Kothlis: Sea Haven [Final Version Released]

[thelegend]

Oh minecraft (lol)
that looks so awesome. Can't wait playing this map.
One question: Is that one map or a mappack?

[Maveritchell]

Really novel reuse of a unitasker-type prop. I'll be interested to see how well you blend it with its chiefly-wooden surroundings.

Grade-A work all around, though.

[GAB]

That's awesome! Reminds me a lot of Max Payne 3. May I ask what music you're using? Also, mind if I run it through Audacity and make it sound all club-y? (Mostly add a slight reverb effect and equalize it to sound like a club track - just so it sounds a little more real.)

OK. For the dawn variant I'm using Morcheeba - The Sea
For rain I'm using Saki Kaskas -Rainman
For dusk I'm using Saki Kaskas - Aquadelic
For night I'm using Saki Kaskas - Greyhound

And regarding making the music club-y, I may contact you Marth when I actually start implementing sound.

It is a map with four periods of the day (which I like to refer to as variants) that are randomly chosen before a mission.

And thanks Mav.

[thelegend]

Hm really cool. You said randomly, so you can't select your variant or have I understood it wrong? Or are all 4 variants different eras in your map?

[GAB]

You understood right. It is not possible to choose whether the battle will be at night or during the day. This randomness applies to all eras and modes.

[thelegend]

Hm sounds nice and interesting. Again I can't wait to play this map.

[PRECISION]

Is it possible to post some more screens?

[GAB]

Maybe soon. I'm doing some revamps here. If I get any good result I'll post it here.

[PRECISION]

Okay thank you

[GAB]

Little update. I replaced the pillows around the tables in the discotheque with actual chairs. I think it gave the environment some more depth.

Hidden/Spoiler:

Let me know what you guys think.

[Anakin]

still thinking this need to be a bad party without guest

But the location looks really awesome
Will you add an stream Zone with party music when you come nearer to the discotheque??

[PRECISION]

Looks so good man. I'm so ready for this

[RattleandHum1988]

My god this looks fantastic.

[PRECISION]

I know this will be my new favorite map for battlefront ever.

[GAB]

Will you add an stream Zone with party music when you come nearer to the discotheque??

Yes. And there will be a special music for each variant.

In all honesty, ignoring the fact that the logistics of adding guests is prohibitive of doing so, I wouldn't want them to be there in the first place. This isn't a modern game where we can have NPCs partying and then run away when fighting starts, they'd just ignore their surroundings in a firefight and keep partying? That's hardly realistic.

I'd prefer it empty rather than filled with static or animated props.

Actually, what GAB could do is have party-goer locals *who don't respawn* who are running around at the beginning of the match.

[Dreadnot9]

Maybe some dead party guests would be a good middle-ground. Evidence that people go to this club, but also no issues with what Wulf mentioned above. Plus, it gives the impression that a battle is actually happening here (besides the battle happening here).

[Marth8880]

Yeah! Dead ones as well as non-respawning locals would be great! I think it was D.U.C.K. who released a couple anim sets for dead units and such - they're even used on Eden Prime in my mod. Of course, it's up to GAB if he wants to do either of these things, though.

[PRECISION]

Dead people would ruin it IMO. I think it's just great without people running around. Think of any other shooter. Most of the time it's been abandoned becuase they don't want to die.
