Great fixes TB guys, I just couln’t resolve 2 of these i knew about
that flag getting stuck in the ground - so it sthe collision setting!!!
and every attempt I had of using a cubemap for the sea just crashed the editor :-(
I did do a pass on reducing instrauctions on materials, but ran out of time - so thanks for the effort to who ever had to go through all of those and complete that!!!
It is very trcky…and despite days of trying i never got this to work well.
Finally i resorted to a trick when the bot reached a point replaced it with skeletal mesh of the same and used matinee to play anims on that…. which is not in itself very easy. If you want to know how to do that let me know … i would have to dig it out of.the archive (origionally the trebuchets in irilla were loaded by teams of bots)
Look at the kismet in my grail ffa old style duel map…. or the bit kismet in irilla… bith of the have bit feint commands
U can make bots better… try the ones on grail castle old duel map :)
Maybe my last chance to do fixes for a while so any feedback for testing irilla most welcome.
Already got the missing towwet :) ooops
See how it plays.with what the sound cues that i added… does that work ??? If not shall explore further…
Several update over the last few days….
More collision optimisation (another half a day on this, should be getting good fps improvements)
Dungeon remade for better game play and less cluttered environment
SPectator stands added to final malric platform, together with additional attackers roof access, for better tactical environment.
Market stall changes - you now only have to destroy 9 of the 11 stalls (previous change reduced 13 stalls to 11)
added tourch sounds
minor cosmetic adjustments all overload
collision and path smoothing
fixed block door on final cathedral level
collision optimisation
final agatha spawn grass area refined
Optimisation - area mesh controls improved
new upload going up now…
Some more remodelling and glitch fixes to the final 2 objectives. Alternative flag capture root as new access to flag… Balcony in hall is now a minstrel gallery, wider and easier to fight on. Door at end of hall is a lot wider, with easier access to the roof.
plus these…
DONE - treb rock explosions not happening = test
DONE : Voting Concept is great, execution needs work. Some more indication of who has voted, ways to confirm. : display of vote stats plus bots now vote - cos it was annoying me
DONE - Siege Tower run is lengthy. : about 1000 units knocked of run distance and forward spawn at fishing hut activates sooner. but guys, the run length was about standard for official maps - are you SURE you want it shorter!??!?!
DONE : Unclear when Siege Tower was being contested. : to test - sound cue when tower stops now, contested sound added.
DONE : elwebbaro: "marketplace needs less burnables to complete, like 70% of all stalls or something
and any more insights on the following comments from the competition feedback ?
TB Question : “Could do with forwards spawn intervals”. : Not sure what this means, maybe remedied by lengthy run fix
TB Question : “Unclear where to stand when pushing” : Seriously guys, which pushable does make it clear, how is what we have done here not the same as every other pushable in the game, am i missing something??? More detail please?
Another little update uploaded… added another minor side path to malric platform to open up any agathiam defensive position a bit… also given masons an overshoot positiom on that area… This should help reduce the “all defend malric” strategy… though when i played this hasnt been that effective … amyway whole effect should be last objective is less defensible
Change notes for the recent upload
DONE - increase agatha min spawn times…
DONE - siege tower needs the forward spawn earlier - Now 5 seconds of travel earlier.
DONE -The final objective is very defensible, they(The defenders) nearly lasted the whole 25 minutes Less defensible.
DONE -There is one walkway you can defend that gives a view of all the attacker options. re- routed
DONE -Dock Spawn Invisible Wall. Need something more convincing to block people from dropping off here - DONE
DONE -Need more warning on forced forward spawns. - DONE - If I get what this meant!!!
DONE -Siege Tower run is lengthy. - DONE - switched to fishing hut spawn sooner now
DONE - -The final objective time was way too long. The first objectives took a moderate amount of time to complete each of them, we were still left with ~25 minutes.
Made some initial stages a bit harder… Whole was 35 mins so you must have motored those 1st ones, reduced to 34 mins and rebalanced stage bonuses
