I am making an almost "blank" map where the players literally place and add there own scenery vehicles and more, no experience required. I will have to add in the more advanced things as that part can only be done in the actual creation (navs spawns and some more stuff) however for the most part the players can decide what vehicles they want in and whatever else i can add in.

I will consider any scenery and vehicle and other requests, yes i can have more than 6 different vehicle types to choose and you can use all of them in a map.


This map will take some time however with the right people in a server it would be a great experience, and if you don't know how to make full maps, with this map even an 8 year old can make one, the possibilities are endless.

Side note- yes i will limit the number of items you can place of one given item to minimize the possible lag.

Perhaps you might look into forge world, my ambitious friend, before you try this?

Just don't. People have tried forge; it has never come out as you say it will. Unless you are a master of programming, an expert at OS and an afficionado with way too much time on your hands... no.

Sounds a lot like the Build Your Own Mod (BYOM) map that came out for Halo Trial back in the day.

Not sure if i should have this be a 2 part map, 1 part for king slayer and oddball where you can create or mod it as some might say and another part for race and ctf that is complete, since for race and ctf this would be a an inconvenience.


Also the reason why people might not have done something like already this is because on maps that have items like this people spawn stuff like crazy and causes the game to lag out, or you have a big pile of vehicles in a spot on the map. Regardless no one has done this yet and it will be interesting to see how far it goes.

Well, if you decide to go OS style, Kirby's already managed working forge on a small scale. You may be able to replicate the system on a much larger scale if Kirby can help you.

Otherwise, the issue with people spawning stuff like crazy can be fixed by new versions of SAPP which ensure stability with various methods, or better, controlled administration environments can be formed by carefully planned rules.

Have not even tried to build a map with os yet, have it installed and all however haven't tried much.

If i get off work at a normal time tomorrow i should be able to start with least 1 thing.


Also working on 2 other maps and soon a 3rd.

It will come out of weapons, haven't found much else that will do it. So its literally pickup point and here is your item, simple yet effective.

Was that Phenomena's map?

Got all my scenery and vehicles picked out and made them into the spawners (weapons) still have to work on a lot tho.




Also if anyone can convert a model to a usable vehicle model for me that would great, its already pre-built and i think warthog collision module should work. please xfire me or email me.
