yup its a ts map on moving cars just like in the matricks!!

enjoy~~:)








still alot of things i wanna fix, like getting more varioation in the cars, the buildings etc

Oooh, nice concept. I like how you just stuck a fog on either end of thr road. :smile: If I had The Specialists I'd definately give it a go.

Looking ... good.

I've never seen a one way high way in my life, except on bridge systems.

How did you get the level to scroll like that? I can't seem to do it...

Use a func_conveyor with a texture that has "scroll" in it's name. :smile:

Or use func_trains that teleport back to the start and repeat their movement, if you want moving architecture rather than just textures. It still has to be kept quite simplistic though, as you can't have any of the scenery use other entities since it all has to be a func_train already.

As for the map, looks novel, but I can't imagine it being very good in terms of playability. Certainly a cool showpiece map though :smile:

I was waiting for a map like this for TS. Looks like it'll be fun

Good work.

That's awesome. :smile: Very nice twist on the traditional "moving train" type level. :smile:

Now, I admit, I'm saying this from screens alone, but here's an idea if it's not too late (and not in already) - what if you also made one or two of the cars func_trains as well and gave them a nice and easy drifting pattern? a little left and right, maybe forward and back a little. Placed well, that could add some crazy gameplay behavior. :smile: But it might also suck. :razz: So yeah... Whatever you feel like doing. :smile:

Curses, looks like you beat me to it, and just when I was working on the custom textures :smile: . Oh well.

Looking very nice indeed, the fog is a nice way of blocking off the ends of the road. With a bit of work and use of moving vehicles it could be an awesome map. And even if it ain't your standard TS style of play, who could be disappointed at the chance to live out that scene in the movie. Nice work.

i tried doing that kungfusquirrel but unfortunately online it has a choppy movement. Especially when there is lag.

But to reduce server lag to a minimum this map has no moving brushes. All is done with animated models and a func_conveyer for the road.

and about the playability, dont worry too much about that. I have tested about every step i made with my friends, and it really ended up as a real fun map. I added ladders on certain places so its not that hard to get on the trucks, and theres a sufficient ammount of superjump upgrades

Love the look of it, really seems fun to play. I can't think of
anything to add that would be feasible to add given the way you have it
set up.

What happens when you hit the road?

Very nice. The read more link doesn't work though.

This map is indeed awesome but its hard as hell to get used to. Some might give up.. but I found to it be quite fun to try and try again to get that huge jump to another car... while shooting someone. haha. good fun.

Ah, yes, that silly 'netcode' thing. :smile: Well, looks like it should be plenty fun even without a little randomized movement :smile:

damn cool idea, wish i had the specialists :sad:

Then download it ...

/me says hi to peri :smile:

Extremely challenging but fun gameplay! Sextastic models and ambience!

In ts can you map far distances with out R_speeds bleeding out your forehead? because of fog or was that an effect you made

I've just had a play of your map, and overall its vey good, but there are a few small things that need changing:



Blue bits showing, I'm sure that can be fixed quickly.



Again, Windmills showing blue bits.



The conectivity overall is ok, but needs improving. You could put some trigger_gravity's up here so that the player can reach the other vehicles easier. Also when the player jumps form vehicle to vehicle, their momentum stays the same. It would be nice to see some func_push's in between the vehicles, as this would also improve connectivity (the player could make enourmous jumps like neo betweeen the first and last cars with ease then, drastically impoving connectivity.

Anywhoo, overall an excellent map and a great contributation to the specialists (I don't know how to, but perhaps you could get this map included in the next release, as it complimentents the other matrix style maps perfectly.)

Matt :smile:

I'm sure the blue bits are because those are models, and you haven't got the right DLL's to support masked models. As they didn't show up in other screenshots I think its got to be a problem at your end. If you download DoD (or get the updated DLLs from somewhere) then the problem should be solved.

Hmmm, I did wonder about that, but couldn't think of anything wrong with my copy of hl. I'll have a look round those DLLs. Anyway, the rest of the comments I think are accurate.

I couldn't find those dll's for you. They're called hw.dll and sw.dll.

I shall endevor to find them now i know their names. Where should I put them once I have them?

Just copy over the ones you already have in your halflife folder. :smile:

thanks, time to google.

He used some tricks like fading the texture, sprites etc.. to give the fog feeling. /me petz teh peris~~~~~~~~~~~D:

Bloody nice map - the illusion is practically perfect.

BEST MAP I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR TS... the cars look cool but u cant shoot the tyres out

Seems like an awesome map.
