Looks very detailed. Cant wait to download it. :)

[dany25]

[fleabay]

Looks good. It looks to be MP, I hope its SP also.

Hi,

it is a MP map, all pictures are createt with the lowest grafik settings. All light and fog effects are visible with the lowest MP settings. This was the most important point for us to get a "realistic" look and realize enough FPS for FFA. A good Zoning was a very important point too.

Hope we finished soon and some players like our map.

You should change your name to Modzilla. :)

[PeTjA]

Maybe Mapzilla? :p

Serious:
Is this map 1 level or can U go underground or climb up some stairs? And are U the german player "Godzilla" or do U both just use the same nick? (Also wie jetzt?)

Btw i posted the link for the pics also on PKeuro and the polish forum.

Thanks Godzilla (good to know). Is this map planed as a FFA map only or Duel too?

[Godzilla]

I hope the map is fast enough for FFA.

Godzilla

[PeTjA]

In how many weeks or days will it be released? I think some real onlinetesting with a beta cant be that wrong. And would U agree if blowfish, the maker of PK++, would add this map to steamfish?

Hi,

i agree that Blowfish add the map to Steamfish !!!!!! i think we need 2 or 3 day`s for release. At some parts we got FPS problems but the map feels very fast with 2 players.

Godzilla

[PeTjA]

Take Ur time to make the map good enough for MP. Thanks Godzilla, XMan.

[Godzilla]

i have send a email to Blowfish, hope he answer me.

Regards

Godzilla

[PeTjA]

Hes in australia atm. I asked him about adding the map to steamfish, remember? ;) It can take some time till he add the map. But U will see. :cool:

[Godzilla]

Hi,

Blowfish answer me and he got the map now.

But when???

[Godzilla]

Hi,

i hope Blowfish send me a mail if the map ready for download. If i got a message i tell you.

Godzilla

[PeTjA]

Beside the fact that the map will be soon added to steamfish .. what about the people that dont have PK++ installed?

Do U plan to upload the map extra? That would be nice. I could host her on filefront (+ post the links in the forums). So if U would like to mail the map to me ...

My mail is aviable throu the MSN icon in my profile (3rd one).

[blowfish]

Just waiting for the map to be compiled into a release version (.pkm) then we are ready to go.

Hi,

whitch files are needed for download by Filefront, PKM and Textures or only PKM ?

Regards

Godzilla

[PeTjA]

For compiling a PKM U need the /Levels/maps the /Levels/Textures and /Levels/DM_Ourmap.
But the easyest way is it to compile it all in the PainED. After U saved the map with a name U like ... go back to the Load window and select the map but without loading ... look down to the bottom of the loadwindow ... U should see a option (alwas there) "create pkm".
Then U should got the final map in /Data as PKM.

Hi Peppins,

thank you for your meaning, this help and force me to get better !.

Yes, I wait for your next map, :D good work ;)

[Varus77]

Hi Godzilla,

I've just checked your map. Maybe you know that I'm not from the MP-freaks ;) but PeTjA have asked me to have a short look. I can't say anything related to MP stuff but...

That's a nice looking map with some good eyes catching features, lovely done.

One hint for your zoning:
There are still some problems, that's why you won't get what you want.
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3664/godzillazoning01nm4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
You surely know that inside any zone you should not see any other structure outsides.
But this is very often possible. The reason for this you can see in this picture.
The blue lines from the zone1 are cutting the geometrie from the next large building. Every time this is happens the zoning won't work for these structures.
ALL geometry with an intersection of a zone is always part of this zone!
Therefore you get this too:
http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/54/godzillazoning02sa5.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

If you fly around in your map, for testing this, you have to see always in a zone the structures you want to see. If it isn't so you have to correct those intersections.

Solutions:
- correcting the geometry data for your boxes along those zones, means align them
- in some difficult cases you can "break" your structure in 2 objects, the original large one and a small second, which is allowed to be a part of both zones ;)

Hi,

i think i understand what you mean (beginner mistake) but it is logical and to late now. Hope the next map get better.

Thank you for this tip !!!!!

Regards

Godzilla

[Varus77]

Oh no...it isn't to late...correct the dimensions of the zoneboxes and all is done...short update of the mpk...1 hour

It'll surely increase the fps.

But don't be sad. As I've seen during my SP-map working a long time ago, even PCF didn't know all about the real possibilities of zoning... (There is much more possible than they've known)
