Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
Bambino: yeah, that's what I was planning on doing. And you've raised a good point about licensing. I plan to publish a help file on the server, among other things, to accredit the various map makers.
Currently there is no deadline; I am going to be pretty busy over the coming weeks, so it'll be pretty loose. I hope we can get this "finished" in a month - although I am very keen to keep adding to this map for as long as people are interested in adding to it.

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
May I have A6,A7,A8,B7,B8?
Also will our sections be grouped or should we place them in there correct location?
What are the options for this map, rico, -ms?

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
I'll take D1, D2 and E1, E2.
I am a little confused though on how this will all work out. Like how all these maps will be incorporated into one map and with what bambino said about the include /path/to/other/map/files.bzw thing. Maybe a little more clarification for me? I am still pretty new to making stuff in BZFlag. I am yet to learn how to make a mesh. I'm one of those bzedit users. then notepad to do the stuff bzedit doesn't. i need to visualize when i make a map.

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
I have a suggestion if you run out of map space and you have more people interested. Just give people say a 100 unit height allowance, then a tank can jump what, 15 units high? Then say at like 120 units heigh, make a mesh that is 0.1 units thick and make the bottom clear and the top of the mesh the ground texture. Then give people real-estate up high. Then their ground would be at 120.1 units high. Just a suggestion.

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
You put your objects in your x,y, and z location then save the map file and it will be loaded with the bzw include option.
Regarding not knowing how to make meshes, just do what you can with what you can use. Mesh editors like Wings3d and blender are visual mesh editors. As Spazzy already said: with 2.0 worlds don't have to be round and can be expanded if more people want to contribute.
I'd like 3 shots please

@PTank: Erm, I for one don't want a independent 2 level map…
@Bambino: I would also like the challenge of 3 shots, that way it wont be to crazy.

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
I don't think that would work very well. I already have a building that exceeds 200 units, on top of that It would probably look very weird.Propane Tank wrote:I have a suggestion if you run out of map space and you have more people interested.

@Spazzy McGee, If you don't need tile G7 for any special purpose could I have it?

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
Can't wait to see what ya'll do with this. I was just thinking a few weeks ago how it would be fun to do another one of these.
Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
Just to clarify, the x and y coordinates are layed out as such
+x and +y would be in ahs3's section
-x +y would be in bambino's section
This correct? Thanks

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
Are F3-5 still open? I'll take a shot at it. If not, I could do C8, D8, and E8. If not those, C7, D7, E7. Basically any three squares adjacent on any edge or corner of each other will work.

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
right now, there are none open. Spazzy would have to make it bigger.

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
I would like to take D1, D2, E1, E2, if available.
Secondary is F3~5.
If possible, I would like to have all of those squares, but that's asking a little much.

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
Okay, i've tried to accommodate everybody, and I have added a section to the right for more squares! if anybody would like more just say.
mrapple: you are correct with the coordinates. They are as laid out on the diagram. The new section does not alter the old section in any way!!
sigonasr2: I have allocated you D9, D10, F9, F10, E9, E10. Does that work for you?
ducatiwannabe: me too. Would you like some of the newly added squares?

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
If I may recommend a way to keep confusion down, put your callsign in your material and physics name.
Example:
Just an idea to make this simpler for whoever may put these together.
--ahs3
Example:
Code: Select all
physics
name ahs3-pyh
linear -100 -100 20
end
material
name ahs3-roof
addtexture roof
end
--ahs3

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
That's a very good idea, ahs3. Everyone please label all of your materials, groups, physics, texmats, dyncols and teleporters with your callsign.

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010
Thanks for adding me Spazzy. I feel special since you added me into the new section of the building area. Time to get to work.
