I was thinking that originally.. its what i died for most of my maps that didnt have many objects left. Anyone want to host this weeks rustoms?
I was thinking about doing that but I didnt for some reasons which are in this nice list below: - Foundry - On Guardian I needed to push the starting points below the kill zone so that it was instant death on start, not fall and die on start - If I pushed a pallet or crate outside this boundary I would not have been able to delete it and therefore leaving this ugly object floating into the middle of no where.
Regen gametypes have had a big makeover today... If you're interested, here's whats happened: Regeneration Slayer is now known as Regeration King. Team RS is now known as Team RegenKing (duh) Regeneration Slayer is born!!! (again, but this time its real ) New map created called Complex! --- Main thread updated, we just need a picture of each map now to go with the dl link. So crypto, your gonna have to take a few pictures matey..
Get rid of all the text/links associated with the maps and use these images: Im too awesome. I hope its what you wanted, if not still use them. Also under Regen Slayer you wrote "earn your shields the hard way but beare".
Map list updated and moved to bottom of the thread. I dunno man, not really enough variety when it comes to who made the maps. It's either me, you or Meta's variant i set up. We really need some more people intersted in making maps for these gametypes
Needs borders TBH, otherwise I really like that Maybe we should start talking to some well known forgers and start some games on regen with them. Get them more interested. A lot of the really good forgers surprisingly don;t visit here much, or at all ;p
I actually like them just how they are I think it'd be sweet if the map pack ones eventually have gold writing for the name and creater though.. just so the map pack ones stand out in the list Yeah, well... you best get on that boyo. i dont have many good forgers added
I'm starting term 2 of school so I'm only be online some weekends. I'll try and talk to noxiw but I'm not making any promises.
are you guys not gonna make a map for this Comis, B3NW, Elliot? It'd be nice to see what other people come up with i think with 12 maps in the kitty a map pack can be made and the more people who attempt to make one the better
Hey guys what happened? Did everyone just sort of pack up and leave like this thread. C'mon!!! I know we may have school and work and stuff but that doesn't mean we don't have any free time! Steve, video and map pack? Ben, are you making a map? Comis, are you making a map? Anyone PLZ respond. I don't want this to die because it so awesome! --- Edit: If you tell me which maps are definitely going to be in the map pack I can create the golden version of the images.
not sure what that other thread is about? :S I'm not able to actually get on the internet atm i have an all time low of 0.22mb/s download (woop!) and im currently in the process of getting bt business broadband so it should be a little bit better than what im stuck on atm. Also, i cant guarrantee what should be in the map pack as essentially i think it would be fairer if everyone decides.. My favourite 3 so far are Rise (cause it was the original complete map designed specifically for the gametype) Regain (because its probably the most fun to play on and its very balanced and fair) and then my newest complex (i just really really like it xD) but theres still 2 other slots and i couldnt pick between the ones we have atm... gyroscope looks amazing, the mantle plays really well.. but we just need more variety..
I'm sorry, I'm all for this gametype but I have exams in the next few weeks, so I wont be making a map. If I could I would :l Maybe after I will, dunno.
Yeah I know what you mean Ben. I got my half yearly exams coming up and Im only gonna be online some weekends. Also Steve do you want me to golden-ise rise and regain? I don't really like complex that much but I guess in the end it all comes down to the majority vote. Ps: that thread I showed was all about people making maps and getting together a compilation, like we are now, and then posting it. The problem was person who ran the thread left and one of the more active guys got banned due to a mods ego.
Sorry about lack of updates on my map(s). The one I was going to make for this gametype (spiritual sucessor to Halo 2's Colossus) fell through due to lack of inspiration. I do have my map called Deflect, which I posted a preview for coming up to completion, although i have not done much work on it recently. This map wasn't specifically designed around the gametype, but I suppose it could work quite well for it so I will give it a go setting it up when I have finished it (Although due to linear design it will be specifically for team games). I have one other map which I have fully planned out and im really loving the design for, but I have barely started it. This could also work well with team regen games when done. The reasons my maps are coming along slowly is because A) im generally a slow forger anyway, B) My exams are coming up, C) my dad is insisting I do hours of revision every single night (depite me getting straight A's in my mocks :/), so I hardly have time to socialise, nevermind play xbox, and D) whenever I do find time, i normally cant get on the xbox coz my step-brothers spend their lifes on it. Pricks. I also love the gametype, and I will get maps done for it, but progress WILL be slow. To give you a general idea of how little xbox time i get, I will probably only play the reach beta once or twice. TBH, if both me and ben and anyone else interested in making a map can't really make them atm, then maybe it would be a better idea to release the map pack in the next couple of weeks or so (although now i think about it, maybe waiting until after reach beta will be a better idea), and then when people have the time and get their maps made, then we can make a second map pack (which includes a link to the original map pack).
Just a quick image update for you to do Steve. Here is Regain and Rise golden-ised. We will work the others out later: For those who don't know what the gold text means, it just indicates the maps to be included in the map pack. Quick link edit to Gyroscope. I have setup a normal version which I might submit as a competitive map so the Regen one has been changed to Regen Gyroscope. Edit: When you have created a map and its in your file share, give me the link and I will make and awesome image for the map like the ones above.
i'll update the gold images once the first packs been decided on.. you can start a poll thread if you'd like trying to get people to vote on which maps? Those were just my personal favourites, its not just upto me though
