This may bring back some memories to old Everquest gamers .

This is the Estate of Unrest and it is, which you can probably guess, mainly filled with undead. I got bored in class a few days ago(and have been bored of ms:c's limited maps) and thought this idea up and I think it's turning out well so far. The map is mainly focused on the manor in which you will find many levels of baddies.

I have the map entirely done except for adding monsters so far. There is no rad yet unfortunately. I'm afraid to run it with lights as it is already jumping from 12-40 fps in parts.

This is a sneak peek until I get the monsters in:

O_O

someone is almost finished with a map...must get mine to compile...ehhhh....


meh...i dont know why but mine is made in the place i hate the most... dark...caves...IM ADDIN TORCHES! (random torch spawns awaaaay, would that be a cheatmap? torches are like 1 gold -.- (also they'd be scattered throughout the caves) )

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

I've got a few ideas for a map series of my own as well, and one of them is cave-torches.

You add a bunch of torches in a cave, but you make sure all light entities are turned off. Then you add a bunch of invisible func_button entities (each one overlapping a torch). Whenever the player 'uses' the torch, he/she lights it using his/her own torch (that's the idea behind it), but what really happens is this: you just have the func_button activate the light entity.

I suck at explaining but I hope you get the point

Map is done and zipped. My hosting (freewebs ) isn't working at the moment so i'll host it later tonight when it is hopefully online and post it here.
First map released for ms:c? 8)

If anyone wants to help host please post here.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

You've been beaten by one cheatmap, and two or three other custom maps (probably cheatmaps too), but I eagerly await this map anyway

 

[evilsquirrel]

cheatmaps dont count :\

and i cant figure out whats wrong with mine >.< (see squirrels nubbeh mappin questions)

 

[Thothie]

[Jester]

Here it is in wonderful zip format
Working download link:http://rapidshare.de/files/12358285/unrest.zip.html (Right Click -> Save as..)
Hope it works for you guys. Have fun, I know I had a ton making it.

And I know the fps sucks in parts, and it isn't given justice without rad, but it works. 8)

! unrest.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged

-e-

9th time's the charm

-e-

Too many open areas =\ thats what is killing the r_speeds

 

[Jester]

I don't understand the first part of your post. :?

 

[ceriux]

try ihud.com if freewebs isnt working for u.

 

[Jester]

I posted the link to the file already.

 

[Crow]

Aparently he had trouble with the file, but it worked the 9th time. I think.

I'd say the fact that you compiled without rad (or vis, i dunno, whichever one does the shadows and such. pretty sure its rad) is what is makin it so laggy.

There are no shadows (looks really ugly when its fullbright), and the distance at which you can see stuff needs to be turned up (in map properties "max viewable distance")

Structure wise, its looks good. I only ever visited unrest once, but the map brings back memories only thing that bothered me was the fence in the front of the house was the same texture as the other parts, which looked wierd.

i suggest you recompile and release agian.
you should recreate PoK

[Jester]

Thanks Kuroneko.

And PoK.. wow that would be a nightmare for fps.
The viewable distance being turned up would only make the fps worse along with the lighting so I don't count on re-releasing it to make even worse fps . Though I am adding a second map that is part of unrest .

 

[Crow]

Just from personal experience, compiling without rad is worse than with for r speeds. Even if you don't beleive me, at least humor me, unless compiling is a huge pain in the ass. You might be surprized. Or i might be wrong.

Did I mention you should never-ever release a map that hasn't gone through an HLRAD compile? As they both look and run like ****

 

[Jester]

Ahhh *hides*

I'll see what I can do... jackass You know I love you Thothie

 

[Jester]

Ok I updated the map and compiled with vis and rad. Should be much better and it is still dark because that is what I intended on in the first place(spooky feeling )

[Crow]

Much better. The inside of the house could use maybe a faint light here and there, but otherwise good stuff.

Thanks I might do that.

Shouldn't you credit Bitey in your signatures?
