Flat-Life : Full Version Release! Created 16 years ago2008-03-25 08:58:03 UTC by ChickenFist

Are the bots included in Flat-Life? Enlighten me please.

Can Zbot work with flat-life dm maps ?

No. They are designed for Counter-Strike (Condition Zero).

1.1; Here we go!

1. Flag captures now scores properly
2. Fixed bug that happened when a player changed team while carrying the flag
3. Added powerups
4. Added killing spree, dominating and godlike announcements. (5, 10 and 15 kill streaks)
5. Minor code tweaks.
6. Bots can now be used in a dedicated server.
7. Fixed bug with ctf announce
8. New map: ctf_egypt

(It's a full release)
Dedicated server package is also out!

Download!

I don't know what powerups are included, but here are some I would like to see:
Temporary Double Jumping
Temporary Invisibility
+50 HP
+50 AP
Random Weapons

For now there's Invisiblity, Double-Damage and Suicide Bomber. And there's also few negative effects you can get if you take a random powerup such as Mega-Slow and Half-Damage.

Download link not working.

Now it is

Yup. Crappy site (adware ftl) tho.

Flat-Life time now!

Yeah, I know. I'm adding more mirrors.

Damn you FresheD your bitching (literaly) crashed the server
It's up again btw.

I've found a fairly serious bug, very evident in top-down but also platform maps: there's a problem with what's being rendered. Depending on where you stand, sometimes a brush or entity will become invisible because the engine thinks you can't see it.

Eg, if I'm standing behind a wall, I can see into the next room but the engine can't, hence rendering everything inside the next room invisible.
I'll post screenshots if needed.

That's not really a bug. It's in the FL manual actually. You'll have to turn all completely view-blocking walls to func_walls. Annoying, but it's the only way...

Ah, my bad. Admittedly, haven't checked ^_^. Well, thanks.

Here's some screens from a yet unnamed map I've been working on for Flat-Life. Deathmatch-type, if that can't be seen from the pics. The texture set is, once again, submerged.wad from the prominent Philip Klevestad ("blazeeer").

Here's a new direct download: http://www.themightyatom.nl/twhl_downloads/flatlife11full.zip

Submerged.wad ftw.

Doesn't look bad ZL, but it misses some 'flair' imho.

Flat-Life Suggestions and other stuff.

• A zoom in/out function in top-down (perhaps side-view aswell) with the scroll-button would be nice.
• The crowbar should be holden sideways, when attacking making a 180 spin, it just adds to the coolness and increases range of hit.

MS Paint ftw.

• There is no flag bug as far as I know. Atleast, I don't see the fact that you can't cap the enemies flag when your own flag isn't in base as a bug. It's only a good thing.

It adds tension and makes capping the flag just a wee bit harder.

• As for the power-ups: +50% speed, 10 seconds of godlike (Unkillable), suicide splash.
• I haven't had the suicide bomb yet? Is it extremely rare? I tried many times.
• Rename Freshed-bot to FresheDs Slave or Freshies Slave

Is Philip "Blazeer" Klevestad dead or something. He seems to have vanished from the internet!

I want that .wad

I have all of his texture sets (as seperate images for some reason). I can upload them tonight if you're desperate. ;o

pwease

Rightio! I'm sure other people could be looking for them too.

Seperate images are pretty retarded.

Here are all the wads I have from him:

Oh, well here's the packs I have (Now i'm positive some aren't correctly named):

• asianwad
• blaz_urban2
• herrgard
• mistral
• random_collection (with high-res version)
• submerged
• swars
• withered_wad

Thanks dudes.

# Bots can now kill you even when ducking

Fuck.

Why must you insist on using crappy hosts? MediaFire won't comply .

oxihosting.com is down and I don't really know any other good ones
I'll upload somewhere else, brb.

Edit: WTF, tried to upload to FileFront and it kept redirecting me to "Castlafraynia.zip"

Edit #2: There, it's on Rapidshare

server is back up. flatlife.no-ip.biz

1.3 is coming up, and I hope it will be the last version for quite some time as spring is coming up. Therefore it's important that it includes everything it needs.

This is stuff it already has:

# Added new game mode: mht_. Read more about it in the "Multiplayer" section. (Possible more)
# Trigger_set_model, trigger_set_physics, trigger_set_camera and trigger_keyboard now works in multiplayer
# trigger_keyboard can now be used to check for key releases instead of presses
# Tilted platform camera slightly upwards. (Can be changed/toggled with "cam_platform_offset_y" cvar)
# Tweaked the server dll to work slightly better with dedicated server.
# Added some player statistics to dedicated servers
# Added "rank" and "toplist" console commands.
# Fixed monster crashes in multiplayer
# Added "Frags Rewarded" and "Team" keyvalues to all monster_ entities. See "Entity Guide" section
# Disabled +lookup and +lookdown in topdown mode
# Changing team while alive now removes a frag and adds a death (To prevent team changing spam)
# Bots will now also target monsters.
# Fixed multiplayer overflows
# Removed mp_allowmonsters cvar. Monsters will always be allowed if placed in map.
# Changed trigger_set_camera due to performance issues : it will now only set camera distance. Camera Mode should be set in map properties instead.
# Fixed bug with monster hitboxes in topdown mode
# Now returns proper name in server browser and not "HL Teamplay"
# Bots now work in platform mode.
# Red and blue team player models can no longer be used in normal multiplayer to prevent confusion.
# Added some OP4 monsters: monster_pit_drone, monster_baby_gargantua, monster_shock_trooper.
# Now shows a hud icon if you can walljump and/or doublejump.
# New maps: dm_flattyflat, mht_swamp. (Possibly many more!)

If you have any bugs or suggestions that you think should be in 1.3, the possibly very final Flat-Life version, please post them. Thankyou. ^^

That's great!
If youve got some time over, maybe you could do some more power ups.

Temporary Double Jumping
Temporary Invisibility
+50 HP
+50 AP
Random Weapons

There's already invisibility.

CF: Looking good, keep it up.

Added some OP4 monsters: monster_pit_drone, monster_baby_gargantua, monster_shock_trooper.

Baby Gargantua was a Sven monster, never actually appeared in OP4.

Here's a small screenshot. Note the titled camera and how much better it looks

One of the cooler features is the FLATL.U.S (Flat-Life User Stats - Swedish pun intended 0o). Basically it collects player stats during multiplayer games and adds them to a specified mysql database. After that player stats and toplists can easily be displayed on any website.

Also thought I should explain the new game mode:
mht_ stands for monsterhunt and can be set up in many different ways.
The base purpose is that there is one or a few very powerful monster(s) in the map that you have to kill. Upon death it will give some very powerful powerup for a short time or simply make you win the round depending on map setup.
Several monster spawns can be placed for variation each round.

So now, any more features requested? ;D

1.7 should be 1.3?

Heh, yeah.
