[Released] wmp_battlemounds v0.5

[JeCa]

Thanks a lot for those commands. It's going to be fun seeing the combines trying to navigate the map without the AI as well .

[Anti Viper]

I got the problem of enemies massing up troops in one base and not doing anything with them as well (last time they had like 50 stalkers - yes - that stood massed around the point in the starting area) but only with the enemy combines.

Yeah the stalker parties should lessen as the map + mod progresses.

However, I'd suggest putting "add victory conditions" to that To Do list, as the map more or less plays in sandbox mode right now .

Remember this is only a very early release of the map, also victory may be decided in a different way when multiplayer is released.

[JeCa]

Yea I know, just pointing it out. It's not like I hate you because your map in Ver 0.3 doesn't tell me when I win . And it seems you won't need to do any scripting for wictory conditions at all when it comes to multiplayer, so it's easy to see who knows what they're doing.

But as a note of interest, do you simply try to create a map the AI will more easily understand when fixing clusters, or do you actually add info_hint_nodes and similar to help them find their way?

[Anti Viper]

To Do List:
- Clean up Displacements
- Clean up brush work
- Add more Detail models
- Add Objectives / Victory & Defeat Conditions

Ill just stick them in there for some Winning satisfaction

Once you have made your map you set the engine to generate a navigation mesh which usually does a pretty good job of reading where the walkable areas are. You can still use node but I find them painful for a whole map.

Cool map! So you haven't prepped it for human vs. human multiplayer yet correct? Once you've done that let me know and I'll help you test it!

[HellSpawn]

well, this doesn't work on the current build SP, since entities now need their script files defined in hammer (for modding ease)

Ill probably do some adjustments soon to get rid of the auto AI and make it compatible with the latest development build. Its gonna be cool testing with 4 human players

Haha, that always helps doesn't it . And yes, I'd love to see this in a fully functioning multiplayer mode. I managed to host a game and get a friend to join me (every map crashed except this one) but he had to constantly battle his own AI for the control over his units, so that didn't turn out too well...

wmp_forest should work online too? The other hlw_ maps are single player maps and are using a lot of single player only entities ( so they might or might not work online ), although I will try to fix some of the stuff for online usage.
wmp_forest should be started through the map "room".

Well, we both downloaded wmp_forest separately, and there was no map mismatch meaning that either both did it right or both did the same mistake (seems unlikely to me :/), but when we started the game there weren't any units on screen at all. We got wmp_TheBridge Alpha working as well but as that one's hughely unbalanced (I started with a point, he didn't) there wasn't much of a point in playing it. Still the game seems to work perfectly, so I'll just stick around and see what happens.
