[RELEASE]MP-Incursion

After a couple of days testing and playing, DeeVee has created his FIRST Tribes Vengeance map.

http://www.syndrome.tv/Maps/pic/incursion/small.jpg

The map is called Incursion, it is a medium sized map, with a huge under ground base, like minotaur.
In the middle of the underground base, you have got a big sphere, where youc an fly around, ski and even bring your pod. Within this sphere you have got another sphere which functions as a mini-base. The mini sphere is very important in this map, it holds the ONLY repair pack in the game, and also has a control point which you can turn in to a spawn point.

The map is still in it's beta stage due to TribesED not being completly finished, the map overview might look a bit garbled as well.
If you have any questions or comments, please go to the forums at http://www.syndrome.tv

You can download the map here (http://www.syndrome.tv/incursion.php)

Unzip this file in your T:V folder, the *.mopp file in the \Contents\HavokData folder, and the *.tvm and *.pkg files in the \Contens\Maps folder, that's all you have to do!

Currently we have this map in the rotation of the Turret Syndrome server, if you have not downloaded this map, it will automaticly start to download, it will not say it is downloading, and not show what the name of the map is. The reason for this is that if you use the inbuild download method, the max. speed is roughly 10kbps, this is built into the game and can not be changed. We have set it up so that the game client is being redirected to a webserver and it will auto download the map there, this is much faster (200kbps) and will all happen in the background. The only draw back of doing it this way is that you just get the loading screen for about 30 seconds. A map is 6.5MB roughly, so should be done in couple of seconds for most of us :)

But if you just download it from the link i gave you above, it'll just connect and you should have a nice picture. :)

Yay! Nice looking map. Inspired by SP?

Word.

Looks like Doom in a few pics :P

yeah

and blame rowlow for the quality of the screenshots :)

interesting...

though.. the "beta due to editor not being finished" comment means your topic should say BETA somewhere in it, if that is the case, as well

and high fov isn't the best thing for screenshots :)


edit: you say redirect is working... mind sharing/posting somewhere on what you did to get it to work, because it is "broke" in terms of what it does and what it should do, but know of nobody who had gotten it to work properly up to this point

i edited topic.. and high fov rocks :P

this map looks pretty cool. reminds me of the t2 maps with the large underground bases. im downloading it now :)

for redirection i tried putting the files in a folder and have a subdomain point to it like : http://maps.test.com, but it wasnt working so i just put all in the root directory and tell the server to use http://www.test.com as url to download the maps

Interesting... there is still issues with it encoding the slashes and dashes for url part, but if that works then should mean there is an easier way

Thanks for spitting out a new map. I think this one gets away from the fast action spirit of tribes though. I won't be playing this one.

It might make a great arena map.

rowlow didnt mentioned it but the map works in Arena

It says that in the Chat dialogue!!

:) He subliminally mentioned it... ;)

God, that POV is making me sick...

Very cool map. It makes other packs and weapons (besides energy and spinfuser) more usefull. Should make for very interesting gameplay. I put it on Bomber Boys. I ussually run each of the new maps almost continuosly to give people a chance to jump in and check them out.

Very nice map. I downloaded it and joined bomber boys to check it out, one thing good to see is that We're both having the command map issue (thank god it's just not me :D ) but other than that very nice job, hopefully the download rate can be fixed because at this point it's enough to turn most players away if they dont have the map.

heres the link to my thread if anyone want to take a look too :D

one quick thing, you may want to raise the cieling on the skybox outer brush because unless it's intended you can grapple along the ceiling of the outer sky.

(actually this goes for all the walls I think)

very very nice design though.
