AS-Oceanic [UPDATED] [PICS]

[legacy-FireCrack]

Name:AS-Oceanic

Version:Pre-Alpha

Compatibility:UT2004

Description:In the year 2260 After the Axxon corparation used deadly force to steal both Izanagi's and Rodian Dynamics' halves of the prototype Ion-Plasma tank Izanagi Tracked the tank prototypes to a small oil platform on one of the moons of Taron. Izanagi forces were sent in to retrive the two Ion tank prototypes by whatever needs nescecary. Due to circumstances the Ingazani forces aided my the NEG Assembeled the two halves of the Ion-Plasma tank on site by using the equipment in the Axxon underwater base found there.

Comments: Like AS-Junkyard played nothing like DM-Junkyard (or dom) i hope this map to be much more liked than DM-Oceanic. Also like AS-Junkyard there will be a few multiple routes. For example at the first part of the map the defenders have a chance of hiding the Ingzani ion tank half in a bunker or proceeding to the main lift to the underwater base. As the defenders aproch the lift it will be obliterated by an orbital ion cannon wich as well as removing one of the two routes into the base for the attackers second objective also forces them to bring the ion-plasma tank to a completely different last objective (underwater)

I was Inspired to make this map by ACC's offtakes on AS-Fallencity. I decided to make a more direct sequel because, welll... that's the way i am. I will constantly update this thread so it can be considered the map's "homepage" Please leave any feedback you feel is nescecary.

Update, new pics

no there's another underwater area i didnt take a screen of, but it's about the smae size. If the defenders get the orbital cannon to fire theres another slightly bigger area. That platform is realy small by the way.

But overall it's still a preety small AS map.

[musilowski]

Oh, OK. :D
Still looks cool! :up:

[legacy-Meroin]

Yesss. The floodgates open for assault maps!

Looks fun.

[DigitalBacon]

Lookin good keep at it! We need all the assault maps we can get that aren't racemaps =\

[legacy-Nuclear hazard]

looking forward to this:up:

[legacy-KnivesTheMapper]

It looks very interesting, I hate most assault maps because they're so big that when you die, you can't catch up half the time. But I dunno, DM-Oceanic will always be one of my favorite maps...

Heh, i liked it too, but got the feeling not many other people did. Never was my 'favorite' though.

[Dario D.]

Oh! Underwater Assault - looks like great fun.

That one underwater assault map in UT classic was a favorite :up:

[legacy-FireCrack]

udated, new pics, ION CANNON :D

oh does it still talk about raptors somehere up there? whell i dont tremember posting it and cant find it. Either way, there will be no raptors except for mabye some mover raptors that fly across periodicaly.

[legacy-CaTdAeMoN]

that explosion looks fantastic! great job! :up: :up: ;)

[-=Reclaimer=-]

this map shows alot of promise:)

[legacy-FireCrack]

I wonder when i announced this a few months ago how many people thaught "Gah another mapper splurging on special features he'l never get done"

[legacy-FireCrack]

Why do all the other AS amp threads get so much more attention than mine :(. Anyways i'l give a closed beta to the next people that reply to this thread who can test it at late night PST (so basicly eurou guys and people that stay up realy late). By then i should have all the major bugs ironed out. If someone can provide a server to test this on that would be great. Hopefully this can be done like tommorow and be submitted to MSUC.

[Nathjan]

Well i can test it for you but i can't provide a server, sorry. the screens look great, and we definitly need more real AS maps.

[legacy-FireCrack]

ok, if i cant get a server all the posters, (got room for mabye 6-8 more) will just get to test the map offline a day before everyone else.

[legacy-AcidReflux]

I'd offer Wolfgaming.net, but I think that would give it far more attention than you want at this point. Our players can be very critical of maps that haven't gotten a lot of online testing yet and have severe issues. Also, I wouldn't be around much to assist in loading new versions, etc.

[DigitalBacon]

How the hell did I miss this? Firecrack that looks amazing plus it has a very original theme which I love and it has a good background story to it.

As soon as the beta is out send me a private message would you? I can't wait to try this baby out!

[legacy-FireCrack]

gah, i only have today to finish it cause i'm going away tommorow, i'l get these last couplea bugs fixed then send it to you guys.

Tried to send you this PM as I am laying low but your mailbox was full so ...

"Your map looks really great and it has pulled me back out of "retirement" heh heh. I would seriously love to beta test this from the perspective of an IA player if possible. I have helped out several devs in this respect.

I have a thing for AS maps ... I love devs who make (or even attempt to make) good content! :)

So if you would like my assistance let me know .. if not I'll wait for the final version and just be thankful someone made a decent AS map! :D Please make sure the bots are at least decent. :)

[legacy-FireCrack]

Well, if i dont make the deadline i still intend to finish it good, but then i will never, ever, ever, make an assault map again, now i know why there are so few community AS maps.

[AnubanUT2]

PM is still full so ...

Why? Was the experience that bad?

[legacy-FireCrack]

Well, this is an unusualy complex AS map, but yeah, it is hell. It could also have to do with me racing for the MSUC deadline (i've given up on MSUC now)

Basicly i dont realy mean what i said, i intend to make another AS map but i want to work on some other maps for different gamemodes (and mods) first. Anyways, i have no idea what to do for another AS map now, i might make an experimental vehicle based (like confexia) AS map after ECE is released, try and get it to *work* but until then, i dont know.


Oh by the way, scince school is starting now and everything this map may take longer, but i figure t's better to release a good finalised m,ap than a rushed unfinished map.


Anyways, when i started i knew it was a little ambitious for my second map ever :bulb:

[legacy-Shakuurn]

AS maps are usually too ambitious for a lot of us, anyways. :bulb:

I like how this map is coming out. I shall be looking forward to the beta. :)

with the MSUC out the way and school starting up and unforseen problems in the map this is gonna take a while longer, but i'l keep you posted.

[legacy-xeronut]

How's progress coming on this map? It looks.. damned good. I can't wait =D

[legacy-FireCrack]

Ugh, it's stuck on the backburner, probably until the year's over. I need to concentrate on my studies.

[legacy-Tola]

Well, the year's over. :D Any progress?

[legacy-FireCrack]

Till summer was waht i meant.

Guess i was somewhat nondescript.
