QUAD_TYRANT

[Tyrant]

Yeah making a quadmap. Aiming for a very clean look and I think I achieved a theme.

The video is encoded with a mp4 codec so if you want to watch the video play it with VLC player!

enjoy!

[Dr.Satan]

Moved to maps section.

Also can you allow pyro in your .lua if it is not already? I think pyro with quad would be quite fun!

[Player]

And maybe not possible :P

[Dr.Satan]

And maybe not possible :P

maybe, but I doubt it...people really under estimate the pyro skillz!

[Tyrant]

oh btw is therea better way to do demos in FF so they dont seem so sluggish. I know it's not comp.

startmovie demoname raw

is what i do. But is there something else??

[Dr.Satan]

are you trying to watch the demo or record it? Like make a movie?

[Lt Llama]

Yea, simple but I bet you been scrolling those Hammer textures a long time to find the right combo :). I like the look of it so far. Only issue I have is the water color. Not enough contrast or not lit up or something. Maybe try some soft light under the water?

Will it be impossible to conc you think?

[Tyrant]

Will it be impossible to conc you think?


Pretty much anything is possible to conc but this will require more concs than it seems. As for water, Might just be the screenies. I kind of had the idea of keeping it end day into night time feel. Which is why it's orange-ish around the windows!


And I mean when making a demo into TGA for a movie

OH and im aiming for less pipes but more controlled pipes. Because Min'in shit is so cool.

[Dr.Satan]

run demoui that will let you have control over your demo in ways you can never imagine!

[Tyrant]

ty sir.

[Player]

people really under estimate the pyro skillz!The pyro doesn't have the power behind his weapon(s) to allow him to juggle effectively; unless, of course, quad damage improves the flamethrowers push. If it does, wow how boring would that be? Just flaming your way through a jump :S

Only issue I have is the water color. Not enough contrast or not lit up or something.If you are commenting on image 2 and 3, those wavey textures are sand, not water...unless you have inside access, which is most likely :P

Nice map so far, tyrant :P

When you release it I will distort your map's .lua so I can conc LOL

[Dr.Satan]

Agreed that would be suxors! but no the IC should give enough push to allow you to juggle similar to a RPG, just might be harder...idk we'll see!

[Tyrant]

Yeah it's black sand and who said anything about me leaving medic out.

*EGO TIME* I am ^vi, .d5|, -eC-, -fC-, -zG- etc. You name it I'm in it! Why would i leave out my precious concs. lulz

[Player]

I READ QUAD LOL

I am a player who hates CONCMAPS that cater for QUAD! Now, if they were named something LESS SPECIFIC (skillmap_strafefun2 LOL), I would not be bothered by it :P

Examples:

skillmap_tyrant - caters for both quad and conc skills (better prefix required :P)
conc_tyrant - caters for conc skills only
quad_tyrant - caters for quad skills only

[TheWetMule]

just be happy we have things added in you perfectionist!

The way I see it, is, anything with the conc_ prefix was intended for concers, just a little added quad so you can't complain if something isn't possible etc, vice versa for quad :P

[keep the flames out]

[Tyrant]

Yeah not intended for concers but thats why I have medic for the same reason?!?!

whapaaaaaaaaa

[DD`]

Looking good, I like nice simple themes. The screen shots don't do it justice imo (needs more AA for a start :-P)

[Tyrant]

yeah you really gotta play it over da ss's

[EquilibriuM]

im looking forward to playing this cant wait so hurry th fuck up! :D

[Tyrant]

I think I am going to go even slower now.

[Lt Llama]

Keep up the good spirit ;)

If 4x push IC isn't enough, just keep staking multipliers. 8x push ftw! Hell, maybe even 20x!

=D

[TheWetMule]

If we do that, why even include pyro? It'll be an easier soldier without a reload :P.

[Firefox11]

What? Nah, Soldier gets 2x push only, no quad. And Demo gets only 1/2x ;D Now I've understood what you where saying =o I think the Pyro has a slower firing rate, plus the arc. And it doesn't need to be 8x, t'was an example =D

Wait...

This could be used to make a "easy" and "hard" mode for the map! Like, easy: 4x Soldier, 8x Pyro, 4x Demo, etc. Hard, they only get half the boost (2x, 4x, 2x respectively). And then, "Insane", with only a quarter, so only the Pyro would get a boost.

And "Impossible", with 1/2 the normal push ;D 8 pipes on a 3 pipe jump ftw!

[Tyrant]

it was actually pretty hard to land that in 3 lol the hole was gay.

[EquilibriuM]

We are gay for you tyrant where is our map :D

[Tyrant]

Yeah you know I have been known to speak my mind and that's why a lot of people choose not to talk to me. When you say things like "where is our map" and "go faster" I don't appreciate it very much.

Wheres your map? Why aren't you helping the community? Why aren't you mapping? Why are you waiting for me to make maps?

If you want this community to go someplace you can't expect one person to take it there.

Get what I'm saying? The map will be ready when it's ready I know it's nice and pleasant to here that theres a new map coming but please I have a life as well.

I'm not a kid anymore I cant sit here all day and map 24/7.

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm not trying to be cold either it's just annoying.

On another note there are 3 jumps currently. 2 Jumps have been made since my first post.

[Player]

Rofl

How many jumps do you think you will include?

[EquilibriuM]

i wasnt being serious, thats why i put a smily behind my 2 post but if i offended you ide like to apologize. Now on the serious note i hope you finish this map as soon as you are able too, i'm just greatfull you mapping again. :D

[Dr.Satan]

Got any screenies lying around you can tease us with?

[Tyrant]

id post some SS but unfortunately steam is unavailable atm.

[Tyrant]

Alright steam is working again and here is some ss's

j4 is done also please remember these are only screenshots and screenshots don't do a map justice sometimes.

[Dr.Satan]

nice!

[Player]

Jump 2 looks fun, but I can't make sense of jump 3 with those screenshots (I got lost at image 2 :P)

Looking forward to playing it :)

[Firefox11]

I think I've figured out 3 =O

You go forward, in S shape (first screenshot) and then fallin another S (2nd pic). Then, you've got to boost yourself up inside the block you see in the middle of the 2nd pic, and do a strafe to the right (3rd pic, looking backwards). Fall through the hole and there I got lost. I assume you have to boom yourself up through another hole?

Which means: I don't think I'll even do jump #2 lol!

[EquilibriuM]

looks very nice tyrant keep up the good work MANG.

[Tyrant]

I actually missed posting an SS from jump 3. From the hole you down and across much similar to jump1 then you go up into the hole.

[totoro^vi]

I READ QUAD LOL

I am a player who hates CONCMAPS that cater for QUAD! Now, if they were named something LESS SPECIFIC (skillmap_strafefun2 LOL), I would not be bothered by it :P

Examples:

skillmap_tyrant - caters for both quad and conc skills (better prefix required :P)
conc_tyrant - caters for conc skills only
quad_tyrant - caters for quad skills only

But without maps like this we'd be without essone's sexy quadrocket conc demos!

And lol @ tyrant, any excuse to make an avi =p

[Player]

But I am not a fan of rocket jumping!

Tyrant, I have one request: please, for poop's sake, do not spend three years on an end room! :P

[Tyrant]

So you want a nice end room??!?

[Player]

I don't care about end rooms, but some people do; I could quite happily live with a tiny box big enough for one, whilst others like to splash about in a pool, dance in a heart etc LOL

I just don't want you to delay your map's release for the sake of a nice end room :P

[EquilibriuM]

Just make the end a bathroom with a huge turd floating in a toilet.
And maybe have it say gj now do it in reverse.

I really miss maps that you could unlock it in reverse!

[TonyCip]

Nice. Looks great :)

[totoro^vi]

Uh oh, the patented Tyrant end room incomming.

[cownaetion]

Hmm....interesting :)

[Tyrant]

Uh oh, the patented Tyrant end room incomming.

LOL oh man should i?

[Tyrant]

wewt

[totoro^vi]

I'm complaining about your Canadian ping in every shot, lol.

[Player]

Interesting!

Any information on the team setup / possibilities? Combo jumps and reverse? Or basic forward and teleport?

[Tyrant]

fw end. might do rev

[Dr.Satan]

yay!

[EquilibriuM]

yea plz consider rev. tyrant, so takes longer to beat it so to speak, and more fun.

[Tyrant]

Alright, keeping you guys informed here.

Scrapped a few jumps added some easier ones, added some different colored lights for underneith water. Changed jump order so it flows from easy-hard

Currently sitting at 1-5 jumps and when I get home from work hopefully gonna start six.

I hope I find some time.

Added and running to 85.114.140.42:27015 Euroskillz FF 2.0 - SKILLZ - www.euroskillz.eu

[Jester]

I guess I beat it? One of the jumps doesn't have a teleport at the end?

EDIT: It's jump 7 that doesn't have an end teleport.

[Tyrant]

screenshots or i simply dont download :oops:


good dont download it.

[Jester]

Nevermind I thought it was 14 jumps each way, but apparently its 7 each.

Just got finished backwards also, great map!

[Dr.Satan]

I'm going to merge this with your WIP post. Please update the OP on that post so that people don't get confused or ask about it on down the line.

Plus that one has SS's! :lol:

[Tyrant]

The SS's in this topic are old and some jumps have been removed. Some of them sit the same though.

[Dr.Satan]

then update, but having both threads will confuse people eventually.

Also I would change your OP title (which will change the thread title) to be [RELEASED] instead of [WIP]
