You may have noticed I haven't posted here in a while... in fact, I haven't posted here since I got UT2004.

Here's what I have been working on in UT2004 for the past few days. These shots are all in the editor because I haven't got it working in-game yet. It's Onslaught.


Overview of the whole level so far (Finished aesthetically and architecturally, need to finish pathnoding).


One of the side nodes of the small buildings. The other small building you see far away is an exact mirror of this. And...


The inside of the small building. The node is located inside so you can't snipe it, and so vehicles can;t dominate it. Good ol' cramped fraggin' only here!


The middle node, and most important. Most important because there are the only turrets on top of this building (six of them), AND six Raptors, whereas the main bases for each side only have 3 Raptors each, and the side nodes only have 2 each.


Old shot of the red base. What I added since this shot: 3 Raptors on the edge closest to the camera, the Basecore is in that nook in the corner (There is glass in those windows, so you can't snipe the core), and flags on the building depicting the side it belongs to.

So, here's the gig: Small ONS map, Raptor only (For the UT2004-deprived, the Raptor is the main Air to Air atmosphere craft), no ground or hovering vehicles, two basecores on opposite sides, 3 nodes in-between. The two nodes on the smaller buildings are unlocked right away, and you need to possess one of them to unlock the middle node, which has 6 turrets on top of it. That's it! Simple enough?

Hokay! What do you think?

OH YA!!! raptors for JK!!!!

It's awesome, but severely lacking in the Wraith department

Eh...it looks okay, but the playing the real test. Also, look at the UT2k4 map update, cause...uh...it's just like this level and likely better.

Once I play, I will know.

Very. Sweet. And I'm not just saying that cuz UT2k4 is my new fav game. I love the concept of yer map... so all the real fighting will take place in the air, then? Thats sweet. I think the flow will work, albiet extremely fast paced.

I hope you considered this, tho... Unless theres a complex node structure (like the map Dira, I think it's called), the towers aren't too close together, and there's enough avrils on each node, you will be looking at some ridiculously short games.

BTW, if I where you, I'd add some tall skycrapers off to the distance... add to the Courasant-like future city feel.

There is a thin line between insanity and stupidity. I am that line.

First off, wtf is a Wraith? There is no Wraith in UT2004. You mean Manta? No. The Manta hovers. It can fall. Falling in vehicles = bugs (vehicles stuck on walls). I want no ground-based vehicles in this map.

Second off, there are tall skyscrapers in the distance, you just can't see them in those screenshots. No, I don't want this to look like it belongs in Coruscant. Wrong universe, bub.

Third off, what UT2k4 map update? You mean download the latest maps online? Yes, this map is vaguely based off that map ONS-Icarus, in the way that it's based on skyscrapers. That hap had wheeled vehicles, thus the ability to exploit bugs. (Tanks usually get stuck on walls, and the Leviathan can fly, I don't want that to happen in my map!) So, flying vehicles only. Unless third-party users can manage to get another working flyer, then the Raptor will be the only vehicle in this map.

Mkay?

Give each side a leveithian, and then add a small rail so it can't go over it.

That way, you can have tanks blasting the crap out of each other from afar.

RIP -MaDaVentor-. You will be missed.

There's a way to make the Levi fly no matter how many rails there are, ya know. There's no way to not make the levi fly with Raptors and Levis in the map together.

What you do: Nudge the raptor up close to the side of the levi. Then get in the levi and deploy. Then get in the raptor and fly it around. The levi will be attached. So, you see, you can't not make the levi fly with it and raptors in the map together.

I had an unproductive day today, and I will be away all day tomorrow, so keep posting so I can get input!

heh, I know what universe it is... just an example, bub I only suggested it because the suroundinding areas looked devoid of.... anything.

Still. You should still have them in there.

I have about three surrounding the main level, you just can't see them in those screenshot angles.

Oh, and Gonk said my naaaame! I feel special!
