In each map, there is a set of 16 "ID's" that can be used to change the map layout each time you start it. When the map starts, the server will automatically pick a random number (between 1 and 16) and only initialise entities with that id (or ones with an id of zero, which always spawn). This allows you to do things like semi-randomise weapon and enemy layouts, or make obstacles so the route you have to take through the map is different each time. Trigger id's are a way of mixing up the gameplay in your map, but so far nobody has really used it (the idea was original created for campaign, so the levels would have a certain level of re-playability).

Awesome, i just set them all to 0 and it works now lol.
Thanks for clearing that up

Not sure why i didn't try that beforehand.

I needed to learn node.js and client-side templates, and so one of the things I did was to build this RE game monitor:

http://redflare.ofthings.net/

I'm aware that this isn't the only monitor in existence, but hey, it was fun to build ...
The console updates every 15 seconds - it may be slow to load the first time you open the page, but after that it just loads a small amount of data (~ 10 KB) for each update.

I find it handy to keep open on a destop to flick over to and see when a good game is happening. I hope you find it useful too.

Tech used:
- node.js network application framework with the 'express' web framework and a geoip add-on modules
- handlebars.js (client-side templating)
- underscore.js
- LESS style sheets
- Google web fonts

Hi. I have been playing around with the actor entity for a while now and can't seen to figure out why the turret (or grunt) doesn't spawn.

I am loading the map in campaign mode, and here is what i set the turrets options to:

At first i thought having multiple actor entities with the same "id" number was the problem, although having changed that it appears to still do nothing. Any ideas? Thanks.

This is the first map I've ever seriously tried to make. Don't flame me if I messed up everything in the map making it somehow unplayable, or broke some taboo regarding forum posting rules, because I still don't know how everything works. I don't know when I'll work on this again, probably not soon so feel free to edit it yourself and repost it here. This, (pauses for dramatic effect) is corruption v0.1.0a, the result of several hour's worth of trial and error.

corruption.zip

No screenshots because it's not finished but the map layout and plan is here anyways.

I want ideas for how I can make this better remember I only have basic mapping experience nothing advanced also I'm not an artist so it's going to be ugly at first.

Tell me things I may have not noticed myself like unintended parkour paths an experienced traceur could exploit to break the map.

The peculiar pattern on the bottom of the map is the result of a glitch, it looks cool, but idk how to replicate the results.

Note: If you download this map be aware of the fact that it is, in it's current state, unplayable in a normal game.

I realise that, although even when i enable onslaught or load the map in campaign mode they never seem to spawn

Code:

sv_modelockfilter 128
sv_mutslockfilter 1


People will have possibility to vote only time-trial, only with multi or without any mutator.
If you want different sets of mutators on different modes, …

Only for me sv_defaultmode doesn't work?
I tried:

Code:

sv_defaultmode 7
sv_defaultmuts 0


To have on default "simple time-trial", without any mutators, and well… server doesn't care.
