I'm impressed to say the least. Downloading right now.

[legacy-Carbs]

Hey my man, what's different on this one (besides the aforementioned location swaps)?

[Dario D.]

Hey Carbs, wasabi (what's up)? What's new in this one? Well, now it looks like the dust leaves shadows... uh, a few new trees and decorations, a few scattered easter-eggs (and a flower that you can flatten when you step on it - 1 near-ish each base), and tons-and-tons of minor tweaks/fixes/decorations.

Bots still dont drive the Goliath at times, but that should be fixed by... today.

Overall it's %99 done, so I need to beta-test one last time to make sure no errors make it into the final release. Dreamus1 had fatal errors because of not enough beta testing.

so... :rolleyes: :up: I dont want 'that' to happen again.

[legacy-DimensionSeven]

Ohman, wish I could test it for you... :confused:
sry, I'm too busy learning. :sulk:

[legacy-Carbs]

Sweet. I played it, the dust shadowing is amazing. (This is me playing before reading your response.) I saw a flower near the 'Deemer, shot at it. Nothing happened. Didn't know it'd flatten if I stepped on it. :) Couldn't find any easter eggs... must look harder!
Great map, my fav user-made... or IS it?!?!?
Yes.

EDIT: Did some more testing, stay tuned for screenies...

[legacy-Carbs]

Okay, part bump and part bug report.

1) Missing part of the rock or something here: http://img77.photobucket.com/albums/v235/Carbohydrates/Holes.jpg

2) REALLY easy to do this. http://img77.photobucket.com/albums/v235/Carbohydrates/Manta.jpg I'm thinking collision problems?

3) This radar thing isn't affected by fog. http://img77.photobucket.com/albums/v235/Carbohydrates/NoFog.jpg

4) Is this plant supposed to be textured like a rock? http://img77.photobucket.com/albums/v235/Carbohydrates/Stone.jpg

5) At the blue base, there's a stretched-out storage tank that takes some shield-jumping to get to, and even then, you can't get on top without a manta. http://img77.photobucket.com/albums/v235/Carbohydrates/Stretched.jpg While at the Red base, there's a tank like that, but it isn't stretched and you can get up on/in it with simple jumping and double jumping. http://img77.photobucket.com/albums/v235/Carbohydrates/RedSnipers.jpg It makes a nice sniper spot.

Great map, I only did this to help ya out :)

[Dario D.]

Ok awesome, thanks Carbs (a lot), I've never noticed any of those problems, and they need fixing right away. :up: Thanks for going the extra mile to get screenshots up, very much appreciated. :)

---

2: Yeah, Mantas have an enourmous tendency to get stuck on just about anything. I dont think I can fix this... but I'll turn off collision on those corner decorations just in case.

4: You're the second person to point out that those plants are textured like rocks. That's because its a ROCK-PLANT :haha: :up: - but I guess the effect doesn't work :D, so I'll either try removing the "leaves" or just give it a plant texture :bulb: , hehe.

5: the storage tanks are decorations, but since you think they make good sniping spots, I'll try to get the Blue-Base one down to a climbable, campable size.

Update: I think I finally fixed the bot path problems with driving vehicles.

[legacy-=UM=TheMaster]

Sooo...where's the final version?

:p

[Dario D.]

You wont believe me. I still haven't solved the problem of bots spawning at the same 2 nodes over and over and over and over and over and over...

So I'm going to have to redo that area :( However, your patience is not without reward; Some things have changed :up:

[legacy-herryoyo]

Groovy. I'll check it out when I get home.

I've actually been running the first version of it for a few days now, and it's very fun. It's nice to play on a bloody map that isn't primeval or frostbite :P

It's not your map.

(you meant to say "It's not *only* your map)

Yes, I know, other people have that problem too. I already posted 3 threads on the issue, and the only solution seems to be to redo the area. :( :up:

I apologize that I'm taking so long; Im working very, very hard on a weapon set, and it just takes sooo much time. I wont be able to finish Dreamus until I at least finish 2 weapons in the set, so that the mod can have some stable ground before I take a day to finish my map.

[fuegerstef]

Looking awesome.

Is the default Link-Setup a so called "choke point" setup.

If yes, and if in Dreamus (1) the Setup was a choke point setup, I suggest to change it for this version. There are (IMO) too many choke point / single line setups in user maps around.

[Dario D.]

Its a multipath setup. Each base connects to 2 nodes, which all connect to 1 node on top of the mountain. That's the choke point in the default setup.

The other setups (and the 2 extra nodes) provide more multipath setups.

Dreamus 1 suffered from "too many nodes in a long line" syndrome; a problem that I didnt see the symptoms of until I had already released it... fancy that. This time you have a variety of paths to and from the mountain (a new mountain) - none of which can "see" the node... infact most of the nodes are protected by the landscape and can't be "sniped" from a distance this time.

...well, play it :) :up:

[legacy-Harsh_but_Fair]

Couple of Bugs;

The er girderthingys next to the goliath DESPERATELY need coliision. It's Very Angoying to say the least when you goliath get stuck in them at the beginnign of a game.:mad: http://img24.exs.cx/img24/7296/Shot9.th.jpg (http://img24.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img24&image=Shot9.jpg)

There's also this:

And THIS easter egg;

Nah, it's nothing to do with the map AFAIK.
Just a bug in the last patch.

[Dario D.]

Doh', you found the box of static meshes! :D

Anyone find anything that you can... squish yet?

[legacy-ZAR-4]

This is such a great map, i have never had so much fun actually playing with bots. Great stuff

[legacy-DimensionSeven]

Ok, I'll give it a try. I'm in a squish-a-delic mood! :D

[legacy-DimensionSeven]

Don't blame me, you asked for it! :D

In general it's great. The atmosphere is better than ever. The elevator rocks! The cubemaps in the bases are looking very ace! I don't want to write about gameplay, cause I'm not an ons-fan, I rarely play it (I lag too much), but I liked it. :up:

Thx for the tip, but what's wrong with monkeyfiles? U don't see the pics? :bulb:

[legacy-Harsh_but_Fair]

I c them fine. ?

Great map found danelion. And other things, i'll keep u posted with sum images soon.


Harsh

[legacy-Harsh_but_Fair]

Here are sum bugs;

http://img22.exs.cx/img22/566/Shot34.th.jpg (http://img22.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img22&image=Shot34.jpg)

Lighting gone wrong

http://img22.exs.cx/img22/7995/Shot00040.th.jpg (http://img22.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img22&image=Shot00040.jpg)

Please fix this!

http://img22.exs.cx/img22/4894/Shot00025.th.jpg (http://img22.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img22&image=Shot00025.jpg)

Wrong sign thingy. Should be blue? Couldn't u put team symbols on these instead sumhow.

Easter eggs:

http://img22.exs.cx/img22/6715/Shot00038.th.jpg (http://img22.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img22&image=Shot00038.jpg)

and

http://img22.exs.cx/img22/1917/Shot00039.th.jpg (http://img22.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img22&image=Shot00039.jpg)

there u go

a suggestion would be...

on the blue side og the map, the corner withthe large segasaurus shaped pile of rocks, couldn't u put sum thing else there. It's kinda boring that that's just it sum rocks. Sum weapons or a vechile sumthing please. Oh i found redeemer.

Harsh

[legacy-DimensionSeven]

I don't thing the signs need change. Those are not team-indicators, but rather wind-indicators. :) Rather for the atmosphere. And it wouldn't work in ONS anyhow.

LOL, I didn't find the deemer! :noob:
Yes, there are some out-of-action places of the map, but that's not necesseraly wrong. Or is it? Dunno, don't play ONS too much.

Btw harsh, what weapons did you use? Which mod?

[legacy-Harsh_but_Fair]

I think it's annilalation or something... It's really good, it's still beta though, it's somewhere in this forum, there are vechiles to, though i do use them as they don't work too well on this map.

Harsh

[Dario D.]

Ok, im looking into all the problems. Actually, what Im really doing is PLANNING to look into all the problems as soon as I have time away from the weapon set to sit down and fix stuff.

TY all.

Dreamus2 is TEH DONE!!!1
