My Far Cry MP Map

[James]

ok so i'm making a far cry map - heres a render of the island heightmap so far that im working on -

can't see the vegetation or anything yet, but once its deemed screenshot worthy i'll show yas :)

heres a pic of the island from a top view

its getting there, im thinking possibly assault game type.. and lots of vehicles, docks and stuff, and i might put a merc base with some AI in it, guarding the middle point, so not only do players have to fight each other, to cap the middle point, they need to fight mercenaries :D

any suggestions on island heightmaps, foliage i should use, and the layout of the merc base, will be greatly appreciated. :)

Just some wicked gunboats for some boatwars

[James]

that's SOOO happening :)

because i'm going to put some docks and supply areas in certain spots... and the ubiquous "sniper tower" on the center island.. and i've made a small path of doom you have to travel to get up to where the towers gonna be.. hehe


someone suggested to have an AI helicopter flying around harassing the two teams, but i dont know how peoples computers would handle all of it happening, heh

plus some smart ass would just shoot it down

perhaps i might put an osprey in (the huge transport chopper) and have it randomly rappel mercenaries out around the map

so you can NEVER feel safe... :)


EDIT : this aint a small map either, the islands total land is about two square kilometers :D

i wouldn't mind a small map in the dark.......where everyone has to creep around or else BANG BANG BANG!, i like stealthyness

or if not, just alot of foliage so you can hide really well and become sneaky!

[James]

well im trying to figure out how to do night maps properly, and a small map completely contained in jungle would be awesome...
perhaps just have a clearing with ONE point which everyone fights over, or something? :)

even chuck in some buggies, or even better, yes this is what ill do for a small night map!

ill have a narrow stream running through the middle of the jungle, and i'll put a rubber dingy in the stream to be used
that will rock

Dude I want to get into making these maps for FarCry as I reckon if we get some peeps into it and all make some killer maps then we will be sweet for running our own CCGL MAPS FarCry comp.

Any where i can go to find out how to actually use the editor. Coz me being a n00b at this I need as much help as I can get.

ok what i said earlier is soo true...

i'm s-ping this map and starting again, this map is so collossal.. it's too big for multiplayer.

plus, logistically, it's a nightmare.

so i'll be making a new one, but i'll also post work in progress shots.

am definatly a fan of the smaller maps. A good snipe point or 2 would be totally kikass. Snipes are balanced heaps in FC, cos it shows bullet trails and scope shimmer.

Adams map IDEA:
a darkish map, 3 islands in a circle, fairly close, with a big ass hill on each for sniping. [since there are three hills, snipers are weakend heaps]. put a dock on each island on the inside, with boats for boatwars, and put bridges between 2 of the islands, and leave one opening for boats to go in and out of the lil bay thingo. put heaps of flat heavy foliage land, and stuff for dark "BANG BANG" [another gold hatter quote] stuff.

just an idea bro, im keen to see what you come up with.

Oh, and put some viechles on it to drive between the islands...yeah!

on the hatter note, we should have a hatter/maj quote thread...some of those are gold!

a nice small map would be sweet... like mp_surf, but a bit more stuff to play with... :P

[James]

well my map is almost finished except i had to uninstall far cry to free up some space so the map project is suspended until further notice

[fauxpas]

is there online multiplayer farcry yet?

and if so, what is the CDkey verification like?

[muttster]

if it uses the same cd verification as XIII u should have no probs cos i bought it, then lost my cdkey then had to use 1 outta a keygen :P and i can play online.

[James]

if it uses the same cd verification as XIII u should have no probs cos i bought it, then lost my cdkey then had to use 1 outta a keygen :P* and i can play online.

you bought farcry, and used a keygen and could still play online??

[coogle]

Do you reakon you could make a co-op type map?

Ie Sven-coop like

I just like being able to go up with teammates against a decent AI. IE several hundred mercs, and 3 or more teammates.... think the village scene in predator!

[muttster]

no james, i "bought" XIII, cd key outta keygen, and i can play online. Farcry is made by Ubisoft and looks like the cd key verification will be the same. I looked at farcry multiplayer this arvo. U have yo sign up with ubisoft online. same as XIII. I dont know wether i lucked out or there isnt any real key verification. Good luck.
