ut4_temple2_alpha
wily duck, Wed Jun 01 2011, 12:48AMCurrently on the scrim server, available for download. UM3 helped test it tonight, looks like gameplay holds just fine! There's a few visual artifacts, but nothing distracting from core gameplay.
If you haven't played the map before, it's vast! You will find many routes up, down, around, and through, along with secret areas. The map is quite explorable.
Enjoy!

I remember in 3.7, Follow the leader was always played on this map; classic times.

Shame FTL is "missing" from 4.1(.1). Would LOVE to try some C&H on this one, maybe even Bomb :) Great map!!!

I'm sorry, but I thought it was due to the changes in character size that caused our FTL maps to fall by the wayside. Now I'm even more upset at FS. How do you go from 3.x to 4.x and drop such a major component of the game?
The map is great. It is dark, but that is the point. The shadows and lighting make sense to me, though it might hinder the game for many. The murky water is great. It looks grossly dirty to the point I want to avoid getting in.
How did UM3 play it when there are no green arrows?

Thanks DankRider. I'll have the glitches fixed in alpha2. Being on top of the cylinder path by the water is not a bug though - it's intended, although it may get clipped later. Fokker's spawn glitch is fixed. Some other artifact glitches got fixed.
Any comments you guys can add while the map is still fresh will help get the map to a beta state.

I had this happen a few times. When a blue guy would jump out of the water he would stay the murky red water color for a second or two. Not to major, just seemed a bit odd.

I found a glitch - i will try to get a screen shot later.
When walking through a particular doorway it will all of a sudden zoom in like as if im scoped but with lines across it. I then can see through the wall across from me (googles of course)

Ok this may not really be anything but here it is.
When creeping up the doorway the scoped affect will take place.
One time during game play I was able to see someone moving fast on the other side of the wall (since I had noob vision). Once he appeared I shot him (he was my own guy - lol oops)
I tried to re-create it a minute ago with someone standing there but it didnt work.

Notice how XP turns off his hacks when someone joins. (Look at timeleft and the white dots on his screen). jk!
Also, are the speakers still there and playing the same old school music?

I got some important feedback tonight. Our one game showed me how the spawn positions needed a complete overhaul. I've made the changes already - red spawn positions are greatly diversified, and blue got spread out. The red flag has been moved forward near the waterfall tunnel.
Dankrider brought a clipping issue to my attention regarding the ropes on the bridges where the rope would interfere with shooting if you stood right by the rope. That has been fixed.
I'm in the mood to get this map into beta, so any feedback is helpful.

Any mappers interested - I've created a versioning script to migrate a map to another new map. For instance, I just tell it take ut4_temple2_alpha2 and make it a ut4_temple2_alpha3 and it handles all associated files. Next time radiant is loaded, I open my new map and it works perfectly.
PM me if you're interested in this.

For those following this thread - I've added a new escape route from blue flag, utilizing the statue crate. You'll take a secret tunnel and slide into the main water area, accessible only from the top of the crate.
The hidden tomb room at the top far end of the map now becomes a vertical gameplay route. The only catch is you need at least one grenade to get in or out. I feel this improved route speeds up gameplay in the far reaches of the map that is not traversed much currently.
Tried my hand at some splashy waterfall effects but wasn't happy with the outcome yet. I should have alpha3 ready tonight for playing (not so much testing cause you need to play it to reveal what's bad/broken etc lol).

It can and I'm trying. I'd like suggestions on any improvements of any kind. Unfortunately I was pulled away for the first few minutes of the alpha3 release so I'm not sure what the first impressions were or what to focus on.

I absolutely LOVE Follow The Leader on this map now!!!
Saw something I thought was new tonight, but it was on the Blue side, and hard to get to as Red due to the number of Blue shooting me. Need to load it up locally and explore.. really like this one a lot!

I have a bridge to sell you.
The original temple had a bridge here. I liked this idea so I built one too. Whiners may not fully appreciate it because the base boards are quite "trippy", an intentional artifact.
No matter how you cut it, the new bridge looks damn good.
