another one of my very originally named maps  ;) this one takes place in an underwater naval base
the map is currently in its final stages and, to the satisfaction of everyone who keeps asking me for it, i plan on releasing a SP version of the map once the MP version is finished
due to the SP level, several of the areas on this map are damaged, as you will notice in the screenshots, but i won't give anything away about what i plan for that level. regardless, the damaged content helps to add a new aspect that i have not really implemented in many of my maps before, and provides a lot of cover as opposed to some of my other maps. in testing, it has been much easier to ambush and evade on this map than some of my others. another thing that i tried with this map to fix some of the problems of my others, is that this map is much more circular than linear. the paths are laid out in a circuit that runs through the whole map, with the control room being in the center of that circle, having its own connectors to different parts. basically, that is to say that this map, although still fairly large, has in testing been a lot easier to traverse and find people on than some of my others
anyways, here are the screenshots:
barracks area with a view of a navy trooper (sadly, these only serve as decor in the MP version, but in SP there will be scattered ones to attempt to help you)

biosphere area

control room (basically the center of the map, from which you can access any other area) this screenshot also gives you a good look at the underwater environment outside

sub dock (1 of 2)

mess hall (which due to the battle is quite literally a mess)

officer quarters

smaller dock area with troop transport ship (you can go inside the ship, and this room will be where you start off in SP)

torpedo storage room

as always, i am open and asking for suggestions and feedback, so please let me know what you think

nice, are those things that can be placed in maps, while retaining compatibility with the default?

yeh darklord thats the good thing here its shadow props which add weps /nades to the pikups
any wep u make can become a pikup. but the nades are different u can only have the "stock" nade pikup selection for normal multiplay . unless say u remade your clonetrooper mod a la sandcrawler mod stylee then in the seperate props folder for it u kan have any wep from spawn and nades also !!
i pm u link for what i have so far and u can mod away ! i mean this as a standard extra mod for everyone when i can get rid of the bug isssue for dropped pikup static mesh hangin in mid air. ! i dunno if its some setting on the emitter to blame. 8)

fraz, if you want to and wouldnt mind, just let me know when you finish that and send it to me and ill upload it in the place of the current camo mod

as for the map, it is basically done, just a few small touch ups, but i kind of lost motivation to do that since there was an apparent lack of interest on these forums, plus im dealing with a ton of business stuff right now because i am about to open up an office for the summer so RC has kind of been the last thing on my mind lol...anyways, i've got a lot going on, but i'll try to get it up on here within the next two weeks for u guys, and there's a little added bonus that will come with the map too  8)

as far as the SP level goes, that will probably have to be later this fall, i am not going to have much free time at all this summer

well i finally got around to finishing it

as usual, there is the DM/TD version, and i also threw in a CTF version for the fun of it

as an added bonus, i have included a new map that i made to go with this one called Sub
the entire map is made to fit inside of one of the subs that you see inside my navybase and subbase maps, and lets you see what the interior of one of those ships looks like
the map makes for a great close quarters brawl, yet still allows for stealth and tactical play, and it is one of my only small maps, so enjoy lol

as of now, i cannot upload it to this site because it keeps telling me there is an error, i tried a few other places but they arent working either. im thinking it is something wrong with my internet. i will keep trying throughout the day to get this uploaded and get it to you guys, in the meantime, if you want the map, PM me or post your email here and i will email it to you

Are you uploading a ziP file? Or an exe installer. (Installers are not allowed to be uploaded directly, you can however zip a exe and upload that.)

i put the exe into a zip, but it keeps saying that the file size is 0 and cannot be uploaded

did you ever get a chance to check on this? i have still been unable to upload it

I just got back to my Linux computer with all of the website files on it. I had to upload it manually for some reason.

I think the file size was to big for the internet connection. http upload protocol will timeout after 5 minutes if I recall correctly.

I'm looking to see what the Edit File page needs to be finished, then you'd be able to upload some screen shots, add a description or w/e.

I added the link to your first post already, but here it is as well.

Yeh this is why i couldnt upload any mappaks or mods previously myself !!!!
The file size has been limited  :'(
Title: Re: Sub Base
Post by: Sandcrawler on July 13, 2011, 12:38:52 PM
I guess I explained it wrong. The max file size is around 64 mega bytes. But you need a fast Internet connect and more specifically a fast upload speed to upload a file that size. Otherwise the web browser times out and stops uploading after five minutes of uploading. My upload speed is 20kb/sec at its best (10 is the lowest I've seen) So to upload Sub Base it would take me 8.3 minutes, if my upload speed stayed consistent, after five minutes the server stops the script to make cut down on the server load.


With the hosting I have I can't change the timeout limit, that would allow for bigger files to be uploaded.
