And this work only for aliens, or phalanx will be under this flag too?

Either both or none.
But for Phalanx that is not much of a problem, it only effects, who is standing on what side of the dropship.
For the aliens that results in being anywhere, if enough spawnpoints are available.

can you explain, what «randomspawn» means exactly?

randomspawn is activated on a map under worldspawn and has the effect of randomly assigning the actors to different starting positions. So you put in for example 10 starting positions for the aliens. If the map now starts with 4 aliens, then these 4 aliens will be randomly distributed between the 10 starting positions, resulting in different starting configurations every time you play the map.

Mapping / randomspawn in maps

« on: June 02, 2011, 11:27:14 am »

as randomspawn now seems to work without problem, I would like to integrate this in several maps.
I already tried it in fightercrash.map and the result in my opinion is very good.
I would like to tackle some other maps with this, e.g. +industrial, +oriental or +ufocrash.
Would that be ok, or is somebody currently doing major work on that?

just an information

I consider my part for +forest done
there are for sure some minor points still to do and of course if somebody points them out to me, I will try to fix them

I will leave the tile markers in for the moment (makes troubleshooting easier), but will remove them before we go for release of 2.4

hopefully it was an improvement

just a small warning when you move to firebird model
afterwards there are two brushes, one no draw and one actorclip, in the front of the troop compartment, which have to be shortened (!) so 10 soldiers can occupy the ship

There are two possible fixes: The one used in +forest

Just for information, the only thing I did was moving the firebird model a little bit until it lined up correctly.

Bugs prior to release 2.4 / Re: bug with grenades and water

« on: May 17, 2011, 09:13:43 pm »

"kleiner wald" is +forest "little forest"
The water has no bottom, so it behaves correctly in letting things fall through. I think I won't fix that, because I prefer grenades in water to be harmless
Just think of the grenades not waterproof :-)

just had a look at your map. looks nice, and the player will really have to hurry to save the civilians.
And I can already imagine the aliens dropping down grenades from above. 

Can you add some more furniture to the rooms? Maybe some drawers for storing clothes?

About dropships and crafts: I would actually recommend to not include any of them. Would the roof really support such aircraft and have a large enough space. I think it more likely that they simply dropped by rope from the hovering aircraft.

About RMA: That has it's own pitfalls, I'm not sure how the RMA assembly in z direction is progressing. So at the moment it might be simpler to have a separate map for each landed ufo.

thanks H-Hour

just for the moment, the little boxes you mentioned are binary code tile markers, to help identify the tile. Most of the tiles (except the river tiles) have them in the upper right hand corner. So if you could just tell me the marker (white 1, black 0) I can easily identify the problematic tile.
