DM-XV-EpicTown V2A

Post by mikaeolke »

Working on adding vehicles to the map DM-EpicTown https://unrealarchive.org/maps/unreal-t ... fa875.html . This is urban map, not very big, but very detailed. :tu:
Transport looks quite good on it, although the largest tanks are cramped even on the street. :lol2:
On small cars, can even drop into the underground parking and the subway.
Also working on visually expanding the map by adding decorative objects.
Original map files is required viewtopic.php?p=125323#p125323
Last version of X-Vehicles mod is required viewtopic.php?f=34&t=14936 .

Interesting - have you seen sektor2111's version in which the pathing is improved - see here - also comments from FNB on the map's construction (which may be useful if you intend to rebuild or add to the geometry)?

Map will be improved without rebuilding of geometry.
Decorative objects will be added to the background,
for the visual expansion of the map, this will not require rebuilding the geometry.
and some textures will be tweaked.
pathings will not change.

I mention sektor2111's version because it addresses the issues with the pathing in the original which prevent bots using the map as well as they could. Those issues are discussed in the thread I linked to.

Using sektor's MapGarbage and Buggie's MapChecker to check the map will indicate what some of those issues are.

I am afraid XV need special paths, which usually more complicated from usual ones.
Even by simple logic, not in all ways where able travel player, able travel vehicle. Vehs is big, can't turn instant/in-place (jeeps), can't jump, use lifts and so on. Manta not able travel underwater, and which able - better not do so.

It’s true, bots on transport are stupid, get stuck in the walls and practically do not move, I’ll try to add transport to sektor2111's version of the map.   
Auto merged new post submitted 22 hours 51 minutes later
First test vs 16 bots with improved paths on DM-XV-EpicTown-V2A_rS2903.
Bots are still stupid with vehicles,
but very funny to conquer with them by using of transport.
