DM-Focus-SE (Second Edition) and DM-Focus-PE (Physics Edition)

[ZixXer]

Name: DM-Focus-SE and DM-Focus-PE
Version: 2.0
Compatibility: PC & PS3
Players: 2-6
Description: this is a tech map just below the ground, that was left empty for years and is now found by the Liandri corporation to be the sweet spot for the next tournament.
Comments: I have made this map for the 3Dbuzz old school contest. but I did not had the time I needed to make the map how I wanted.
but this SE version done. I took the time I need to finish it. this SE does got allot of small changes so allot of the comments are used to make this a kick ass map.
lots of thing are going on at the same time so were ever you look there is a nice effect. broken walls leaking pipes, even the water is under power by a light.
and if the invisible spawns the map turns a bit blue/green and the blue lights will blink on/off. until the invisible is taken. and everything is back to normal.
if you standing in the light beams of the lamps on the floor you will see the over lighted effects.
and standing to long, directly below the sun will bring up a nice sun effect.

This is the Second Edition, the physics version looks almost the same!










This is the Physics version!! after a small fight

if you have PE V1.0 plz del the map and download this V1.2 (Fixed the jump pad not working!)
DM-Focus-PE also got a Best Use of Physics MSUC Phase 2 Honorable Mention!

[coolcat22]

cool the map go final

[RoninMastaFX]

Good job ZixXer!

If you need me to test and cook for the PS3, I'm your right-hand man.

Btw, this version is helluva lo better than v1.0 in too many way! Great work!

[stevelois]

Hey ZixXer

Thx for applying my suggestions. Love the fact that the 4 windows don't have any force field and the pipes are now standing out more behind the remaining force field The text file is also very well completed he he he

Now, I'll have to change my GPU to play the "PE" Edition

Your map rocks and best of luck for MSUC P2 !!!

[shak18]

Plop i just have downloaded the second BETA jajaj but is great we finally have the final the map rocks

[ZixXer]

Plop i just have downloaded the second BETA jajaj but is great we finally have the final the map rocks

he he sorry but it is the final now, there only will be a PE (physics Edition) version but you need GOOD! pc or a physics card.
over 1000+ opjects that can move

[Fonz001]

Hey zixxx!
This map is even better then DM-Xiao lol!!! nice work!
Say hi to hanz 4 me will ya?

[stevelois]

The "PE" version is also available

Yippie !!!

THX

The text file is for the "SE" version

[Bret Hart]

Physics edition REALLY LAGS on my system.

[aLeX]

hey, surprisely the physix version runs good on my machine without any physics capable processor, well done

however the big steam-hole which pushes you to the top of the map doesnt work anymore for me, maybe a bug? also i exspected breakable glass in front of the pipes

[ZixXer]

O yes Damm forgot to FIX it!
I will upload a working version! ASAP

[Stuey95]

i think the link may be broken or my pc is being lame again

[ZixXer]

only the PE is broken now, becaus I forgot to fix a bug (this will be fixed in 3+- hours.
the SE is still wide open! for downloading
and the ps3 version is on the way no worrys.

Great map, now I need try this new physics version. And I am back from vacation with new computer to test it out.

[stevelois]

Hey ZixXer

I suggest you do a paragraph in your first post for explaining about the adequate requirements for the "Physics Edition".

Hardware Physics requirements are pretty high so if you don't explain that to people, you will get complaint about poor performance if users have an old, not up-to-date pc.

Look at my thread, post # 151, you can use everything you want to explain what it take.

What I already told you is that your map is even better optimized than the NVidia Official Physics mod. I have 19-35 FPS in your map and around 9 FPS in the mod. So your map is very optimized. You can be proud

Shame for those who don't have a very good GPU (GF8800 512 & ATI R4850 512 minimum).

[Coreper]

awesome!
cant wait to get it! *downloading now*
also waiting for the PE...

[ZixXer]

Good news, all versions are ready for the downloads, fixed the PE jumppad bug.

[Galivan]

Hey ZixXer nice improves to the map, follow the stevelois requests give the map to the good way of visuals,etc. Nice work man!

[Crynyd]

Awesome map! as always ZixXer, plays great on PS3 however there is a small problem. Your map name only shows 'SE' in the selection window, which could make it hard to find if you have a lot of maps installed, still... Thanks for cooking for PS3.

EDIT: Just to let you know, the map name is displayed correctly on the loading and pause screens, it's just the selection screen where it is not.

ooo thats not good, i did not cook the map myself, and dont know a thing about cooking for ps3.

(you want a new cook with the name fixed??)

[Crynyd]

Yes please!!! looks a bit odd having a map named 'SE' in the collection, especially one as good as this.

[ZixXer]

ok taking the link down
and updating it asap

for players that did download the ps3 version plz uninstall the map so that there will be no miss match versions online!

[bummerman]

very nice maps, the PE version is crashing my computers on loadup. I have three high end computers that I've tried playing it on and 2crash on load up. Now that i think of it, the xp computer does fine and the Vista 64 computers both crash. I just tried it on a 3rd Vista 64 comp and it crashed

[ZixXer]

I have vista 32, and it works perfect.

new PS3 version out now, hopfuly fixed the name bug, i have no ps3, so i can not test it out.
sorry for the bug.
hope you guys like this map have fun playing!

[Coreper]

i played both versions, on the pc
and i gotta say: i love them!
the PE version even runs good on my machine, without PhysX compatible cards or a PhysX card [and with PhysX turned off :P], but it still looks really cool!

i also find the lights effect with the invisibility very awesome

[Crynyd]

Just tried the new PS3 cook, the name is displayed as 'DM-Focus-SE' now, so I guess the cook is fixed Thanks for the recook.

[Coreper]

you definitly succeeded this time

[ZixXer]

you definitly succeeded this time

thanks.
lets hope the next map wil look/play even beter. (now making a map for renegade-X, islands.)

[RógHuR!]

Nice map. Definitely worth the download.

[[TDC]Destroyer]

Sorry for not even reacting on this one man...

This one is really great! (But you already knew my opinion)

[Odedge]

I liked the original and I like the new SE version as well. You definately have the artistic eye as it shows in just looking at the map. While the layout is on the simple side (using the same essential shape for hallways), it works well. The only quirk about the map is that sometimes some of the artistic elements are too much "in your face", which can effect the game play. Overall, really nice map.

The PE edition, well what can I say, I will wait until I upgrade my computer soon to test it out. I can play the nVidia PhysX maps fairly well. But in your map, there might be too many physics objects being displayed at one time. Oddly enough, most maps that have a lot of physics objects lag even before you play the game.

thanks,
what doe you mean with the in your face? the pp of the lamps?

Probably, usually when I am playing the map I am "flying" around it trying not to die (which is a good thing). If you want, I could always post screen shots, but I am sure it's a PP volume.

I guess that since they are small you tend to go through them quickly which can be a shock to the player's eyes. Water PP are different as you tend to stay in the water for a few seconds or more.

When making maps, we always have to find balances and this is one of them. Depending on who you asks, having these effects can either add or distract to the game play, so you can never please everyone.

when you turn off the hardware PhysX in the config menu, you will find this map very good playable [Physhics still work]
without much lagg

if you'r playing a normal game you dont stand still (only campers)
so you only see a small change. and i think most players did not even see that the waterfall and the small water comming out of the pipes got blue pp effects to.

but first the map was all about the right gameplay feel and after i had all that I was going for a realy intense ambient feel. and i think it turned out ok.

you can NEVER have all players like a map, i do know that... to bad for the players that do not like this.

[TimbreWolf]

The PE version is only for players that have a High!!! end system or a physics card. More then 1100 physics opjects.

OMG! Those exclamation marks really were warranted. I have a pretty good GPU but I guess my slightly older CPU just can't handle it.

[Coreper]

try turning of the hardware physx: it still looks pretty nice without it [still gots physx]
