MH-HauntedHalloween [Complete! Happy Halloween!]

[Kayako]

-Added clocks (The visual doesn't update real-time online but will instead show the server time at the start of the map)
-Fixed some floating graves and trees
-Per request, Added a little back-room area where you can recover health and ammo
-Added an extra effect to the end scene
-All (pre-placed) ammo now give double the bullets

Unless any critical errors are found, this will be the final version!

Players often don't find the key (Trigger79), enter the house (Brush481) through the window and activate the GYLever. "SecondStart" is enabled then and players respawn in house with locked door.
Suggestion: add an indestructible window or some bars to prevent passing.

[Kayako]

Thank you, I will think of something. I deleted the download for now until I know of more fixes and addressed them, since I don't want the level to become too widespread and cause mass incompatibility issues. I had hoped to have this be the final version, I don't want to make a v2/3/4 for every new issue.

The window was expected to be too high to jump through but I didn't keep in mind that some servers play with double/quad jumps or are really good at explosion-jumping, I was thinking of putting some blockplayers in the windows but removed them. Instead I made it so that in the case you somehow DO get in there the door can be opened from the inside, skipping the key. This will skip some objectives and will likely result in a worse rating at the end but it's a speedrun strat now!

Doublejump is deactivated for this map on my servers - players know rocket- or shockball jump.

Or in this case, ripper-jump I guess, Mwahaha~!
Let me know if there's any other things I need to patch, but now the window will be a proper shortcut!

Oh these are good to know since they are also used in other levels, best to weed them out everywhere!
Unfortunately I won't be able to address the code ones till next week since my coding attempts break more than they fix.

[Barbie]

Just notice me if I should help - all changes are already done above. ^^
Furthermore the clock is not working online, I'll investigate it later. Also I recommend not using a hour hand for seconds nor ticking sounds, because it is unusual for a tower clock.

Thank you, I wrote that last post after 3 days without sleep... so I didn't realize you already posted the fixes along with the old options!
I replaced the lines and tested it and all seems to work well now, also removed the second hand and the tick sound from the clock!

I'll delay posting the update until you know if the clock can be fixed online! The old version of the map only had 5 downloads so I don't plan on changing the name, shouldn't run into too many compatibility errors!
(Else I may change it it to "HauntingHalloween" since I am not a fan of putting "v2/fix" in my map names)

[Barbie]

The clock hands will move in clients at online game when you set Mover's RemoteRole to "DumbProxy". Maybe someone knows how to rewrite code that the movers move on clients only...
(And you need only one "ClockInfo" for all clocks that have the same time.)

[Kayako]

Thanks for all the feedback!
A point comes where I have to consider a map final and I think this is it.

• Added checks to prevent a soft-lock if you ripper-jump into the guard tower
• Finished balancing out the end score screen
• Used @Barbie's code suggestions to get rid of most accessed-none related issues
• Fixed the clocks

This will be the final update, and I will be uploading the map to Uarchive as well, thanks for everything!

Until The Uarchive adds a download link, the map will be available from Mediafire

The functioning clock is a nice addition. never even knew that was possible until now

[Kayako]

Thanks! Barbie told me about it and I thought it would be nice to drive home the theme of "You're stuck in an inescapable, endless night"!

That's a great Halloween Monster Hunt map and I'm glad it's completed anyway.

[Kayako]

Thank you! Just in time too!
