The Courtyard

^nightmare^ · Post by **^nightmare^** » Tue May 30, 2006 5:08 pm

A smaller map with a fountain in the middle and trees all around it. A four team ctf with three people on each team. I did most of it in notepad (like the fountain and LouMan's trees).

Wow - reminds me a lot of that courtyard in Paper Mario - looks very nice

Ok, I have some better screenies for those of you who are lazy.

I had an idea about the map. Maybe you could put an upside-down cone
with the lower edges stretched and curved so it looks like a
fancy v, then put a texture matrix on it so it looks like its spraying
water. Anyway, here are the screenies.

By far one of the best 2.0 maps I've seen, not too over-complicated.

Really great job. I just took a look now at norang.

But there's a small bug: you can't get up on the courtyard bricks/tiles unless you jump up. What if you make it drivethrough (or make it not as high?)?

I played with the _maxBumpHeight setting and nothing would make the tank go up it all the way. Seems its too small to work with.

Drivethrough would work.

ill work on something like that, thanks for idea!

Heres a fix of the map. I still have to fix one more thing though. If you take oo and go through one of the trees, bzflag crashes

Im trying to add additions to the fountain, but im running into a problem (as usual)...How do you make a cone flip upsidedown? i have tried using the flipz command but it doesnt seem to work

-thanks

If its a cone object then scale 1 1 -1 should do it. But you may have to change the z position to (original+z dimension)

ok hows this look? (looks kinda weird to me to tell u the truth...)

maybe i need to make the water thats shooting up smaller...
