islands Random Weather conditions, blame Scrin.... Now for Sn4ke 1) Will sort: They did work in the Very Old Version on custom or Servers - Possibly Broken, never went back to them + the killzones are there incase you block yourself in Edit: Checked the Flood Gates, They appear for me on the outer tunnels but you can walk through them eventually (and die) however inside the tunnel...nothing 2) Will do: Noticed that, thought I fixed it, unless it was the Temple side 3) Will do: Thx for noticing, never really thought about it 4) Will do: Didn't know that lol a) Mine Limit should be 24 and vehicle limit 8 - Is in my config file b) Will do: LMFAO c) No Trigger, Auto Starts prior to the Backup d) Might: More Work... e) Will do: Once again didn't think about doing collision for temple - Apart from inside f) That Problem Existed in the Very old Release - Thought I might have fixed it, Can easily remove the sound, just added some extra detail to GDI's backup (Hovers have two sounds, Idle and Moving) - The radius only covers the beachhead g) Originally had Tunnels - REMOVED, Not Hourglass H/I) That's a possibility, LOVE the Idea 5) Doubt it: The Stones walls do have Random Collision, it's the way they're built, did notice that myself, does look shit, only fix is to build New Collision for the mesh and could possibly screw up other areas 6) Will try: Did have 3 GT's in GDIs base before - 2 at front (like Nod), But Nod's Obi has to charge up so I removed Can remove the Back GT, replace the 2 spotlights with GT's instead 7) Classic, The CT is more OP than GDI's but can be destroyed easier - Tankers, Can move inside building in next update P.S.

Sn4ke Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Already did a lot testing on Horologe - switch from sniper rifle to shotgun? - No, that makes any unit a 1-shot-unit-against-ANY-other-unit in close combat and SBH got the greatest benefit.. I can't really decide on a weapon that isn't too OP for the different infantry unit types. Maybe Grenade Launcher as it's no sneak map? - Thommy told me that you can't change AGT / Obelisk range in a running game, but maybe you figure something out. The Uplink is working fine, but that's not what I want at night ^^ not a complete deactivation but a dilution so sneakers have a chance at all.. as harvy walk doesnt work good with broken harvies or Turrets / GTs on the side. Things I forgot... - phone box got no collisions [EDIT: Wolf told me thats on purpose] - harvies... they work or they suck... especially GDI harvester keeps sliding sidewards down the hill. I don't know why - the hill shouldn't be too steep as harvesters are working fine on Horologe... - the wall surrounding AGT has no vehicle collision [EDIT: at least Nod APC can climb em... TickTanks NOT ] Edited October 23, 2016 by DarkSn4ke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadlyWolf Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Good Testing and having a laugh, Yeah, Phone Box - You can go inside and take a phone call... AGT collision - Once again forgot or done badly Havies: Nod = Fixes itself, GDI = Worked Perfectly in SDK, Custom and Servers...That's another story 60-40 its decreasing as we speak Extra Notes: Air Lift BROKEN AGAIN - So much Maintenance - Works Once Rocks Around Hill Escape (waterfall) have no vehicle collision Sounds for teleporter work Once per person, Seriously...Typical Kismet Online Radar doesnt reset for some reason on servers (making laser look s**t), rotates than stops - doesnt reset like it does in Custom and SDK Edited October 23, 2016 by TheDeadlyWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDeadlyWolf Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 A month later update news: Haven't really done much lately, had a lot of shit and been playing Titanfall and other games So far: Added Vehicle collision around the AGT's Walls Added Vehicle collision around the escape paths on hill Fixed Collision around Scrin's Temple so no more exploits Changed the textures ontop of the walls around each base Removed bush that had collision outside GDI's Base Added the flood gates to my hourglass package and replaced the old version with the newer ones - Haven't Updated or Tested the Kismet Changed the 500 Sniper pick ups to a SMG_Silenced instead Moved the position of the Nod CT in Air, Now downstairs Edited the Uplink kismet to see if the problem resolves when playing online - long shot - Haven't Tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the darkness was intended... but.... you know Can't Promise Anything...All i can say is that there will be Extra Lights in each Base Finally found time to edit Hourglass... Nod's Side Entrance, Can easily get into Hon with timing : ) Nod is storing barrelled Tiberium outside of the base, for safety reasons GDI's side entrance didn't work that well, it's a long way to WF however with Team Work it can be done (need a repair man) For this reason had to add some extra cover further into the base...A stupid Engineer has skidded on the wet floor into some boxes and some explosive barrels, thereby a fire has been generated (Hum-Vee Blown up) GDI have barrelled Tiberium along the back wall behind Ref (awaiting Hovercraft collection) GDI had Boxes and Explosive Barrels near the outside of the base, however due to this incident the explosive barrels have been moved next to the WF and some of the boxes have been placed outside of the base awaiting relocation (well the ones they could move anyway) Just 2 images of some Seen Progress As well as: Implemented the new flood gates into the kismet, tested them, and working Changed settings within the sand texture, to make a darker variant (more Shiny) - Well can't enter the Terrain mode on this UDK lol, instantly crashes, went the long way Lowered the Wind Power when the Fog comes in - more natural feel, still insaneish Added some cover near the Infantry Entrances to each base - As seen in the images, good luck Nod, I mean it Added in 2 extra GDI guard towers, replaced the spot lights Added 2 Spotlights to Nod's base and moved the 2 in GDI's base Added extra Paths nodes and reconfigured some Added some extra detail into the map, more barrels and boxes Thought of an Idea That May Work for the Tiberium Harvester problem...Will try ASAP Edited December 15, 2016 by TheDeadlyWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions: 1) Is the light too bright? 2) Should I increase the distance, bare in mind the fog is beneficial for stealth and sneak attacks, or Wait till the newest release to answer this one, can have a better feel and in-person gaming experience? 3) From Last Picture...

TheDeadlyWolf Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm back after a long vacation from Renegade X, harvesters were pissing me off like normal, and nothing was working and editing the terrain crashed the SDK For this reason I have been meaning to install the SDK on Windows 10 for some time now, however I never got round to it...Been busy with Win 7 and shit Finally got round to installing the SDK, there's an Update - great work guys First think first, the SDK seems very Weird : ) Next up GDI harvester Tried a lot of shit, and eventually I got it working, Fluently I must add - 20 perfect trips (love the new features on Ref) Next was Nod, did similar changes like the stuff for GDI, and the Nod harvester was working fluently - 20 perfect trips... But Then...GDI harvester kept getting stuck...Eventually fixed that too Harvesters both working fluently now...Time to test the timings Nod was faster, about 20 Seconds ish (When Nod harvy leaves ref, GDI starts dumping) As a result I've decreased the GDI harvest time to run at similar times with the Nod Harvey (like a second difference) P.S. The credits gained from each dump are now 500 credits, and per second it's 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fffreak9999 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Welcome Back. Just some things to note, can you reduce the size of the UPK package, We tried using the in-game downloader (which is fixed and now works for maps and packages) It took more than 10 minutes to go through half of the UPK file before I gave up downloading the package. Also had reports that the hovercraft sound plays for all people who join after the Reinforcements have arrived and doesnt stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDeadlyWolf Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Spent over an 1hour trying to fix the lift...However the lift is Now Fixed The lift inside the Airstrip has 2 possible Fixes - 1 that Works, and 1 that Doesn't seem to function on Hourglass (but functions on every other map, on terrain and landscape maps) Functions on Stronghold : ) The only possible reason is the glitchy/corrupted sequence folder inside the kismet - This folder is called 'Prefabs' (never created it mind you) and it includes 2 VERY VERY old sequences that relate to the Airstrip, and this occurred when I was combing the Air, Ramps, Paths, and Lift together into a single prefab (helps me out, planned ahead) - however the main problem with this folder is that I can't delete either sequence, nor the folder itself : ( What's left? Gonna try and add some engraving to the gravestones - and I'll probably only do 1 texture or 2, with the standardised one Build Lights Test Kismet - Double check Hover sounds are fixed, the Teleporter Sounds, and the Uplink is no longer fucking about P.S.

And you might be able to fit multiple engravings on each channel, depending on how large they are. By making the UV Coordinates into parameters you can set the engraving you want for each gravestone material instance. If you keep the engravings small you could maybe fit like 16 of them on 1 channel, so there's 48 different dead people instead of just 1 or 2.

Edit: Gonna do some other changes that require building lights again - missed a light in both refs and decrease the shininess of the beach (a bit ott) , as well as adding some lights near the flood gates , as they're now occasionally coming out pitch black Edited April 17, 2017 by TheDeadlyWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madkill40 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Raining now and then was a nice touch, the top of the hill being suitable snd fair for both teams is already a nice touch, if the flooding is just visual is it necessary? Teleporter lacking noise isn't so bad. Suppose you'll spot more issues in the behind the scenes than anybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadlyWolf Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) You know me, it's gotta be perfect... Flooding is visual but does add some extra flavour/features to hourglass when you've been playing for hours (marathon servers) Change Notes: Changed the kismet for flood back to Loaded and Visible Removed starting collision on flood gates so they can pass through the floor/brushes Added collision to the flood gates via kismet upon passing through the floor/brushes - However some have no colour while others do (Some flood gates are pitch black while the others appear normal) Added 2 lights under the terrain in hope of fixing the flood gates darkish, but to no result still 50/50 Edited the terrain along each side path Changed the remaining green lights in both refs to blue Decrease the shininess of the beach/shore Added vehicle collision to both PPs - so easy to exploit Added a kill volume behind the GDI shore door during the flood - in case someone is still outside or have found an exploit Tried another fix for the teleporter sounds Created a new copy of the texture inside my package that was used on a hiddenish scrin statue, and replaced it As a result Hourglass 2.2 is now released Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/file/4qx8t90i3qon4jr/CnC-Hourglass+2.2.rar Renegade X: CnC-Hourglass.rar Edited April 18, 2017 by TheDeadlyWolf Reduced file size by 1.52mb - every little helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fffreak9999 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Can you also work on reducing the size of the Environment package as it is too big for in-game downloading when you also download the map with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
