My topic for the AMC contest.

Name is temporally, it will be something in this setting: magic - old roman / neo gothic - fairy tale like - versus stargate sg1 .

Pray for me folks that I finish this map in time: work + school is killing me. :sad2:
But this contest empowers me , and have something to look out for!

Game type : MH
Skybox not finished as you can clearly see.
pictures: see attachments.

-----------------------


Big file due the Chaos addon. I must find out which files, only to include.

Added temporary music. Readme and such will follow in final version.
Give it a run, let me know findings. Progress is early, not finished.


------------------------

and ohhh yes...... there will be........ crystals. :ironic: :loool:

image not found




Submission for the contest:

The map is and stays : UNFINISHED.

Yes. The mission revolves about some sort of stargate mission. I needed some sort of basis of plot. :noidea

Just want to note, after ... some consideration, I am still in.

Found a name for the map. Mesospheric.

My progress is by far not finished, but I still have to deliver. Quitting feels more destructive rather than releasing an unfinished map.


Updated the skybox a little, once more.
The map will run heavy on systems I fear, zoned and unzoned.

Releasing a download soon,I hope. :noidea

2 weeks left, fingers crossed.

It's a really cool map :gj: - a challenging, entertaining and unusual MH map.

I think you just need chaostrees.u.

Just a few things

1 From the log 'ScriptWarning: Failed to load 'Sound Announcer.Winner': Failed to find object 'Sound Announcer.Winner'.
2 The killzone doesn't kill the slith or the skaarj warriors, though it does kill krall.
3 I wasn't able to pick up the shieldbelt at the beginning (in front of the stargate) but I assume that is deliberate.
4 You have a typo in the map name and in the introduction at the start of the map - it's AMC and not AWC.
5 Sektor's TelTweak reports 'ScriptLog: Invalid Teleporter -> Message Spam removed for Teleporter MH-AWC-Mesospheric.VisibleTeleporter1'

I should clarify what I said in point 2 in my previous post - the killzone doesn't always kill the slith or skaarj warriors, sometimes they survive falling or being blown off the 'islands'. On the other hand, the krall and flies are always killed - the flies have a tendency to fly down into it anyway.

One other point is that some of the jumppads inflict damage on landing so you may want to check these.

That made me curious and lead me from function VacuumZone.Tick() with

Code: Select all

if ( P.Fatness > 250 ) 	{	
	Level.Game.SpecialDamageString = DamageString;		
	P.TakeDamage(10000, P, P.Location, Vect(0,0,0), DamageType);
over to function Pawn.TakeDamage():

Code: Select all

function TakeDamage( int Damage, Pawn instigatedBy, Vector hitlocation, Vector momentum, name damageType)
...
if ( (InstigatedBy != None) && (InstigatedBy.IsA(Class.Name) || self.IsA(InstigatedBy.Class.Name)) )
	ActualDamage = ActualDamage * FMin(1 - ReducedDamagePct, 0.35);
...
In words: if the attacker and the attacked are members of the same family or equal, the damage will be reduced by the value of (1 - ReducedDamagePct) regardless of the DamageType. I'd call that a bug.
Because in a VacuumZone attacker and attacked are the same and Slith and IceSkaarj have ReducedDamagePct=1, no damage will be left.

Possible solutions:
  • use ScriptedPawns that don't have a ReducedDamagePct of 1 (either other than above or subclassed types of them)
  • use a custom VacuumZone that does not pass the attacker ("instigatedBy") to the function TakeDamage():

    Code: Select all

    //=============================================================================
    // VacuumZoneEx.
    //=============================================================================
    class VacuumZoneEx expands VacuumZone;
    
    event ActorEntered( actor Other ) {
    	if (ScriptedPawn(Other) != None)
    	{
    		ScriptedPawn(Other).TakeDamage
    		(
    			10000,
    			None,
    			ScriptedPawn(Other).Location,
    			Vect(0,0,0),
    			DamageType				
    		);
    	}
    	Super.ActorEntered(Other);
    }
    
    The difference is that ScriptedPawns are killed instantly without the effect of getting fat first.
PS: May I run this already on my server? I'd change the name to "MH-AWC-Mesospheric-181130" or something until you release a final version.

I used CloudZone in all those MH craps which I did, simple as that, no one escaped alive from there... probably there are chances to work properly because that one has a deal with Pawn's enemy...
