Edit: Just played it. It's a fun map like stadium sort of, but bigger.

[Kyanos]

Ahhh. Much better.

MP is working nice now, smooth. I got a game in with a friend from Australia last night while I'm freezing here in Canada.

I know I'm a noob on deathmatch but don't forget your friend from Mexico

[Kyanos]

LOL, we could always play though, because we're closer. Micky wasn't getting so good results before this release candidate update.

Also, I made a quick, fun DM map yesterday. It's up on steam. It's called The Courtyard.

Hey, can you please try to play another Canada-Australia game using latest RC2 version and pm me feedback compare to RC1. Thanks. Sorry for offtopic.

I made another quick fun DM map.

Shading! hehe

[Micky C]

Yeah now that Norvak's mentioned it, the map could use some rudimentary shading. A lot of the walls seem to be the same shade which makes it seem very flat, and some very basic shadows would help. You'd be amazed how far 5 minutes of shading would go towards making the map look much more natural.

[Kyanos]

Sorry, that one pic was pre 5 mins of shading, lol. It looks like this finished, really dark in mapster, but lighter on Megaton.


With that said, it was a two day job on a DM map, so...

Added Jan 30th...

Courtyard, my first DM map, is now front page.

@termit

1) (minor) When browsing through the User Maps menu, press up at the topmost map and the selection goes an invisible list entry (probably the "USER MAPS" text). You have to press up another time to get to the bottommost map, same goes for scrolling down from the bottommost map.

2) (major) When I joined a lobby with a map I didn't already have, the game got stuck in the "Downloading map..." state, even though the map is only 50 KiB (800 KiB, read my last comment) my download speed is 10Mbit (1.5MiB).

2b) I went ahead and deleted the contents of the "workshop" directory and tried subscribing manually to the map, I found out that Steam doesn't automatically create the "maps" subdir (which I didn't know was the case).

2c) I tried rejoining the lobby WHILE subscribed to the map but without having the map file (as I deleted the "maps" directory), the game froze for the host upon launch and I got a black screen, pressing ESC during this screen would show up the main menu (but not allow me to use the menu at all), overlayed to the Lobby menu under it (can post a screen if necessary).


Also, why does the game force you to download the cover image for the usermap you're downloading. For example I had a 50 KiB map here but the download almost ended up being 1 MiB because of the cover image. What relevance does it have to the multiplayer experience?

The image comes with the zip, so it's nothing to do about it.

So apparently this is a new map. I had fun even though architecture, texturing and shading was lacking.

and another one, DM only, it's like all the hundreds myhouse.map from 1996-1997 except with more modern detailing, kinda funny to be honest worth a look in mapster :

non-steam download links please

[Micky C]

The first one has an interesting style, and is done by one of the guys on this forum. I hope he checks out my steam guide on making maps if he chooses to make more single player maps; he's got potential. http://steamcommunit...223542709#38546

One of Geoffrey's DM maps from the old failed Command & Conquer TC, 3 levelled map, good for about 4 players.

I'll be uploading others once Megaton supports custom art tiles.

The Commanders House DM

Map I did way back in 2009 used to play it with William Gee and the Oostrum brothers.

Spoiler

A map of the famous Commanders house.
Have fun running around in Death Match blowing up The Commanders house.

Should suit up to 6 players quite fine.

You can also just play it in Single Player and have fun nosing around.

* No sheep included

Keep posting more maps to workshop please. My favorites seem to come from members who are also members here. Must be experience, i know everyone likes a classic map but i want some new maps brand new ideas 2014 made DM or Single player don't care Let's Rock! To me there is nothing like a fresh idea for a classic game. I like to see those type of maps that you just wouldn't see in the original single player. Fresh! i want 2014 maps.

edit:Oh i also saw your map The Commanders house it was nice we had a few matches on it but i only think that the doors are a bit to big :S. They were looking like giant doors... fe fi fo fum where is beanstalk, no i'm just playing. But i think you should re size your doors unless you were aiming for Shaq doors on purpose. Anyway it's not big deal we had a fun match on it who pays attention to door size while killing and it was pretty good for a 4 way on it. Nice house.... if that is really it We really did like the aquariums with little sharks in them that was pretty bad ass

I expected more from you than trying to have a go at my mum.

Like 80% of the damn forum members here are fat.

I am the only exception.

In other news, Sex City got passed the 3k downloads on the counter on Steam. I'm still very amazed at this.
Now, in the sad news, in the meantime the episode on modb grew of less than 200 downloads. Which means that less than 1% of the people who played the map on Steam bothered to download the full episode and eduke32 and play it even though I advertised it in the description of the map with a link which has a very simple tutorial on how to play it.
I think this tells a LOT of the mindset of the new playerbase we got from Megaton : they just will NOT play outside of Megaton, or only very few of them.
It's very saddening to say that, and as much as I prefer eduke32 over Megaton (I don't see anybody who uses both linking the other more, except for online play) : if you want to get your singleplayer maps played, play them with Megaton compatibility in mind, not eduke32 only compatibility. TCs, Mods and episodes are a different story, they're all generally more played and downloaded than single SP maps anyway (Steam included) as proves any download counter you can find on any TC/mod/episode.

And no, my "downloads counter autism" still hasn't faded away since I asked DN-R to put one on their site 5 or 6 years ago.
