Discussion about map creation, old and new maps.

New maps or modified ones

Postby CBCOOLEST on Sat Jan 19, 2008 8:10 am

Hey guys I was thinking these other days about something relateds to maps so I said I should post it in here maybe you got something to say about it
What would you rather have and why
1.Normal NF Multiplayer maps that will be modified by adding new weapons into then and new items and stuff
2.New maps with normal weapons and the whole stuff we know about NF till now

I don't really play new maps but I have seen many SS's from matches and so on and I can't say they are bad but I think that modofied multiplayer maps with new guns and objects would be cooler...If that could be made

in order to actauly change the "objective" of a nf map, we need the nf source code.. which EA wont release.. so we cant really make "new" objectives.

Ulti or i dunno who is working on a new .mdl program, so we might jsut get new weapons soon? although i doubt that they would work cuz we still need the sourcecode for that..

i prefer new, home made maps :) mainly because im part of the process, seeinh the map grow into the map its in the end.. and because they're new -> so you havent "trained" them already so you know where the secrets and ways to go in the map..

i prefer completely new maps, we know everything that we can change in maps, for example my usable wall-mounted guns :grin: use those in such a way that no more than 1 person can use one at once (which could crash serv) then they could be entered in NFBL :wink:

A source code is a programming term which refers to the code of the entire game that is editable by humans (in a few words).

I know the secret ronin spot in Island_DM, but what secrets could there be? Can't we encrypt the files?

LOL, not those kind of secrets ;p the source code just lets you edit certain features of the game. but because EA wont give us the code, its very hard or impossible to edit things.

the secret ronin spot in ctf_island is inside the .bsp map file in the maps folder in the assets.007 file, the source code will allow us to change all aspects of the game itself, eg. how map files are read, how model files are read, we could add a spectate team, and adapt everything in the game except that which there are files for (maps, models, sprites, scripts, textures etc...)

lol we'll need more than that to buy more than half of EAs shares... but if we wait long enough we probably could get them cheaper :grin:
