It's been a Looonnnggg time. How have you been? Anyways, Sorry for lack of news, i've been distracted with a) finals (which are now over for me!) b) my own HL2 mod and c) Portal 2 mapping. My apologies. So, I've got good news: I've updated it with some new features and made it actually work with a full compile. Unfortunately, to do so, I had to eliminate the whole ending stretch, but that doesn;t matter because the other parts were so hard that no one got there anyways. So, Now that that's fixed this might actually go into the dev build. Still not totally done as it has't been playtested intensively but at least there's some progress.

I'm feeling like they actually use the dev build to playtest before it goes into "classic" overwatch. It's just waiting for AndY to get better.

Detailing is just about done with the exception of a few brushes that got missed by the art pass.

I will be anticipating this map for the dev version. Any chance it will get in there?

AndY and I have been discussing this. It's ready to be played, I just need to get around to packaging it with the minimap, etc.

The January update will merge the dev build into the public build, so I'm hoping that Copper's map will be ready enough for the public build. :)

I think Sam's map (Traverse) will be in there as well. Not sure yet about the others.

I can tell you which are good and which are not. Traverse is.

I'm assuming you mean Traverse is good. It is, but we've had to make a few changes to it as it was still incomplete/inconsistent with the existing maps (and Sam vanished at some point). It was just minor work, so that's fine.

Other maps would likely require much more work and, unfortunately, it's not something we have time for (we'll release them separately for anyone who wants them). That's why I'm glad Coppermantis is still around and working on SuperFortress; we'll definitely be helping him to get it perfectly ready to be included in the pub build, but at least he'll be doing the bulk of the work. :P

Yeah, It's done for the most part, but still needs some polish. Does anyone know how to get the flashing effect around the console hacking area? I'm guessing it's just a particle effect, but what's the name?

EDIT: I found some stuff in the game files called "Cap_zone_white" and stuff like that. Are these related?

EDIT 1.5: I just saw the post on how to replicate the consoles.

EDIT 2: And I'm just about certain it will be ready for the build in January since winter break is almost upon me, so I'll have a few weeks of free time to map.

That all depends on you and if you'll still be working on it or not (and how complete it is at this point).


Copper: Apologies for hijacking your thread. :P

I'll need to talk to you before Jan since we'd still need to test it and make a few tweaks before the deadline, so don't wait too long.

As of now I'm just getting the hack objective to a more professional method. The way I had it, the progress was determined by a bunch of func_movelinears, but the official way seems better, albeit a little more complicated.

This is hopefully my last question pertaining to this map: How does one make a generator destruction objective? Mine at the moment only take damage, they don't broadcast how much damage they've taken.

You would probably need a damage filter, math_counter, and a breakable surface with nodraw attached. You set up the health bar in coordination with the math_counter for how many times the func_breakable is damaged(by grenades, use a filter).

That seems otherwise good, except that you don't need the math_counter (and I'm not sure if it would even work with it), as you can simply make the func_breakable send its OnHealthChanged output into the objective (bar) entity. It sends the breakable's health value as a float between 0 and 1, which means the bar should have its minimum set to 0 and maximum set to 1.

Hmm, I didn't even know you could do that. Thanks for all your help at various times, guys, My map is a lot better because of all of it. :lol:

So to clarify, my I/O setup would look like this?

OnHealthChanged>Gen2_indicator>Setprogressratio

Yeah, tested it out and it seems that it can only display one at a time. I have two generators but the progress indicator only shows for one. Is this true or am I doing something wrong?

You can have multiple progress indicators visible at a time, just like there are in ow_citadel. You just need to turn them on when you want them to show. Make sure the names are right and that you're giving the inputs for the right names. I can't really guess what's wrong without any more specifics of the entity setup.
