Futuresport Passion | Submit project, successor editor wanted

[dc-redeclipse]

I have given up this project!

At this point I will stop continue my work on this map for many reasons.
But if someone will continue working on it feel free to do it!

Futuresport Passion is a re-light and ported version of the official team play map 'Futuresport' from Red Eclipse v1.6.
This map was original made by Derek 'JoJo' Stegall and was in Red Eclipse v1.6 official included in map rotation.

(race mode onslaught gauntlet - to finish you had to reach the green ball)

Steps I done for the remade (re-light version):

• fixed blocks
• adjust and scale many block structures for a better gaming experience
• made all way points new
• texture fixed and improved some places to look better and error correction
• reduce light elements and improved the old light settings
• I scale all the key elements up a bit to match the new game physics
• made new home bases because the old ones mismatch with the new re base model in bb in ctf
• add a descriptions and optimize the map size and terrain around
• add extra walls for covering
• add a trigger, start and finish with particles for race mode (works cool in team and with onslaught)
• hdrbright and sunlight improved

Ideal Gameplay:
team & ffa deathmatch / capture the flag / bomberball / duel / onslaught / defend and control / medieval
team & ffa race / gauntlet / lapped / onslaught / medieval
6-20 players or more

current version = r672

Please review it for any errors that this map can be soon back in the official game.

I facing with a really wired bug

if I running normal down the ramp I slowed don each time but there are no blocks on it that cause this!
This happens only by running down not up on any ramp like this!
But why? And why only in 2.0?
In 1.6 is all fine an no slowing down.

Changes to the player size has caused certain corner cases to appear where the hitbox ends up inside geometry too much when stepping up/down. This is because the physics allow a certain amount of overlap to enable the smooth transition up stairs, etc. I'm still yet to fully figure out where the problem is, but I am aware of it.

Here's a rough suggestion on how I would add cover to the map (red lines are occluders like walls, etc):

ok I will try to make it more like steps and hoping it helped if I using little alpha blocks.

Nice idea! Now I will build some walls to test it. :)

I got the a solution an maybe the reason for the problem.
The block size was on full length 1/8 with an very high climbing rate.
I reproduce that with an other ramp and also 1/8 blocks got the same effect.

You can fixed it with full blocks like this.

[dc-redeclipse]

Updated to r527

fix lights reduce blending
fix block size on stairs from 1/8 to full blocks
add walls for cover and extend the both middle buildings for bigger cove

[dc-redeclipse]

I found an error and don't know what it cause.
This little shadow on the edge near the next layer make no sense but its there since 2.0 but why?

This little shadow on the edge near the next layer make no sense but its there since 2.0 but why?

It's due to screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO). I don't know if it can be avoided somehow, but it will go away if you enter /ssao 0 in the console. This only applies to your own client though.

[SniperGoth]

Smoothen those edges, as AO appears more around angled surfaces/corners, and that should go away.

Yes thank you I fixed it with extra blocks to make it more flat and it worked well :)

[dc-redeclipse]

Updated to r581

fix environment lights and skybox
improve cover walls in the middle section
texture fix
add start and finish for a little race mode. used trigger particles for that, race mode on this map makes a lot of fun with team or ffa with gauntlet or and onslaught

[dc-redeclipse]

Updated to r595

improve hdrbright and sunlight and also fog (thx unixfreak for your help)
improve cover walls in the middle section
some texture fixes and improvements

[qreeves]

The walls added for cover probably need to be larger, but I think we also need to prevent people from standing on top of them somehow (death material spikes? I dunno). The main point is to reduce the amount of places in the map where there is a clear line of sight for the rifle.

I like to use death block with a trigger for a lightning strike, like this on all higher walls:

(One wall with it is including the last update [r631] for testing.)

What do you mean? good idea or bad solution?

[dc-redeclipse]

Updated to r631

improve walls and add some more
set death blocks and trigger with particles for testing on one middle wall
some texture fixes and improvements
add names for the id's

[dc-redeclipse]

Updated to r672

bigger walls ect...

At this point I will stop continue my work on this map for many reasons.
But if someone will continue working on it feel free to do it!
