What happened to this map?

I remember a year or two ago before my empires break, there was this map that was fairly popular on servers. It was like escort, except NF started with a vehicle factory on the high ground, and BE had all the points and had to defend against the NF onslaught. Usually, the game started with NF tanks shooting down at the point, some BE engies would spam build a level 3 turret looking over the 1st point, and you couldn't get to the NF VF unless you glitched yourself up with a turret. Does anyone remember this map, the name of it, and why it isn't played at all anymore?

 

is it this map?

pickajoe never finished it and it was originally made for 1.7.. He's been MIA for awhile now.

 

all maps made before 2.2 are incompatible with the current version

 

Also, what happened to this map called emp_plateau

 

a noob failed to finish it!

 

And Shandy contemplated putting the emp_sonecha_a1 of plateau out there so that people will play it... SONECHA. 2012 is too far away!

Aegy, you might be talking about emp_nfescort2 by Mayama. He never recompiled it for Orange Box, and to this day we have Brenodi operatives tracking him down to force his hand to recompile it or kill him if he resists.

Here are just two screens of it:

Here is its release thread:

It was far from perfect, but it was pretty fun imho.

 

I tried to get him to convert it to a snoy night sceen with a 70 ft fading fog for the Orenge box release... His initial enthusiasm at the Idea quikly faded

 

I hated nfescort.

Mostly because NF has failtanks.

 

Sonecha's map is almost finished, he had added a ton of stuff to it like tunnels and shit, was looking great then he had to go and die on us, RIP Sonecha!

 

harddrive crashed, all files gone

 

I still have nfescort and goldenriver mayama

 

Shandy, that's the one!

 

someone should just decompile them and fix everything fixable, then create more for more enjoyment. *cough* vmex *cough*

 

vmex destroys brushwork, which nfescort is comprised mostly of, so that is not really an option.

I have the BSP of the OB version, but I don't seem to have the VMF anymore.

I'll see if I can make a minimap and get it to mayama so he can release it.

 

I've not ever had any issues with brushwork after a decompile with vmex. I think nfescort2 would be fine. Mayama is just grasping at straws for excuses not to recompile it for OB.

 

Never had a problem with decompiling either.

 

This is not a good reason , someone must have it on his harddrive , and I remenber asking you to convert your map to new engine , and you were like I can't be bothered to re-do the minimap or something like that.
