Zombie HORDE - The mappack project! (11 / r27) 14/12/2015

[Mr.Man]

I am offering some support btw- maybe with cutting down some music file sizes, optimizing and the like- can get some looping tracks properly looping too if that helps cut down file sizes!

I got IBM for that, but thanks for the help. I expect others to need help anyway. (30mb wav music, gg)

Look if the teleporter isn't Deactivate, or if it spawns at all skills.

For music, compressing to the least quality OGG... is stupid and sounds horrible. Why nobody tries to lower sample rate to 22050 without further compression? It saves a lot of filesize too (halving samplerate should theoretically halve the filesize), and it sounds better.

[Mr.Man]

Did the mankini billbord work out? xD

Oh, and the tag for z-tele needs to be 501. Xsnake mistaken in his tut i guess. I had the same with ZM12.

[Stiff]

music quality bad? ze14/19/25 music is converted to the same quality and I never heard someone complaining about that.

Mrman read your pm properly

[Mr.Man]

Music is fine, just loud as fuck D: !
And yes, i read my pm's properly.

EDIT: ninja'ing Xsnake v v v

Right. Tag has to be 501. I'll fix my first post.

I suppose you mean bonuses only the map creator will be able to find.

As for the map itself, I find the atmosphere pretty poor. I'm almost tempted to say it has no atmosphere at all, unlike the escape version. Some dynamic lights / light variations would help make the map more alive, I think. And I have to agree with Klofkac regarding the music. Although my ears could tolerate ZE19 and ZE25's musics, I definitely dislike this track. It's just my opinion, though. You can keep it as it is.

XSnake, I wan't to know which areas need more decorations. I'm only aware of one
And i still don't understand your first point.

The others are fixed now. New file size = 11 MB

The first point is that your wad contains decorate actors that have the same name than those in the core wad (i.e zh-beta27.wad). As a result, your actors would override those from the core. I guess (and hope) you did that by mistake. For instance, the "PLAYER" lump inside your wad has nothing to do here. Before going further, I suggest you clean that stuff. Remove everything that has to be removed and we'll see.

[Stiff]

the problem is when I'm going to add dynamic lights: lag
But I can fix that with a "Dynamic light remove code" wich is also included in ZE14.
The music... well that its loud is becouse of my ogg converter, mp3 file is ways more sillent. I'm scared I cannot fix that.

I've missed some actors by mistake, yes :)
And yea, I'll remove the player lump :D!

Did a quick update to my map: www.sickedwick.net/uploader/files/ZE18-_Lyra_-V1.1.wad

• The songs are now in OGG format, and are significantly smaller in size.
• BFG is now set up for ZH (Thanks to the wad Bazzoka gave me)
• A couple small changes in detail

I'm still waiting for a review though so I can make all the serious changes that need to be made. :S

Also, how would I be able to change the color of the BFG ball?

[Mr.Man]

By using TINT in slade i guess.

[Fuzzball]

A random point- the castlevania map- can there PLEASE be something done about that black water patch near the escape route? It's impossible to see where you're going and even then trying to navigate using the automap is still just as hard..

[Mr.Man]

B-But then you change something in the map! The map has NEVER gotten any updates D: !
But yeah, i agree. But after going thru it once, you know where to go right? You can automap too.

[Rabbit lord]

^Actually it was updated, once. There was a bug that allowed players to spectate and cancel the resist since the scripts didn't have "setactivator(-1)". It was fixed while after it's initial release though.

On another note, I finished with my updates and am sending them off.

[manuelspark]

What`s slots for ZE are available?

[Rabbit lord]

Check my sig, or second post, for the available slots.
