NEW COMPLETE MAP FOR ALL: TRANQUILITY

[TheJamsh]

At Last! This beautiful map from the BZ2CP is now converted into a PB4a Instant Action Map for all to enjoy. MPI and Strat Versions are now included in the download. unzip to root BZ2. please report any problems here.



I hope you all enjoy playing this map. It has been converted from the forgotten enemies campaign and has had a few terrain changes and additions. I have also NOT put stage points on the map (map makers will know what these refer to), this is mainly due to the shape of the map.

Download Tranquility for IA, ST & MPI from MediaFire
Mirror 2 - Filefront


Update1: Fixed pool render issues

Update2: fixed issues noticed by GreenHeart, replaced bridges with indestructible hadean models, fixed missing palm canopies, made bio-metal pool on central island more accessible to AI scavs

Update3: Fixed turret provisions, added ST and MPI maps

Update4: Fixed dumb mistake with MP & ST maps...

I suggest mentioning in the thread title that map is a convert so you don't get grief from ppl who don't read post contents.

GREAT MAP!

Heres a screenie i got




(hint hint)

[GreenHeart]

First of all the two pools used on this map are listing effect errors in the battlezone.log
trpool01 & trpool02 should point to either their own odf or to tepool01.odf which actually has effects in the odf.  None of the other pools in the patch13.pak have effects in their odf except for the tepool01.odf due to inheritance.

Also the ai can't seem to navigate successfully to my base if the player destroys afew bridge segments & i did CRASH after 2-3 assault tanks drove into the water.   why exactly i crashed i dunno,bz2 froze up hard...

[TheJamsh]

see update two GH, should be fixed.

@ cheese you probably didnt install properly, unzip to root BZ2.

[General BlackDragon]

dear god use www.filefront.com

[cheesepuffly]

By the way, i did install it properly, im not stupid.


It is working, i just had bz2 running when i put it in there and did not restart.

WHY DID YOU GIVE THE COMPUTER ASSUALT TOWERS?!

[Avatar]

Lol...

Hey, you got to start in a TANK...  count your blessings. 

When we used to play MPI and I hosted I'd make 'em start on foot and get their OWN darn tanks.

So there...

WHY DID YOU GIVE THE COMPUTER ASSUALT TOWERS?!

Assault Towers are easy to dodge & take out with a simple tank. 

[cheesepuffly]

Woops, i mean i played as isdf and i got Assualt spires, THOSE are very hard, atleast for me.


Yes assualt towers are very easy to dodge, simple left and right movements with fairly good timing does the trick.

[TheJamsh]

Assault towers and spires because it makes it harder. the AI is very stumpy at first because of the map shape and it would be easy to get in there, so i made it harder, like a GH map.

[Dataanti]

I LUV THIS MAP ALL THE TEXTURES AND THE SKY AND THE BRIDGES! but there r some things like the amount of turrets at the start theres so much of them that the AI hav no more slots to build i had to kill the turrets to make them start making units and i got the same freeze in the l8st version, it happend on the first bridge i had 2 titans and i sent the 1 in the back to att 1 of thoes turrets at the end and it started pushing the other titan to get acroos and it frooze and i hav the log if it helps but it looks fine to me

[TheJamsh]

i didnt think that slots mattered to the AI building units? although that may be why progress was so slow...

i think what im going to have to do is either remove the turrets entirely, or make them fit onto team 15 or something so that they attack anything... both the isdf and scions are fighting for control of the map, but one of them (the enemy is better established than you. but Hadean guards lie in wait... could work...

i got a freeze as well. but ive driven over and over the map many times and cant find any problems :S. i see in the log file the computer had to build MSH's, should have included those.

[Dataanti]

r the turrets put in there using path or editor cause if its editor all u hav to do is change the group to 10 for all the turrets

also i had the same freezing problem on 1 of my maps and i think it went away after i re did the path i think i had a path missing or a duplicate or something wasnt named correct

[cheesepuffly]

Ok, i do agree, this is a very unique map. All those turrents makes it fun, and since you have 2 pools right by your base, fighting is not really hard. If you do make a strat version, make sure to have two pools by the other base as well.
