    Every one loves updates. So here's the resent progress on Overlord. This is the BLOOD update.
    There's still loads of work on this map and a new ending to be released after the 2.3 patch. but, while we wait for that. The map has more depth, detail and is more balanced. Here's a few photos of some of the small changes. The pix are a bit out of focus and don't do the map justest. You will have to wait and see it in real when its released.

    The dun_door texture is place holder.

    Heres a few teasers on the latest updates.

    The towers have changed to there final design and are in game looking fabulous.
    image

    This photo is what the last objective is now. Teams will have to fight over this ladder and climb it to the top to win the round.
    Its not as easy as it sounds because this is more like a ramp then a ladder. It has to be cranked to a 45 degree angle before you will be able to climb it. this room is still (WIP)
    image

    Other minor changes is the team flags have been replaced by color coated team objective icons.
    Red for Pirates, Green for Vikings and Blue for knights.

    Added soundscapes

    Another major change to the map is the vikings spawn area. Iv been wanting to add vegetation to the map for some time now. This area is still (WIP) but, you get an idea of what im going for here.

    Heavy on atmosphere, just the way I like it. I'd suggest using a different grass texture, the current uses a "%detail_type" called "Saints_grass" that has an error that causes the grass sprites to hover over the ground.

    Awesome man, i gotta say that even if there wasn't many competitors in the mapping comp, we still got a worthy winner. This map is together with gravedanger the only pvk map iv'e seen that has a heavy and dark athmosphere, keep up the good work man, this looks awesome

    I would say. Its not worth the Download at all at this point. That version is really old. It was playable but ended to quickly and seemed a bit boring.

    The new versions have a new ending and changed the balance of the map dramatically. But, however Its still being build. I'm only free to work on the map Monday-Wednesday. Which are my days off work. And usually those days Id rather do other things. So that is the reason for such slow progress on the map. but, I rather it be done right and final then. Half ass'ed and never finished.

    and the map is mostly custom so for some stupid reason the server doesn't let you dl the custom crap. So it has to be done from a link in the forums.

    The map is at ends design wise. Now its in its beta stages. For play testing and balancing test.
    The server will be password protected. Only my team at DS will be running it. Putting it threw its massive abuse. tongue.gif

    Once I get all the bugs out of the map and the problems with the server downloads. All open it up to the public again for happy.
    Power trips, lol.!

    Updates to the project are listed in the first post as always.

    The objectives are Obsolete, Apparently they where to confusing for your little minds, lol.
    Any ways now its territory. Capture the hovering Spire or fall to your doom.

    A few more minor tweaks and maybe all have a map to play test next week.

    Could you release two versions? One objective push and one territory.

  • kow75kow75 Senior
    edited 12:29PM
    Well, why?

    do you know of any other way or have ideas to make it a better objective push?

    After several play test of it with objective push.
    Even with all the sprites, game text hints and so on.
    Players still got confused on what to do.
    Ultimately not wanting to play and shortly after, ended up rage quitting.

    but if any one still likes the old objective push version.
    all release that as pvk_overlord_blood - old version deemed confusing
    and territory will be pvk_overlord - this is not an easy capture map, because the map fights back, lol.

    I never left Just was to busy with the orion source mod to work on overlord. And lets face it the first build was confusing yet none the other game modes at the time worked with the layout. I literly was sitting on the finnal version of the map. I tryed every mode and none fit. even dm got boring. so When I get some time all try updating it to tw_ and will go from there.

    TW has the advantage that even in a confusing map everyone knows where to got thanks to the trinket hud

    Has any one actully been waiting for the finnal build of this map. lol

    when it was objective push it had a hud for each objective.

    maybe the 1 hud in tw will make the map fun and playable.

    Heres where all the old screen shots for this project where moved to.

    As iv said before the map is done, It just needs an objective mode that is balanced and fun. Then updated to the latest build of pvk2. And then fix any new bugs I may run into.

    Other then that im actully playing with the map now. Debugging this random crash in the knights spawn room.
    Once this bug is found and fixed all have the map up.
