Posted by PuLSaR on 2017/01/04 16:58:48

Explore jam 2:

Not restricted to any texture theme: it may id medieval, runic, base or any custom texture set or mix of them.

Examples: 1 2

Deadline - January 7th

As an experiment you may add monsters to your map on skill 0.

Healing Pool In Id1:

Pool of water with a func_illusionary bottom with health packs hidden underneath.

Like The Healing Pool On E4M4?

Yep, so it is func_illusionary. It would be so nice to place multiple health pack on same spot, if I add target key to each pack and they one by one turns on unactive health packs that are on same spot?

I think delaying triggers would be easier*

try a trigger_hurt with a negative damage value and a trigger with a delay that will kill the trigger_hurt after a short amount of time.

The player makes the pain animation and sound.

Instead do this:

- make a func_wall
- give it a touch property with the value health_touch
- give it a healamount property with the value of health you want the player to heal
- give it a noise property with the value of the sound you want it to use (be sure the have an entity in the level that uses that sound for precaching)
- create a system of delays to trigger each func wall you set up in this manner.

.map and .bsp for inspection: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108695968/healpool_test.zip

I used a basic delay with killtargets and alternating func walls to achieve the delay.

and before you jump in the pool for testing reduce your health otherwise it will do nothing

console command "give health 20" will work just fine.

Thank you shamblernaut, healing pool will be really important and also the landmark.

I already made my jumping puzzles on retrojam 6, for this I will introduce other puzzles I have to cut off. But still I have to think what is possible in such a tight schedule. It will have the same outer world void theme and teleports, so I don't need to spend time on that part.

Played with some brushes and just going to have fun with it...nothing grandiose this time!

Also, anyone have any insight on post #17986 in the mapping thread, it is grinding my func_trai--er gears.

PuLSaR: Hmmm, lava and dark dungeons... Couldn't be more different from your Explore Jam 1 map. Cool! I mean, not in the sense "I didn't like your XJ1 map", more like "variety of environments is always nice".

NewHouse: Ah, I see you kept the egyptian look of RJ6. Nice! Perfect setting for a puzzle-based level. I'll be curious to see what you can do with a nomonsters map. BTW, hud? Do you mean hub?

#45 posted by PuLSaR on 2017/01/06 01:10:35

Newhouse: looks nice, I love the water texture

Mugwump: I always try to make something in a different style, especially for map jams. That's why I didn't use sock's texture set for retrojam 6. As for this setting, I always wanted to make a map in this style and it's copypaste friendly which is important when your are limited on time.

The only texture sets that I never get tired from are runic and knave.

Nice!

I'm making one part where player has to move really quickly and doing jumping and stuff. Is it fine to use skill levels to specify how fast everything happens? Hard is like the you barely make it, once you know what to do? I will make skill select room to my map and I will state it very clearly what every skill level actually means.

Topher: Looks very unqiue with all of the floating platforms!

Pulsar: Good stuff man, very HOT!

NewHouse: Looks otherwordly and I love it...nice water! I think that's a good way to introduce skill levels to the map...I think I will stick with no skill levels as I want to focus on gameplay first and foremost.
