Beta Version of MY Map is Ready

[Beezer]

OK, I've just posted the first beta version of my Onslaught map for UT2004. You can get it Here
It's not quite finished, but it's close enough to get some constructive (or not) feedback. Here's the latest pics:

Looks good

I say we give it some serious [MU] testing on the server tomorrow.

I have uploaded the map to the server & the redirect

WooHooo!
I know there might be some issues still with vehicles getting struck at places so if you notice that let me know which vehicle and which object it's getting stuck on. Also, if you try hard enough, you can probably fly/drive though the wall of the tunnels -- still trying to fix that.
Also some feedback on the hills would be great -- too steep? not steep enough? What weapons work best at each of the nodes? Anyway... you've got the idea...

[KvHagedorn]

You did an awesome job, Beez.. great map!

[Marshmallowman]

It was fun playing against the bots, but that last red node is very hard to capture and then have a shot at the base(VERY HARD)

I think its quite cool how raptors are virtually sitting ducks once they get over a certain height...damn bot laser gunners it adds a nice character to the game with low flying raptors bumping into hills trying to avoid flack.

I did manage to fly through the right hand wall going into the red base tho...

very cool map, it would be good to have a big session with a lot of players..

[Beezer]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see if I can fix the wall collision. I also noticed that the last node is very hard to capture -- I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a not. More suggestions are welcome...

More Mantas!
Great map for buzzing around and launching off the tops of the dunes

[KvHagedorn]

Let's see what happens if you put a leviathan in there. You could take ot out later, but that would be kinda interesting.

Oh, and those ramps are pretty easy to get stuck on.

Congratulations on creating an excellent map ...
I've been playing with/against the bots and it's great ... very challenging ... just what is wanted !

How about adding a trik or three ... ? ........ just for getting around when there are no Mantas available.

I also tried the map a few nights ago. I must say that it really rocks.

One thing that frustrated me to no end was that getting an AVRIL was darn near impossible. There were so many raptors and so few AVRIL's available (especially at the red base) when you spawn. As for the ramps, I must say they look really nice, but they are very easy to get stuck on.

Case in point, off the red base, the ramp to the right as you exit, if you could remove the "edges" as you get closer to the end of the ramp. That would help alot. I guess it would help anywhere a jump or high speeds are.

That is all for now. Keep up the great work!

There are 2 weapons lockers in each base. The one up by the scorpions & the track has an AVRiL in it. There's a jump pad on that side of the base to help you get up there.

I personally, did not find a shortage of AVRiL's in the map.

[Beezer]

Yeah, those ramps are a bit of a pain. I thought I had them adjusted well enough, but indeed I still noticed scorpions getting stuck -- I need to work on that more.
As SitFlyer pointed out, there are AVRILs in the map -- 3 locations on each side. One at the Scorpion ramp of each base; one at the Scorpion platform of the first node (nice and high for good aim); and another on the hill where you land if you use the slingshot (maybe I should give them a bit more ammo).

I'm contemplating replacing the Scorpion that is paired with the tank at the end run of the long track. Thinking about putting a Manta there instead. What do you all think? I'll also try the Leviation instead of the tank, but I'm skeptical...

[SitFlyer]

Just wanted to let you know.......
every time I open WebAdmin & no one is playing, I put it on your map

Sweet Frank! With all the good things that are being said, you may get a call from the big boys! No I still dont have the game or cable yet!
