A small train-station map for the "Skulks With Shotguns" mod. I've been working on this the past couple of days just to take a break from greyboxing, and finally get to detail something. Plenty of vertical play here: there's a lot of room underneath the tracks.

Hoping to have something playable by Sunday afternoon for the SCC playtesting. http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/133756/thanks-all-for-making-2013-sunday-playtests-a-huge-success#latest

Haha, wonderful!

Aaand we're live! Pulled an all-nighter getting this thing ready for today!

Minimal occlusion geometry at the moment, so draw calls are a bit on the high-side... but it should still be playable... I think.

DarkSeraph

I'm tempted to convert ns2_th_pad to sws just by adding resource towers.

All credit goes to Kouji_San, who created the original map for modjam last year I believe.

Looks bloody awesome! but more pillars! its all about the wall jumping/ skulk movement.
@DarkSeraph i wouldn't bother converting anything yet. We're still prototyping both gameplay and game systems/logic. We'll definitely be including Standard DM but we aren't certain on the spawning system we'll be using or what the entity requirements are.

@Howser Ah, you got it working I take it. I'll throw in some more stuff to jump off of in the next release.

DaanVanYperen

Very pretty! We'll get the spawning sorted out so we can try this.

@DaanVanYperen @Howser

hehehe, so did you guys like my ready room?

BeigeAlert

Version 1.1.0 just released to the workshop! Only change is occlusion geo was added, but that is a doozey! Screenshot for your enjoyment.

Thanks!

Skulks with Shotguns is a mod that's being made by a few members from the SCC (Spark Crafter Collective). At the moment, it's basically just free for all death match, where instead of bite, skulks have shotguns. It's great for practicing skulk movement and shotgun aim.

Ah this looks really cool.

It is great fun

I'm gone for TWO WEEKS and you come up with such AWESOMENESS? I feel betrayed.

Haha well... I only made the map, not the mod.

Howser

We'll be announcing it properly when we have something decent to show. Not all the ideas are concrete yet and the mod is still lacking some functionality. Hopefully this Sundays test will give us some nice clips for a trailer.
To anyone else wanting to make a map I'd recommend they hold out until its officially released as we work out the kinks in the spawning system and finalize the game mechanics for the team based mode and work on giving the it a visual identity.

BeigeAlert

I can't seem to find this map on the workshop. I can find it just fine if I go through my content links, but if I try to find it like any other person would by searching, it doesn't show up. Yes, it's published public. Does anybody know what could be causing this?

Howser

shi**ty workshop! Try changing your download region and republish? that fixed the one time i had workshop issues... other than that it might just be a case of waiting!

Flaterectomy

As you know, @BeigeAlert, I had the same issue with ns2_sws_refinery, until it magically appeared at some point without me having to do anything. Hopefully it'll just take some time.

Download region? Who or what is a download region???

BeigeAlert

@Howser OOoooh I just checked, it's up on the workshop now! GOGOGOGOGOOGOGOGOGOGOGO add it to the server, quick!

Mind moving up the spawns off the floors a tidbit to see if that fixes the spawning issues? If that doesn't fix it I'll give the code another once-over.

Sure, but I think it's also pretty interesting that players only spawned from the "vanilla" spawns, and not the "shadow" spawns (or I might be mis-remembering that...)

BeigeAlert

Okay I added more spawn locations to the map. Hopefully this leads to more diversity with where the battles take place. It all kind of happens in the center now.

BeigeAlert

v1.2.1
-Replaced shadow_spawn entities with vanilla_spawn entities. Players should now be spawning in the southern part of the map, in addition to a few extra areas.
-Replaced tech_point entities with their corresponding static_prop models.
