Allow use of ff_bases?

a_p3rson · 03-22-2010, 01:44 AM

I am a player of both FF and TF2. I really like the ff_bases map, and I was wondering: am I allowed to use this as a basis for a new map? It would be heavily changed, and I would specifically tag it as a map based off of this.

It's an official ff map which has had a fair few people work on it, myself being the last to rebuild it from redux's and some other old dev's design (cant remember who started it). Just to note that I wasn't the only one that worked on this map!

Personally I have no problem with you basing another map off this. There's nothing to stop you basing new maps of others, monkeydown_l (?) from tfc was monkey&sd2 put together.

It is nice that you asked, but I dont see any problems in taking heavy influence from maps you like!

Mmk. Anyone else?

btw: Elmo, are you the elmo in iG on gMod?

EDIT: Is it possible, Elmo, if I ask VERY NICELY, that I could have the original .vmf of ff_bases, because I am having trouble decompiling it? Please?

i would vote in that poll, but it reallly depends if the map is for tf2 or ff lol

It would be for TF2. The bases for FF is really good as is right now. I just need to adjust for TF2-specific gameplay things, and to slightly modify the map's build.

The bases vmf is included with the game in the FortressForever/source/maps/ directory. Just make sure to give proper credit.

No problem here, and we'd love to see it. If you want a place to work on your beta maps for TF2 we host them for a number of people in the FF community (both TF2 and FF versions) at http://www.oldtimersclan.org, we look forward to seeing what you come up with. What would be nice is that if you put a billboard or two within the map to say that the map was based on an FF map, with our website address attached if you're willing.

Ya, I was planning on putting on a few group servers as a beta test, O-T was one of them.

Now I need help with Hammer. When I import the .vmf into Hammer, I get this:

Why?

Also, TF2 isn't showing up in the Source SDK main window as a game option. I have reset the configs, refreshed the configs, everything. Help!

You need to set the paths in Hammer's options, silly!
