I once managed to create an entity that was 2-3 times the max map size. It caused the game to crash when you walked onto its center, which was somehow on ground level.
Ha, me judge? My first map reboots the game every time you spawn. Thanks for the file. Maybe I can learn a few things.
Tried that with a couple of maps. As per the posted warnings, you get some strange results and broken maps. Good if you just want to get ideas how to do things. But better to have the working source like your's to play with.
Well its possibly due to missing things like textures, models, sounds. Generally if you want to be our new god... recompile the old maps and make them work with new empires.
Don't decompile to compile them again, then you'll probably get lots of weird errors, decompile to see how things work. Viroman, what old maps do you want back?
what empires maps don't I want back. Most of the old ones that don't work anymore were pretty cool. Newer maps are sometimes rather uninspiring. First off I want atoll(I forget if it stopped working or was removed). Then I want that one map with the raised hill in the middle and the maps basically a circle... so long ago. Then there is this map that is kinda dark and there are trenches all over the damn place and you can dig tunnels and have tanks too.(it was kinda buggy if I remember) also... where is that new map that someone is making that is a beach invasion??? Haven't heard anything about it in a while.
Map where you could dig tunnels? Sounds neat, haven't played that. Lots of func_breakables then or what? Also this is the map you're looking for. Beach Invasion.
I just read that thread. Too bad it's on hold, maybe indefinitely. Looks like it would be a great map with enough players. I had a smaller but similar idea in mind, maybe I'll start trying to work on that.
Just as a general comment..... We all have maps we like better than others. I like rainbow road.... once a day. Funny some of the biggest map critics keep calling for maps that are low on my list, but I keep playing. Maybe I need to complain more on their maps ... it must improve game play.
I finally found the issue with my map rebooting each time a player spawned. Turns out if you have your server setting set to a maximum of 1 player, the map will reload every time you try to spawn. I don't recall setting that, but maybe this will help some other poor noob spending 2 weeks thinking their map was broken. Maximum players > 1 !! And thanks again for the sample map LordDZ. After doing test compiles with a couple versions of your map and getting the same problem, it lead me to.... "it ain't the maps!" With that out of the way, my first basic map plays properly. Time to learn more about hammer and making a proper map.
