ff_tiger, a tiger remake.

o_nezumi · 10-19-2005, 08:45 PM

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.

Jiggles · 10-19-2005, 11:29 PM

Yeah, Sniping was really good on that map

What the fuck is tiger

Another obscure map that's only played by yanks?

o_jinx · 10-20-2005, 12:54 AM

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?

Mulchman MM · 10-20-2005, 03:02 AM

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.

o_nezumi · 10-20-2005, 04:15 AM

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.

o_jinx · 10-20-2005, 04:53 AM

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

Maps done.

Technically I need to make the loading screen schematic still, although vtf edit won't work on this computer OR on my other computer on which it is freshly installed.

I also need to rip the textures for the tiger tank, but GCFscape won't work either!

I'm probably going to finish it all only to find out that pakrat doesn't work. Anyway, besides a full compile wich takes about a day, tiger is just about to be released, so assume the position.

Seeing as it's both GCFScape and VTF Edit that aren't working I'm going to ask....You have .net framework 2.0 installed right? They both require it.

I'm following the links and downloading the thingy from microsoft.com that they point to, but I suppose I should make sure I'm getting the right thing.

Edit: Uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling the .net framework 2.0 didn't help

does crafty work?
