Will be up on server and downloadable soon

[Derdak2rot]

hehe , great :D

have to try it :)

[DeadMeatGF]

Sehr interessante, Herr Six ;)

Stars in the moon. *cough*
Looks like a ton of fun! :rockon:

Stars in the moon. *cough*Caused by light refraction in the atmosphere ;)

[JohnnySix]

Wow - cool to see people still check this forum! :joy:

lol, oh well - hopefully no-one will have time to stop and notice. ;)


I've added a beta download :

A few more routes than in the screens above, have fun!

[DeadMeatGF]

Downloaded - will give it a run this evening.
Where's the Thames? ;)

Too high poly - it'd have to be a blue oblong lol.

I even lowered the texture/polycount on the buildings around the edge to ensure it kept sub 350 polys in view.

If you cheat and fly you can get > 1k polys, but in gerneral play, there should only be the odd spike where it's ~300 + polygons in view.

Hopefully it'll play okay on older machines.

[DeadMeatGF]

Plays great on mine - but mine's not exactly old ... yet!

I've not had time to start getting into it - adding routes through aircontrol for example - but I enjoyed getting blasted off the edge to teleport back onto a w00tpad! Nice touch!
I found the superhealths and 'deemers although I wonder if one of each would do - not that I'll often play this with "normal" weapons!
Wasn't too sure about "splashing" to my death - seemed a bit out of place - and if you have the Superhealth (or even 100) it's nowhere near the instant death I'm used to in w00t.

I'll try and be a bit more constructive during the week ...

Haha....also could be due to the natural curvature of the earth.

Looks nice Johnny six

Wow - cool to see people still check this forum! :joy:

Evidently not enough, cause I missed this?? Hmmm!
Just don't seem to have enough time in a day anymore? ....O-well

Looks good J6, Maybe I'll have time to check it out. :serious:

[Lord Kafer]

Looks like I missed it too.

The invisible water death is pretty weird. If you really want to use a water zone, you know you can remove the entry fx and sfx and tweak the physics so that you don't suddenly stop.

I like the out-of-bounds teleport, but I think it could potentially be exploited on flag runs.

Also, the redeemers are sunk into geometry.

Other than that, pretty interesting. I'm glad you're still working on w00t for '99

[SuperApe]

Looks wootremendous, ... cat. :D

[DeadMeatGF]

I like the out-of-bounds teleport, but I think it could potentially be exploited on flag runs.I agree - but I think that's the point - if you know the map you get an edge, like the lower route on Phobosw00t and the "upper" route on Facingw00ts
Looks wootremendous, ... cat. :DIt is - and lots of fun.

[JohnnySix]

Looks wootremendous, ... cat. :D

It'll be on there tonight on the new expanded 12 player server! :rockon:

[DeadMeatGF]

I'll do my best for tonight, but I'm having "growing-up" issues with my eldest, and we need to get them sorted before the end of the day ...

Dorko - So I heard you like easter eggs.

... that's very cool J6 !!! Seems urban type themes are making a comeback lately :) :rockon:

Hehe, the map was made last may/june so I was ahead of the wave. ;)

Took a break from eyeballing numbers in the bulldog code and decided to fix the stars that could be seen through the moon on this one - and when making a masked shape to stick behind it to blend into the backdrop, I couldn't help but notice the shape of Dorko's avatar being a perfect fit. :D

[ViolentThief]

So far, looks good to me, maybe a bit brutal on missing the pads though. Found quite a nice path to take, but one mistake and squish. Perhaps there may be a way to reduce the amount of damage taken on impact (since changing paths mid way is almost certain d00m)?

YouTube - w00t me to the moon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SZBvVtpi8Y):p Awesome!
I would have responded sooner, but you made me go and put my proper colors back on. (Getting transparency in PNG graphics working correctly is a pain. :rolleyes: )

[ViolentThief]

I know this is an old thread now, but I've played this map a bit more and thought I'ld let you know, that I have realised that there are many good grab, jump, die, pickup routes that make this map a lot fun! :D

And thus, would like to withdraw my previous comments about this map. :)

[JohnnySix]

Hmm, is it still on the server? I really need to finish it at some point. :w00t:

[ViolentThief]

It wasn't up there the last time I was on. Been playing offline a bit more recently, easier for my current machine to cope with. I'm already having fun with this map, the finished product is likely to be awesome! :w00t:
