[Request] Hunters maps

Hunters is nearing completion. It now includes individual scoring, yard sale markers, different flag mounts depending on how many flags a player has, better nexus camping logic, and most importantly NO MORE INSANE LAG when many flags are close to each other. (Apparently turning off bouncing fixed this - go figure)

I've also been able to address some gameplay concerns from the T2 hunters version such as flags dropping only when you've been hit by an enemy or you have been killed by an enemy. Now, if you are TKed or suicide, you will only drop a new flag if there is an enemy nearby. (This of course is up for critique, but it's the best I can come up with that is easy to implement) All in all it is about 99% done.

However, the game won't be any fun if it doesn't have any good maps! I've edited Emerald, Cavern, and Royalty to work with Hunters, but my mapping skill/creativity is nil, so I need some help from the community. It's very easy to make a Hunters map - all you have to do is include a nexus then tweak as you see fit.


I could also use a person or two to help me test the last few features that require more than one person to be in the server, so if you'd like to test it out in the next hour or so, pm me on irc (name's Hobbiticus).

I was thinking about adding this game type to the map I am currently working on.

I would post some picks but http://upload.serverseed.com/ and http://www.insanestyle.com/uploader/ dont seem to be working

it's an all indoors map that I'm primalily making for Arena.

where can i download the proper files? so i can test out the nexus so i can fin a nice place for it depending on size and such.

You can download the necessary files at http://hobbiticus.acm.jhu.edu/tv/hunters

.u goes in program/bin
.pkg goes in content/classes
.tvm.uz2 you will have to ucc decompress and put in content/maps


EDIT:
I should mention that on that version of Royalty, there are a bunch of flags at each base to help me debug, so don't put that on a server :)

open a command prompt & change to your program\bin dir. the command line is "ucc decompress mp-royalty-hunt.tvm.uz2" without the quotes...then move the maps to the map dir
