MP_Ruin

[Quinn DelHoyo]

This is the final version of MP_Ruin. The play testing and re-iterating pushed its release back longer than I had expected but it was well worth the extra time to make sure that it played well. Thanks.

I loved it before, love it now. That sh*t is absurdly nice.

[EpicCarnage]

can't w8 to play it online anyone want a game just send a message to Rob Watkin5

[Phayte]

Guy above has a habit of kicking people that dont use sniper. >_>

[NewPCGamer]

this is easily one of the best if not the best looking user created maps ive seen so far. The amount of detail is amazing, and the lighting is top notch. Keep up the good work, and ill be downloading when i get back from vacation!! :)

[nELsOn]

i just checked this one out and i gotta say it's really great. it runs great, it looks great and the flow seems nice as well - though i didn't have the opportunity to play it online yet. but i damn well hope to :)
keep up the good work, man!

[kuhlka]

'Deez' did a phenomenal job on this map and really knows his stuff when it comes to gameplay design. The playtesting was stupid-fun.

Can't wait to see you out in the industry, bro.

Gameplay gameplay gameplay, eh?

[Quinn DelHoyo]

Thanks for all of the support and helpful feedback. If anyone wants to play this online, feel free to send a message my way.

[The_Big_TickeTT]

Man, I have looked at this map many times and this is the single most thing that I am jealous over regarding the PC version; beautiful maps like this.

Thanks man. You still play GoW on the 360?

[misteryapyjawls]

Damn... Is that one map?

[Quinn DelHoyo]

Damn... Is that one map?

Yeah, this is a map that I just finished up a week ago. It's actually a small map with some asymmetry to the visuals to help players learn their surroundings faster.

[The_Big_TickeTT]

Thanks man. You still play GoW on the 360?

Yeah I do.

[Quinn DelHoyo]

Yeah I do.

I'm currently really busy right now trying to get a job, but we should play when I have more time.

[The_Big_TickeTT]

^That sounds great, send me a FR if you already have not. I say that because I just recently got a FR from somebody who I believe is on the boards.

[mjordan]

Wow, awesome map!!!

[Kantham]

Sorry to sound off topic, but feel free to add me as well Deez. :)

[Darth Axel 007]

looks brilliant

[Taffer]

Holy ****.

Do you work as a level designer? If not, you could easily get a job with work like this. This is definitely up to par with the original maps.

[Darth Axel 007]

in what package do you find foliage/plants/trees/grass

[Kantham]

Download his level and check it out?

[Quinn DelHoyo]

Holy ****.

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah I am actually a professional level designer.

I don't remember the exact packages for all of my plant life but I know that COG_Foliage is a decent package.

[Taffer]

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah I am actually a professional level designer.


That explains a lot. It's cool to see that you're still able to level design for a separate game for free on top of professionally level designing, though.

[MrWaffles]

Yeah deez, the only way to contact me in private is through www.gearsofwarhammer.tk or mrwaffles at hotmail.co.uk as a certain moderator has removed my ability to PM people. Good times :p

Wait a second. I know you're stalking me so you should be able to answer this question: If I cannot send or recieve messages. How am I going to recieve infractions??? lol. Stop reading my PRIVATE messages.

Anyway.... back to the subject. It would be an honour to have you working with with us Deez, even if it's only to add some finishing touches. We won't be gaining any monetary profit from it so your company shouldnt have a problem.

UPDATE: Freeman has just finished the UVW and the second helmet. We're rolling :D

[BlkBullet23]

Cool. this map is looking badass.

[Bare Lakus]

Looks exactly what I would imagine Epic would do!

AMAZING JOB!

Thanks alot for the compliments. I'm glad that all of the hard work put into it is appreciated.

[snake85027]

can someone post screens i don't have gears of war on pc!

[Crayfish]

Pls could someone re-upload the actual map itself? Stock level quality as everyone has commented from the look of the pics.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Crayfish.

[Monst3r x]

Any pictures?

[Sulman]

Hey Deez, you still around? The domain where your level is hosted doesn't work. Any way we can get our hands on this? Thanks!

[Kantham]

Voted 5 stars for the asswhipes who brought this down to 3. :)
Yeah the screenshots link are no more.

[DeMiZe28]

Can you fix the download? Link is broken.

[Crayfish]

Can you fix the download? Link is broken.
I've uploaded this map here to download:
http://files.filefront.com/MP+Ruinrar/;12898028;/fileinfo.html

Good quality maps like this should have a permanent home. Its a shame that gowpc.com (or whatever it was called) is offline now. Too many maps get lost. Unreal has many 'map sites' there really should be atleast one for GOW...

[NastyNoodle]

everyone report this A****le

[Abyssal Nova]

The Filefront link isn't working and the screens aren't working... I would really love to play this map especially after seeing all this crazy cool feedback.

Anybody that wouldn't mind taking a few minutes of their time to upload to a new site for me and future users to download would be super sweet! :D

Yo sorry to sound like a newb but how do I play this offline? I can't start the game unless I have 2 players.

[LiquidLeary]

Open the Console by pressing the ~ key (next to the 1 key), then type "Open mapname"

[leimrod]

Hi, I'm having trouble getting this map to run, I'm using GoW patched to 1.3. I'm also using Vista x64 and my system is fairly high spec (4Ghz C2D, 4870x2, 8GB RAM). Is there any other steps I need to take to get it to run other than putting it in the CustomMaps folder and running "open mp_ruins"

When I run that command the game just freezes and I have to shut it down with a ctrl-alt-del.

The only map I've managed to get running is mp_spire.

Do I need to start the exe's as administrator or download some texture packs or something?

You shouldn't need to download anything other than the .war file, and I recommend always running the .exe as Admin on Vista.

It sounds like you have the map file in the correct place since the game is crashing when you open it. I haven't tried this map on Vista, so I'm not sure what would be causing it to crash. You are the first person I have heard of with a problem on this map. Hopefully someone else knows more.

[leimrod]

Would most people be running these maps in XP? Is anyone here running Vista x64 and has this map working?

It's very odd though. Do I need to do something in the editor first, or add any parameters to a shortcut (I currently have -enableconsole added to my GoW shortcut)

[Quinn DelHoyo]

I've updated the download link as well as the pics. Sorry about the delay in fixing this thread. It's just that I had lost my last domain and it took me a while to get around to do this. Thanks for the patience.

[darksin]

looks great man, how bout a horde bot version.....

[Quinn DelHoyo]

looks great man, how bout a horde bot version.....

Sorry, but I'm not going to change this map into a horde/lance map b/c I specifically designed it for multiplayer gameplay and I have absolutely no time to go back and retrofit old projects. I'm just too busy right now.

[darksin]

that's really sad, this map is absolutely the best and most beautiful detailed level design i ever see in gears forum,
not many custom maps reach and beyond the official map quality like this one....
you, Theron and Mozi are the best gears mappers.

[Kantham]

Hey Deez.



you, Theron and Mozi are the best gears mappers.

You forgot a bunch.

[darksin]

yeah, i forget add a mp limit, if there's a mp competition, this map will win no doubt, maybe sb. else can do the lance with author's permission ? Deez sound like epic, we are busy, no time... :D
If there's a custom lance map competition now, Deevern is in first class, also theron's caveyard,mozi's pipeline. Best map needs the balance between gameplay and beauty, other maps plays great, but they got many man made trails..

[Quinn DelHoyo]

maybe sb. else can do the lance with author's permission ?

I have no problem with someone else creating a Lance version for MP_Ruin. They would have my blessing.


Deez sound like epic, we are busy, no time...

I am definitely on to bigger, better, and more badass things.

[darksin]

More badass thing, sounds cool man, good luck...
Someone like glacius can do the convert, he perfectly convert a lot official mp, but he rarely appear here...
Still hope Deez do it, more people can play, and you know the map much better, but i think make this happen seems harder than epic port gears2....:o

[Taffer]

You're now speaking to an Epic employee!

[darksin]

Epic employee!, well That's why this map is damn great and the best one even beyond official mp quality,
i love drawing with painter, beautiful things like this always grasp my attention...

Anyway, maybe Taffer can do the convert? long time no see,man.
Also this is great that epic knows lance mod, if they port gears2 pc, modders can do better...

[Kurt Cobain]

Hey Quinn,

Great work.
I followed the instructions in the readme, and when I load the map, it works, except some glitches and missing textures. I get weird water effects and things turn black-foggy when I get closer to an object.

Anyway to get around it?

Otherwise this looks fantastic.
Thanks for sharing!

[Bushido]

Old school thread is Old school but still badass :D

[SPOONDIP]

i want to play but know one to play with

[TheMofologist]

This should be in Gears 3!

[JUGGERNUT]

Well, the guy who made the map is working for epic.

[darksin]

First class map design, perfect layout and brightness just like official ones.............

[TheMofologist]

Well, the guy who made the map is working for epic.

Then, lets make it happen!
