CaptainDireWolf submitted a new map: Moby D - The legendary White Whale has destroyed your ship. Survive its wrath until help arrives. Read more about this map... --- Double Post Merged, Jul 27, 2016 --- Despite hours and hours of my best efforts, there have been reports of the whale occasionally getting stuck on the bottom invisible blockers when it moves at high speeds. However, if that happens, I've found it helpful to jump out and hit/spartan charge the warthog to dislodge it. Then you can continue the rampage
Kinda sad this is broken Hopefully the added people who'll download this will generate feedback/suggestions
Despite hours and hours of work to circumvent the issue, there are still reports of the whale occasionally getting stuck on the invisible blockers that make up the ground for the infected to run on, mainly when the warthog goes at high speeds. However, I've found it helpful if that happens, for the alpha infected to get out and hit/spartan charge the warthog to displace it. Then you you should be able to carry on your merry way
Damn that sucks. Hate how things work in forge, but then don't in custom sometimes. Well, I'm open to any suggestions on how to fix it for the future, but I'm honestly going to move on as I spent way too much time on this map anyways lol.
Yeah I wasn't suggesting that you fix it. I'm as burned out as you are with this map. I kinda just wanted to point it out hahaha But hey, at least iKampfer's video for it got to the reddit front page. I'm glad I was able to help test and fix the map to get it to that point Looking forward to more of your stuff soon
So what's happening? The whale is getting stuck in an invisible blocker that the boats ride on? Just use a vehicle blocker instead so the whale can go right through it. You could even make the boats act more boat-like this way: place your vehicle blocker a bit under the water. This will also make the whale look like it is in the water rather than hovering above it.
Hey Chewy, Yeah i believe its the grid below the whale. Sadly ive tested this map so many times and when i use invis vehicle blockers below, it gets all bumpy and the boats have trouble driving over them. Also then i cant have the infected tun on the water. Ive tried thinking of making the infected stand on the ship and shoot the remaining boats as pirates or something, which i might end up doing as it would get rid of the need for a blocker to help people stand on it. Its also partially the issue of welding the warthog to the whale as it creates a huge counterbalance...
This map was submitted to the ForgeHub Friday with Naded and he loved your map. You should watch the rebroadcast sometime when you have a chance. He plays your map at around 7 hours into this stream today: https://www.twitch.tv/naded/v/86180601 Apparently the kill radius on the whale is OP! Make it smaller so players only die when they 'touch' the whale.
Hey thanks for the heads up! Haha that stream was hilarious to watch Naded get so salty Seems he had fun though. Yea I originally made the kill radius big because the whale sometimes got stuck on the vehicles if they hit it from the sides :/ Still, I'll play around with it more. Thanks for the feedback
