Underwater Map Possible? - Page 2

o_loader · 01-30-2007, 06:37 PM

Well, sounds cool and everything but TFC is meant to be a fast paced game. I don't think it would be as popular as many other maps.

Also, would there be any FPS issues with this?

it would be cool to have tubes that blast you out of the water, over an island seperating the two bases, and back into the water on the other side, making all the mid-map fighting aerial based. call it ff_dolphin or ff_salmon

I would agree partly my fault though i cannot decide on a layout for my map (still) so I am considering doing a simple take on mach's layout which I've already done some work on. The bases obviously need to be bigger ceilings higher The layout needs some tweaking too to make it a bit more fun for defence who struggle on this map 3 easy short entrances I'm not surprised

I think you guys need to release the game asap!!

You can't use the flamethrower underwater, and that's about it... all the other weapons work normally.

um I think people are assuming I mean an entirely underwater map this has been tried in tfc and it was poorly made.. as a gamer I understand how appauling this suggestion is but...

All I'm saying is that the mid-map is water; both bases are underwater but "pressurised" so the only way to get to enemy is swim.. however TFC being a fast paced game I reckon people would get bored with the time it takes to swim (across midmap) so we'd have to think of another way to speed the time it takes as they wont be able to bunny hop or jump off a concussion grenade.. now your the mapper thats up to your enginuity..

I also hinted that they're maybe other ways to enter the base rather than flat horizontal pools (like in submarines) which could easily be defended by a HWG or soldier standing at the edge..

If I was a mapper I'd be intrigued by underwater bases but whatever floats your boat I suppose. Lookathis: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kfDHDDIFF6k

G-Mod 10 is SO much better...

o_nezumi · 02-01-2007, 04:34 AM

I've toyed around before with the idea of making a map with 2 bases in a sea of shallow water. The outside area would have to be very wide open, with lots of launch ramps everywhere for people to fly around (and land safely) with.

o_own3r · 02-01-2007, 09:54 PM

Water lags, more so when there's lots it needs to be kept to a minimum not used to excess, besides all it does is slow gameplay and make you vulnerable anyway.

and this one is completely wrong, water SURFACES cause lag, but not the water volume, if the volume whould lag, than is that the same for the env_fog_controll.
basicly you don't need water in this kind of maps, you only need to change the player movement to swimming in certain areas, look at the map DEEP from ut2k4, that has triggers at the water entrances, if you take out a peice of the wall you so you can go inside the base while swimming, you will be able to swim where the other players walk!

I can't beleive this thread is still alive.

I've seen threads with great ideas in them die much faster than this one.

You poor thing. Didn't anyone reply to your 'great idea' thread?

Apparently not judging by some of the replies. (I am of course replying to the bad idea, and not to you being a person with feelings)

Edit: Have Sh4x posts been editted by an admin or something?

o_sh4x · 02-07-2007, 03:20 PM

You guys are right, this idea isn't bad at all.

Sorry for beeing so negative. I think I'm really annoyed by the fact that time is passing by really fast and FF isn't coming out.

o_fonfa · 02-08-2007, 04:50 PM

sentry guns are totally broken underwater. they don't have any kind of movement restriction and they see through water fog.
