Now you tell me they look like shit... :'(

Its basically your crystal texture on func_brushes
And i actually like how they look.

I was wondering what that texture was. Looks great! Love the Xen stuff.

Sorry for the huge frickin bump, but:

This truly is the FORGOTTEN warheads!

oh god oh man ffff

This is the part where I say: oc_warehouse_onslaught!

Which reminds me, what happened to the pvp onslaught map!

Now I'll shutup, I got way more old WIP lying dormant in this here section of the forum.

Oh god warehouse, i haven't touched that for a year, just lost interest working on it, but its not scrapped, just on hold, its way too far in progress.

And that onslaught map merely started as a test map to experiment with halo content on, i desperately tried to give it a real purpose so i can release it, because i spent quite some time on the map itself and i like the looks of it, but none of the things i did with it are really enjoyable yet, and i don't just want to shit out a half-assed map in an desperate attempt to just release it.

They both will see the light of the day someday I'm sure, i just don't release maps before I'm sure they are fun to play.

hehe, ya I released one or two half assed maps

Same reason I haven't released oc_cadaverous. I tried to stay close to the oc_starship_troopers formula that made that map fun, but then when we finally playtested it it was just "meh". Though I think it has a lot to do with the difference between slow-moving zombies compared to swarming antlions that affected it the most; the same formula can't really be used.

True, the dod mapadds I made just with normal zombies was a bit meh.

Whilst on the subject of cadaverous, I havent played the map, but I would say have you considered using all the zombies (normal + fast and poison) + headcrabs (u know I love your classic poison + fast crab killer combo). also sk_ configs to make slashes give more damage etc. That coupled with lives would be awesome. I just feel the mod still dosn't have a good lives map involving zombies (which really good zombie survival is all about).

I just hate to see work end up on the scrap heap, I'm not saying make every map official, but I do think that even the lesser maps get play time just because regular players love variation.

Well maybe I just been around the mod too long and played too much.

On another note, I was thinking of pm'ing you about your flare boxes.
I'm currently making a antlion hive 'escape' map and I'm trying to make the map as confusing as possible, so one of the options I was considering was a very dark map lighting wise, then I thought about flares. Maybe if I get the map actually close to completion (something Ive been incapable of recently) I'll let you play the map see if I can pursuade you for permission.

But yeah I do understand both of you and your points, you know what Im like I just love more content!

Don't zombies have an option to use a running animation as flag or something in hammer? I always wondered about having 28 days later zombies lol

State of the map? still on hold or have been cancelled? (for edit it in the wiki).

Haven't touched this map since. I'd say its on hold but there's no point in adding it to the wiki.

This was that map I was thinking of...

I hope one day you do finish this. I'm not a big fan of antlions but that cave is pimpin.
