ARENA Incendio a5

[NoodleCollie]

Forgot to post this here so far, so here we go. An arena map in homage to the early (<= 3) Harry Potter PC games I used to play as a child. Equip your spell book slot.

Todo:
- Assess suitability for a KOTH map.

But how?

Perhaps making this map was a big mistake.

 

[NoodleCollie]

Compiled an A3. Only thing really left to do before I start detailing is possibly shift the whole top side of the map back a bit to make more room on the higher ground, as it seems a bit cramped there at the moment.

I don't know where people are getting a pony connection; this is clearly based on that Harry Potter game that what's-his-name did a Let's Play of years ago.

Anyway, I'd recommend ditching the bottomless-pit voice line triggers at the cliff's edge and go with a proper bottomless pit (as in deep enough for the whole line to play before they hit bottom) under the point. Other than that I have no suggestions.

I want tonight's STV demo more than anything in the world.

Why do you maps always look so nice?

 

[Oswinnin]

Looks fun, can't wait to try it out!

Made a small video of some of tonight's test.

After this evening's test it appears there are growing camping problems around the spell pickup. Looking into addressing these, as well as adding other things and making the map a little bit larger.

I don't know if you know about this, but the Halloween HUD does not appear when on this map like it should.

I am aware of this - apparently the tf_logic_holiday entity is supposed to make it work, but it didn't for me.

I assume you've seen this?

I assume you've seen this?

I hadn't, actually - I thought that point_servercommands weren't allowed in maps being tested, but if it does work then that might be the only way forward.

 

[Freyja]

I believe using the output OnMultiNewMap rather than OnMapSpawn on a logic_auto to target your point_servercommand means that it only affects that map, and reverts after the map changes.
