How to make a (Shutdown2) Laser map?

Doughnut-4|4- · 02-14-2008, 07:54 PM

If I get back to mapping I hear there's a shortage of Attack and Defend maps, and I'd love to contribute one. I'm not going start converting mine though until someone posts a tutorial on Avanti or Cornfield with LUA code and explanations. Thanks for any Help!

cfive · 10-29-2008, 08:44 PM

If possible, I'd like to see a step-by-step tutorial for making a bare-bones CTF map, preferrably one fully explaining one-team doors... Please?

KubeDawg · 10-29-2008, 08:48 PM

That's a good idea. Someone who can map do it please.

Is this not what you're looking for?

cfive · 10-29-2008, 08:59 PM

I'm afraid not. It's a slight bit too confusing and not in depth enough. And there aren't any pretty pictures to eat.

Gator- · 10-29-2008, 11:22 PM

Which specifics do you want to know about?

Ihmhi · 10-30-2008, 11:08 AM

This is why I've one of the things I've been pushing for is example maps like in the Source SDK.

Yeah, we have ff_dev_ maps, like ff_dev_ctf, but most of them are oriented more towards reference tools for experienced mappers. I was thinking more along the lines of pure, simple example maps - dev textures and fully commented Lua code.

Any interest in this idea?

Fully commented lua code in this case would be:

Code:

-- Gametype: Capture the Flag
IncludeScript("base_ctf")

The rest is just naming things correctly.

Cfive am!

And in response to gator, i'd like to see a tutorial featuring step-by-step instructions (and pretty pictures) for making a bare-bones map CTF featuring:

* Working teamspawns
* Working one team doors
* Working Flags and caps

and the bare-basics of making a runnable map.... pwease?

KubeDawg · 10-30-2008, 09:08 PM

A video tutorial would be nice.

cfive · 10-30-2008, 09:39 PM

I concur.

And when people want to make something other than a base_ style of play?

I know how to make a three-team CTF game, but could a newbie do it by solely referring to the Lua? I don't think so...
