MH-HauntedHalloween [Complete! Happy Halloween!]

Some of them simply couldn't be aligned...) Some other things are intentional things

I agree - some MapChecker's "issues" can or even must be ignored.

the "TriggeredAmbientsound" doesn't do what I want

What does not work with it?
I usually use such like

TriggerableAmbientSound

Code: Select all

class TriggerableAmbientSound expands AmbientSound;

var sound SavedAmbientSound;
var() bool bInitallyOn;



event PostBeginPlay() {
	Super.PostBeginPlay();
	SavedAmbientSound = AmbientSound;
	if ( ! bInitallyOn)
		SoundOff();
}


event SoundOn() {
	AmbientSound = SavedAmbientSound;
}


event SoundOff() {
	AmbientSound = none;
}


event Trigger(Actor Other, Pawn EventInstigator) {

	if (AmbientSound == none)
		SoundOn();
	else
		SoundOff();
}



defaultproperties {
	bStatic=False
}

Sadly the page where I posted the code on UnrealWiki has gone.

I don't quite remember, something about the volume or pitch setting not working right? Or maybe I just liked how when using a triggerlight you can "Fade" the sounds in and out .

Oh! that script will help a lot! I will save this script and try it for the final version!

For now, I made a Beta2!

Changes:
Uses the new Screen version
Ammo no longer falls through the world
Added some deco/monsters in some previously empty areas
Fixed a small HoM error
Managed to align more brushes to the grid
Cleaned up bot pathing some more
Some balancing on the scoreboard (It now registers kills instead of hunt score, with a bonus for stronger monsters. done because every server tracks scores differently)

Updated the download!

Yea screen.u had several versions released. Think even the readme mentions it.

It can't be helped I guess! A lot of maps still contain older versions though, is this the latest version? I'm afraid Micheaal's old site is down so I can't grab it from there anymore.

Some trees ate hovering:

And I gave up playing the map - it's too tricky, no progress.

[Kayako]

I'll fix those trees!

Also wow, this is the first time someone tells me one of my maps is too hard, usually I'm told they are "too easy"...
Balancing this so everyone can enjoy is difficult. I don't feel like I upped the difficulty too much, what was it? Too many monsters?

[Barbie]

Not too hard but too laborious to find all the levers or buttons or whatever to open the next gate. Ok, I could have picked it up in the editor...

[Kayako]

Ohh, I see what you mean! Yeah I could add some stuff to make certain things more easy to see, especially the little key in the chapel.

I have yet to try this out, It was september... Now it is october! Okay right in time, I waited by accident (:
I had two consecutive wild weeks that are pulling me harder that I can pull back

I tried one of yer maps by accident, found that in a zip file called wintermonsterpack... It happens to have MH-December24th in it... No wonder I saw a familiar name ^^
I picked Wrong holidays yesterday but I'll get right 2 it today (:

Anyhow I am running this with Monster Hunt 2... I do not need to compare it with UTJMH because that is well burned into my mind even if it was 20000 years ago
It makes things whole lot easier so Barbie says this - I say I can win it single-handed!

The only Difficult thing about Kayako's maps were the red barrels at December24th... I keep shooting at them! And im right next to them!

Wahaha, a good reason to wait!

This one is currently getting updated for 2025!

A secret should be naturally found, without pesky bots running at a door giving away the secret,

As well as just having the bots get or finish the secret, making us humans look dumb.

[Kayako]

I agree, but not everyone does it turns out. I used to not put an AI path (or use a blocked-path) to secret areas but people complained about that too.

Sadly here the saying goes "You can't please both Greeks and Trojans"

I'll go back to blocking secrets off from bots

Maybe pimping up the small tower with a (working) clock?

See either Revelation's ClockDemo or my simpler version of an analogue clock.

Added, complete with bells that ring the appropriate number of times!

Unless anyone finds any notable bugs in the coming days, I think I will be releasing the level in this state, we'll see if it ends up on Uarchive before spooky month is over

Maybe check the following found in map MH-BETA2HauntedHalloween.unr:

Code: Select all
