Ready Room

Recoup · June 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">How?</div> How do I create a ready room? I know that its the basics of creating 32 spawn locations 128 units apart, but, how do I get the peeps to JOIN the map from the ready room? Im confused...

There are brush-based entities that will cause a player to join a team when they walk through them these are:

Info_Join_Team (For Marines and Aliens. Set it to Team One or Two)
Info_Join_AutoAssign (For Random Team)
Info_Spectate (For Observe Match)

Just cover each join portal with one of these.

there are a million tutorials on this, go find some, it's NOT hard.

... if only people googled things first <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

"Additional RR features including:
An Info_Spectate brush entity to join the spectators.
An Info_Gameplay point entity to tell NS what species team one and two are.
An Info_Team_AutoAssign brush entity to act as a random team join.
32 player starts at least 128 units apart to prevent telefragging.
Team entrances that are wide enough for 2 or more players to pass side by side. "
-from ChromeAngel's NS mapping guide

if you still need to know how to create each brush just ask.

and on the actual signs for team joins:
"The marine and alien team joins are each made of 2 brush entites, an info_team_join (actually makes the player join the team) and a func_illusionary (for the sign itself). The func_illusionary is textured with null on all but 1 side the remaining side is textured with the appropriate sign from the NS.WAD. The func_illsionary has it's RenderFX set to distort, RenderMode additive, RenderAmount 255. it doesn't matter how you texture the info_team_join it is invisble in-game."

hope that helped more than my earlier comment <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' />

lol <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> fiine, but only if he understands it now, if he still doesn't... no promises. i know brush entities are hard to figure outat first, but he didn't even READ my post or he woulda understood. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> "create a box" is pretty hard to misunderstand. (ok ok i'm done)

and i'm not flaming recoup, didn't mean to on my first reply, bad day i guess <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

jamespsx · June 2004

(btw, i cleary stated 'im new to the whole mapping thing' so dont get angry... hell if ur the only help and u moan everytime i will ask my m8 in sweden... hell his done some cool stuff over da yr's on other games <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Dark, I DID read your post, and I understand it already. I said that in the last 2 posts I had up. When I said "I understood most of it" I meant I already understood most of the ready room concepts and basics, and just needed that info.

DarkSeraph · June 2004

recoup, the first part of that last post was not to you, it was to james <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> calm down. and i understood all you needed to know is about brush based entities: join_team etc.

i barely learned the editor a couple years ago when i played CS, been mapping for 2 weeks atm. most if it isn't very hard, but there are some confusing things. and since i asked for help, i'm trying to help others.

and sorry about your comp james, i know what you feel, have some stupid adware on my comp that i can't get off, and i REALLY don't want to reformat. again, sorry for my short temper <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

Nvm.

Soul_Rider · June 2004

Here's a real N00b question. I have nearly finished building my first map, it's gonna be a co map, as they seem simpler than ns maps. My question arises from the fact that i have managed to build 90% of the map, and am texturing it roughly at the moment in prep for selecting proper textures, but i'm close to building the ready room. I know about the specs for the ready room, I know about building point entites to enter the map, the question is -

Do i build the ready room -
1 - attached to the map?
2 - seperate from the map but in the same file?
3 - in a completely different file?

Like i said, total noob question but one i need an answer to!!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

since its CO, you dont have to worry about it showing on the minimap, so just put it anywhere that doesnt interfere with your map

Thanks for the help NEO_Phyte <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />
