Map Pack v5.0 Beta Testing

This is a beta testing page for pre-release prep.

This is the official release of the Nuclear Dawn Custom Map Pack Version 5.0. The compressed map pack is 22.5mb, with an extracted size of 109mb. It includes all custom content publically released for Nuclear Dawn and everything needed to play it on your own, or on the Cha0s Customs server (note that files are unlikely to work with other servers due to each server having specific variables it looks for in the maps and will think it is a different version for another server). Content for this version includes:

Abandoned Mine - By Tontow
Apartment V4 - By Snivilous
Destruction Sandbox - By Snivilous
Miscellaneous V2- By WanderingSoul
Outpost V4 - By K4trix
Refinery - By Player 1
Zombie Mod - By Snivilous

The Cha0s Custom server is rotating all maps. IP is 74.91.113.131:27016

Download Here

Simply download the file and extract it, then follow the README.txt in the extracted folder. Enjoy!


Errors:

StringTableError for Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous V2

WTF?

No offense to the map maker but that map looked really odd to me, why is a building made of ice and why are there blue dev textures in a building togheter with a texture wich is usualy used for walkways, or why is there a window floating in the sky o.o

Hats off to people who design. I wish someone could tell me how to start as I have all the programs necessary but I do not have the first clue where to start. Having said that, I have to agree with the above post in that this really is a very unfinished map. It has potential but needs a lot of work. The map does not work and please do not go into the building with the blue walls lol. I about got lost and since the map doesn't work it was a bitch getting out. Also its very small and cramped in there. Looking forward to some type of background as well.

The best map I saw for graphics was Outpost_V4 by far. Great map. Refunery is very good to. I'm sure as time goes and the graphics get sharper it will be even better. I also bet the Apartment map is a blood bath ! Nice job guys

Talk to WanderingSoul about that map. Any errors anyone's found until I release it on the forums and stuff? I still need to remove my old files and test it and see if they all work on the server.

Don't worry, i'm working on the background and trying to add an underground area beneath the walls of ice, like a subway, of course and also ratchet, you can climb up to the window using an invisible ladder, just go to consortium and whenever the lines match up with you and the window, go foward, i like to use this position for the occasional stealth escape, and don't judge, it's my first map, don't expect perfection please and it's supposed to be that way pred, it's a maze, it's supposed to be cramped and hard to get out of, i am currently trying to get the resources to show and to no avail, and also ratchet, ever heard of creativity? i'm trying to get the maze building to where you can walk on the walls, so it looks like you ARE walking on a walkway messing around with gravity of course, and notice the name MISCELLANEOUS, what do you think miscellaneous means, it means "other" or "does not fit in within any catagory." any more questions about it i will be glad to answer

In my post I even said that I didn't ment to offend you, that was just my opinion.

Sniv told me already that it was your first map, I never said anything about perfection but come on, don't expect others to not critic you, even if it is your first map.

"ever head of creativity?", I don't mind these kind of maps but the one wich you made looked to me as if you only just placed some random stuff in it.

Anyway, good luck, next time I won't say anything then, if you need help ask.

I hope that you don't mind but I decompiled your map and I fixed some stuff wich you badly did such as the skybox, now it's properly made and the light has a sky and lighting too also the shadows from the buildings don't appear anymore underground and I fixed the water, I also optimized it a bit. I hope that this helps http://www.mediafire.com/?e8r9zkn8wqcc81k

Yeah I wasn't bashing either, just stating my opinion. I understand it was your first map and I did say it had potential. If you can't take some beta critiquing then don't do it for the public to see. We're just here to tell you what needs to be fixed. Keep on working. Shoot I don't know how to make a wall much less a map lol.

This guy has tutorials on how to make your first map, I hope that it helps

Just to learn the basics and maybe some small advanced stuff.

The link Ratchet posted is what I started with. Apartments was made entirely with basic blocks and lighting, and personally is one of the most fun maps I've ever played. The basics can take you a long way and have a really nice, easy, fun end result.

Sounds good. I'm on it!

Ok so, hopefully 5.0 will get released this weekend (assuming that actually happens )

Beta Fixes (list if there are any you found or I'm missing):

-Remove Miscellaneousv2 due to it being in too early of alpha stages
-Update Zombie map (I am adding a new room, if you want a plaque, or something custom, you have a few hours before I compile for me to add something for you )
-Add resource points and bases to mountains and add to map pack (?) (more of a FlyingHigh and I specific task depending on the mood)

Sweet! Can't wait to see it.

I want some spray paint on the wall saying "Sniv's Mom was here" and on the wall beside it, "So were Jailhouse, Roflcopter, QQ, LightWolf, Nerkle, ScardyBob, Tallahassee, W@M, Witchcraft, [$$$]Frost, and Cryms..... with her."

Yea ok

You left me out Jailhouse :O

That's what I was thinking lol

I figured Jailhouse knows that you like dudes and not chicks

Just saying.... you did ask for suggestions ....

It's already incorporated bro

Probably put off for next weekend. We moved main server to linux, but I can't work in that, so viperblades is making a GUI, so no custom server until that is up and I can readd and redistribute the files.
