Reche/espace Is Dead, Long Live Unnamed!

The_Real_Quasar

<div class="IPBDescription">Here we go...</div> I just lost all enthusiasm for reche. That, and a leak has been tormenting me. So i started anew, and this time i'm making all rooms separate .rmfs, which i was too stupid to do last time. This map is basically set in a weapons research facility on a planet. Somewhere.
What i need to know is, is there some way to put weapons, JP, HA etc in a map? Only i want to have a weldable area that the marines must fight for, and when they weld it open they get a gift of weapons and stuff. Is this possible? Could it be in a future version?

Stay tuned for screens, folks

Someone just asked this question yesterday, and the general concensus was...no.

Not possible with the entities that 1.0 gave us.
If the map has been cahceled, can you release it opensource?

BlackPanther

It's a good idea that the weapons can't be placed in the map itself... cuz then noob mappers would be swarming us with maps like fy_iceworld.

The_Real_Quasar

I would release the source, but i am intent on re-using a few areas. I may remove these areas and release it later. I made a lot of mistakes early on in the map development, and there are many errors because of that.

I am rather new to mapping myself, and I just finished my first NS map, ns_genesis. Its a research facility that uses a reactor to make evolution speed up. Unforunately, the got hold of some kharaa DNA in that last batch.

I will post some screens of it later today, but tell me a quick thing, why have each room a seperate .rmf?
Wouldn't that make it hard as hell to put the map together.

The_Real_Quasar

It's easier. Firstly if you just wanna test one thing you dont wanna compile the whole map, and second if you make a major layout rehaul then you have to scrap and remake most of what you have...
This way is simpler IMO

I'm sure it's possible by simply changing the FDG. Waldo released an updated DoD FDG a while ago that added weapon entitys. These did not require adding any code to the game, so I'm sure it could be done with NS too.

This is a quote from the ns.fgd. It has entries for the marine weapons and buildings, but they are commented out. I assume that this was done for a reason. I'm guessing that the code wasn't ready to handle these items being put in the map.
