CTF-Zardoz

Post by jmartin »

Based on the 1974 film starring Sean Connery.

This is quite possibly one of the most stupidest maps ever made. But hey, somebody's got to do it

Avoid the Zardoz head whenever possible, (set to "crush" when encroached).

Use jump boots to hitch a free ride inside the Zardoz head.

shouldn't the "head" look more like the head in the movie?

Yes, that's not a very good picture - the face is on the opposite side.

I like the concept - sound was great. Does the mover have several keys so the head smashes you? :D

Yes. The Mover is set to "ME_CrushWhenEncrouch", so it will kill you if it lands on top of you.

On a side note, you can use the JumpBoots to enter the Head through the mouth (just like in the movie) and get a free ride. :D

Sure feels like an invitation for someone to make that head a mesh-for fun.

Agreed. Baardman can probably do it. Maybe EvilGrins can make a Zardoz skin? :tu:

Here's another more accurate version I made using a 6 sided cone instead of a cylinder.

And the original screenshot for reference from the movie, available for free on archive.org

Code: Select all

PS:

Coincidentally enough, there is a mapper nick-named "Zardoz" who made a couple of maps and mods back in 2005 called
DM-Espejismo, DOM-TheTowers and DoomWeapons. Pretty nifty stuff! Buen trabajo amigo! :tu:
