This map has come a long way since I first seen it come out. The Halloween version sounds like fun to.

thanks, I've been slowly chipping away at it. It's been a good learning experience.

updated mvm_sewer_invasion_event to use the halloween items and monsters.

use the download link listed below, (download link for thread above still points to the b4 version)
http://www.2shared.com/file/VnA0mgzI/mvm_sewer_invasion_event_b5.html



====================== sewer invasion event b5 change...


-- Fixed wavespawn that would not finish in mvm_sewer_invasion_event_b5_intermidiate.pop file
-- Added spells(common and rare)
-- Added random spawn for Skeleton king, and his minions
-- added helldoor, that spawns randomly between 8 to 12 minutes. Player conditions are added such as speed boost, invunerablity and critboost for players that walk through the door.
-- Added random spawns for red/blue monoculus(the normal monoculus no longer works)
-- updated pop files so spy's should no longer carry the bomb/flag.

The link says its dead. Can you update the link?

download Link has been updated, and should let you download it now. I'm not sure what happened to the old link.

I managed to record some game play for the b7 release for both the Halloween and normal versions.

The game play with the Halloween version is chaotic but very fun to play. It has a little bit of everything from past Halloween releases.
Video: Sewer Invasion Halloween Event game play last half of wave 666

The game play with the normal version is challenging and seems balanced. The 'combat space engineer' is deadly.

Hi s0da72. Thank you for making the eulif pop files for our server. I believe that I have met you on our servers a few times. I know you know the other admin BEMHO.

I got both your regular and your event map on our server and they are played nightly. Everyone loves the spell books. You have the most requested map on our server.

Hello,

Thank you for hosting the maps. If you have any other pop files that you would like to have added let me know. I think the more pop file selection a MvM map has the better.

Love the you tube video, I notice some of the textures are different than what I see on my PC. I guess it still needs some work.

TravisTouchdown said:

Can you tell me where you got that pop file editor you was posting a picture of in an early post?

Click to expand...

It's a program I started working on, but did not finish. It lets you see stats for a pop file like money per wave, number of bots per wave, tanks, and number of wave spawns etc. It also lets you see the bot template definitions so you don't have to jump between different files. The down side is that it doesn't let you edit any of the pop files data. I didn't finish that part, it was just easier for me to edit things in notepad so I didn't bother finishing it off.

If you want to check it out I can setup a download for it. But it comes 'as is', without the editing part it's not very useful unless your looking for stats.

Map looks like a lot of fun from the video. Spells and halloween stuff just make everything more fun. It seems a tad dark and maybe a bit ugly though. I could see it maybe going official if valve is up to it.

I noticed in Travis's youtube video some of the textures are different than what I see when I play the map.

this is what I see when playing the same map . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FyBjXxrQ_g

Does anyone know why the textures would be different between the two?


If anyone is interested in trying out the Halloween version of the map to see what game play is like with spells Sandy's D 9 man mvm server[23.226.234.143:27015] has it available and can be voted in for loading.

TravisTouchdown said:

That is simple S0da. I make my own textures for TF 2. 90 % of them are re-done. Mine are 24 bit high res. The weapons skins, I got from another website that I wont name because I am not sure about the rules about naming other websites.

Ok, that would explain it. I noticed one other thing when you were looking down the death pit with the waterfall I noticed it had the purple checkered texture which I believe is an issue with how I'm building the map. Do you see that with both the normal version and Halloween version?

TravisTouchdown said:

Dang. I was hoping it was a pop file edit program. I wanted to get my community out and making pop files for the servers. I have made over 100 in the past year. Some of the guys have been using websites but the sites are always missing something that is key like one site dont add in the "where spawnnamehere" and I have to go back and edit all the pop files to add in that line

I sent you a friend request on steam.

Maybe someday I'll finish it off, but currently I would rather be making maps with my free time rather than programming.

TravisTouchdown said:

It does that to me on a few maps. It had something to do with reflections. I have to keep my reflections turned off or set to simple. What ever the lowest option is then that is what mine is set as.

Maybe I should use a different water texture so that doesn't show up.
