Muzzle TWHL server map rotation vote Created 17 years ago2006-05-22 11:47:42 UTC by Xyos212

Im making this thread for people to suggest some maps here at TWHL to go into rotation for Muzz's HLDM server. Its been "OK'd" so Im going to suggest some for the server:

After a bunch have been agreed upon it should be voted on for the ones that go into the server

Apex_V2

Warpcore

sol_arena

DM_control

Poison Garden!!!

Please suggest some more!

Killbox...Heh only joking but seriously I think that the server should have only a few maps...Not too many because downloading them can get tiresome...

Why not just ask in the official thread anyway...

I thought the server was shutting down...

and why is there !'s after poison garden?

Apex_V2 - on the server

DM_control - on the server

Because for some obscure reason many TWHL members are in love with you and your maps.

Maps currently in rotation:

• Apex_V2
• Warpcore
• sol_arena
• DM_control
• Poison Garden (Lite)

5 more...

I'll recommend my own map, Zeromancer ;o - http://twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=1434

/me nominates dm_stranded

Ok here are some other suggestions:

RimResortHLDMvDD

RPG Arena

• Apex_V2
• Warpcore
• sol_arena
• DM_control
• Poison Garden (Lite)
• Zeromancer
• dm_stranded

Xyos212, i can't find RimResortHLDMvDD.
RPG Arena? Hell no! That one laggs. :/

Yeah, RPG-Arena has a nice gameplay but the framerate is crap.

Rimrook quote:

r_speeds r_crap!

Best quote evah! :D:D

Hahahaha, yeah indeed

I nominate Spanish Lyceum (Lower floor). Warpcore has a very cramped layout IMO.

• Apex_V2
• Warpcore
• sol_arena
• DM_control
• Poison Garden (Lite)
• Zeromancer
• dm_stranded
• Spanish Lyceum

Kaspergs "Acient Pride" (correct me if that's the wrong spelling) maybe?
Or fugitive3b, I really liked that one! xD

I'm against Poison Garden, with all respect for Rimrook, that map plays like shit. Some of the areas are just to small. But i've said this all before..

Im not uploading any Teamplay maps.
And i don't have fugitive3b anymore. Maybe Hunter does.

yep, i do. I'll send it over MSN

Any chance I can turn this into a deathmatch map:

I got a wicked idea.. There will be a certain area that you'll press a button, and then the bot charges and sends out a wave of radiation, and kills all the people who are not out of harms way..
It's fairly small, and mainly an open map... I've never made a deathmatch map, so I would'nt know.. but I take it, it is the same as mapping for original HL. :

and of course, there would be brighter lighting.

Unbreakable: That looks like a futuristic military hanger. Maybe you could make it a airforce base with mechs as support. Pressing a button outside would open the hangar doors and the mech would walk along a trac_train. Make him deal damage on impact.

I would suggest some of my HLDM maps, but they look like crap(or are buggy). I'm working on a new DM map, hope you'll host it when I'm finished.
I have no map suggestions at this time. Everyone already said the ones I had in mind.

Get AMX....

what make rpg arena lag? is it firing lots of rockets all the time?
is 1400 wpoly's acceptable?

/questions.

No, too many models (rpg ammo).

Im unable to install AMX, sadly. I got admin installed.

I never really understood or read up on dedicated servers. Perhaps later I will ask some questions about it. I gave up on dedicated servers after trying to get my router to accept the change.

yea Xyos, but I think it would start to lag if it was too large.. but a futuristic hanger is what I was going for... but I wanted it to be a rather small close range deathmatch type of map.. now, how would I go about making this? Do I just add ammo, weapons, and a bunch of info_player_deathmatch?

I'll gladly set up AMX 0.9.9 for you and email you all the neccessary files. Is your server dedicated or rented?

They can be tricky sometimes but if you learn how to host a proper dedicated server its a lot more beneficial(mostly because its free).

1400 wpolies too much? Not these days . if you are still stuck in the stone age(like I was at one time) and have a crappy computer that lags out at 1000 wploy then forget r_speeds. Adjust your gl_max_size and get massive fps boosts:
Go to your config.cfg and type gl_max_size <value goes here>. For those who don't know, gl_max_size sets the maximum texture size that the game will draw. If a texture is larger than that then the game will resize it. The best sizes to choose are factors of 2(2,4,8,16,32,etc...). The default is 256 but if you have a crappy computer I'd suggest either 128 or even 64(only if its REALLY old). For those of you with newer computers I'd suggest 512 or even 1024(like me, the man).
Gl_max_size must be set before you enter a game and cannot be changed after you enter(even if you disconnect) which is why its smartest to put it in your config.cfg.

Its rented. For some stupid reason, an FTP based installation of AMX mod doesn't work. Don't know why. :/

Weird. A friend of mine owns a rented server and I co-own it with him. He uses AMXX and it works perfectly.

I can't help it. I've allready put these maps on the server:

• Apex_V2
• Warpcore
• sol_arena
• DM_control
• Poison Garden (Lite)
• Zeromancer
• dm_stranded
• Spanish Lyceum

Gimme more!

Huh, Acient pride isn't a teamplay map muzzie!

http://www.twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=3611

Oh right. I thought it was a Teamplay map.

Muzzle, My robot map is in the making now.. it'll be done soon...
this is for 'Won HL Deathmatch Classic' right?

Here's a screenie of the inside.. outside walls are up.. I just need to add pipes and such.

GAH.

WILL YOU NOOBS GET IT THROUGH YOUR SKULLS!

DEATHMATCH CLASSIC IS NOT HALF-LIFE DEATHMATCH!!!!!!!!!!!

And no, its for Steam

Thats lookin pretty cool unbreakable. Is the mech going to move around, or no?

NNNOOoooOOoOOoooOOOOOOOooooooo o o o o o o
Well, that sucks. Maybe once done, Someone can convert it for me.. (if thats possible.)

dude, there's no difference between steam and non-steam Deathmatch maps :

oh.. ok, so whats the problem!
(Oh, I said DM Classic...)
Xyos, I'm still debating on what to do with it... Anyone have any ideas? I can't make it move.. its a func_wall.. and thats how it's going to stay.

Looking hawt, Unb! If you need a playtest, you can PM or MSN me.

Also, my server is hosting Half-Life Deathmatch, not Deathmatch Classic. Make sure you map the correct game.

well, is'nt it the same thing? I mean, if we -wadinclude, there should be no problem right? (This is the first time I am making a multiplayer map)
As long as we have the following items:
-Info_playerstart
-Info_deathmatch_player
-Info____weapons, health, and ammo, right?

But Deathmatch Classic uses different entities. If you put any of those in your map, and you try to run it in regular DM, those entities may not appear ingame.

Making a HLDM map uses the same fgd file as a normal HL sinlgeplayer map. So if you are using that one, you are ok.

alright cool, thats what I'm doing. Hopefully have it ready to test in a couple days

Unbreakable, how did you pull off the blooming outside the garage?

If it was source, you could get the legs to move with a rotating, or a trac_train, then set the whole mech to a trac_train, making the legs children of the whole Parent of the mech as it moves along its own trac_train. I forget what the inferior parent/child set up is in 1.6

Won still is around? I didnt know HL could run anymore on WON....

yea, won is no longer around.. lol.. (my mistake) Worldcraft.. it's just a Photoshop effect to brighten up the screenshot.. lol

So far what I got plan is that.. theres a button you press that will cause the bot to have a power overload, and anyone in the hangar at that time will die.. so you have to run for cover once the buttons pressed.. then the bot will recharge.
Recharge time should be what though? 120secs? (2mins) or more?

If its only in the hangar, then just have like a 5 or 10 second warning alarm. After 2 minuter or so it should be available again for activation.

Sounds like an uber map. Just make sure to make the outside of the hangar as good as the inside.

yea, outside is coming along well. I think there will only be a 5 sec. warning..
So 2mins it will be then.

I think something better then an overload would be in order, something along the lines of remote controling the mech's weapons from a console next to it or something. or have the player be able to get into the cockpit and pire from their.

becuase then the thing would dish out pain but still be defeseless from behind
