tron football

[floven1]

could we make a football-oid map in either derez or disc arena
if not, how close could we get?

That would be a interesting way to play. I guess it'd have to be 3rd person in order to see ball coming?

[floven1]

something similar was done in UT 2004 with the bombing run match, you couldnt see them give you the ball untill it hit you usually, i think this could work with first person.
I will start work on the base map. if it doesnt work, ill just make it into something else

There was a Quake 2 mod that had a football field level that was really fun to play actually. The ball was a bloody head lol. It was in 1st person. I guess something of the sort wouldn't be completely impossible to do in Tron 2.0

okay i will keep you updated then, anyone who wants to help can have a copy of the map. they just need to give me an email address. as attachments are the only way i have to send maps
if i edit a post in an old thread, will it show up as a new post?

EDIT: new problem can I make a brush that will allow weapon fire through but stop players from moving through?

this is football with a sniper-bomber twist by the way

Nope.

can I make a brush that will allow weapon fire through but stop players from moving through?

After you bind the brush to a WorldModel, set its SurfaceOverride to Invisible.

As for a place to host your maps, you can use http://myfreefilehosting.com/ as a quick and easy way to make them available for download.

An easier way (and with less cost related to performance and stuff): You can set up a texture using an ID (doubleclick a texture that should be used as 'block user not weapon'). The input 'flags' offers you a choice to enter an ID which you have to take from the ATTRIBUTES/SURFACE.TXT. There are definitions of surface and their behaviour (like 'block user', 'block weapon', 'which footstep-sounds to play', etc.). Take one that matches your needs.
Pro's about it: You can define a single face of a brush using that textures, the other can stay 'solid'. A model binded brush is completely set to be invisible/solid/whatever. And you have to use less objects in your map. So you have two ways to do it, the choice is yours.

P.S.: The 'ID' i was talking about is, in fact, a masked value. If you plan to define your own surfaces, keep in mind: a) you create a mod and b) you cannot just increase the id of the last. If your not into programming, recommendation is: use what you have and don't touch the SURFACE.TXT.

no im not into programing...yet... another thing is that i need a file upload site that i can view and change the files i upload, after i upload them. free file hosting is not doing it.
