Bomber Invasion - Survival Invasion Mappack v1.3

[DemiGod Fate]

Ah cool cool, what did you change in the fixed version of my wad? I wouldn't think you would need to change anything in that case? =S

[Ænima]

Depends what your fixes applied to.

[DemiGod Fate]

Haha no not that, I meant you changed the name of my file to bomber_invasionfix1.0, I was asking what you changed in it, so I know if there's something I should change, and the v1.1 just fixed a countkill bug problem. So it may have affected it.

[Ænima]

ohhhh i forgot about bomber_invasionfix1.0.pk3. that's a last minute fix that i had to make because the original was not hostable due to MAPINFO errors. something about fogdistance. Which is weird because it works fine ofline. o.o

[DemiGod Fate]

Ahhhh ok, cause I was trying to figure out what's different, I'm doing something about the fog with the maps anyway, the maps are being pretty much massively revamped since, they are old beta maps that we originally tested with.

@DemiGod Fate: Wow haven't seen you in years! I miss your awesome projects, this one looks really good, I'll give it a try soon.

[DemiGod Fate]

@Boko: Haha, it has indeed been a long time, actually to be accurate though 10 months =P Had some heavy studying among other things that just was like yep need to step back, and at the end of it, came back and was like fuck I miss skulltag, then realise it's now Zandronum, sooo just trying to finish off old projects left on my harddrive =D Amazed you remembered it's me =P

This project still needs alot of work especially on giving the maps more excitement + re-playability. Right now they look good, but that's about all they got going for them gameplay and whatnot is lacking, so I'm working on that for next release.

EDIT: Should really just change my name back to Maelstrom, for old times sake, haha.

Yeah there is and has been a test server up =P Finally got to do some testing myself today, got a list of changes and hotfixes to make, new hotfixed version will be up later =)

[BloodyAcid]

Lots of fun actually. I think the crazy bomber varients could spawn a bit more frequently though. You see like, 2 every wave.

edit: happy 100th post

[NachtIntellect]

I am going to test this out when I finally find my USB, this looks really good and challenging, I am going to see how long I survive without dying.

CHOOSE A SPAWN LOCATION



For those who don't know, I was 'Starscream' the original creator of the three maps seen in the beta. Fortunately, I have had a ton of practice since 2010, so I have decided to take up arms against my horrible mapping ways and update them to a much fresher form.

And yes, I am extremely lazy, so I will begin with BIMAP02 (Now renamed to BISU02, to show that it is for Survival instead of Co-op, but can be played both ways regardless). Pretty obvious why this one will be the easiest for me to make. :P

[DemiGod Fate]

@Ænima: Doing bug fixes and am wondering SST Changes the player class doesn't it, there's two things the players are supposed to start with that they aren't on your server, which is a backpack so you can hold more ammo, and they need damagefactor immune, 0.0, so the knockback bombers dont intstagib everyone around them hahaha =P

@BloodyAcid: Was awesome to play with you today, yeah when the maps get revamped which as you can see Pyro is working on, I'll change up some of the spawning rates =)

@WhiteAce: Sounds good =P Still got various bugs and problems but I'm ironing them out.

Sweet. I might start work on my map tomorrow. :]

Edit:
Server updated with v1.2. Will make a new BI-SST patch soon too.

[DemiGod Fate]

Sounds cool =P Just did some more testing in the server and found some lingering bugs, but they shouldn't affect anything massive for the meantime, I'll make a major fix at a later date with possibly a finished revamped map.

[Pyroscourge]

Some WIP stuff:





I pretty much have to work with everything which has snow on it still.

[NachtIntellect]

Alright so I got the chance to test it today (My usb got left over at a friends place when I wanted to show him a few mods) I can't really think of any good critism but I have to say this, the Heavy Metal map that was designed, the detail in it is absoulute brilliance, it's so beautiful.

[DemiGod Fate]

Wait till you see Pyro's revamped version of that map, it will look pretty amazing + it won't be ogl only which is its main problem =P

Made a quick hotfix with some small changes, download link to v1.3..... http://www.mediafire.com/?o49y1yvblpucp9u
