Detailed description

I didn't expect the first one to be included in the game but i was excited when i found out. Since then i have played it online extensively and realized that it had many flaws. So, i come here today with NeonFrenzy! The 1 on 1 instagib sequel with better gameplay (hopefully) than the original. Tell me what you think...

EDIT: This is the final version of this map! If the ZIP doesnt show up then visit my website (http://www.freewebs.com/fergusonproductions) and download the individual files. For a screenshot visit halleck.tumblr.com

EDIT 2: The files didn't upload... See above post.

ADMIN: fixed

EDIT: I deleted the "skycubes" and did some minor lighting changes and fixed some weird textures... I also made the skybox more mild for anyone who gets motion sickness. If you already have the map and aren't satisfied with the skybox, you can change it yourself. Just open the cfg with a text editor and change the value from -5 to whatever you want.

EDIT: THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY ABSOLUTE LAST VERSION OF THIS MAP! All i did in this update was make the mapsize smaller.

EDIT: Fixed mapmsg

The node isn't working correctly so for the time being you can download the maps at http://www.freewebs.com/fergusonproductions. If you want a screenshot visit http://halleck.tumblr.com/
UPDATES: I decreased the teleports from 4 to 2. I fixed the jumppads to provide better flow and prevent people from getting stuck. I did some minor lighting changes. I also made the 2 sides of the map more recognizable and unique to make it easier on players.

THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION OF THE MAP!

It's a really good map.
The lightning is different from other maps, i like that.
I'm still a bit confused by the teleeporters(i don't know where they end while playing :P)

I gave you 4/5 stars, because the jumppads are a bit too far from the wall. When you run along a wall then you walk on a jumppad.
The map is reall good, and gameplay on it is also very good :)

Halleck | 2007-10-30 20:29

I made the jumppads like that so when you jumped up to the next floor you wouldn't hit the wall and loose your momentum. Before i edited the jumppads like that we were having real trouble getting up to the next floor without getting stuck =/

Jumppads being further away is good :]

rocknrol | 2007-10-31 17:14

Hehe, this map looks good !

After you changed the jumppads and the teleports, i can say, its playability really has improved. I like the texture/lightcolour set you've used, makes your map look original and not just a repeat/"copy" of other, existing maps (your own maps excluded, of course) ;)

There are some things i recognized when i played this map at the first time:

You started this map from a /newmap 12 (i guess it is 12, not sure). This is way too much for this small map (pure waste of space). Try to copy the whole content into a standard /newmap 10, also there then is no need to use this "invisible" texture anymore, just delete all cubes you don't need, it will make your map run even faster and shrinks the filesize too (lol, in this mapsize, it takes ages when you fall off the map until you reach the "end").

The skybox REALLY is rotating way too fast, aargh. Try to use a very low value (1-5 maybe), whoever wants to have it faster, can easily do that on "his" own version.

Well, this is a really nice sequel to "neonpanic", and i hope you will make it being a trilogy one day :)

4/5, good work !

"The skybox REALLY is rotating way too fast, aargh. Try to use a very low value (1-5 maybe)"
?
The skybox is rotating at -5

Hehe sry, i made a mistake. I meant up to 1 or 2 (while 2 is already kinda confusing). In some maps, the skyboxes even rotate with a value below 1 (0.x).

Sry again ;)

Quin | 2007-11-01 01:32

Yes, it is a floating point value, and it isn't really suggested to set this higher than 1 really.

SheeEttin | 2007-11-01 02:07

Unless you want people to get motion sickness...
But that'd kind of ruin your keyboard, y'know?

Halleck | 2007-11-01 13:07

Spinning skybox = FIXT
I changed the value from -5 to -1... I kinda like the fast spinning :(
I'm keeping it at 50 on my version :)

I deleted the skycubes. I have no idea what was going through my minds when i thought to myself "Deleting the cubes wouldn't work! I must retexture them and add noclip!"

I wont decrease the mapsize though because that means that i will have to relight the whole thing. Lighting the whole thing is a bit harder than it is in other maps, as you can imagine =/

Thanks for the tips =)

You don't need to relight the whole thing. Just select the whole thing with one large cube, hit the enter on the number pad (or "/entselect insel"), and paste it into a new map, keeping the same grid power. (Run around to make sure it's the right size.)

Halleck | 2007-11-02 11:31

My map is situated in such a way that it cant be selected with 1 cube.
I tried selecting it in an 8X2 grid and the copy and pasting works fine but the when i select all ents using the command it only pastes 1 =/
Im not sure if im just being stupid or what.

EDIT: FIXT! It just took a bit of fiddling around with to make it work =)

Please fix the zip file. In the new one are some Mac files.

EDIT: It would be nice if you could also change the /mapmsg.
No it says: Untiled Map by Unknown

Halleck | 2007-11-02 21:22

Ill go over the zip file again but i know i set the map message... It says NeonFrenzy_by_.:HALL3CK:. on my computer.

You can use spaces in your mapmsg by enclosing it in quotation marks, i.e. '/mapmsg "NeonFrenzy by .:HALL3CK:."'

Halleck | 2007-11-03 13:42

My computer is being taken away for the weekend so i wont be able to update anymore. I probably wont update when i get back either. I think i have fixed most of the major problems and the map is ready for its final release.

Thank you all for the suggestions. Also a big thanks to the woopers for helping me playtest this thing! It was fun =)

Peace out.
