For Questions and answers, and everything else for Compo 15 'Xen Transportation'


Question

Transportation device... Do you mean a teleportal system, or an actual vehicle?

Is it limited to just one kind of transport? Or maybe a whole system with different components?

Kasperg, you know how relaxed our competitions are ;). If it's not defined, you can do whatever you want.

Urban: you make a MOVE-Y THINGY IN XEN, EH?

Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 09:00:08 UTC Post #129380
this doesnt make any sense! *ITS MUST BE USABLE BY PLAYER!

IF ITS GONNA BE THEN WE NEED NEW SOUNDS.WE CANNOT USE THE CUSTOM TRAIN SOUNDS FOR A XEN THINGY.AND IF WE NEED SOUNDS.ALL COMPS NEED TO BE IN MOD FORMAT. :tired:
Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 09:06:31 UTC Post #129383
That means that the player can drive it or to be a passengre! ;)

ITS MUST BE USABLE BY PLAYER!
if he is gonna be a passenger how is he gonna use it! :
Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 09:13:03 UTC Post #129388
I think they ment something like this: The player must be able to be transported by it
Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 09:16:10 UTC Post #129389
"Usable by the player" means he can be a passenger and that it can move. It doesn't mean the player can drive it!(although he can) :lol: On the contrery I'm making a map that I'll submit it to the vault later and he wont drive the vichle or vichles! ;)

Yeah, it doesn't say "player-controllable".

Well, I already know what my entry will be like. Of course, It will have to be a minimod. I suspect Rimrook will also come up with something interesting.

Im in to, also will make a costum weapon to be used.
Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 12:10:13 UTC Post #129431
I'm not too sure if I'll be participating in this one, besides, I got alot of other stuff that needs to be done, like the twhlmix, and HL:HS.. plus I got a friend who is awaiting a custom light shadow tutorial, and a couple prefabs so, I'm a bit tied up. :nervous:

im going to enter, gives me a reason to do something with zen. and i have some good ideas about zen transport. plus i have a good idea for the next compo.

and i think that 'player controlable' in this really translates to 'the player gets to choose the moument he is transported, either via walking into a specifid area, or pressing a zen button'
Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 14:11:45 UTC Post #129458
im entering in, and ive got one hell of an idea. But im going to PM seventh to see if my idea is liable

Maybe this time hammer won't piss me off by hiding the texture bar? :)

My entry will have a story, with the potential to draw tears even from the most heartless mappers. Oh, and it will also have a xen transportation thingy, of course.
Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 14:27:27 UTC Post #129460
mine has a story too, although not as 'touching' as yours may sound.

Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 15:51:09 UTC Post #129490
What if I only had a xen world.. or a city.. ..

Do I absolutely need a transport system, or teleportal?

'Xen Transportation', could mean many things.

If I'm interested enough, it will move up in my priorities list!

What do you mean by that? :nervous: If you are mapping for Cs you wont have all the Hl1 entities but do you have all these entities? If not then you need a fgd file!! :(

Unbreakable: You can make a city or xen but it must have a tranportation system! :lol: It can be everything: Xen bus,texi,space shaft...ect ;)

My transport system will be somewhat inspired by the movie Contact.
Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 16:19:30 UTC Post #129509
Interesting movie, but it sounds a little hard to translate into a map :o
Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 16:25:54 UTC Post #129513
Its not exactly like the movie, just inspired. You may guess once wich part. its probably a bit obvious.
Posted 19 years ago2005-08-24 16:30:42 UTC Post #129518
OK, cool, I've started mapping.. looks like I'll be entering after all! :nuts:

Sounds like it could turn out to be an excellent competition. After all, without Xen, there's no Half-Life story! Maybe we'll find out how Xen residents get back-and-forth to work, how they get to the beach or to school. How do alien slaves get to the wing place in time to get back for the big game on the XTV channel?! :glad:

Create a transportation system for Xen! Build the transport and points for the player to travel between using 'it'. The entry can be any kind of transport: the more original the better. The transport itself doesn't necessarily have to be a native Xen thing, and it doesn't have to be in a floating part of Xen, either.
maybe its the fact that you dont just have to make a transport system from xen to xen, it could be xen to earth. It never said you had too make it for xen only. And it didnt say it had to be native to xen :)
