[REQUEST] Warpath

[Desyphur]

Someone needs to remake this map. I mean, TF2 got it before us (their version sucks though)

[SkinkHero]

I support this idea.

I've been experimenting in hammer, but nothing concrete yet.
If someone wanted to properly do a port, that would be awesome (keeping it in the same theme though).

I think with the faster base speeds and game play diffs the maps should be slightly tweaked to adjust for them. But even a port over would be great.

I kinda found Warpath to be almost too big. I'd be interested to see how it plays without expanding on it at all.

The bad bit:

As I recall, someone was working on a warpath port long before FF was even released, but he and it seems to have dropped off the face of the planet.

The good bit:

I'll do it.

But I'd like to make sure that o_osiris (whom, I believe, was originally working on a port) isn't still around, that no one else is doing this. I don't want to step on any toes.

I should have a direct geometry port of warpath running in FF in the next couple days, depending on my free time. Don't worry, I don't plan on making a shit looking replica of the original when all is said and done. I've been mapping for seven years and I think I can give you guys something worthy of the name warpath. Structural/layout changes might also be made, depending on community input, but I don't think it'd be neccessary. I agree, warpath was just a tad too big.

So ya, if I shouldn't be doing this for whatever reason, please speak up!

[Desyphur]

I haven't seen osiris in forever, and I haven't heard of anyone working on it. Do it man...dooooo iittttt.

[Dr.Satan]

Yeah...Osiris hasn't been around in a LONG time.

And for you lazy folks who don't want to click on the link:

Don't need to change structure. Keep it sunny/deserty. Don't make it look all mine town-ish either. It'd be cool if you could keep the beefy architecture but update it somehow. Good luck if you decide to go ahead.

Last I heard, Orisis (now FullMonty or someone) didn't mind someone else re-doing. Always better to check though.

[noeffeks]

I was just thinking I wanted to play this map today, and had forgotten what it was called spent 20 min looking, and then came to FF to request and viola.

Awesome.

SkinkHero, I saw in this thread from quite awhile back where you said that you were going to port it? Were you still working on that? I've ported a good deal of the original geometry but don't want to move forward if you are making a warpath as well. I think it's a shame when a game, especially a mod, gets thousands of versions and betas and remakes of one map. Makes it confusing for new players and splinters things.

If you aren't, then yes, I plan on keeping the original theme but updating it and then possibly drizzling on some awesomesauce.

[Desyphur]

Awesome sauce? Now I can't wait :O

I agree totally. Well I've not really ported much into new hammer and I don't know how to LUA it up, so if you've started on it then you should go ahead and do the remake.

The reason I gave a load of suggestions is that I like this map a lot and would like it to stay very faithful to the original design. I also want a lot of FF architecture in it (bulky, fluent, etc.).

Good luck on the remake - if you have any pictures of it could you PM me?

Speaking of the LUA, I wrote warpath LUA for the Mongoose's map Waterhazard, and wrote up the following article on the wiki detailing it's usage: Link to article.

I don't know if you plan to write your own LUA, or if you already have, but if you need any help using the code I wrote, feel free to drop me a PM/etc.

[Mr. Happy]

Thanks for the offer Pon. I know zero lua, so I really appreciate it. I'll definitely let you know if I need any help!

Warpath decompiled alot messier than I expected it to, so I'm still cleaning it up. I'll be posting a new thread as soon as there is something worth showing.

[own3r]

This is a good map, making it less of a walk from the first spawn to the bridge would be a definite bonus.

[chilledsanity]

Is anyone working on this still? Obviously mappers should take as much time as they need, but I'd love to see some works in progress. After dustbowl, warpath was my favorite map by far.

[Mr. Happy]

*Raises hand*
I am involved with about half a dozen maps and mod's at the moment though, so the work is slow going. Rest assured though, I've made immense progress and some people with lower standards might even be inclined to release at the stage I am at.

Warpath will be around 100% custom materials sounds and models too, so it will take awhile.
Screenshots will come when I think they are worth looking at.

if you just decompiled and starting building from there the map is going to be worthless, rebuild EVERY brush. your going to get compile errors and fps problems out of the ass. that is not the way to do it.
