Unique Round-type Maps - Arborinus - 03-20-2018 I'm getting back into mapping (hopefully I'll be done with Alcatraz in a unit of time) and thought I would open up a subject for discussion: I was playing a round where everyone spawned as Ronin with samurai gear and the admins giving a prize to the last person to survive on the shuttle. Playing on the default station map caused problems - people would run and grab resources such as tasers or space pods and even the obsidian crown to get an unfair advantage. So what if there was a special type of map for admin fun rounds only? Hopefully this would be possible with the map rotation system, but admin initiated instead of a player vote. Maybe there could be a special game mode associated with a map that players can vote for? Having a very basic "sandbox" type map would allow for more stuff to be filled in by admins. These maps could be community created but would need to have the basics for spawning people and an escape shuttle area. Ideas: Combat zones, Construction (think like Flatgrass from Garry's mod). Probably a big plus to getting them added would be having a theme and having it be fun without much work on an admin's side of things. I have not talked to any admins/coders about this, but I figured I would open this to discussion. As an example for a Combat map I created this map - "The Dojo", with free for all player combat with admin-spawned weapons in mind. This hopefully serves as an example for what I mean by this sort of map, and could be inspiration for your own maps. Features:
EDIT: Made some sprites for the map and made areas look a little better, the northern area fits better in my opinion now. To get the new version to work, get the new sprites here and follow these instructions:
Version 1, older but meant to fit with the base game: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2i9k29ys2zrmma/thedojo.dmm?dl=0 Newest version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/24of62ol3u4s9zb/thedojo.dmm?dl=0 RE: Unique Round-type Maps - Mr. Lu - 03-20-2018 I love the idea, could allow for some intresting stuff ss13 hunger games comes to my mind. Nice goblin statues. RE: Unique Round-type Maps - NateTheSquid - 03-21-2018 love it RE: Unique Round-type Maps - Arborinus - 03-22-2018 I updated the Dojo map with new sprites and a new northern area, however I am leaving right now for Spring break to places with no internet, so I can't do a whole github thing, hopefully the instructions help. |
