LATEST DOWNLOAD ( Beta 8 ): >> HERE <<


Updated/Fixed this version ( b8 ):

• Gas hurting people fixed ( broken in b7 )
• Announcer voices fixed ( also broken in b7 )

Updated/Fixed last version ( b7 ):

• Keycard added! Thanks to Dr. Satan for the model, and CrazyCarl for the propper tool that it was compiled with!
• Various texturing changes and fixes
• Foyer lifts are no longer team owned [experimental change!]

So, yeah, I decided to port Rock2. Originally this just started as me doing the lua for when Gambit got chance to finish his remake, but I figured I might as well port the map as well.

Anyways, since Gambit's doing his remake, and I don't really want to step on any toes, I figured just doing a quick and dirty port would be good enough for now. Don't expect the map itself to be much more than functional. But, It will be playable.

Anyways, still got a few things to clear up Lua wise, so probably tommorow I'll get round to having a beta test, though thats really more for the Lua than the actual map.

Thanks to the playtesters who have helped with getting the map into shape - bully, ricey cake, ostrich eggs, that evil bastard with a mustache (squeek. :D), gwarsbane, TheGame, g00se, Epidemic, and Partial (also for the use of his server), and a few others who I forget, sorry :(

Special thanks to Dr. Satan for the keycard model, and CrazyCarl, who'se propper tool made it possible :)

Gambit is gonna chop of ya dick!

No!

Better not release this then.

dont listen to ricey :P , give us rock2, anyway his version seems polished, ur is just a port for plp to have fun till the proper version cames out, i dont see a problem with that. Look at ksour, destroy 2fort they all had previous port versions : )

Want to build sgs in the water so bring it on!!

I wasn't being serious zE :)

But yeah, thats the idea behind doing this. That, and getting the Lua for this style of map out there for other mappers to use.

And then.....

:mrgreen:

btw just saw the pictures lol, and the texturing looks good : D, good job

Nice!

And now you can get to work on Cilento again! =p

Just had a quick blast on this and

IT ROCKS !! :p

w00t! i think it's about time to start playing again.

Beta 1 released! Link in the first post.

We finally have a rock2 :)

Yep.

BTW, I'm now gonna call you Lomax instead of thiz.

WOW!
cant wait to play this online, Do you got a model of a key or something? When i saw this map on lan i really thougth of the good old times in tfc haha nice.

Hope there will come more maps when ff_rock2(dev) is finshed always loved the theme

No key, unfortunatly. I just used a flag for now. Ricey's working on getting me the TFC model though :)

haha really cool rock2 is the best:mrgreen: How hard is it to port a map from tfc to ff?

Ahh, I guess it depends. Rock2, while big, wasn't really that complex, so this was pretty easy, even though I started from scratch (no decompile).

A map like, say, dustbowl, would be a bit more aukward to do, I'd think.

My name is Partial, and I approve this map, and this alternative link for DOWNLOAD. ( I just hope Pon does too. ;) )

Great map, Thank you so much Pon.

Congratulations on becoming the savior of FF.

Sure, more mirrors the better. I'll add it to the OP when I'm not stuck on the crappy PS3 browser :P

Is it the updated b1? I made some lua changes since the playtest on your server,

I couldn't have done it without.... myself. ;)

Yea, uploaded the old one first then I learned how to read... :mrgreen:

:D

[OT]The Game just told me that both red and blue front doors weren't working properly, they would open half way and then stop.

Hmm, not seen that happen on other servers, possibly it might be some sort of interference from a plugin?

I have seen the prematch plugin (i think, forget exactly:() produce some odd effects on maps that work fine otherwise, but I dunno if thats still a potential problem anymore.

It wasn;t during prematch, so. I also don't know what plugins scuzzy is running besides scuzztools. I dont see how that plugin would effect the door.

Yeah, I guess so. But then I dont see why it would only happen on the OT server...

Bah :(

I did download from Ricey's link in a PM. ;) Issue with LUA maybe?

People said it was working fine, maybe it just started to happen mid-way through the map?

Just played it for a while and it was fine, everyone said that every time they've played it's been fine.

Two things they mentioned, they'd like the search lights back and something about a grenade pack that was missing outside the spawns... not sure where/what that one was.

Scuzzy

b2 should have searchlights if pon ISNT SLACKING!!! b3, i'll have the signage to him.

It can't have been an Lua issue, the door in question is a basic touch activated func_door - not tied to Lua in any way in b1 (though it is now in b2, activation triggers so it opens before you touch).


b1 was a general mechanics test and little more. As ricey said, b2 does have searchlights, and they're working perfectly :)

Not sure about the grenade pack. As far as I recall, there was only one per team (in the spawn on the side of the base with the key), and that's in.

Yeah, couldn't be LUA if they are standard. I got nothing my man, I did tell everyone that if it happens again they are to all swear so we know the time of the occurance and I can check the logs for any plugin/server issues. As soon as I said that the entire server began to laugh about what a mess that'll be. :)

Scuzzy

Concur on the packs, I couldn't think of where he was thinking... I told him to post here.

Scuzzy

Gotta be there for that happening :)

Beta 2 released!
