hello again i been working on new paintballs maps
and plaining on releaseing them friday because am working with kingpin maps and textures you need to have the textures to run the maps so far i have 3 beta map in testing and more to come soon here find new screenshot
http://www.kingpinforever.com/cujodesign/projects.html
download should be ready friday in maps page i have lot of plain for new maps for paintball and other stuff other mapper have maps release soon. so far the 2 maps in testing look and plays good won't know till lot test it so friday check it out
pack be 71mb

They look great! Small suggestion, though -- it's hard to tell from the screenshots, but it looks like your map is loaded with full auto guns. It's best to keep those at a minimum -- makes the game more challenging, not just a spray fest. Better to just have a couple per map located in some more out-of-the-way places.
-
wide open spaces? might be good in other games but...
we'll see when the maps come out
-
Good looking stuff man.
-
working on the pack
-
Let me know when they are ready for public servers. Try and get a few people together and test them on a listen server. ALso you need to make jpegs of the textures, it will take way too long for someone to dl them in-server, on top of that you need .wal files for the people who still use q2+mod to play.
-
well if very one download this betapack all textures and maps in the pack i ran these map with other they seem to run nicely kingpin useing tga there lot more detailed then pball textures they seem download about the same.
-
Q2 users will not be able to play these at all. And besides alot of people will end up playing because they just hit the server, we have many new players now. So having jpgs will make a big difference to them. I won't put them on Depot servers without jpegs and .wal files instead of the tgas.
-
mmm ok see what i can do

Re: i am not sure how to add wals file mybe you help in this area all textures are jpg 13mb ^paintballpack.zip

let's see...now i can reveiw them!
dogpound--
WAAAAY to small. and one of the spawn points is off the map, and when i run pball, i get fps of 50-40, but w/ this map i got 20. It's too small, and too complicated.
Ps--did anyone tell you that this is a CTF OREINTED GAME??? i don't see a flag...
Next map.
losthalls--
This one's okay...but too dmish. if it was dm, and a bit bigger it would be good. whole ctf thing again.
sickre--
This one has some potential..as a dm map. don't see many of those. problems: lack of guns, the only ones i could find were autocockers, ect.
tmc--
YAY! one that looks like it might be made for ctf!!!
might...
big open spaces w/ only a large pile of crates: bad. no flag: bad. Lack of guns/ really good guns: bad.
You have to play the game some before you map for it, k? youve obviously been mapping for a long time, but play the game some. it'll make your maps lots better.
-
eii made some good points, a couple of those maps would make better deathmatch maps than ctf/team elim maps. The one that you did put flags in seems good as it is though.

ok i see what i missed i did not place the type of weapons. and tmc should be ctf map ?
i run back though few the maps change the weapons since i use the q3rad editor it has to be done by hand for edited to use weapon types use my firends working on new def.file for q3radient editor just got that today [;-( no problem in fixing that sorry about that first time in mapping for paintball it's lot diffent then kp/q3/halflife and yes i thought i set the maps up for deathmatch and 1 ctf mm did miss something ?
since i have limited def.file for q3rad i edited the maps now [;-)
well since this is first time mapping for pointball had lot good infor from eii thanks
as you know am useing q3radient editor lot diffent them paintball quake2 editor as thanks to hypov_8 for limited def.file ican start makeing some map with types and weapons
which was limited in beta maps. hopefully with help from you guys i pop in some good maps for your guy paintball game
-
Make sure you set the right worldspawn variables.
for dm maps use...
gamemode 1
for 2 flag it's
gamemode 4
and for 1 flag ctf (which maybe one of those maps could be) use...
gamemode 2
If the map is set to dm it will start instantly even if there's just one player on.

This is pretty much up to date except for the fact that the servers don't use 300 rd hoppers, they end up as 200 rd hoppers instead.
You don't actually have to put grenades unless you really want one to spawn in a specific area. The server will generate a couple every rd scattered near the spawn points.

I hope we're not violating anyone's copyrights here :)

I hope we're not violating anyone's copyrights here ?

As in illegally distributing textures and such that came from another game. I'm not sure how much they care about that. I wouldn't worry about the .wal's -- Q2 users can suffer like the not-willing-to-pay-$20-for-a-new-video-card bastards that they are. ;)
-
Nah, I'm not ready to hoist the q2 users out just yet.
-
Well, they can still play -- it just gives them more of an incentive to upgrade :)
red...spots...everywhere!
-
that happened to me once...when i was on morphine in the hospital
-
has anyone played this map or ran this map on a server? does it work for paintball
-
Come on into #pbmappers on irc.enterthegame.com and we'll set a server up and test em.
-
Ok, finally got a chance to look at some of these. First off, they look pretty good, relative to most of many of the other paintball maps out there. When releasing maps, though, you should really only include the textures you're using. Having like 30 megs of textures when you only need 4 or 5 is bad... Plus there's some thumbs.db files in there and other crap --- even the textures that are included with paintball2! Don't need all that. :) The textures are kind of dark, too. you might want to knock the gamma up on them a bit when you save them as jpegs (Paintball2 requires brighter textures because it doesn't modify them and lose quality -- original quake2 doubles the brightness of textures on load).
Let's see:
pb_tmc - this one looks like it might work well. There are several misaligned box textures. It'd be nice if you fixed those. One of the ladders was going all whacky like it had two ladders placed on top of each other. I like how you spread the equipment out. I noticed there was one area where you climbed up a ladder onto little platform and the only thing that was there was CO2. You might want to put an autococker and steel barrel up there, too - give people an incentive to bother going up there. Check your spawns. I was blue and spawned near the read base (on that platform I just described). All those metal support things look like they're supposed to be transparent. If you make the texture a 32bit TGA with alpha, and use trans33+trans66 flags on the surface, it'll use the alpha transparency of the texture.
pb_sickre – I’d have this one be a deathmatch map. I’d also go with full randomization of the guns (don’t specify a type – just use weapon_pballgun). Having all autos will ruin the gameplay (people just sit in one spot and spray).
pb_dogpoindv2a – my slower comp doesn’t like this map very much. I only get like 20fps. It might work as a single flag map as well as team elim. If you put a flag on that center barrel then had the bases up at the top – you’ll need some kind of platform to designate where to bring the flag. I’d strip down the equipment as much as possible. Too much will make it too laggy, since everything is basically 1 room.
pb_losthalls – don’t really care for this one. You could maybe make it a 4-team elimination map.
-
cool thanks yah am working on the pb_tmc mostly working out the stuff i missed in kingpin notice that juniors don't work in quake2 much for dynamic lighting like kingpin does the textures are darker in pb guess pb don't the fps i get 128fps guess my ati card
kept working out the kingpin stuff and lighten the textures and alin boxes [;-)
weapons thought i added all the weapons in q3Rad it sets all diffent types on weapon for each pballgun like when you added vm68 /spyder/automag
i though i added these guns in place that was not so easy to get to and not close to spawn area's i think i set these up for dm and ctf set both infor_player with team1 and team 2 start infor-dm ? with gamemode 4 in world mm maybe i set it worng
-
You have to use "teamnumber," not "team."
