Easy Target's Castle Wars

I'll see if i want to do that, but one comment kinda bugs me...

just like in real missile wars

It is not my purpose in making this map to make it like missile wars!
It is supposed to be its own entity. This map is not affiliated with missile wars in any way

But i must thank DW for helping me sooo much in map making

I'll see what i can do...

p.s. i'm still adding the textures so be patient.

Okay, It's not supposed to be like missile wars? But still make the boxes drive through? If I left out that comment, I wonder if you would have done it...

Easy Target · Post by **Easy Target** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:14 pm

Ya, i've decided to make the boxes drive through, and less opaque, but it has nothing to do with missile wars, I am not trying to make a missile wars replica.

also, can someone pls give me the code to make a zone on top of a surface above ground... i know its something like "fb" or something but i forgot

CUPCAKE · Post by **CUPCAKE** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:42 pm

Code: Select all

zone
  name flags
  position 0 0 50
  size 10 10 10
  zoneflag GM
end

Is that what you mean? -fb just allows flags to be on buildings, but the flags still spawn randomly.

k lemme try and see if that works.

Easy Target · Post by **Easy Target** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:36 pm

ok, i'm having a real problem with my textures, i'm attaching a word edit copy of my map with the meshboxes and textures pls help me if you see something wrong.
because whenever i test my map, it says "cannot load *** texture" fill in blank with texture name.
So i have no idea what to do now and it's making me really frustrated

pls pls pls help me!

Are your textures on the internet? Are they PNG's? Does your code look like this?:

Code: Select all

material
  name colorful
  texture http://www.putyour.url/here.png
end

meshbox
  size 10 10 10
  position 0 0 0
  matref colorful
end

If yes to all that, then I have no idea what is wrong...

I tried it and it worked
but wont people be subjected to local denial when they load my map?
I was denied, and then i had to go into download access and change the configs...

CUPCAKE · Post by **CUPCAKE** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 11:02 pm

Well, thats the main problem. You just have to convince people to change their DownloadAccess.txt so that they can see textures.
However, you can upload them here if you choose: http://images.bzflag.org/submitimages/
if they are uploaded to the image submitter, people won't have any downloading problems.

Easy Target · Post by **Easy Target** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 11:16 pm

oh ok, so then i'll find a good texture and then upload it, thanks!

Please do not steal textures from a random Internet site, if that's what you mean by "find a good texture".

Easy Target · Post by **Easy Target** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 3:34 am

no, i'm not stealing from a random internet sight, i meant like textures from like images.bzflag.org and stuff like that lol sorry if i wasnt clear on that =P

Easy Target · Post by **Easy Target** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 3:57 am

OK, I've added textures and a few zones, although I am happy with the textures, the zones I'm a little shaky on.
EDIT: also, can someone pls help me make zoneflags able to spawn on buildings? -fb wont work for me.

Not bad. Keep it up.

I played on it just now and found it a little similar to Missile War 2 but this also has it's own characteristics. Very nice work!
I'd say move the thread to 'Map Releases'?

Awesome map Easy Target! Few things wrong with it but i dont remebr what they are.... who cares anyways? right? I like the whole gate idea... and i argee with whodaman? by moving this to "map realeses" with a good license for it.... this map looks like it will look really popular! Way to go easy tartget, you diserve a round of appaluse from the fourm community! *clap* clap *clap*

Easy Target · Post by **Easy Target** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 9:02 pm

Thank you everyone!... But the reason that I haven't moved it to map releases yet is because I'm not fully done yet, and I don't want to release it until I'm completely positive that the map is the way that I desire.

P.S. when you guys are testing the map, do you get "local access denied"?
I'm just wondering. P.S.P.S. "local access denied" is when you can't download the textures that I have input into my map. Please tell me if this happens to you (without you having to change your access code)

OK, I've added a few more zones for better play. Here is the bzw version of my map.

p.s. does anyone know if there is a code for making only 2 specific teams spawn, because when I was testing it, I had spawned as a purple lol and this is red v blue. I have spawn zones for the 2 teams, but I want to block out all others...

SirIchBeenCool · Post by **SirIchBeenCool** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 10:10 pm

Hey Easy your still double posting...

but i have no clue on the blocking things.. dont even know how to spawnzone so im useless!

CUPCAKE · Post by **CUPCAKE** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 11:11 pm

Umm look in you conf file. You shouldn't be able to spawn as anything but red or blue if you have the max. players per team set.

Please look at the times that I posted before you accuse me of double posting

CUPCAKE===> how do I set max players per team, and what would you believe to be a good number for my map?

[EDIT]: OK, I have just set the max shots for a few flags, how does this sound?
-SW 10
-SB 45
-G 4
-L 25
-GM 30
-and a wings jump count of 6

SirIchBeenCool · Post by **SirIchBeenCool** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 2:40 am

Sounds good but i would add at least 8 wg jumps because it is frustrating to players if you cannot get all the way to the other base tih out landing..... but other than that looks good!

and BTW easy it was just a joke...

.... to loosen up eveyone spirts... ya know what i mean?

well looks good time for it to get hosted! p.s. i could use some help on the spawn zones and stuff like that.... thanks....

-Thanks-
