Couldn’t wait for you to finish the port faster, but the wait paid off :smiley: .

A great map as always & very nicely ported :thumbup:

Map looks cool but I think you should not use too many different respawn times. I suggest the following: healthpacks, batteries, LJ-modules, rechargers -> 30 seconds weapons and ammo -> 20 seconds (HLDM and AG default timings)… thinking about egon I would either place it in a narrow area which is hard to move through or place only very few ammo near it. Personally I’m not a fan of unnecessary complicating item-timings (in reflex, quake, unreal and Half-Life I always timed items by feel) and I think respawn timings should always be the same in every map to avoid confusion… I guess it wouldn’t be too bad if egon respawned each 30 seconds, but really I’d much rather like to see standardized item timings… edit: haven’t played the map yet, but maybe it was better to place less weapons or less ammo in some areas instead of using many different individual respawn times. Also more than 30 seconds respawn time is way too much for any item… But maybe Egon + 2 ammoclips could be an exception if it was easy to reach for the player.

I assure you I have put much thought and care into the weapons/items spawn times, placement and the amount to make sure everything is extremely well balance.
The map dm_airfusion has a very similar weapons/items spawn times that works/flows very well and keeps gameplay fun.

If everyone picks up the tau or gluon and ammo_energy every 15sec, the players will just camp that area as it’s the most powerful weapons for easy kills constantly. (We’ve seen this happen too much in maps)
This is why weapon balance has to be put into place by the mappers. Not only does it keep the flow going with people running around in a map, it makes the experience more enjoyable. (Assures players are not going to exploit the powerful weapons to)
Also note that players drop ammo packs on death.

WHY must nothing be simple on Linux?!

This map looks absolutely gorgeous. - I’ve downloaded it as well as forwarded it to a few friends.

Sadly I’m getting an error extracting; but I’m sure it’s a Ubuntu issue and I’m trying to figure out what :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

But keep up the good work, gtamike! I’ll be sure to take some screenshots for my profile in-game :}

EDIT: I hate you. > :frowning:

Why not upload it to the steam workshop instead of using gamebanana?

#9

I tired many times but seems to fail to upload for some reason.
Here’s a screenshot: https://gtamike.tsgk.com/my_maps/bms/bugged/bugged.png
Also I tired to upload the map loading screens file with the map and well here’s a video about that problem to: youtube.com/watch?v=3-6_vc0UMMg

I’ll try again at some point maybe it was just some bad luck lol

#10

The vpk.exe has a filesize limit.
So make one .vpk with the maps folder and one .vpk for the materials folder.

Then put both .vpks in the folder where you upload your mod and use the black mesa publish tool.

For my resource pack for the A Spy in a Madmans way, I have:
spymaterials_dz.vpk
spymaterials_models.vpk
spymaterials_custom.vpk
spysound.vpk

I have one .vpk for each of the maps in my maps package too.

Ok thanks, i’ll give it another shot tomorrow then.

I’ve got it up on the workshop now: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=562172251
