KF-IcebreakerV1

Hm.

I can't get the "sway" if the map is hosted on a dedicated server... I don't know why. I've tried both downloading the map through a redirect and installing it in the "maps" folder - both are missing "sway" if on dedicated server.

If I start the map locally on "Solo", it sways just fine.

Also, I wanted to report that it still says "V1" on the pictures while it's loading.

Any idea why it's not "swaying" on my dedicated server? :-(

It's the "-|TBG|-" server if you want to connect and look at it directly at the source... this one:

It does not get lost during redirect...

It's just disabled for clients.
Either the effect itself just doesn't work for clients or the trigger triggering it (if there is one) needs a so called NetworkTrigger between itself and its target so the trigger triggers the networktrigger and the networktrigger's event triggers the effect then.
I haven't looked at the map in UnrealEd so I can't tell.

Great map! I'm waiting for the final version.

I don't know about UE... but it would be awesome if this could be made to work in the next version (along with the bugfixes).

V4 FTW?

I gotta say, this is one hell of a map! One of the best custom maps for any game I've ever played.

The atmosphere is just amazing with the ship sway, sea waves, heavy rain, lightning and other effects. Although the waves could use a little toning down.
I really like the realistic ship layout and the great attention you've paid to textures, sounds and fine details.

It also plays well (tested for 1-7 players) and is very challenging with tight indoor spaces, plenty of specimen spawners around and no obvious camping spots nor safespots.

A couple of bugs/issues I've found:
#1 - A place in the map with very low framerate, especially when there are multiple actors onscreen. See attached screenshot.
#2 - Some hooks & hands hanging in midair, not attached to roof. See screenshot #2.
#3 - Sway effect doesn't work in online games, only solo.
#4 - Map is still named KF-IcebreakerV1.

Anyone played this on hard or suicidal. We're struggling with this one haha.

I play KF with a bunch of RL friends only.. we usually play on Hard and with 100% friendly fire. Some maps on Suicidal.

And I have to admit, this map gave us a real challenge. There's rarely room to use any explosives and you can't exactly go trigger-happy with other people near you in those tight corridors. And the zeds tend to come from all directions, especially if you're below deck. Getting to higher ground makes controlling their flow somewhat easier.


Also, two more graphical glitches with screenshots attached.

The later version of the map is more laggy. Most effects of dropping shadows (the shadow of the lattice of lamps) on character models (including weapons models) disappeared. but I so liked this effect

Jesus christ...
This is by far, the best map I have ever played on. Also the most scary by far.
Also the only map that I end up turning the music off on :V
The rain and the wind is so damn creepy, the music ruins the feeling on this one map.

Just my god... I'm simply blown away x.x

 

[DrNasty]

Fantastic map, but the ship sway makes me motion-sick, lol.

Thank god it's not enabled for dedicated servers.

 

[gusone]

Had a great game on it @ 70%FF Hard. Kill Ol' Pat at those settings and you can pretty much do anything.

 

[DamDam]

Thanks for your feedbacks and comments. That's always useful and great to have your support.

My pc is currently out of service, so I can't make a new version of the map for now. But it should be fix in the next few days.

I'm quite annoyed about the sway effect : the sway doesn't work in online games, and we don't know how to solve this problem ...

Thanks everybody.

 

[HeatSurge]

Um... maybe someone who knows a lot about unreal mapping can look into the sway problem?!

 

[yoyeai]

I quickly took a look on shake actor code, it seems actors make the differentiation on dedicated server and local game;

basically, actors which can work on dedicated servers should be determined :
if (Level.NetMode==NM_DedicatedServer)
(probably some little things to adjust it and make it works for everybody).

But, when I create my own unrealscript, it's not working using the path "mylevel" to save this.
The only way I see for now is to update directly some files from the game (so, not a good idea )
