SP_CIty_Of_War: RavenSearch - Full Working checkpoints - ReLinked -

[theinterlock]

Ravensearch is my first map using Unreal Editor, well, it is my first map at all because I never used any level editor. It was very difficult to learn how all it works but I think that the result will be worthy.

New repack features - 14/04/08:

· Full working checkpoints
· Level streaming
· Spawn points realocated
· Rebuilt Kismet spawn sequences
· Game flow upgraded

The working checkpoints will be saved in the save game folder so take care about your saved checkpoints. I didn´t test what happens with the checkpoints already saved.

Download it here *** Link Updated ***:

http://files.filefront.com/Ravensearchrar/;10155169;/fileinfo.html



There are five different files in the rar file, please note that the level that you have to load to play is the "P level":

SP_RavenSearch_CPA_P.war - The persistant level: Initial checkpoint, Global kismet and settings.
SP_RavenSearch_CPA_eH2.war - sub level: Secundary Kismet Sequences and checkpoints.
SP_RavenSearch_CPA_eH3.war - sub level: Secundary Kismet Sequences and checkpoints.
SP_RavenSearch_CPA_eH5.war - sub level: Secundary Kismet Sequences and checkpoints.
SP_RavenSearch_CPA_eH6.war - sub level: Secundary Kismet Sequences and checkpoints

I just got home from a trip and this is nice to come back to. Well done interlock, it looks beautiful. Will play it as soon as I can.

[theinterlock]

I would like to heard your opinion.

By the way ur name appears at ends credits ;P

[NewPCGamer]

its too bad that the gears of war editor completly sucks and keeps crashing... but it dosnt really surprise me considering that this is a MS game and epic really dosnt care about the pc version.

it looks good though

[jyu174]

I cannot open the map. After loading the map, it freezes with the initial screen grayed out. I can hear the music / sound for about 2 sec, and then GoW is dead.

[theinterlock]

I´m so Sorry about that. I have been playing at editor an ingame aswell and the game runs properly. I dont know what happenz.

[theinterlock]

Map was rebuilt, published again and repacked . Please try again

[Thaur]

well congratulations it doesn't crash now but the floor and some other things are all black. Are you sure you rebuilt the lighting?

also the view centers when it tells you to shoot the propane tank so you can't move and an enemy kills you. In fact any time the view centers it annoys me.

also one of the first drones to spawn spawns right next to you out of nowhere.

also if you already shot the propane tank the message still tells you to shoot it regardless.

the troika is giving me a hell of a time

I often had trouble with my teammates not following me. At the very beginning and the final in particular.

I got as far as the boomer that spawns after the lambent wretches. The garden area is great looking. The whole map is great looking except I preferred the earlier version of the first area. I think it is too cluttered now with fences and wooden shacks and rocks and such.

The rooftop with the fire behind the enemies and the boomer was amazing. The chopper landing scene is beautiful except I think the dust looks unneeded. The gardens area is a great combination of wood platforms and trees. I also really liked the seeder. I usually don't like seeders but it was perfect. I still think this is the best looking SP map out there. I just wish the lighting wasn't all messed up and the issues I mentioned were fixed.

I actually like this map so much and think it has such great potential that I am tempted to fix the problems myself but I wouldn't do that unless you had given up on it and gave me permission.

[theinterlock]

Thaur, thank u for your response. Remember, that is my first map. And also is the first time that I use the Unreal Editor. Let me grow up and it will be better. Wait for headquarters map.

I try the map before upload and was perfect. I have the same light issues with some FAR´s maps aswell. I dont know the reason.

You are right about the first car explotion, I have to check and change this part at Kismet.

The troika is very annoying but is his porpouse, I think.

I don´t now what to do with the team mates. I put a lot of "Go Here" but... they are so stupids.

Ok, about the first part of the map I like it in that way, sorry.

Dust maybe not fit, I have to change it. I agree with this.

Please, you have my permission to fix it. I will do my best also.

And please visit my new blog site: http://theinterlock-gear.blogspot.com/

could I link your web site from my blog as a friend?

I apreciate a lot your comments

[Core2TOM]

this repack works :) no gamecrashes anymore...

BUT

...ive got some very strange graphic errors, maybe i can show you a video of it tomorrow

[BloodRaven14]

Wow, you have just about the same specs I do interlock ecept you have a better processor. How laggy is multiplayer for you?

[theinterlock]

Sorry but I dont play usually at MP. Well it is true that in some parts of the game my framerate its not so good but more or less it is fast enough

[BloodRaven14]

At least im not the only one........Just checkin'

[Thaur]

I would be very happy for you to link to me on your website interlock. It is amazing that this is your first time in unreal ed. It looks like a professional map.

[theinterlock]

Ok, thank u for the permission. I will update my new website "blog" with your link.

by the way take a look over my website, I have some new images and videos of headquarters, maybe u can say something about it

Thank u for your support

[theinterlock]

I forgot, I have working checkpoints at my "test map" but I still having problems when I reload the checkpoint with the triggers and to make all the stuff spawn again, Do you know something about it?

[theinterlock]

Well, new repack with checkpoints and level streaming. Visit my blog or move up to the first post of this thread. Please report me any issue to fix it as soon as I can

[Pappi_man]

I just played your map and it was awesome map, but battles are too easy. I really hoped you would put some dialogs, so it wouldn't be so quiet. And I really liked your cutscenes especially the credits one.

But I entered 2 cover errors.

[theinterlock]

Well, thank u for your words. I will try to fix this covers error. Have you check the checkpoints?

Please check also my second map, u can find the link below in my signature

[Thaur]

Epic battle at the end! Biggest battle I have ever seen! Very fun throwing all of those grenades and shooting the boomshot so much. Nice sliding doors at the end and credits. I was excited to play this one and also want to see headquarters soon. Are you done with this map for good? If so that is fine. However, if you are still working on it I have some bugs for you.

the penants here should be no collision. They blocked my shots toward enemies.

As you can see, I have major issues with the lighting. Things look black. When I zoom in here for example it turns black.

Anyways, great job. Waiting for your tutorial.

[theinterlock]

Thaur, I guest you already saw the end credits. What about checkpoints?

About the Penants, I left this detail behind, sorry.

I dont now what is up with this ehole, has a colision very wierd.

Cover inside warehouse it´s a real bug.

I dont know how to resolve Your lighting problems . The map works perfectly for me and also in my friends computer here in spain.

I think that this map is already done. I want to focus know into Headquarters map. i want to implement all the checkpoints and level streaming. And beliveme this map will be amazing, I hope so.

[Thaur]

the checkpoints worked great. I really needed them because I died a lot!

[Core2TOM]

theinterlock you have something forgotten :rolleyes:

Note:

If u already have a MyPackage.upk file create a backup first to avoid loose your own package.but your "MyPackage.upk" file is missing in the repack2 (maybe thats the reason why i have texture problems)

[theinterlock]

Core2TOM, there isn´t any missing file coz I stop the use of custom packages due differents issues with some users. I think since the first final version isn´t used. Sorry about it was added to the readme file and forget to remove it. Sorry again.

[MarkcusD]

This was alot a of fun! Thanks for adding the checkpoints.

[jyu174]

The download link is now broken. Can you fix?

Thanks.

[theinterlock]

It was deleted from the FilesFront user page. WTF. I will try to fix it this noon. Sorry

[theinterlock]

Link updated in the first post. I hope this time work

[Core2TOM]

doesent work correct :( the problem is that this package is cooked! can you please release a uncooked version of this?

[theinterlock]

cooked package is the problem? I dont understand

[Core2TOM]

yes, i dont know why but exacly that is the problem!
i found it here: http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=608110

i had downloaded the cooked version first and got the same problem as with your map (i cant see bottom textures, just all black crap) then theron released his uncooked package and now it works perfectly!

ps: i got this same f***ing problem with many other cooked custom maps here

can you also release your map(s) uncooked, please? thanks

[theinterlock]

well, I will upload a version just for u

[Core2TOM]

i hope it will work... if yes, i love you!!! :D

like you can see here http://forums.epicgames.com/showpost.php?p=25387056&postcount=3
this problem appears with a cooked package (you dont have this problem, but everyone else who play it)

[ApocX]

I have the same lighting problems unfortunately.

Would you be interested in someone rebuilding the lighting and passing it back to you to see there's better luck?

[Core2TOM]

the problem is that this map is a cooked package... i hope theinterlock will release the uncooked version very soon

[Phayte]

i hope so too... for your sake.

[Ghostofdelta2]

[Calibur25]

Could you post your map again the link is down. I don't know if you still watch this thread but if you do please let me know about the updated link Via PM! I've been looking for a solution to checkpoints for a while now.

Checkpoints are so furstrating! :mad:
