dustbowl!

o_kastofsna · 12-12-2005, 01:51 AM

i'll be making a dustbowl map for FF. haven't really got into too much info on this mod yet (just found out about it a few days ago), so are there any tips i should know for DB? such as, "no, you can't make a dustbowl-style map"

Good on ya buddy. Will you be doing a straight conversion, or will you add some new areas?

Hopefully you'll make it more biased towards defence. It's so much more fun that way.

one thing i'll have is ONLY ONE entrance to the tunnel on round 2

as for the defense idea, i never really liked that alternate paths would open up after a certain amount of time had passed in the first two areas. maybe they should be det-able instead (and re-detable by the defense)?

some other ideas:

- a community gren pack on level 3--a good idea?
- speaking of grens, should the gren pack on level 2 be moved further back from the tunnel? the spam can be overwhelming at times. maybe to counter this, i'll add another SG spot or something
- how are the concing and gren jump physics in FF? or HL2 in general....that could change the map a lot

other ideas will pop into my head

Well, dustbowl's kind of a staple. If you get just anyone making it, it could suck really bad, and that'd be bad. Y'see?

o_ma|2io · 12-12-2005, 02:37 AM

Dude it's being worked on already by Zouave.

it's not like i'm making it officially or anything. i'm just making it...and was asking for suggestions

**mervaka** · 12-12-2005, 02:40 AM

anything's better than the lame 'spam the fuck out of the choke points' way of defence. id like to see this change to proper defence.

o_ma|2io · 12-12-2005, 03:23 AM

You cant change the map that had it's own league. Come on it's just not right. If dustbowl turns out bad I'll sue my grandma.

Circuitous · 12-12-2005, 03:30 AM

No worries, Zouave's doing dustbowl and this guy's doing an alternate version.

does he have a thread with it setup? havent found anything posted by user zouave

o_fragile · 12-12-2005, 03:50 AM

who said he was doing dustbowl? dustbowl-style map and dustbowl are totally different

i tried to make one that was like pompeii, where you start in a town at the base of a volcano, and you work your way up to the top of the volcano, where cp 3 or whatever would be.

^anybody can steal my idea. kthx.

He's a member of the dev team, they don't make threads for their maps.

Well, he was talking about changes to dustbowl he thought he'd make.

good stuff. is that (and the other ones) going to be released as the mod is?

Circuitous · 12-12-2005, 04:02 AM

That's the guess.

o_kastofsna · 12-12-2005, 04:36 AM

boy that'd be quite an opening day lineup

o_nezumi · 12-12-2005, 05:58 AM

I know I'd like to see more dustbowl-style maps myself, so I'd encourage you to make some sort of one anyway.

o_salty milkshake · 12-12-2005, 08:35 AM

Maybe see if you can get some advice from Zouave though, he's the daddy when it comes to AvD maps.
