Title: New D3 Anarchy Level: -Streetfighter-
Post by: (LL)Atan on March 22, 2010, 11:55:18 AM
Yes, after a long long time I did it again ;)
I made a brand new Anarchy level which I called Streetfighter. I hope this name isn't used before?
I tried to combine D2 and D3 style-elements inside this level.
As usual in my levels you can surprise your opponent by choosing different ways to attack. The level is not big so you may have a good instant action inside.
I inserted small tunnels, middle and bigger halls and some open places. So there should be places to fight for every type of player.
There are no custom objects or modded weapons inside, just some custom textures to give that level a special feeling, theme.
I inserted only that weapons/count from which I think they will fit into this level. 
Streetfighter is ready but it will take still a few days to release it to public.

Awesome!!!  :D

If it's ready by this Wednesday night, I'd like to put it up for the "Wednesday Night Fight Club" game.

Wow, looks really great. I always wanted a city themed anarchy map.

ok, my Streetfighter Level is out now.
I uploaded the level to Fischlein but it will take some time he will have it online for (auto)download.
I made this level for Anarchy only, but by request I inserted CTF, HOARD and Entropy too.
There are 10 player-starts but I would suggest 4-6 player.
Have some fun inside Streetfighter! Like or dislike it, just as you want..
More levels to come..

Cool!

Atan, do you wish to give them a link to it?

The Autodownload works as far as I can see.
So if anyone would like to dl not that way here is the link to Fischleins homepage.:
http://www.descent3fischlein.de/home.html
Look to the right side or use the -Levels- button on the left.

Do you mind if I uploaded here (PD.net)?

feel free!
Uhm, this 'easter' level still needs a server,  Do_Checkor seems to be off this weekend :(

I can host it all day, but can't at nights. I have not provided any DL links for my servers, but when I get unlazy, I'll read the instructions and get the tool.

Awesome looking level anyway!


EDIT: And could you do me a favor? Could you tell Checkor to update his Pyromania to the 1.5.1 version? He said that he would update it in a month  a year ago. Thanks! And thanks for the effort put into your levels! My favorite so far is Firing Range. Bots who are realistic, but not cheap like the BOZ.

As far as I can see Do_Checkor placed it on the server now. Thanks must go to him!

@NUMBERZero
When did you ask him yourself last time again?
Anyways, I can forward your request. Maybe he has the time to change that, or a reason why he dislike to do that. Let's see.

@#1 I forwarded your request.

now, did anyone here played Streetfighter in the meantime?
I would like to know *your* meanings about.

I played it once. It's quite fun.

I went in a couple of times but it was CTF and no other players joined.

I think the DRH will be hosting StreetFighter as this week's "Wednesday Night Fight Club" game - I'll post some thoughts after that.

Yes, we hosted this for our WNFC and had a lot of fun in it.  CTF was a blast.  Seems like it turned into a mass-driver fest for some reason but I like that.  :)

I think we had 10 players in there for an hour or so that I played.

Thx for your feedback, nice to see that this level could be fun to play.

Historical question for me since D1 level editing.
What weapons should I place inside my levels to make it playable and fun! for all? (all? what an impossible idea, I know :) )




 
Title: Re: New D3 Anarchy Level: -Streetfighter-
Post by: DwnUndr on April 28, 2010, 09:29:44 AM
These are weapons I would NOT use:

We had to disable microwave from the DRH.  With a small number of players it may be ok, but with 10-20 players it disconnects people left and right.
Rapid fire powerups, these are usually disabled as well since anti-cheat goes nuts with this on (over pps messages fill the screen).
Blacksharks.  Many players with newer rigs get disconnected immediately when one of these goes off.  No idea why but I know about 8 people now with this problem.

Streetfighter has a nice combination of tunnel ratting and open dogfighting.  Perhaps the tunnels are a bit small and confusing to get out of, but people learned the pattern.  I really wish we could solve the issue of large rooms vs low fps from the descent 3 engine!

My favorite weapon is the Earthshaker, and the Vauss

Least favorite, MD, Shark. I like the Shark in singleplayer. But it's just too much in multiplayer.

Ah, you missed a post.  That was in response to Atan asking what weapons he should place in his levels.  There are no problems with the Streetfighter level.
Title: Re: New D3 Anarchy Level: -Streetfighter-

Ah, ok, I see it now.

And I still haven't had problems like you describe on any levels at all. Strange.
