Tank Battle V3.5 - Download it now :)
 

Yes folks, a whole new version :-)

I've got get in/out in/out ... working 100% now :)

Also i've altered the objectives, you can now win by destroying OR capturing the 3 enemy tanks.

To capture a tank, you need to get in it and return it to the area where your own tanks started out.

Keep your eyes out for the download url, to be posted a bit l8r.

(i'm just sorting out 2 player jeeps and halftracks). (1 player drives, other shoots).

Ok think i've sorted it.

Can't test it mp at the mo, as my other computer has gone pear-shaped :(

So download the map from:
http://www.duncanweir.co.uk/temp/user%2 ... 20v3-5.pk3
and let me know if it works/crashes etc

I'll be running a server over the weekend at various times, just look out for:
=4th= Tank Battle V3.5

C u online.

All feedback welcome, either here or pm me.

I am looking for someone to send me a prefab !

yes your prefab will become famous ... lol

i need a flag prefab, complete with pole, suitable for attaching to a tank/jeep etc.

Need one for axis and other for allied.

So when a vehicle is occupied, the nice flag is attached, and all players can see whos controlling it ... very useful when the enemy has stolen your tank !

Very cool map

well done.

Tho is that good idea letting ppl see who is the tank???

Personally i would like to blow up peeps incognito be a cool feature not knowing who is the tank until it fires.(unless its pointed at your head hehe )

kdja

Well the flags will be optional, just depends on the parms that call the vehicleprep thread.

So come on peeps, someone out there must have a cool flag prefab ?

What about colouring the tank with different camo?

Not use Ravirs and get Wolf Man to make it Allies/ Axis

Ravirs are available on his Flare website http://www.clan-flare.org/


Still want to sneak attack someone in there own tank tho :(

kdja

Yes well i've asked before if someone wants to reskin ghe kingtank.tik file
but no one was interested.

I did a quick reskin, by sticking the allied avatar on the front and back, but it needs doing properly ...

so if anyone wants to do it, that would be great :)

Any preference to colour?

'ang on... there's only the bottom half of the tank in the pk3.

no preference.

And the complete tank is there.

IT's just that radiant does not correctly process the tik file, and thus you just get the base of the tank.

Just add the kincannon.tik file as a seperate model and you'll then see the complete tank.

Think that the cannon and tank have seperate shaders (from memory).

Have fun.

I posted a thread over at TMT to let everyone know.. since kdja didn't bother to tell us.. sniff..

I noticed that when you were in the halftrack or the truck, the views got messed up a bit. Is this fixed??

nice work scorpio. the only thing that bothers me is the speed of the jeep. it feels like your going thru a big puddle of mayo.. =) Good job !!

No proble, so how much faster do you want it ?

25%

50%

etc, just let me know.

how about 35 % =)

damn scorpio long time no see eh!? i made a really nice parachute prefab awhile back and i think i sent you an email about it. i pretty much gave up on mapping and have been devoting my time to smoting small rodents in the highlands. anyway, if you want that prefab just give me a jingle on msn and i'll send it over to ya. i'll be checking out the tank battle in the meantime.

ok a few things wrong:

-been said before but there is a shell that follows in front of the turret floating in mid-air.

-when exiting a tank, sometimes it places you UNDER the tank. the kill command in console does not work when under the tank.

-also when exiting the tank your gun goes buh bye.

that's all i got right now. maybe others can add to the list.

i haven't played it with anyone else yet so i don't know about anything wrong with interaction between players yet.

Using the map on a mac
 

Hi, i got an apple mac, and i wanna know how to get the map to work, cos it doesn't.

[quote:15b53]Hi, i got an apple mac, and i wanna know how to get the map to work, cos it doesn't[/quote:15b53]

you need the MIN file.


kdja

Ok i'll update the pk3 with the MIN file :-)

Desert Eagle, hi m8 :-)

i'll sort out the probs you found.

Also i've finished a new parachute script, and this one is very good.

You free fall, part way, then the shute opens (a script object) and it glues itself to the player, then when the player lands the shute dissapears.

Will be releasing the script soon ... just testing it MP 1st to iron out a few wrinkles !


As to the Tank bAttle in MP mode, it don't work :-(

1 player is fine, but anyone who tries to join is kicked off and crashes there end ! ... so something else for me to fix.


The Halftrack and Truck views have been fixed.

But the Halftrack still isn't brilliant, the truck is good, the jeep isn't so nice, coz you end up standing instead of sitting ... but i've got an idea how to sort that out.


Keep your comments flowing, this vehicle script is going to be very good when i've done, and of course you can all use it :) so get some ideas of new maps with vehicles in them.

bravo

tank battle on a mac
 

so, where can i get the MIN file from?[/quote]

I havent seen Balr14 ina few days so im not sure if you can use one thats generated on a client PC or whether you need the one from Scorpios PC.

Scorpio said he was updating it so hang tight im sure you will see it soon.

kdja

I'll be updating the pk3 tonight, and i'll post here as soon as its ready for download.

Prob around 10:30pm (GMT)

about cool maps with vehicle scripts in them. I was thinking about a map like rust in peace. That map would be cool with a vehicle. Something with an urban feel would be awsome with jeeps and such.

A bit l8r than i said, but i've just updated the pk3 so it includes the ".min" file.

Therefore mac users should be able to play the map :)

ONLY DOWNLOAD IT AGAIN IF YOUR USING A MAC.

haven't got it yet but i will. just wanted to say that secondary fire with coax MGs would be very useful on a tank.

Check out the other thread: "New TANK map - Under Development ", it shows lots of screenies of our upcoming map.

Here is a screen shot of the new tank skins, as given to me by Wolfman, the screenshot is not from Tank Battle, it's from the new map we are working on (Me, Wombat and SmallSumo).
