[English] Ze_zombie_flats

Glad all over · 4-7-2008, 18:30

Hello Community once more

once again im making a map ze_zombie_flats

What this map is going to do:

*Players have a freeform choice of 3 flats to go up*

*There is 3 helicopters in this map With a helicopter fight at the end*( Kinda like Spacestationz)

*Elevators with cameras so zombies can envy human
survivors escaping* Thanks to Prop maker

*

*

*Two Major secrets which i think no1 will find*

*Massive defend off for the helicopter*

Things I have to do: (I will underline things I have done)

1) Optimize man!

2) Get some textures I3D members Preference to what textures to the flats? Custom textures? Links?

3) Find out how to Combine a helicopter blade's to the body of a helicopter while it's moving.
Fellow mappers
need info on this 1 plz

4) Any other nits and bits which need minor fixing

5) Make the map completly balanced and enjoyable

6) Lighting making apart from the skybox

Help a mapper with constructive suggestions to textures, info , etc

Btw These flats are based in a south london suburban which tourists will not come across.

Screenies with no textures *Basic* here but give you the *general gist* of the map.

More screenies will come from the inside after i've finished with the lighting

Nice map already, keep the good work up

acid.de · 4-7-2008, 19:18

You have to really really really REALLY optimize your map, because 3 helicopters will lag like hell IMO.

I know the heli's are gonna be drawn as simple as possible

Eastsider · 4-7-2008, 20:19

Looks good!
Keep on the good work dude!

Peace up,
EastSideR.

Update :OK First things First the Heli Is Done.
Finally. Due To The Shear scale of having 3 Helicopters I had To Make It As Simple as possible. When I complete the Func_tracktrain I'll post A screenie. It Also Has functional Rotating blades

.

3) Is now done

Next thing The "Main Block" as I call it ,will scare you senseless with triggers as you pass will create sound effects, traps and fire etc and a hint on the stairs in the main block "heads up." Ill cant really post a screenie of sounds of noises and traps as Its a secret

.
Also The Elevator is the scareist.

.

The "Main block" will be the most scary, but also the most rewarding. If you survive that is

Optimization for this map is going better than expected
with all these effects, noises, fire etc. But It is such pure hardness and long.

I will post screenies very soon.

Glad all over · 7-7-2008, 01:43

One more thing should I add a video showing the
*total Spoilers* Only to I3D.net for the tour of the main block?
showing what you should expect? just to show what
this map is about with this "main block"

Snowy · 7-7-2008, 08:18

A video would be cool, yes

Glad all over · 8-7-2008, 17:09

VideO is coming soon

ETA when I have almost finshed the map

I have a question to ask
I terms of gameplay would you prefer 3 helicopters each passing a block and a fight at the end?

OR

1 Helicopter passing through two blocks of flats the first being the hardest and the second being easy so humans can fight off against the second block? (And the main block flat helicopter will resume as normal)
Any reply will be good. need this done soon

here's 2 more quick previews of the inside 1 outside

as you can see from the first picture these lights will not come on or the ground break untill some1 passes a trigger

Eastsider · 8-7-2008, 18:09

Hey dude!
The flat looks awesome.
Did you make it from a real photo or something?
Or just did everything by yourself..Without photo etc.

Glad all over · 8-7-2008, 18:41

Used the Valve Normal Textures
I know a place where this flat so I used my imagination
in creating this. lol

I did'nt realise how scary these textures can play out with sounds fire and stuff.

thanks for the comment.

what about the helicopter idea? I need answers

thank you much appeaciated
The video will come soon snowy

Westsid3r · 8-7-2008, 19:11

Same as snowy said.

Glad all over · 9-7-2008, 20:54

It is finally finished
6 screenshots and the file can be found at FPS bannana
Hope it is a good map
Postive reviews would be nice

Heres a Link : FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Escape > zm_zombie_flats

Westsid3r · 10-7-2008, 03:12

I just downloaded it, didnt play it yet. I saw that your rar. file had the bsp in it but it was called "zm_zombie_flats". That will also appear on our servers, so the best thing would be that you changed the bsp name and then re-add to fpsbanana.

Glad all over · 10-7-2008, 03:19

yer that is a problem for me because if I save as....
then rename then compiling will not work
already tried before
what about zm_atix_helicopter?

Snowy · 10-7-2008, 10:58

Cool map, I hope it will get added soon

Jero · 10-7-2008, 11:00

yeah nice map

Westsid3r · 10-7-2008, 13:04

I think that zm_atix_helicopter was made before even the "ZE" section was out in fpsbanana
