New Map: - DarkSide

[shane ward]

Well, People talking about new mods, all the hype around, Well, I thought I would make something and release it, to make everyone happy they have something to grab and have a go.

Well, if the art work will not kill you then the enemy will.

Welcome to DarkSide. A 1 on 2 battle on the unbefore seen region of the planet dark. You will never recognise this planet.

You are dropped on this work to steel your recyciler back from the enemy. Once you have it, you are free to do what you like. 2 isdf bases on this planet will fight you to the death.

You are the scions fighting the ISDF. If you liked Kill Frenzeyyyy then you will like this.

The design and artwork of the map will make you love it. I hope.

I would like to encourage all webmasters to download and post this on there websites, if you have the space.

Shane,

To get it up on bzscrap.com you'll need to talk to CmptrWz.

[Red Devil]

You can stick it up on FileFront too.  Lots of room and bandwidth.

[CmptrWz]

It is on my task list to do a quick review and post to BZScrap.

[shane ward]

Thanks, CmptrWz you are a star I used an old E-mail, was not sure it was getting through.

Sorry about that Centerline, I reset my PC and forgot to turn on the file sharing program. You should be able to download it now.

I gave up after the first try since the ai seems to send a group of four scouts, followed by another group of four scouts, followed by another group of four scouts after teh player and recycler.  This is after the turrets bring the recycler's health down to 40%.

Cool SW, I'll get and give er a whirl. I love new stuff...BNG.

PS: I got it okay, try using a download manager like Free Download Manager. It supports resumable DL's, and adds it to a list so if you want to DL it again you can do easily. It's free and with the expansion pack you can use it to unzip quite a few common formats too...BNG. PS: Tanks Shane.

This map is for battlezone 2 1.2 bp3

There are supposed to be scouts at the enemy base and they are not supposed to leave it until the player has his recy deployed and even then the scouts are supposed to attack the scavengers. I believe that the game might be sending Idle units out to attack the players recy, like Idle dispatch I think. I will need to look into it as this never happened when I played it over 20 times.

The turret thing is fairly simple when you know how. You have plenty of time to get the recy out of the small base, Best Idea of doing this is to: -

Get the satual(Timer Bomb). Then sniper a enemy scout.

Use the scout to sneak into the base.

Go up to a relay bunker then jump out and plan the bomb inside the bunker, then jump into your scout again. This will lock up the gun towers for 30 secs and sometimes the turrets. Attack all the turrets in the path of the recy (But remember you have 30 secs before the gun towers will attack you again) and once the turrets are all gone, blow up the power. Remember that the constructor will not build power until the player has his recy near his base point.

Or you can plant the bombs inside the relay bunker and take out a powergen (Not the one marked.) and take out the bases power. It will be defenceless until your recy is near the base point. But you will have to take out the turrets the old fashion way too.


When your recy gets to the top of the map a drop ship will appear and drop off 4 scouts, just take them out before they are ordered to your recy. Keep em busy on you.

Will I gave you all some big loop holes in this... Be good.

[Commando]

I tried it on pb4 which may have been my problem.  The main part that annoyed me was the drop ship that dropped off 4 scouts.  The scouts literally just clipped through it so I couldn't shoot them until it was too late.

[Warfreak]

Not that i know of, however maps from 1.2 can be opened with 1.3 to a degree.

[GreenHeart]

The formating has changed in 1.3, so i don't suggest opening any 1.3 maps in 1.2 since 1.2 isn't designed to handle the bug fixes that took place in 1.3.

[Commando]

I thought someone converted a few of GreenHeart's 1.3 maps into 1.2 format a long time ago.  Not sure how the person did it, but it seems possible.

The person probably had to load up the trn, then from there, repopulate the map manually.
