Entry for the 20AC map contest as bonusmaterial.

UPDATE (26-12)
Fixed the bot issue where the bot got stuk on the ledge and would not jump (top entrance flag room), fixed a giant BSP hole on top of the lift in the blue base (with the wooden plank), also lighten up the map i tiny bit.

Bumped the map to version 4

thanx for testing and I hope hope you guys have fun with the map!

This is the final version. (I think)

Playground for me looks good enough, with a bit of tweaking map can take place in a CTF server. I'll do more checking later.

Looks very nice and plays pretty well too, especially for a small map.

Geeze that looks like a mess.. :-P

Anyway, any advice on how to find those void path nodes in a simpel way, I would not know where to look..

I've made such mistakes in my past Editor sessions because... I did not have any checker like MapGarbage and no one was helping me, and as you can see I don't even figure to many coders writing real pro things for such tasks and then,... I must work by myself updating that thing constantly. The easiest way for me is 3-5 mouse clicks, firing builder, scrolling to option and hit build button, then checking logged results instead of checking each actor - I think I have to drop out next update.

Ah, you mean finding them.
Menu -> Edit -> Search For Actors...
Copy-Paste names - select name - hit delete, done.

I don't know what to say... because I failed my own maps here and there, I'm sitting down thinking if worth doing remakes, or simply patching them with little adds... Somehow I would like to setup several One-Way type paths in my MH works against that retreating/roaming random habit, for developing an aggressive attack...

Just a small update abou the map..

Fixed mentioned things.

Did some working on the cosmetics of the map, looks a bit different, but I think it is a better 'look'. Still working on the lensflares.

Added a new path from and towards the flagroom and rocketlaunger room where you can find the suitbelt.

added invisibilioty where the suitbeld was originally located..

Some minor tweaking with the health and ammo placement..

Will releaase it shortly when i finished with those darn lensflares, I hate those things!

How's the bot pathing?

Fine, bots are jumping crate to crate, but cant seem to get this liftjump thing working. it seems it is just a kicker that will make the bots jump when the touch the actor.
Not usable because it will kick every bot that touch it, no matter where they come from. The liftjump actor is not connectable to the lift or such. Also, you can not edit the jump angle, it is random..

Oh well, Does not really matter, the bots will use the ttranslocator or jumpboots to get to the higher spots if they want to..

Kicker code is not the right thing to do. In MBot another actor is taking place making pawn to jump from lifts with a good successful rate - only in XC environments, the same actor is managing travel in horizontal platform lifts, jumping over knee obstructions, etc. Lifts usually are bidirectional and this should be taken in account.

Next: LensFlares I believe are myths in UT unless you do something yourself - else you want Coronas. Some of those bool variables are there for nothing, Epic did not manage to finish their programming in this UT. bActorShadows bLensFlare aren't doing anything as far as I know.
