Something to try

[Oedipus]

Made this map other day not much to it but may be fun for a try.

Made up some shambles of a story to justify it soo here goes..

You (and your team if you have one though i don't know if it will work well with multiple clients) have set off on a quest with an old priest to recover a lost relic the 'golden skull' with its powers you will be able to restore balance to an old temple and hopefully thwart the orcs in the area.
Your problem is that the skull was found by the orcs first and you were captured and now stand in the middle of an old arena awaiting your fait.......

So yeah corny

If you can make it to the end without dieing (i couldn't with jesters test char, but you can respawn so no probs really..just dosnt feel right) then you can escape to another map.... inside the void of edana to be precise I havn't managed any better but there you go.

rmf is in the zip so someone can improove or fix things if you can be bothered.

Enjoy!

*sigh* another arena map...

Well, it's a hell of an improvement over the last one at least. Doesn't look like it's just to accelerate training so much.

It locked at Wave5 for me, I had to bypass that to see the rest of it.

Issue is you are using the FireAllPerish function (or "Fire, when all monsters perish" as the FGD calls it). Don't do that as it often buggers when chaining waves like this. Instead use the trigger_counter meathod described here.

I notice that you've discovered that trigger_changelevel doesn't work properly in MS:C. Or rather, you've discovered that for me... (try using mstrig_changelevel instead)

In next month's AMX release, I'll have a new mapper tool to work around this... Mappers can activate AMX style map changes (ie. disconnect/reconnect everyone so no crashie) by triggering an event called "force_map_xxx" (where XXX = map name)

So if you wanted to force the players to Edana, as you evidentally intended to do here, you would trigger "force_map_edana" - you might want to replace your "endmap" trigger with that, or have it go off just second or two before.

I would also suggest altering the arena so you could stick archers in the rafters.

meh, ima check it out... see if it looked better than my actual arena map... since i like monster arenas....



Here's a pic of his map

ts a lot bigger than my arena was... and its gotta couple cool effects to it like the big troll talking and sending the waves after you... and telling you they deserved to die when they wernt good enough XD


its pretty fun. although i only got to the 3rd group of monsters ... the reason i call it group is cause theres waves of a certain strength of orcs then it goes to the next strength group... i like this map alot actually i think it could be fun solo'd and with people helping depending on your level. i only got to the 3rd wave cause i had to go but u guys should check it out. ima upload it to filefront and then put a download link on my site


Id like to see a skelly varience.... if its ok with him id like to edit it so its about undead.

 

[Oedipus]

sure was just so too see if it worked so know yourself out. Undead would be cool

 

[ceriux]

sure was just so too see if it worked so know yourself out. Undead would be cool

so you dont mind if i make an undead version ?

 

[Oedipus]

Nah go ahead do what you like with it.

 

[Netrogor]

Haha Ceriux: an undead version of this map could be pretty cool

Especially since undead monsters can rise up multiple times... that'd be some mad XP for some of us (i.e.-I could get outta this standstill on lvln my wizard's skills... thanks again Thothie for helping me w/chars ).

 

[ceriux]

thats not why i thought undead would be cool, but u do make a good point...

 

[HumanSteak]

Sooo is this map legal to play on FN?

 

[ceriux]

its final... and thothie didnt remove the link... im guessing so. its setup pretty neat.

 

[Netrogor]

HHAHAHAHA! I made a good point that Ceriux didn't think of; in your face Ceriux, I ripped all over your good idea

 

[ceriux]

it still would be cool, and the final wave ZOMBIE DWARF's LOL!

 

[Thothie]

Yeaaah... I'll let this one go onto FN... Like I said, it isn't designed specifically to accelerate training, and it is probably actually less of a cheatmap than orcplace2_beta, all things considered. (orcplace has better orcs and treasure)

This like barely qualifies though - these arena maps should really be PvP (granted, we already have one for that).

 

[Netrogor]

Yay! Now I think I will go to this map, firewall everything straight to hell, and collect loot off from orcs!!
nahh, I'll do this map with others like J-M (should I play while he's on sometime soon) and spam those ugly greenies *that's right, I'm racist/specist towards orcs*.
