MH-MeltTownFinal3

Who doesnt know the movie F.A.K.K.2 and the MeltingPot graphic
novels - the perfect scenario for a really great MonsterHunt map!
It works best online but also with bots though the monsters then
"care for themselves" abit much ... .

Im having a weird problem!
You know I wanna try to subclass the seveb or xidiampack
weaponholder pawns and fill in a bot models properties.
But I cant open the weaponholder packages in the UEd!
However when I open e.g. the maps MH-Liandri or MH-LastVoyage
the weaponholder pawns are loaded although
the packages dont appear in the checklist.
At the moment Im trying to subclas my own package
with the working maps opened but cant say if it works ... .

EDIT: I found out that I can load the packages in my UTcollection system at least.
But im still wondering how to add them to my map ... .

EDIT2: Yohoo - it works!!!
I probably missed istalling the oldskool files
which seem to be required for the packs ... .

I forgat to mention a problem which occurs while vertexing.
Sometimes the pivots jump over certain gridpoints.
Mone away the questioned brush and rebuild geometry.
Then position it again and the problem is gone ... .

I want to exclude the UTMJMonsterhunt mutator effects from this map.
First because of the redeemers which cause crashes and also because the healthbars are nonsense.
What would that possibly be - a special mylevel code or what ...?

When you say about the Grid changing, do u mean changing that little number in the bottom right of your unreal ed which allows u to move things for 1/2/4/8/16/32/64 etc. Cuz i would not recommend changing those numbers.

If the map is on dU servers it will have to use the dU mutator. Only the heavy monsters part can be excluded.
Also, if your map crashes from redeemers you'd better see what's wrong with it.

LongCorridor maps are excluded.

And your map will be a pain to play with the framedrop from the polycount. Place some big walls block the view.

As a general note, there's no such thing as "impossible". If the only solution to whatever issue in your map happens to be redoing half of it, you're going to apply your sense of priorities and redo it, or you forget your map.

Weird - because I actually cant wait to play it.
Maybe you have some megascale kitchen or bedroom maps in mind.
Well - they are big - thats correct but they only work because they dont reach
the poly(surfaces) count per viewfiels which is necessary for MH-MeltDown.
At least when if say flying is essential.
I experienced how my UT always crashes while the alienqueen
in MH-Godz but i was able to reenter and use the other rooms ... .

This server used to have bots in the first years but no more.

Reasons are:
1) They suck big time in nearly every map.
2) When playing alone or in small teams you don't want the bots to mess up with YOUR game (though there are the challenge servers since).

I imagined and balanced the designs of the new lord chars:
Slith - poison yellow-green
Brute - hulk like nude variant
SkTrooper - blue with gold eyes
Skaarj - lich gold like behemoth
Fisk - red with mask
GeneStealer - red skin/ black shield
Krall - the violet
Mercenary - wine red boss char
Baron - gray redish hellknight variant from doom64
Imp - nightmare whitelike with blue eyes
Insect - blueblack (?)
Spinner - b/w

Maybe in two weeks!
Time used up now estimated 1 month (full time).
Im abit dissatisfied with the boss - because
he still gets stuck under chaingun fire ... .

EDIT: Well the collosion radius was indeed messed.
But under fire from the new sb chaingun (sr sound!) he cant do anything!
What a wimp ... .

EDIT: I replaced the subclassed firelord with a normal skaarjlord and changed after this.
This avoids the stupid stuckiness and maybe some more bugs ... .

Some new pawn skins.
Making is actually simple:
just collaging out the desired zones with a photo editor placing and colouring.
Then put a copy of the original about transparent it and youre done!

then subclassing what is somehow going to mess the abilities.

Yeehaw - skinning the pawns is so much easier - they dont increase the smallest pixel difference!
Now ill divide all in three groups (lords strong normal) which will have different sizes with different fatnesses as well.
The stronger monsters will guard the border areas for balancing out the easy path ... .

My PC isnt the fastest actually.
Just dont rush in the gate and snipe through until the charge isnt that massive.
I fixed some stuff like reducing the fisks and giving the spinners liches correct skin and increasing the space ceiling abit. .
Now Id like to hear a server test result before launching a new version.

EDIT; Btw. - you must play this with medium level detail to see the lava through the crates and to compare the new skins ... .

I could check it on the DUTestServer and reduced the InsectMan and GeneStealer counts.
Im still unclear about the prisoners who "guard" the MonsterEnd trigger if they are all visible.
At least two for sure but maybe online the other four are hidden.
All other small failpoints should be absolutely cleared and the gameplay was fantastic.
I in order had to delete the original system files to allow the server adding the cache - (weird) ... .

good job Kaal! thinking that is your only 2nd map id honestly say that is a good job Smile

of course cud be a bit better (id say especially more detalied) but how im not a mapper id say isnt my ... bussiness (?) to talk about that
however id say is a big diference from previous one (Brutes, what i admit i dont really like too much)
even if i already heard some critics about it ... i always love new things on maps how now is those skins for monsters; maybe other think isnt too important that (those skins) but id say that still is/r a/some variation/s! after a time u get bored seeing same textures/skins/weapons/mosters/.... blah, isnt bad a small variation from time to time (k i know Bob and/or others, some things how wud be lets say some weapons, never will/cud be accepted here, what what can be why not then? Very Happy1

)
(thats why i also like, again highly/strong criticized by ones, Thunder's map; even that those 2 r made with inspiration from 2 movies id say that is a original idea (n what movies? 2 hits! to no more say about new monsters (snakes ... blah) ok, i also dont like that r big in size but overall i like them much; sry for this paranthesis on your thread ill move it later on the proper thread)
ok maybe someones wud say (or already said :Zwinker:

) mosnters movements arent so good ... blah, but i say once they r done/made/built/blah (damn my stupid english! Razz

) maybe ull improve them, so what i mean that important is that u made something a bit more original
ok maybe these skins (or part of them) already were used by another mapper on other/s map/s? well never saw them here on dU till now! Razz

id say ppl shud criticize less n help more :Zwinker:

from me ... Keep on the good work! :Zwinker:

(or "Hang in there!" Laughing

)

ahh, i also liked much that is a large map (good for many ppl), not too big, but ... (enough) large, how id like most Very Happy1

(i honestly think that many ppl wud enjoy it)

As I just learned the DUMH mutator also works offline which is great because it prevents monsters attacking themselves.
Now since we got the file from cache all we still need is aa specified int file which integrates the mutator in practice matches.
Maybe someone who has one can make a attachement to share please ...?

Youre basically right but the current problems are totally hidden.
Do you know it when you change a bit geometry and rebuil again and again to get rid of a bsp cut?
The same seem to apply in this map concerning pawn dissapearances and path building.
Now - the worst is that you actually cant see this like a bsp cut
and have to play half of the map each time to estimate improvement or not.

(More on topic)
Kaal, the maps pretty good, I only found a few small problems with it.

1) The city around the tower, because of it's size, you can lose monsters. The very last Krall I had to search for
2) Brutes and similar large monsters get stuck in the huts and become sitting ducks
3) Need Distanceviewtriggers or something, once you get a foothold at the gate, you can pick off most monsters via sniping
4) The final boss, NOT ENOUGH SPACE!! D: Those corridors were a nightmare to move with 2 players. With a full server, it'll be a massacre. Either decrease his speed and attack or give the players more space to move around.
5) Texturing on the huts was... odd. If you want to use that texture, try scaling it down to 0.25, it's too big right now IMO

Other than that, it's a nice map Very Happy1

Maybe you need to see it more as a challenging fun map!
At least I can not second your thoughts but negotiate them.
The monsters in the huts arent really stuck btw - they just await you inside.
I wanna make a spectator movie with bots and special cut scenes and youtube it ... .

The end boss isn't so much Challenging as a nightmare. There's not enough space to manouvre and avoid his attacks (Which kill you pretty fast) and I was struggling to find space in a 2 player game. On the main server with 15+, no-one will be able to move, it'll just be a massacre, not a fight.

The Brutes get stuck, they can't shoot back at you or move, and are easy kills. Maybe make brutes only appear on the roofs or outside the huts? Most other monsters are fine, they generally find a way out or shoot through the windows. It's only the final boss that's a real nightmare, put a balony or something on the tower so the players have more room to move, or open that top room up a bit more (Reduce the walls) and it'll be fine.

Trust me, that's far from the truth, I've seen almost every boss imaginable ;)

The Boss itself isn't the problem, it's the building. Give the players a little more manouvre space and it works. At the moment, the boss gets you into a corner way too easy and as soon as you're cornered, it's pretty much instant death.

No - youre saying your boss areas are better but I think they are old.
My boss is so challenging that nobody rushes in and completes the map
before the others even found a special weapon ... .

Are there problems for not uploading the map to either normal or crazy server?
I think this version works perfectly but on a MHCity server it didnt load.
I guess because of the triple jumps and other flying modes ... .

which are having the best setup and map collection
as I can know ... .

Made a new version final 3 with some brushes
set to semisolid for better performance and changed
basement windows and corrected skins.

Shocked

@ Bob - the latest version is in the first post!
Consider that the genestpawn package was updated as well.
This version is now a few months old so you can expect it
to need no more changes ... .

Yea, genestPawn already have a mismatch version error. Changed ? Is a joke. What is changed ? 3342955 is the length for boths files with the same name, just a few bits are different and I'm very sure about Is only the fingerprint of the compilation's date used, not something different. If a mod has a single line changed, the length will be differerent. You have other version than these 2 ? Finally you want 10 versions ? You told about DU that here are quality works, then I suggest you to do quality not quantity.

I'm already using 2 UTs because ot these ideeas to release a bunch of files with the same name. You forgot to post what Skins are corrected.

Insect ? - I don't know the origins of this package but I know the errors returned by this crap.
If you want, I can show a nice console with logs about your creatures, even about both sides: Client and Server. Good luck, Mr. Kaal.

Next time put up a small unadverted server and test "your releases" there.

No - youre absolutely wrong.
I had to increase some new skins contrast level
what you probably never would recognize.
But with full brightness the difference was
too significant. Also did the pawns pretty
well while testing the first versions
on the du mapping server.

P.S.: Now - this is my last post about this map here.
Dont ignore or make your jokes about it.

Really ? Check the client log according to those projectile used by Insect crap, and we can talk about them later. Do not trust in any package too much because is useless. I can deliver accesed nones anytime, that's not hard.

I think is harder to put up a small server to test a bit on-line. After game ended, check logs at client and server. Is good ? Only in your mind. Nice presumption.
