ff_tiger, a tiger remake.
 

Are you guys serious? No one is making tiger? It's not in any of the in-progress lists and a search returns nothing. I'm surprised that no one's jumped on this one yet.

I really didn't want to jump on the remake bandwagon, because there's so many original ideas to be made, but I just can't pass this one up. And besides, it just wouldn't be FF without tiger.

Well, if no one else is doing it, I'll remake tiger. I've got some experience with the expansive city 3D skybox, which go great with tiger.
I'll see if I can dig up a decompiler (for map dimensions) an' get in touch with Arne 'cyNic' Lund.

Update edit: I plan on making the map dark, rainy, and foggy. This should decrease visibility to the point where sniping won't be such a problem as it was in the original. I liked sniping in the original, but seriously, if you didn't want to snipe the map became difficult to play.

I love maps that look good - like tiger. I never really liked playing it, but damn it looked good.

Yeah, Sniping was really good on that map :)

What the fuck is tiger :|
Another obscure map that's only played by yanks?

I was never that crazy about tiger tbh, though it was pretty. the gameplay wasn't that hot, though.

wasn't tiger the 'sequel' to totalwar? I'm much rather see totalwar... is someone working on that, I can't remember?

totalwar was great... when playing w/ a buddy who's on your lan and you're both on the same server but on opposite teams and he holds the enemy respawn open while you just keep tossing blue pipes down the stairs. ah, fun times; the mapper was an idiot though.

Well, the whole reason I'm remaking this map is because it can probably look so pretty, besides it being like the most popular custom TFC map evar (in pubs). I sure hope I can deal with the sniping though.

Update progress: I've decompiled tiger, started on the layout of ff_tiger, then fallen asleep. Just as soon as I find some apropriate music to jam out to, I'll recommence work.

you talk like you're gonna have it done sometime tomorrow afternoon :P

remake Osaka!!

god, no

god knows i want to break freee!

rofl!! classic

Tiger is a top map! We used to have some ace Community nights on that map at bygames :)

I hate the map name.

remake gleadheirch (spell?!) :P

Maps done.

...

...

Nah, I'm just joshn' ya.

The lighthouse I made earlier for ff_harbor is done though. It just took some Ctrl+C and a bit of Ctrl+V.

Must be an American thing - I've never even seen the map over here...

GL with it though. :S

I've seen pictures of tiger remade for CS:S, so it's out there somewhere. But tiger is the best 5v5 map ever. |-ScK-| destroyed everyone on it.

Yeah, it was fun 5v5. It sucked otherwise because people would go sniper.

Do something about it man!

With your leet coding skills you could insert zeros and ones somewhere...

like create a server variable that keeps track of who's bhoping and who's not. If you haven't behopped in say 2 minutes you get banned from the server.

!!! Best idea ever !!!

Glenhoddle_r was a great map! Never could learn to spell it properly tho

Oops, I accidentially made Mackrel instead of tiger.

Mackrel is kind of a CSS map right now but it'll be a FF map as soon as FF is out.

A very fun map indeed.
Here's some stuff and pics.

You simply must make the tank turret operational :)


Ok, that'd probably be too powerful, still fun though :P

It is operational (in the original tiger). Bit of a bugger to get in and out of though, but great for mowing down the enemy :D

If I remember, just the machine gun turret was operational; I was suggesting the actual tank turret :)

Combined with Source physics, it would own all.

Ah i remember this map, so much fun! :D

I'm discovering that making someone else's map is hard, because you can't visualize it in your head as well.

But progress continues and I should have it done eventually.

P.S. Using a func_precipitation to make snow doesn't ever work, does it? Will it perhaps be fixed in FF? I should go officially suggest this.

Additional: Does anyone know how to moddell? I need a tank. A tiger tank to be specific.

If anyone wants to make me one of these that you can climb in and play around in, I'd be happy. I'll be damned if I make one out of brushes.

I would if I had time :(

Does DoD:S have any tank models you can steal? :twisted:

Like maybe this?

<3, Jiggles.

Uh, how do I get models from DoD into HL2? I've got all the props_vehicles files extracted from the gcache, so then what?

Screenshots!!

Is it just me or does this look fucking rad?

Also, I found one of these...

I guess HL2 didn't like my map as much as I did :P

I told a programmer but he just ignored me...

Now what the fuck do I do?!

Quite rad.

That's awesome man! Your skills have improved tenfold since you started posting here, great work!

I love the concept of a foggy map, it will help take out the advantage snipers have on this map and it might end up playable. Just make sure there are still good places to conc.

That looks wicked. Now please finish it! Don't give up!

It does look rad, yessir.

looks great, but how well does it play?
