Roleplay 2 Coming Soon (Update Pics)
type: item
description: Roleplay 2 many of you have probably heard about, if not it is a good time to take a look at all that it has to offer. I have been putting together the last few additions for this beta for a few months and all alone, although i do work quite fast in my opinion. The map doesn't have cnc mode (atleast yet) but can make for a good map to just fool around on, chat with buddies, deathmatch, or do roleplaying games. There is really no goal yet other then to mess around, but that's the most fun thing to do in a game if you have no limits. There is alot more planned, so even if this isen't up to par there is always time to sculpt it into a real city eventually with all you would expect to see in an ordinary one. Anyways, i have exported the final cut of this beta and it has been sent to canadaCdn who is going to try to put together a mix format of it so we can all try it out ingame together. This will be fully public so no need to ask etc. Here is some pictures of the latest cut. Interior for stripclub. And a bunch of New world pics. I will announce the beta soon as it becomes available.

description: Yea i have plans to eventually move nearly all the interiors into the worldspace so i can spruce up the map with plant life, and telephone posts and whatnot. This is in progress while CanadaCdn is making the current release so there is no hold up on the map. I am in hopes that some of the more experienced scripters and such could help with stuff like setting up slot machines with a sound/animation, or working with other features like animations for a crane, and the more advanced stuff.

You have to get a hex editor and hack renegade.exe I can't remember what line its on. And I think if you make this change you won't be able to play on line. But I honestly can't remember if thats the case.

Yes a second pass would be nice but that also requires having another texture being rendered on that pass, which also means you end up with more repetative textures since they would all use the same pass2. I think some things just gotta be plain, look at any game you play you see textures tile reguardless of how many passes, or what effects are on those. Otherwise if you can, show me a picture of it with a normal road texture just to compare the visual detail. I am sure no matter what there will always be a repetative look to it, so not much can be done unless i made dozens of road textures with different details in each.

There is no set server for it, though a few people already have plans to host dedicated servers for it. And the file size i decided we didn't really need to have the textures as tga, so all them are Dds now and that alone took down the filesize down to what it is now. I'm sure it wont be only 65 mb when the level edit is fully done, so it may get back to 100, but i doubt we will see the 400mb mix's anymore for this map.

Any way one is a van, one is a helicopter, and one is a race car the rest are normal civilian cars. If you guys want more of a variety I will give them all to you (I only use them on two levels and they are all already boned).

Yea it is sad to say that there isen't many vehicles in total let alone civ ones. I usually take what i can get given they have a set amount of polygons and a decent texture (usually go for photorealistic over anything) so getting them can be tricky. I took a look at the pack you sent, and i can only see one Castrol car that might be salvaged since all the rest are ranging from 30-80,000 polygons, and most have no texture at all. I don't quite want 2 cars to equal the entire maps polygon count lol. I try to stick with anything under 3000, so its quite hard to do anything with the others.

description: Still in my opinion bots dont lag unless you abuse them, like putting tons in each place. I still think it needs bots, but i am not the one doing level edit so i don't have full say on what he does lol. Stuff like custom scripts would be really helpful as alot of the stuff i do want seems impossible to get ingame because of the complexity of making them work etc. Things like mini games that actually either pay you or reward you in specific ways, like say you have basketball weapon and you fire it into a hoop it would trigger a message that you got one in, this would be good to make basketball courts with for mini games lol. As well as having stuff like purchasable health that only is used when you go in that slot and click. Or stuff like advanced slot machines with animations on cylinders that would somehow trigger upon the cylinders lining up in a specific rotation, (3 bells/3 7s etc)then having a sound play and giving you your money. As well having new water scripts to enable people to still travel into the water with a vehicle but at the same time use a boat. That alone i am pretty sure cant be done but its a hope lol. These are just concepts in my mind that would make the gameplay more enjoyable, otherwise its just a huge deathmath with cars. There is still lots of time though so i dont really worry about these aspects.

description: Just make them spawn under a command, we don't want the game to lag because of bots. If you put bots in don't forget to do pathfind. If you guys don't have a computer that can do a pathfind really fast I do, I did level 10's pathfind on my new computer in about 7min and that level is 2000 by 2000.

description: Yeah, but pathfind eats almost a gb of RAM on my machine for a 7500x7500 map, a 50000x50000 map would probably need about 6 gb or more... even if you got all that with virtual memory, it would take a LOT longer as it has to keep going back to the pagefile to find its data.....

Okay even though I have over 8 GB of RAM here is how you could do it, do his idea, and then create your own waypaths with innate enabled connecting these areas. If it is done right they will follow the waypaths on their own. But as a side note if you have no pathfind at all do not add bots, as much fun as it is to shoot ai that are stuck against walls.

description: nopol10 wrote on Mon, 29 January 2007 04:02 You still have to generate pathfind. Course you do... Do you know how the human generators work? Or how the path blockers work? The human generators are where pathfind is calculatedly from, and the path blockers restrict the area where pathfind is generated. So I make the assumption that it won't use as much ram, because the area that is been processed is limited. Its quite possible I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.

description: Haven't tried this without pathfind but you could try it. Give the bots the script m08_goto_star. Or maybe it's m03. It makes the bot go directly after a human controlled player (no matter what team). I used it to make some very deadly Hum-Vee bots in my map Mutant's Revenge.

description: Yea i do remember a long time ago Napalmic had started setting up the pathfinding and he did have a ton of areas that had pathfind blockers as you would put it, The areas in green were the areas bots could go, where as red was a totally restricted area for the bots far as i can remember atleast. I am sure it wont kill anyones computer by having just a few bots in seperate locations itself that cannot stray. Like having them inside interiors only wouldnt take much if you made your own pathfinding blockers?

description: Yea with a map this size that is a huge problem, where as most people make a map based on the 300 metre view range, as well as having an open area for the bots to explore, where as roleplay 2 has things from tiny curbs, to bus stops, benches, buildings etc that it would have to dodge. That's kinda why i think we should only have them indoors just to avoid having problems. This can still simulate that they are in their working environment and thats where they belong.

Pathfind would keep them form getting stuck on any of that stuff, the only problem is the amount of time it would take to generate.
