Abandoned Mine

[Mottyman]

A while ago, i started on a new micromap, called MicroMine, but as it grew, it became apparent that it was too big to be a micromap, so now it will released as a full map, Abandoned Mine.
Vehicles and all gametypes will be supported, and for once I am not going to flood you with 101 betas, unless you want to test it, in which case PM me.
Some of the alpha builds did include moving doors, taken out because the damn bots wouldn't use the path with them in the way, and there was moving carts, that you could stand on for quick transportation, but it caused the game to crash when vehicles were used.
If everything goes well it should be released by the end of this month.

If you have added botpaths for the map i'm personally gonna kiss your feet!
(Actually i'm not going to do that, but you will get a little goldstar in my book of mappers! )
Good work Motty! I'm really looking forward to playing it and if it's good, also hosting it.

I have to agree with Sniper! If you have done this and also removed things that might have crashed/conflicted with the game is shows that a real quality map is about to be realased. Good call that ppl that want to text your map have to PM you. I´m really looking forward to this dude!

hey motty ....can you make the doors open by proximity instead by device insert >
that may make it easy for the bot paths to work.
has to be a way to do it ....same insert as the laser from the trip mines infront of the door, but no laser ?
don't know ..just something to think about ...

 wow, lookin forward to gettin my grimy mappers paws on the final version motty, from what i've seen, it truly is a great map, living up to the gameplay styles of the originals like Warehouse and Waterfront with some great level design/architecture and fantastic use of textures. This guy REALLY has an eye for what makes a level great fun to play!

Glad to see that someone else is also gonna b releasing maps that are polished BEFORE release, should become a server fav motty!!!!

What do you mean Kalam?

 I know what you mean Kalam, you're thinking of triggers.  They are actually actor triggers that are invisible, they are used in the the original UT on which this game's engine is based, but they were never used in MoFo, but I have experimented with lightswitches etc in the past, so I'll try, and Xavier has used them before in some of his maps.
And of course, I'd never think of releasing a map without bot paths.....
And its nice to see so much support freely from so many people.  Oh and Sniper can I use the 'After the Rain' music that you made in it?

Go for it Motty !!!
Should be nice to see how "it sounds" in your map...

nice one motty, i just emailed you some feedback and extra bits n bobs of code for ur map. ok, i'll make sure i don't use After the Rain in Asylum then :-). i think Techno2 is suitable tho.....

if u go to ZoneInfo u can set the reverb value for sound, it'd b really good to make that cavern in the middle sound right! give it a try, or meail me if u've got a prob...

*Abit of topic*  
Liam, sorry about if you where planning to use that tune in your map.
I'll will make (when i have time) a new tune for you. If I remember correctly, you wanted a "ambient and kinda oriental sounding tune"... Plz PM me if it's so.
Some of the other tunes

(Better yet, if i have a "betaversion" of your map then i can easier make a tune for it. If you want to, you can upload it to my FTP-server in this folder
http://ftp://83.227.225.128/Incoming%20Files/ (It's a write only folder, so noone can DL from it.)

Sorry Motty for "breaking in" on your thread. :in:

No worries sniper.
I tried putting the moving doors in again, and *sigh* it crashed.  I'm pretty much onto the final version now apart from minor tweaks.

one question: is it for the "new" mofo or is that for the old mofo?

Sniper: what you did with the thread that all post come now for your?

 Its for the original MoFo Dead Kiss, nothing to do with MoFo2k4.
As a side note, there was some ingame minimaps I did, but they weren't very good, so Liam did some for me and they look really good as they show the lighting etc rather than just a wireframe minimap.  Thanks for those Liam.

thats sorta on topic offtopic thing, nice sniper..... No, no worries Sniper, i'll PM u. thanks for the FTP space, i'll try n get it up there, its very big tho (10-20mb) and isn't optimised yet.

any screenies able to help?
