ive been bored lately so i decided to create a deathmatch using some westwood C&C building set where, nod start in a pp, gdi start in the barracks, and there is no floor outside of buildings, but infantry fly instead.

it will be a mix map when it's done, and will probably be uploaded to renegadezone.com

what do you think?

I like your new approach to gameplay

I've also had this idea, and many many other wacky ones, I suggest you build on the ideas you have and who knows you could create a new style of play and breath a bit of life in to ren (thats really what players want) thats how my duel arena started

Back to your mod

Some ideas that may inspire you.. how about floating islands?

http://rogerdean.com/images/FI_15_01.jpg

with low gravity soilders aswell as flying infantry jumping from floating rock to rock? zen in half-life maybe? think how this would effect the current use of weapons in ren if a beacon was planted would troops fly around rocky caves around the base of the floating island to locate it

quick concept
http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1014056135

Maybe you could take the fantasy idea a bit further

http://www.rpgamer.com/games/atelier/aiem2/art/aiem2art011.jpg

or

Good luck, go develope some great ideas Big Ups

if i beacon was planted on somewhere that is not solid ground what would happen? would the beacon just fall so you couldn't disarm it? i like the low gravity concept but you would have to edit scripts.dll(i think). i dont like the idea of just flying though, i think you should fall if you dont make a rock, because you would get a n00b team just hiding. like on MP-Gaming[Mission] (M10.mix)

LOL
no, the beacon, when planted, stands
(I once placed a beacon an a vec, drove the vec away)
The beacon was just floading in the air!

Well, Renegade Engine...

on this thought you cant plant a beacon while flying.


but fortunately enough, there is script zones at every entrance to every building where, if you leave the building you fly, when you enter it you land.


also, you cant see it but there is a plane which is hidden and has only one physical setting: vehicle, just so its posiible to drive vehicles about.

i'll have to add a platform where you can buy vehicles or get vehicle spawners, as you cant get in vehicles as a flying infantry.


oh, and, btw, i will create another different map of the same type and see how that works out.


also, there is an invisible barrier to stop people going too high/far off the map. Smile

players can shoot through the walls you know you also have no physical collision on the WF smoke stacks

i dont know whats gone wrong, but everytime i go to export it as a mix file now, i'll load up the map, yet the terrain wont be there.


this is getting really frustrating as i have used the same method i used for the beta release.

You could have the land with all collision attached to it, the floating island things. Then have an invisible plane with just vehicle collision on it so it would look as if the vehicles were floating. Big Ups

it's not about just adding stuff to it personally i like to see a style or some ideas to come across in the visual look of a map

C&C_bio has a dirty feel to fit the theme of bio tech centers and tiberium monsters

in C&C_tropics the environment feels very vast like it really is set on a small island during a tropical strom.

an C&C_ancients has a mysterious feel to it

Do you think you can modify your map to fit a theme or make it 'feel' like it's not just a bunch of mesh and texture??

Just make sure you have a few semi-large island so there could be some decent infantry playing. Also, what about vehicles?

LOL Just a thought imagine Orcas,Apaches, Transprorts, trying to run, or I should say, hit an infantry in mid air, LOL. If the new map were to have any flying vehicles, you should definetly increase their armor. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

The more you do it the easier it gets

first think of the environment that you wish to create draw sketches or copy referance images

ask yourself questions, think of how the environment will look, how will it sound, how will players feel when they play it..

and the best way of all is to ask yourself "why does this suck?" i do it all the time lol

the floating islands environment i'm imagining would be large and airy i would use various wind sounds for diffrent floating islands depending on what was on them, when jumping from small rocks to other small rocks the player would feel in a bit of a pracarious situation so I would increase the volume of the wind making it sound stronger to increase the tension of the situation

There are some ideas to get you thinking Wink

normally when you crouch and point the rocket launcher down it fires beneath the floor, i wonder what would happen with this map....
oh and if you are scripting a floating matriz can you add a secondary fire to every weapon or just a shortcut key that you hold when colliding with an object with no settings for collosion so you just kung-foo kick off?
or maybe script a powerup that turns the level upside down only for the people whom pick it up, maybe even one that makes your gravity change to a entirely random poziton i.e. diagonally.

these are only suggestions, not orders and i dont think i will be able to script anything for it untill i read the 9999999pg manual.

please note that this was posted half way through the list of posts above.
