[GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode (PLAYTESTERS NEEDED)

[Atticus]

Alright.

Can anyone make a skybox for the new court I'm making? Because when I do it I fuck it all up.

[TheDoc]

Finally done with Brightman's stage.

(click to show/hide)

It may be a bit wide. It's a pretty simple stage, but there's a walkway overhead that 100 Wattons and Dompans traverse over. If you shoot the 100 Watton...


BOOM! It's pitch black. The only thing you can see is other players, and the Dompan overhead. Shoot it to get the lights back.


Get that Dompan!

Here it is.

Oh, and coolguy, what stage?

Suggestions? Comments?

[Atticus]

Kickass! Well done.

I want it for Shade Man. But before that, when I load the wad, it tells me "THINGS could not be found in shadedodge.wad". And the maps still don't show up when I compile. I went to the builder and changed everything but it still doesn't work.

[TheDoc]

Well....and I'm no expert here...did you check to see if there's even a "THINGS" lump in the wad?

For the skybox, you could easily copy and paste the skybox from the deathmatch stage into yours.

[Knux]

That Bright Man court has a nice idea, but I say it could use more work on the texture alignment. There's also no point in making everything dark since you can't fall off and there is no cover anyway.

[TheDoc]

I see what you mean about the texture alignment, but I'll probably keep the idea of the lights going off since that's the stage's unique part of it. Do you suggest blocks to jump on or maybe a big step next to the divider or what? I'm thinking maybe of a low wall near the divider. I think cover would be great idea, though.

[Atticus]

Axe used a revive!

Where's that weapon Michael?

Edit: Damn it, can I get anyone to make a skybox for me, cuz I'm trying to and failing badly.

[Knux]

To make a skybox:

- Make sure that the sector ceilings/floors where you want the skybox's content showing up have the F_SKY1 texture.
- Make a sector outside of the map with the stuff you want showing were the F_SKY1 texture or a line horizon (Action 9) was placed.
- In this sector, place a Skybox Viewpoint thing located in Cameras and Interpolation. You might want to raise it's Z Height and/or change it's direction to adjust how everything in the skybox will look in the map.
- Go test your map to make sure that everything looks right.

If you still don't get it, ask again or open a map with a skybox on DB2.

[Atticus]

I've done all of those and only part works. I got the top and bottoms of the map to be sky, but the walls don't seem to change. They stay as the F sky texture.

set all walls you want to show the sky box to action 9 - Line Horizon. It basically makes the wall invisible and the ceiling and floor seem to go off into the horizon.

The only problem is that it's not symmetric. That means that one of the teams will have an advantage, if ever so slight. Unless it is and I'm not seeing it entirely.

Also maybe add like a castle to one side, nothing big or fancy, just a castle wall to make the map a bit more interesting looking.

Part 2

The ditches are slightly higher so they're easier to hit people in.

New area. Looking for a better texture to apply to the walls.

Those textures you are using as the pit walls are made for the outside walls.
