I've been putting together a mission type map called "siege". The name based on the gameplay mode that it imitates. (not the gloom map)
The basic premise:
Humans have two bases, no build points, no ckits (adv available), no jetpack, and a lot of pre-made defenses. The aliens have the normal number of build points, no granger (adv available), and a hidden overmind that can not be destroyed. In addition to this, the alien base is filled with poisonous gas that will kill humans.
The first human base should be fairly easy to get past, however there is a forcefield after it, preventing the aliens from reaching all the critical structures at the main base. In order to bring down the forcefield, the aliens have to destroy the repeater powering the base and push a button that is underneath it.
Once this is done, the forcefield is brought down, and the aliens have access to the main base. If they are able to destroy the humans, they win. However, after ~20 minutes a dropship will arrive to rescue the humans. Once the dropship has arrived, a door opens in the main human base, allowing the humans to make a dash for the landing spot. If any human reaches the ship, the humans win.
In addition to this, if humans reach stage 3, they can retaliate. A bsuit can enter the alien base and only take small amounts of damage. Once inside, the bsuit could try to destroy the base, or travel to the back of the base and turn on a generator which will empty out the gas allowing the entire human team to enter the base.

That does look pretty sweet, can't wait to try it out :D
-

Great! The map looks absolutely terrific and the gameplay sounds like a really welcome variance to the game. Well thought out. Can you say if it's very far in development? The screens certainly look that way.
-
In "Inside the human's main base" why is the front spawn SQUARE??? :o
-
I think thats a pillar of light, not a spawn ;)
-
Its a teleporter to get to the human's second base... since theres no way around the forcefield otherwise :)

now Tremulous will need LIMBO menu like in Enemy Territory with short description of map and goals.
Keep this great work.

hehe...mission based maps would be great...we could replay the W:ET maps...i already hear the server messages:
"They have stolen the tyrant!"
"They have broken the first tyrantbarrier!"
"They have broken the second tyrantbarrier!"
"The tyrant is in the bank courtyard!"
"They have broken into the bank!"
"They have stolen the first gold crate!"
or
"Prevent the tyrant from reaching the depot gate!"
"Depot gates broken. Protect the fuel depot!"
*lol*

:D
hot hot bunni action
-
1st, great map but a bit to "misty" for me
2nd, mission based maps are fine for me, as long as there are few and they are well designed.
3rd, how did you get HappyBunny to act for your screenshots :D :P
-
is that an updated model for the dretch? looks intimidating... :D
-
yeah, would cue moments like the koala bear scene in family guy :D
-
What stage do the aliens start at? Cos if they are stage 1 all the humans need do is sit back and wait for the timer to run out.... Wheres the incentive for them to put themselves at risk and so allow aliens to get points etc?
-
"It's not one bunny, not two bunny, not bunny army..."
"What is it then?!"
"...The Bunny Land!!!"

i am very glad i wasn't drinking anything when i read that, otherwise i would have squirted said drink out my nose all over my keyboard. i would love to see the tank reskinned to look like a tyrant (or an adv. goon, it does need to shoot after all).

Or a Tyrant with an Adv Goon on it's back, like a turret ;)
-
how about something more realistic: a tyrant with an adv granger at its feet (also a turret)
-
OH NO PONYes!

Someone's been watching too much Monty Python :wink:
Great looking map and an interesting gametype idea, looking foward to playing it!
-
Ooooohhhh..... aaaaahhhhh..... :eek: 8) :D :)
-
I've got also a question: how can you specify things like what buildpoints humans have or that humans don't have jetpack by map? I could not find any description for that in the internet.
-

im guessing overflow is going to mess with the source and make this a mod for trem. but buildpoints is easy to configure its the jetpack which confuses me. the map looks great and it has been a longtime since this thread has been updated. it would be nice to have a mission map with something to do beside the endless killing.
-
wow, that looks awesome
the dropship model looks so cool! Looks like starwars clone wars dropship

Build points are easy and can be done already I think. In all cases, server admins can select the buildpoints in the map rotation file for each map.
As for jetpack, a good old triggerkill the size of the whole map which triggers on any human with a jetpack can be done I think :D
-
This map will be released in the next version of tremulous because it will include some mission/time based events that will be included in the next version of tremulous :) .

are they gonna put all those to svn at once or use another branch????
-
All the features needed to run that map are included in the online svn. However, it requires users to update as well as servers. (I thiiink)
The map is pretty much in a playable state right now, there are however a couple things I need to figure out how to fix. And jex has to finish up the dropship texture...
I am however worried about framerates. Because the map is for the most part very open, it seems like the majority of the battles will keep every single player within vis... plus its already a little laggy just playing by myself. Also, I think it will require a bit of testing to determine the correct timing of events to make things even... So yeah, this map may or may not work. D:

No wonder that FPS falls down, when it rains pink bunnies :P

Do you consider the Human front hallway on Arachnid laggy? Kind of a gauge for how laggy it would be for me :P
-
I usually avoid the hallway in arachnid because I always get killed by LAGHACKERS.
-
It would be interesting to stick on sst with our buildpoint system.

Oh god, no.

ONOZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ATTACK OF THE EVIL BUNIYES!!!!!!!!!!!THERE 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously tho, make the timer higher, and make it harder to camp
-
This sounds great, although the only problem I can see is explanation of the rules. Also, the lag would be a big issue. Otherwise, I can't wait!
-
I THINK THAT IS AWSOME, CAN U DRIVE THE SHIP? :DPLZ TELL ME HOW TO PLAY ON IT
-
This map is not released yet so you cant play it

Quite simple actually : use some text messages which appear in front of players like soubok did on Pulse
-
how did you disable ckit?
-
1.2 Feature ;)
-
1.2 Feature ;)
but how?
-
1.2 Feature ;)
but how?
1.2 Feature
-
anyway it works in 1.1.0 too I figured how but I wont tell till 1.2
since it is a 1.2 feature :D
-
It does? you lie :P... (does he?)
Ah well, you mean, placing the nobuild shader everywhere =P
-
No, it works perfectly. I tested it by myself.
-
class->kill->(adv)conkit and (adv)granger is the 1.1.0 easy solution.
-
is it just me or can nobody else see those pics on the first post
(PS. to any modders, take a look at the "Editting Models" thread in the Mods section, i've got a GMax problem going on, thanks)
-

Fixed. I changed webhosts since I made that post oh so long ago. >.>
If anyone is interested on the progress of this map. I haven't touched it much recently. However, some time ago jex finished the dropship texture, which was one of the few remaining things I needed to get this out the door. Next is just the 1.2 patch. <_<

I don't mind people looking through my stuff, but I figure it might cause problems when I have half-completed maps in there that people start using :/
Edit: Moved the maps elsewhere, the directory is free to browse ^__^

Just had a look at the siege screenshots.

uhh, heh heh >_<, oh, btw, i get stuck when i try to use the teleporter :p
-
Hmm, we all want this map to come out, and this map comes out when 1.2 does.
It all boils down to when does 1.2 come out?
At least give us a sign or an omen (or something)!!!!
Maybe even a checklist of done/not...
People keep answering "When it is done", but the question keeps coming up "When is it done"

try moving left and right to loosen it
-
are the bunnies going to appear in the map???
-
no
-
no
But I want the bunnies...
-
I cant wait for this man. Seems so dam awesome. Its like a version of conquest and CTF mixed together. Though I must say there person that was talking about these "messages" isnt that from the game Wolfenstien Enemy Terriotory the online game? Good Luck on it. Maybe add a minefield? XD
-
lookz awesome :D
but one thing - you like fog -.-
-
Aw thats sad though becuase i wanted bunnies all over me and scratching my armor lol no iffence but aw i wish the bunnies appear lol
-
I always wanted to press a button and bunny's are appearing everywhere :D
EasterEgg!!!
-
Yeah, maybe the bunnies follow you round and beat up tyrants when they try to harm you.
-
LOL press the red button and bunnies come out of the sky and Ahhhh and bunnies are attacking big fat tyrants lol :lol:
-
So, whats happened? Looks really really really cool! Any chance of a preview pk3? O_o
Great Work, by the way! :D
-
I'm interested in the particle system. Can you post a tutorial or an example .map and associated files to get it working?
I'd be forever indebted!
-
The .particle files included in .pk3s along decompiling most official maps will give you the information you need. Not many tutorials around but you could check the example in the manual.
-

IIRC Siege will be in the 1.2 release, as it uses features that aren't in 1.1
-
Yeah but didn't OverFlow say that the map works with the svn builds?
All the features needed to run that map are included in the online svn. However, it requires users to update as well as servers. (I thiiink)
The map is pretty much in a playable state right now, there are however a couple things I need to figure out how to fix. And jex has to finish up the dropship texture...

-
I'm curious as to how the jetpack was disabled, or was layout on when I tried to buy it? I wonder...
-
I'm not sure but is a version of the map? I remember censored told me that it was in development when I got it but I can't be sure if this is the one.
map-siege-1.1.1.pk3
-
um, yeah that might be the map...Can you post a link to it, if OverFlow doesn't mind ;) Thanks!
-
I don't mind people looking at the map, but I don't want people throwing it on servers and such since it isn't finished yet. So uh... how about keeping transfers of it private? <.<
-
yeah sure, I just wanted to have a peek :D
-
Overflow dude, you have no idea how pumped I am for this map.
This is some hardcore good stuff. :)
-
Hehe, same here. Has anyone got a version of the map they could pm to me please?
-
Patience!
Blessed are those who *DON'T* turn tremulous into a cesspit of unfinished maps...
-
So OverFlow, did you disable the jetpacks. or was I just on layout or something when I tried to buy one on Seige?
-
I don't mind people looking at the map, but I don't want people throwing it on servers and such since it isn't finished yet. So uh... how about keeping transfers of it private? <.<
Yeah I haven't shared it with anyone and I can't run anything but default maps on my server x)
-
just played it on my own >_>. It is seriously cool. The only problem I think there is is that there is too much fog. Or at least the fog should only be limited to some parts of the map. It kinda gets annoying after a while. Overall, the map really does rock :tyrant:
-
That would be friggin fun, what would be cool is if you made a mod that gave each team a super weapon, and each team a base, the super weapon would activate every say, 20 kills, and the person with the most kills would enter a spectator like mode and choose where to shoot it, it could damege the shields too. So basically a base wars mode could be a cool mod of this.
-
O_o That would be weird.
Anyone want to try that?:D
-
The fog in the alien base should dissapate when the poison is vented.
-
oh, i forgot....
-
any chance of the ship model being released?
:wink:
-
any chance the map well be released?
-
tremulous 1.2: same time
-
:D
-
Any chance of 1.2 being released (soon)?
-
Any chance of 1.2 being released (soon)?
Lol.
Ps: Cool! Another MW member! :D Yay for Rob
-
Trem 1.2 is a whole different freaking game.
-
Very cool different game :D
-
no
-
Plague, next you'll be saying that Trem 1.2 is just like NS, making it suck worse.
-
I haven't played NS, therefore it would be illogical for me to say that Trem 1.2 is like NS.
-
hate to bring up a dead topic, but are you going to at least realese the prview or beta?
