Luckily, tgk is the only guy that knows how to do that.

Nop, I know how to do it rofl (also rabbit too) I used this to get "only survivor" I droped 5 zombies on that thing rofl, too bad there was a camper zombie at the end of the map =/ if not i could won :D

[Klofkac]

To everyone, to avoid the bug like the lift in TGK map (which can do alot more players than just TGK) is adding tagwait after the floor raise/lower/whatever...

Edit: Found yet another spot where one can get stuck in ZE17.

Learn to map properly, Blood.

These things happens to everyone.. Nothing to do with mapping skills. There's even a stuck-spot in ze30.

[ibm5155]

Rofl, I got stucked there oneday, I think I've missed to talk with blood :s.
And ye, tagwait fix that bug (and on ze30 case, it can break the game xD)

Why didn't you report the stuck spot before?
And I wouldn't say that if it was the only spot. It was actually the third spot I found. (First two were already reported and fixed)

[Mr.Man]

Well, if buried has any spots where you can get stuck, be sure to tell. Or just any spot that is hard to escape (there are quite some narrow spots).

Also, Screenay:

New screenshot about my map. I have finally chosed a number for it: ZM17 - "Aurora Emitter" (Hope it´s aviable ). Progress: 55% (more than a half :D!)

OMG, a switch!!


Layout, almost 3500 sectors

[Klofkac]

Soul, looks like is alot of unneccesary sectors you can join for making map smaller and less laggy. Otherwise, your map looks very nice, better than some other in testpack.

Also, mspark, learn to speak! We cannot understand your weird question.

You are an awful example of what other players think about most ZH players. Without people like you ZH would not have such bad reputation.
No offense.

Lel, lets see if with those new screenies is still the same :P. Progress: 70%

Afraid from the dark?


Armory entrance, protected by a forcefield


Layout (Reaching the 4000 sectors )

Now, in order to deactivate the forcefild that protects the armory you must destroy 4 energy cores that will be hidden in the whole map (NOT ONLY IN THE BASE!). With alll of them out of game the base will be without energy so... ligths will be off >:D (no ghouls or monsters, just darkness and some scary noises).

Image of the energy core:

Make them spawn at random locations, will make it more entertaining to search for them :3

[Mr.Man]

not going to be suprised if your map becomes 10 mb .-.

[ibm5155]

I really don´t care about the size since I have a "good" internet.
but if the size went bigger then 10mb is better you have something good :p

[Klofkac]

Most of the testpack PK3 sizes are custom sprites, music and sounds. At least hexen format maps do not have more than 1 MB. UDMF... that is worse...

Well, UDMF have your advantages and disadvantages :).
At least it´s easy to compress, ex:4mb map uncompressed -> 600kb compressed

[Lollipop]

How do you compress a map? Do you mean simply just throwing it into a pk3? Or is there a neat trick?

[Mr.Man]

I think you just get winrar (its free), right click on your wad file and press compress (it should have that small winrar logo next to it). Ibm's map went to 8mb when its 10mb i think :p. Thats why the testpack and such is pk3, its compressed. So if you want to check whats inside it, you need to unpack it.

I also have a video of my map. Its a bit laggy atm, but i'll remove that. Its mostly the trees at spawn.

EDIT: spawn has been redone and retextured. I removed most of the trees and i made the spawn alot closer to the slopes that you decent from. The zombies now spawn into mud, slowing them down, instead of the trees. The map is also decreased in size by 1.4 mb. It is now 5 mb, alot less that i expected to have by now.
