Beetle's Maps Thread

[jbeetle]

I, for the life of me, cannot find a tutorial on how to make a dodgeball map, but I tried. I hear there is a config file that must go along with it, but maybe that is just for the mod, not for every map. Anyway, a few of you were joking about making a wacky races dodgeball map. Well, I didn't exactly do that, but I've been working on a little project.

TFDB BALLOON BATTLE B1
It is a balloon race dodgeball map. I will certainly have to adjust where the rockets spawn, but as of now I don't even know if I made the map right. So I guess I am asking if we can test it.

Thanks

PS. ( It is more like convoy, less like balloon race).

Add me on steam I'll tell you how to do it. I'm at work so can't remember the name of the entity.

I'm pretty sure it's just an info_target entity with the names rocket_spawn_red and rocket_spawn_blue.
Use the normal Arena setup. Make sure to put the entities about 20 units away from anything solid.

I have a vmf file with all the logic required. I'll send it to you and you can just copy and paste it.

[jbeetle]

OK. It said I could not add you as a friend when I tried. Also, I just copied the entity setup from a decompilied tfdb map. The only thing is that the rocket entities might be a little too close to solids.

[Failhorse]

Make sure the target entities are pointed in the right direction. There's a little line through them that shows which direction the rockets will go. Small rockets are fine if you're close. Nukes will just blow up when spawned.

And no stealing my secrets =o

edit: oh disregard. I can steal your secrets now. friend accepted.

zf_gullywash. do it.

tempting...but I don't make direct conversions like that. I build mine from scratch. so while maybe reminiscent of wacky races, it wouldn't be the same, sorry.

I can only upload maps to the server that look like or are the same format as wackyraces. Just ask failhorse.

Well it would be the same format, for sure. Staying on a vehicle while being chased by zombies sounds like a lot of fun to me.

[Failhorse]

I'm thinking me and beetle should have a wacky races challenge. Both make maps and have the fun peoples vote on which is best. or cohesive or whatever

[jbeetle]

I am down with that.

[Ninja]

And then we make a server that is 100% only wacky races for finger.

I added ph_cchotel_b3 to my map list. I just updated this map so that the terrarium "secret door" could not be kept shut, ruining the game. I also added some ammo, and readjust some props.

It's worth adding to the funserver
