New Map: Blackout-b1 first playable version
« on: May 28, 2009, 02:01:39 am »
Finally, after much spammage in the random dev. shots thread, and over a year in the making, the map 'blackout' is ready for a first release!  This is an objective-based map created for the advanced map patch coded by ==Troy==, and thus requires a custom .qvm in order to function correctly.  The .qvm and source code will be released later, with more features, so, currently, the only server that can play this map is the Funzone Ojectives server: 62.75.216.230:30721

Credits: (from the readme)
 
     Brain : brushwork and layout
     Face : some brushwork and weapon racks
     Thorn : code testing, and initial entity prefabs
     UniqPhoenix : ALL current entities and lots of other things
     superpie : awesome explosion particles
     Troy : coding the QVM that makes this map possible, and other things
     Survivor : Documentation
     Einstein : Blackout webhost
     c-ron : Blackout logo   



Basic objectives:

Humans are dropped in via helicopter to destroy the reactors and pump systems.  Aliens must guard the reactors and pumps from being destroyed.  There is no buying or evolving, humans simply pick up weapons off of racks, and aliens jump through tunnels that cause them to evolve and land in the map.  In order to pick up something or activate a switch, the 'use armoury' (q) key is used. Since the humans are dropped into the map, they have no base, and therefore no reason to camp. Repeaters can be built in certain areas of the map to activate human objectives, such as unlocking weapons, and activating force fields. The aliens win if the humans fail to complete the objectives within a certain amount of time.

I checked it out very briefly yesterday. It looks really fun. It also looked pretty big, but new maps always seem large until I get to know them. What would you guys say the optimum player count for this map is? It looked like you'd at least want like 5v5, although c-ron said you guys had an epic 4v4 already. Also, the slightly hidden surprises are pretty cool. c-ron psyched out a  mara yesterday, when he apparently did a suicide dive as a Human and ended up with the jetpack. The mara, unfortunately, was completely without that option. Epic fake-out lawlz. Why I wasn't taking screenies is something I can't explain, except to say I was too awestruck to reach the key in time.

+1 for all concerned; awesome job

Nice map! played it earlier and the only problem i saw with it was people being lame and camping the force fields. For this you have to use teamwork, unless the other team is really stupid.

ok some things i've found.


1. core has 2500 hp? way to much knock down 500-100 maybe to make it more fair if aliens camp top....

2.aleins will build infront and on explosives so you cant blow em up, no-build clip plz?

3. maybe you should have a *tip board, which is a board in the same blcak box as map, that tells you to use team work this and that are destructable aliens cant open ff's etc....   it would make less "wtfs???" go around...

Core is fine at 2500hp, maybe a little too weak. What it requires is something to symbolise it being destroyed ( Change colour the further damaged etc )

Also, it's probably safer to use 85.25.253.112 instead of 85.25.135.50. The 85.25.135.50 is known to have entirely unexplainable issues.

I just played this, and I really like the idea!
However, since you asked for feedback, i wont disappoint you! (:
  • Tyrants are insanely overpowered and can easily take out several humans if they camp some hotspots the humans need to pass. Maybe you can just remove them or make the respawn time longer?
  • 45min is pretty long for a game, maybe you could lower it a bit? (I realize this might as well be server based, but since there's only one sever it deserves to be mentioned.)
  • The tutorial system is really confusing. It would be nice with waypoints in different colors depending on which objective you plan to take on. When an objective is complete the waypoints for it should preferably disappear.
  • The weapon spawns are too hidden - While i realize this can be a design choice, most people will probably map all spawn in 1-2 days, resulting in a big disadvantage for the beginner.
  • Human buildpoints - Would add more strategy and be generally fun. Humans could build minibases with nodes for fast spawning, medistations and turrets. This would be specifically useful in the switch-door-room, where humans seem to get pinned down by covering aliens.
