Hey Everyone,

For those of you that have seen it "LCC Stronghold" is about to go through a major overhaul. I have been working on it for the past 4 months and it is almost done. The new map "Low Caliber Stronghold" should be ready by the middle of August at the latest.

Here are some of the of the features that are currently in the map:

The map will have three separate subdivisions. One for minors, another for members, and the last is for the officers.

The map will be rak compliant. There will be 2 areas each for headball and one-on-one.

The entire map will be a free for all. The only exception will be the queue for the one-on-one and each players own home. These will remain neutral zones.

I have kept the great hall to show our members pictures to non-members and to honor those members that have left the club, but were an intergral part of building the club.

Every minor, member, and officer will have a home that is built for them. (No You can't design them, you just gotta like what you get). However you can decide what 2 pictures or screen shots you'd like on the walls inside your house. Also your choice as to what 2 weapons you'd like to have in your home.

All players start out in the main areas. Once you plogin using the authentification your next respawn will be in you home. The door to your home can only be opened from inside and only by you. This way only the homes of those people playing will be able to be entered.

I will also intergrate non traditional weapons into the map. Nothing says love like getting hit by a pine tree or a barrel.

Nice man cant wait to play it

Sounds down right awesome fais! I can't wait to play it either. I'll have to get some pics for you.
What size do you want em? Also, I don't know what you are doing, but I think it should be something like minors, 1 story, members 2 story, officers, 3 stroy/walk out basement.
Anyhow good work, this really sounds fun. I think we should put this up (when it is done) instead of skolf. Maybe rotate the two?

whoa

Sounds like a helluva piece of work, Fais. Can't wait to see it, and am hoping to be a beta tester.

Awesome Fais! I can't wait to see it and kill people in it! Whoo!

I want to alpha test it. Please please please please please please please!!!!

Hehe sounds cool! I hope there is still a room free, for my vacation :P

yakem.

The pictures that you decide on for you home should be in 256x256 bitmap format.

Also list which two weapons you'd like in your home to start with when you respawn. That way I can place them in the houses.

Already done that way.

All Minor's have a one story, one room home that is lightly furnished.

Member's have a two story, two room home that will have more furnishings and a better location on the map compared to all the points of interest, i.e. the 2-on-2 arena, inn, bars, boxing stadium and the training hall which will double as a one-on-one arena.

Officer's will have a two story home with four rooms. The interior's will be plush. Also they will be located next to the points of interest.

In addition all the housing area's; Emeritus, Minor, Member, and Officers will have a different exterior look and feel so as to denote the difference in status.

Good point Wint. I'll have to adjust the map for our emeriti. I'll add about six homes for them. Rest assured that your always welcome.

Oh, and Socket, The only basements are in the Great Hall, Inn and bar.

Sounds like an awesome map. Too bad I wasnt a minor

Ok one more thinggy, the weapons, lowcal or is it normal weapons?
If lowcal I want roman and gobo axe if normal I want broadsword and shorty.
Thanks Fais! this is sounding pretty tight.
I'll get my pictures up tonight

Fais, go ahead and post the BarWeaps and Tree packages.

Wow. It sounds amazing. Cant wait to see how it turns out fais.

Yeah, sure hope it turns out as good as I'm thinking!

This is quite an exciting piece of work, Fais.

It's really does take a profound step towards a 'perpetual world' or MMORPG-style interaction in Rune. Something extremely interesting for Low Caliber too; fostering an online "real-estate"! You know, hope it can get tied into site's sidebar somehow to denote online presence.

Beta-test, whatever, hope to see you there...

Remember another game on that engine - Unreal Tournament. There was Assault matches - it will be great to assault castles in Rune I hope someone will make such maps (maybe Humanhead, maybe you )

There already has been made gametypes for RUNE like UT's Assault; like the old "Nordic Storm" and latest "Siege"... but the interest in actually playing them is unfortunately too small.

So Fais, any updates on when that map will be dont?

Oh and when people are inside their house will I be able to knock on peoples door with my weapon and play hookie Haha.

Too bad there wasnt eggs so we could egg peoples houses

I think that even it will be interesting by playing 10 people at the same time

Here`s a nice idea, I think. Make some promotions for good fights (hand cutting, head cutting, killing sprees and something like that). Something like medals and orders that will be showing in your house. And of course - best warriors should be showing on table of glory .

About houses: I think I dont need to keep my door closed. Why? It will be nice if anybody who are talking in his house can be heard only there. There will be some guests for chat. Maybe it is unpossible and interesting only for such chatty dude like me .

And the last thing I wanted to say - if doors in houses will not be closed - it will be funny if some player that isnt playing now (isnt on line), he would lying asleep in his home.

Too many advises for just a peregrine, right? Anyway it sounds realy great. See you on LCA or there
