Toys for the boys - lighthouse map done

Hello mapping types

At last my little lighthouse map is finished. You can grab the final version from the web page below.

Thanks very much for help and to the clans and individuals who put in time to play test the early devs - cheers all!

Haven’t played it in a real match yet but it looks very nice. Good job with the sound effects also!

Couldn’t find any significant errors either but:

-Console reports two missing textures: military_wall/grnwall_m06c and metal_misc/shiny_metal_small
-On top of the lighthouse I seemed to be ‘dragged’ towards the top even without pressing any key
-Roof on the main building looks too thin

-lighthouse light dosent show dyna can be planted

Looks great, just trying to find a server with ppl playing!

(mrfin) #15

Thanks for the posts ppl

fattakin - you’re right - no dyno icon when you’re in trigger!
will be sorted
map seems to play ok so far - It’ll take a while before folk know about it
it’s in rotation over at magic’s ‘bloody secret’ server which was quite busy earlier

leiifhv - those two textures were taken out - one or 2 hidden bits got missed
but theres no orange and black squares so im not too fussed.

  • roof is supposed to be thin-could put a gutter on I suppose
    the top of the light roof is a ladder so players can get right to the top to find the plaque that dc9 found

cheers dc9, kic, ken, ChiemseeMan,nedd,pytox, aborted, shazam and nullskillz

time to start another one?!

:banana: On our SHOCK & AWE SERVER 205.177.13.221:27960

Great map…Nice Frag Fest.

At first I was thinking to add a second spawn in the water for axis, but they can run around the island quickly so I dont think there is a need for it.
Maybe a second area for them to build ropes?

Nice attention to detail too! :clap:

It is in our rotation! And I found your Plaque at the TOP of the lighthouse :smiley:
Thanks for a fun map!

As ive only played it on my own, is there a forward spawn for the allies or will they always spawn on the ship?

will be on looking a game with peeps tonight!

Hi Fatakin - have just pm you

The map is on rotation here and there - this server is good for europe evening times, good bunch of players in here: 213.19.130.64:27960

Axis spawn on the ship - they can capture a forward flag under the gun - and choode to spawn there from the limbo map when it is captured.

(Sippenhaft) #19

is there a forward spawn for the allies or will they always spawn on the ship?

There is a capturable flag that give a forward spawn…but lose it and you back at the boat.
Go in BACK way up ladders, once in go down stairs on your left and youll see the flag.Stairs just past constructuble CP.

mrfin, do you plan make another map?
