It's a nice start, very reminiscent of the original M1 (which was obviously the intention). They'd benefit from being a bit more gritty-looking, but I haven't the faintest idea how one would manage to pull that off. Which is a large part of the reason I concentrate my attention on mapmaking rather t...

I don't really need any help with any levels on Eternal, I was just curious. And yeah, I knew about the old Rubicon spoiler guide (it's actually accessible under "3rd party scenarios" from the link he with the King Crimson avatar posted as well), hence why I specified Rubicon X.

No one ever made a spoiler guide for Rubicon X or Eternal X, did they? Just curious.

There's pretty much no way to make it work when a shapes file contains more than sixty-four textures, is there? 'Cause every time I've tried it on my scenario's maps (there are an average of 120 textures per set), it's resulted in crashes. Which has pretty much prevented me from overhauling the text...

Incidentally, there's a secret underneath the lava once you punch the wiring, but if you're playing on a higher difficulty setting it requires a rather tremendous amount of skill to be able to navigate it successfully.

I think if your gonna have a bad end, that it should be a bad ASS ending. Like where in which the Player says screw all of this and everyone and destroys EVERYTHING. That already happens in Red. It would be kind of pointless to have a second scenario that does the same thing. Besides, Eternal's end...

Heck no! IMHO, the omega cannon is supposedly good, but it's actually useless. Though it's an instant-kill, it doesn't have AOE damage as far as I know and it fires slowly. This in and of itself wouldn't be too bad (think railgun) but it has a simply horrendous recoil which pushes any credibility a...

ah, I didn't realise lhowon.org had scenario-specific MML files. Makes sense then.

I've never had any trouble with the files I downloaded from http://source.bungie.org/get/

In M1 the most fun weapon to use is almost certainly the alien scatter gun, though there's something to be said for flamethrowers as well. In M2, MI and Tempus, the best weapon is the shotgun, especially in pairs. That said, I use the fists a lot more because I tend to be very conservative with my a...

He was using Level 1 as an example of a level name.

oh, I should've figured that

Welcome to the boards dood.

or if you're using a Windoze box, just PrtScr should do it (alt+PrtScr if you want just the Aleph One window, but I find that to be a pain in the arse since alt is my secondary fire trigger as well).

I don't really have any preference between the two choices you listed, but for love of god please use "[Map Name]" rather than "Level Number" as the main part of the file name.

Aye Mak Sicur. I bet you're not the first person to make that mistake, so don't feel too bad about it. But yeah, the first half of the map is fairly similar, except that it's a vacuum level and thus there are now oxygen rechargers next to all the pattern buffers. The second half is (obviously) compl...

Welcome to the Pfhorums.

It's not that big compared to other levels in the solo scenario, much less some of the levels from Eternal and Rubicon. The new version adds about 400 polygons, currently.

I'm not sure if I'd consider it a racial slur, but if the reader did not realize the ironic undertone, it could sure as hell be insulting. My aim was to imitate the over-the-top anti-communist attitude of Americans during the McCarthy era, a mindset I find simultaneously hilarious and sad. I guess ...

Can't you use per-level MML for that? If so, just don't use it on the solo maps :P MML that affects ammo limits = out of sync netgames, unless all players have it. True enough. On the other hand I suppose I could use MML to lower the ammo limit substantially by default, then *increase* it with per-...

I don't mind a little lag, but when my comp (which is from around 2006) starts running at below 20fps it's clearly gotten into the realm of ridiculous. I'm inclined to agree. edit: actually I just tested my two most visually complex maps and the only time they lag is when that ammo respawning proble...

That desktop is amazing. /r/ sauce

Mine is boring and messy. I had a rather cool 'Communist Party' image with Marx et al. decked out in festive regalia on my previous desktop, but haven't been arsed to set the image on this one to anything interesting yet.

That + visual_mode.lua means that Forge is going to be largely outdated soon, hopefully.

I guess the main reason I like to place so much ammo is because a discerning player can tell where other players have recently been when ammo is missing from its usual location. It adds an extra dimension of strategy to net play.

Oh, sorry. I figured Treellama would probably see these since he posts here, but I completely forgot sourceforge had its own bug reporting section. That's what I get for being away from the community for so long I guess.

edit: if necessary, you can delete this thread now.

Except if there are that many guns it's not going to take long before someone guns down the player who's hoarding. That's true to a certain extent, unless they're hoarding *ALL* the ammo for *ALL* the guns. Though that would be rather difficult to accomplish. That said, I'll take your word for it s...
