KF-LOTD-Downtown

[acidchalk]

Ok this map is more of an experiment in converting kf1 maps and learning the new udk more than an attempt at a current gen looking map. With that said i went ahead and used the tool that was posted by Broski270 and started to throw my time at it. This was a map i enjoyed playing in an old game called land of the dead which had been the first map i ported to kf1 as a means to learn that udk, so i figured why not just use that and see what i can do with that tool. After converting it and getting the textures to work it looked kinda bland so i started to litter paris props and lights all over the place. There are all sorts of lighting issues that i've yet to figure out and the textures don't seem to be getting covered in blood but that is an issue for another time.https://www.dropbox.com/s/p0ttd9u26rifk5o/kf-lotd-downtown.kfm?dl=0 It's a mix of old assets and new ones and i had fun playing on it again after all this time.


*update*
Here is the link to the current version. I've managed to get the blood splatters working on the first building. The one you start the game on. It's taken some doing as i had to convert the old bsp's into a static mesh and then do the uv maps for the splatters. The props have blood now too but they still need tweaking. I'll trudge along until i get all of the buildings bleeding =).

That was a fun map glad you make a convertion

The trees, especially on the roof, have hitboxes so big they can block shots and grenade throws in places they really shouldn't. I recommend setting them to no collision and adding blocking volumes for their trunks instead.

I see the map has been updated.

Please post a comment telling us of the new version and bump the topic, so people know.

And also please add the version to the map filename to prevent players from being unable to join servers with the new version because of a version mismatch.

Thank you.

Look ugly & boring. Pls, work.

Hmm, an account with only 4 posts, 3 of them criticizing others' mods/maps.

I can't tell if you're a troll or genuinely an unpleasant person.

Or maybe you're using a secondary account to hide who you really are?

(I know that admins/moderators can see IP addresses, but most likely he/she is using a proxy/VPN, so that can't help.)

acidchalk : Nice map, I like the verticality
But there is sooooo much bug exploit... I can show you all of them (and there is plenty).
Ask for a video or add me on Steam : Alex)(Andra

Zabavon : Work harder on your argumentation next time. Will be helpful.

Thanks for the comments. The funny thing about the trees is they have no collisions just a blocking volume for the trunk yet the leaves still block stuff which is weird. As for exploits if you could post me pictures or videos id appreciate it. Im trying to get the map to play right then im probably going to go through and replace old textures with new ones and convert all the bsps to meshes so the blood will work. Again this was an experiment so its not supposed to be gorgeous hehe. Ill add a version number tonight.

Ah this map takes me back a long time Pretty good stuff. only issue I see in my short time of playing is lack of blood and gore in some places. Nothing game breaking though.

 

[acidchalk]

New versions up with blood working on the first building you start the game on. I updated original post with the download link.

No glitch / jump abuse correction ? I said I can show you all of them... =/

I like this map but I'm a bit tired of the endless waves because a lot of people are abusing / glitching the map.

Oh sorry, I saw "The funny thing about the trees..." and I thought you were talking only to Lt.Hargrove, my bad.

I'll upload a video, with all the original map version bugs / glitches I've found. Maybe there is some you didn't expect.

- I failed a bit at 5:10, I did it at the end of the video

 

[acidchalk]

Thank you very much for that video, i'll get on it right away! It hadn't occured to me to go under those hehe.

Thanks for porting this map. It's a classic.

 

[Zabavon]

brutal sh it

 

[JackSheepson]

you should really add some invisible walls for the roofs of the buildings, a lot of players like to shotgun jump on the vending machines to reach the roof and never die. I will post in more detail in a few.
