KF-ChaoticPark

[Gormag]

I tried to make Gas Station from KF1 and it kind of mutated into a park. lol. I'm still working out the kinks. Considering this was my first try on the KF2 editor, I think I did pretty good. Please let me know if there is anything I might have missed. Thanks!

Lighting looks like it still needs work. It looks artificial try to increase the number of light actors or bump the overall ambient light of the level.

You have too few light actors that are bright with a large radius.

 

[j0s3ph]

this is a realyl cool map it reminds me of that gas station map with the car that instakilled from kf1, just want to point out that this happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmqM0v3vBO0

because of that choke point this map is too easy. otherwise, ill be making a gameplay video of this one as it matures, keep up the good work

It was hell trying to get the light to be that correct. lol. But I'll see if there is something I can do about it.

I thought I had fixed that. I guess not. It's probably the pathnodes... grrr... Time to mess with them again. YAY!

Thanks you two for pointing these things out!!!

 

[Oddjob82]

Well without opening the map it looks like the issue is just related to the light actor radius being too large or too bright.

If you look at the sidewalks and surfaces in your screenshots you can see how they are too artificially bright.

It might be worth it to add one sunlight actor to the level with a brightness setting of 5 or so coming in from a slight angle to help light the level overall in addition to your static lighting.

I think when it comes down to it I would spend a little time watching a few UDk lighting tutorials just to get it down and help improve your ability to make a map more atmospheric

Yeah, I know I have issues with lighting. I can never get it quite how I want it. I'll try what you said and go from there. Might have to go look at some tuts before all is said and done. lol

Your walkway to get to the third floor, the one above the top of the gas station needs serious work. It is hard for players and ZEDs to move along it.

The weapon/ammo spawn in the fenced area(old basketball court) is suicide to collect.

Great first released version. Looking forward to future updates.

That's kind of funny. I just got through fixing that. lol. Also I have done a few other tweaks to it to ensure that the zeds are getting to the players correctly. I'm actually a little impressed you found out how to get there. A few people couldn't figure it out. lol. There's another hidden "door" somewhere else too. I'll have a new version released soon. So watch out for it! Thanks for letting me know though.

P.S. the ammo/weapon in the courtyard is supposed to be that way. Makes people want to gamble. lol.

 

[Gormag]

V2 is here baby!!!

V2 is here baby!!!

V2 is up!!!

 

[MX3]

Sorry but V2 doesnt work 4 me , i got heavy performance issues its unplayable

 

[CoryStarkiller]

The ammo in the closet by the traider in the Gas Station is a gamble because of how many ammo crates end up cyclying in there as you collect them from the rest of the map. It ends up being very tempting to try and collect beyond the halfway mark of the later waves, because you can collect up to 5 ammo crates at once.

The courtyard one needs to have at least another ammo crate to be a good risk/reward.

Something to think about. Off to test V2.

Just tested V2, no problems with performance on my junker of a laptop.

Prepare to be more impressed.

To everyone else: These do not spoil finding the area.

As for thoughts on V2, the doors on the inside of the Gas Station's main floor are still too close together. You open/close the wrong door.

The ramps on the fire trucks still require you to jump to go along it.

I forgot to check, but I hope you make the Car Wash's interior more of a room that you can walk through both directions.. Rather than just a closet.

The doors are something that I felt was something for V3 because I wanted to get the more glitchy stuff out of the way. The ramps I was fine with zeds/players having to jump because it still worked and the zeds didn't fall off anymore. But I'll try to have a go at it again. And I'll see what I can do about the "car wash". Thanks for the input though!

And good job finding the other hidden door! Impressed, I am. lol

 

[Beardy55]

Played yesterday,my team is liking it so far,keep up the great work

 

[Gormag]

V3!!!

V3!!!

V3 is up. Added V3A for fun. Enjoy!!! Please let me know if there is anything that I have missed. At this point I would hope not. lol

 

[Gormag]

V3A Trouble...

V3A Trouble...

Sorry for the trouble. But apparently the extra teleport in V3A only worked once. Why, I don't know. lol. But I have fixed it and put the working V3A in place of the old one. Sorry for the mix up and for those that had already downloaded it. Please replace the original V3A that was downloaded with the correct one.

 

[Gormag]

???

???

Does anyone see anything else I need to do to the map? I mean it could be the littlest thing that I missed. If not, I might make it a final release. The only thing that is holding me back from doing so is that I want to make the moving car that instakills. I just don't know how to do that. lol

 

[j0s3ph]

ive played chaoticpark 3a several times and have found no issues at all, ive grown very fond of this map, im going to record a gameplay video soon.
