[Kildare]

Hey people! I'm making a new mecha-themed FPS map! Any feedback or suggestions are welcomed!

- Weapons/Combat system based on a combination of my Harrier Command/Zombie Shooter map projects.
- Up to 9 mech abilities for the Pilot players and 11 choosable weapons for the gunner players.


Game Controls:
Mouse-click - Movement(pilot)/Shoot(gunner)
Directional Keys - Camera control
F1 - Basic controls(Pilot/Gunner)
F2 - Upgrades(Gunners only)

Features/Items yet to be added:

- Proper Quest logs and crediting
- Proper outlook to interface and text descriptions.
- Mech renaming
- Additional in-game commands
- Map Preview and Loading Screen.

Features currently still under consideration:
- Multiple Mech choices for players
- Mech Items

In-game Test Commands:
-restart - allows player 1 to restart the game. For testing purposes only.

Outsourced Resources:
- Jump system by Paladon
- Hellfire Dreadnought model by Pyramidhe@d
- Face to the Enemy 2 soundtrack from Red Alert 1

Miscellaneous Information:
- This map is actually part of a two-part project where if this map is successful, a second co-op, mission-based map project will be started.

what are all those dalaran towers?

 

[Kildare]

Hey i cant open your map.

looks good from the pictures well i am not a good map maker ^^

 

[Kildare]

It's map protected...duh. xD

You'll have to play it to try it. Sorry.

I always wanted to make mech arena. But nobody else wanted -.-' .I think it would be better to use arrow movement ?

 

[Kildare]

No. Arrow movement, "efficient" as it is, poses a HELL LOT of problems, especially if we're using it for ground movement. It's much better to use mouse movement. I've tried it already.

EDIT: Map version update. Some bugs were fixed.

TcX had great movement system . But oh well. I will check this game soon... when i get my wc3 cd's.

 

[Kildare]

TcX? Never seen it. The best one i've seen here still does not solve the fundamental problems that i see in directional key movement systems.

 

[Ranger21]

If you never seen TCX then you never seen real MODDING of WC3
TCX Site
Here you can DL DM version, XMAS, 1.0,2.0

TCX AOS

AOS based on that engine.

Dota can go to the hell.

On site you can get program for AWSD control and it works in multiplayer game.

-keys 1 (Enable key control)
-camz set camera Z axis (i prefer 3500)
-bx (Enable low-graphic mode for bad computers or just who love minimalistic style)

 

[Kildare]

Errm does TcX require you to change or install a mod to your WCIII? Coz it seems i'm unable to run the TcX map in normal Warcraft? Or do i have to update to 1.24?

EDIT: Also, it seems that if i want to use the functions the "mod" provides, i will have to raise the map size of the map to above 3mb. And that i DO NOT want. -_-'
