Tremulous Tower Defence Wars

[Rhez]

Hi guys. This would be my first ever map release:

PK3: http://rapidshare.com/files/272142135/map-ttdw_b1.pk3.html

Enjoy!

Layout's not too shabby, from what your screenshot shows, but tower defense doesn't really work with Trem

[Chomps123]

You should of made both sides different so people can get lost in the maze.
It would make things more interesting.

[Knowitall66]

Quick test found;
- Dretches were ignored by turrets (As long as they go along floor and don't jump)
- "Glass" is not a shader (You haven't included it's shader file)

Some Suggestions;
- Make it look nice (Even if it's an experimental map you should still detail it and use nice looking textures EG Alien section could be trisouped cave)
- You can texture sides of a brush differently (To get rid of the 'seems' in the glass)
- Instead of opaque Blue/Red texture why not use clip, you can't shoot through it but at least players will know whats killing them
- Doesn't really seem to be any real point in having players go through the spiral bit (As you can't build there)
- Maybe a wider corridoor (Aliens wont appreciate blockages)
- Beta 1, I would suggest this is more like Alpha 1

You're not supposed to build there, because that is the preparation hall (swastika hall), where you plan whether to rush yourself or rush as a group, etc
I will be concerned about the rest of your suggestions, thank you.

Did you test this map on the ''Create server'' button,on a normal Tremulous 1.1.0?I tried that,and it says shader not found,thats because your really not in a real server.Anywho,back at the KoRx2,not a single team won,until aliens fed humans to s3.In other words,its a good map,as long as the map flows with the players

Hmm


PK3: http://rapidshare.com/files/273396533/map-ttdw_b2.pk3.html
   Changes:
   - Increased space for spec space (spectators area)
   - Retextured alien base to make it look more natural
   - Both prep halls (preparation halls) have a simple patch mesh (one way wall) at their start, which means you can't go back to your base once you start attacking the opposing base
   - All simple patch meshes are now textured as glass (qer_glass) so then you know what and when the next wave is from your base (upper level) and know what is killing you from the opposing maze (lower level)
   - You can now build OM/RC on the upper level of your base
     - Aliens could also place eggs anywhere in their base now
   - Enlarged the map length and width by 1.25 times (kept outter and center walls same thickness) so then goons/rants could fit through prep hall etc
More info could be found in the readme (ttdw_b2.txt)

Double post for update:


PK3:
http://rapidshare.com/files/275781944/map-ttdw_b3.pk3.html

Changes:
- Tiny preparation halls; modifications...

Will it make things better?...

[Saturn]

Ouch! That map hurt my eyes for a bit 

Love the map design Rhez,Keep it up!

[Rhez]

Tiny update:

ttdw_b3a (same image used)
PK3: http://rapidshare.com/files/276290231/map-ttdw_b3a.pk3.html
Changes:
- spec space (spectators area) was weird, so I modified it a little
This won't affect any game play, therefore making it b3a ._.

Suggestions on futuristic ttdw so far:
- Make it look nice (details, structure)
- (Texture sides of a brush differently to) Get rid of the 'seems' in the glass
- Make both sides different (not like atcs)
- Different maze (might get lost)
- Easter eggs, trap doors
- Add in some towers for humans/aliens to stand in for defense
- Add in some buttons to push that have different effects (i.e. move in a block of water to slow down your attackers, or drop a floor panel, or just a kill switch)
- Build some defense tools into the map
- Make a larger central area that can be played in like normal
- Add doors at the start of the maze (instead of simple patch meshes)
- Add a skybox

[Rhez]

Updated version of ttdw:



PK3: http://www.speedyshare.com/155977315.html (less provocative!)

Changes:
- added skybox; thanks recorthe!
- deleted short prephalls and added in teleports; thanks recorthe!
- glass texture fixed - modified from the less common paint texture to the more common arachnid texture

[commander scrooge]

Great map, simple box map with a twist! The way you can get in but not out of the trenches is cool.  This is a perfect map for Pbot (expect it in paths package v5) great work Rhez!

use filefront or mediafire not rapidshare.com

[Rhez]

Don't talk about my old versions anymore, b4 is already released: http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=11960.0

[Rhez]

Beta 5 of ttdw:


PK3: http://www.speedyshare.com/545497619.html

Changes:
- moved floor lights a little higher
- moved front spawns (near xy origin) back
- added rails to prevent feasible falls
- added blocky words
- added another two teleports (teleports to arena)
- added an arena (dome (half sphere)) above bases to look at any action going on (glass texture)

Uh, why a new topic for this?

[CreatureofHell]

Uh, why a new topic for this?

true, spam your crap in the original topic please.

[Rocinante]

Yeah, there were three topics for this one map; instead of creating a new topic, edit your first post and change what you want to say (new levelshot, information, URL, whatever).. then post a new update to the thread with that information.  This way when you release a new version and edit the first post, the details of the previous version are still in the thread; plus, your thread gets the shiny "new" tag for those people who look for that, so they see that there's something new about your map/thread/etc.
