Greetings from koth_zero_g!
Note: This map is getting resuscitated! You may notice some of these posts dating back to 2011, this is because I pretty much left off development for Zero G when I started college. Now that I'm about to wrap things up and graduate, it's time to revisit this! I'm super excited to get back into it, bear with me as I dust off this 4 year old ancient!
Original post below
==================
Zero_g is just a little sidemap I have been working on while thunderclap hasn't been in testing, it's simply a koth map set in space. In future versions I'd like to work out a low gravity setting for the outdoors, but right now the trigger_push I was using to accomplish this made the map rather buggy. If I get a working low gravity environment in later versions it will be added to the map rest assured.
There are a few things about the map that I don't expect to last very long. These are
- The open spaces between the spawn and the hill
- Possibly the location of the hill relative to the spawns [CHANGED]
- Cap times, spawn times etc
- The skybox. I'm going to start work on a custom space-themed one very soon. EDIT: tried and failed that, may try again sometime
If you have any comments about the map please don't hesitate to post them here. I don't care how major the changes you suggest or problems you point out, if they are not fixed they will remain in the map. I only say this because I've had a few cases where I change something I should have changed before, and then people tell me "yeah I didn't like that point anyways". So please, if you have anything to say about it, I don't care how rude or mean it is, let it be said.
Also, don't hesitate to critique my [dev] detailing. This is probably what the brushwork will look like in beta, so don't hesitate to stop me from making anything bad now
Finally, thank you to
- Boojum, for helping me resolve areaportal problems, and for the resource pack.
- WastedMeerkat for pointing out the existance of func_gravity from which I found trigger_gravity.
- Void for his cleaning nozzles models
- Anyone who tests this!
