Ive finished most of the scripted sequences in the dark hallway, hopefully it should add a little to the atmosphere of the map. Only problem is, I messed up all the ambient sound in the hallway and dont have time tonight to recompile it. So, Ill update the archive at a later time, but heres some screenshots.

Also, are there any suggestions as to changes to the map? If it outright stinks, please let me know. Dont want to put all this effort into the map if Im going in a completely wrong direction with it.

Great map so far... played the "early version" on my server... was very impressed!

New screens look good too!

Keep up the good work and you'll surely have a classic at hand.

Thanks! I was getting a little worried there from the silence. I was getting worried that I was completely missing the mark with this map.

Finally got the sounds and triggers all working, or so it seems. Now I can start moving on to other areas of the map architecture until its time to put the finishing touches on everything. So far, Im a little past the halfway point (not including the sewer).

D'oh! I ftp'ed it to the images directory. The one time I don't check it, I mess it up...

Fixed now, sorry about that.

Small update, Ive finally mapped out the basic part of the map that will be used for the Fred mission. Im planning on adding some misc. stuff for the sake of keeping it from being an empty room, but the player shouldnt be able to jump up an anything (well, anything that will prevent the zombies from attacking).

Not sure if I should make it fairly bright, or keep it really dark, but there wont be any blinking, or flicking lights in the Fred mission area. After this, there should be one last stretch to map before the escape zone. Im hoping to make a room or hallway were the apache helicopter can flyby and take out zombies periodically as the player traverses through one last wave of zombies.

BSP only archive updated (5/1/04)

Looking good! Just start giving the map direction, instead of size.

actually i like how long the map is...it makes it more lengthy to play...not so much mad rushes of zombies but more atmosphere...each dark corridor could spawn a legion of zombie's it keeps me on my toes...i like it... if you could make it just a bit longer i would love this map period ...also i agree with whoever said it has a dawn of the dead feel cause it does...the fred engagement area reminds me the car parking lot mostly because of the shadows in the background...its going to be freaky to have a shit storm of zombies come out of that darkness...of course you should make a delay so we can hear em but not see em adds to the fear then all of a suddenly BANG there 50 zombies and the gunfire roars to life lol damn that sounds so cool...anyways great map i enjoy it alot so far cant wait for the finished product

Well, thats along the lines of what Im wanting to do. Instead of just having a ton of zombies wondering about, Im trying to set up queues (like in the hallway in the updated BSP) where one minute the room is clear, bright and probably fairly boring. But once the player has entered the room (and after a small delay) zombies just start coming out of the woodwork. Though, I dont think Im going to go so far as to trap a group of people in one of these rooms (even though the room would open back up after a pre-defined amount of time, this might block off people who lagged behind or get killed early on).

Im thinking about setting up a fairly generous number of zombie spawn zones as well as having some marines set there to back you up (until their spawn limits are met).

It also seems that setting out a good number of well-placed info_nodes really helps out A LOT. Marines actually move around now, and it may just be wishful thinking, but I think Ive actually gotten zombies to follow you from room to room after losing sight of you.

It may be a little while before my next update, getting the missions to work properly is a seemingly complicated task.

well first spread out the player spawn points make at least 16 to 20 so you dont spawn into another person, botom of the elevator seems to be nothing but a continous shooting gallery, other than that, not to bad

Greetings!

Is there a final release planned? I would like to add it to the user campaign.

Yes, it's just taking me a while to get used to setting up the missions in the map. The fred/objective and carnage ones are easy enough, but it took me a little while to get the custom missions right (I had open up some of the official maps to see what targets what).

BTW, when it's done, do you want the source files? I can send .qrk and .map files, but not sure about the .rmf format. Also, if anyone wants, they're free to use the .tga files I've created.

frick this map is going to rock...as for the zombie following you...i never had them follow me very far...but i do notice they are a little smarter which makes it more fun...you should make the last objective a self destruct\get to the evac before your turned into nuclear vapor...and have the players overrun with zombies trying to get to the exit point in a mad dash...just a thought though...
