NuTT98ArenaMOD development update #6
- Fixed up the lighting in the den a little
- Due to Unter's great suggestion, the skywalk doesnt extrude into the arena now.
- Added a couple of crows

, if you catch one you get a kill bonus. They don't respawn, just 2 per round. I also extended the fake backdrop to make their distance appear natural, works very well.
- Ambient sound effects: Wind and random howling wolves and other unidentified creatures. Sure adds a neat presence to the arena over the old lifeless one. The wind is a constant loop, loud enough to add a nice effect but quiet enough to not get annoying. The wind is a custom sound so it will come with a small +/- 100kB package.
And due to a 5/1 vote, I will start working on newbie traps

. They will be able to play in the arena like before it's just that they will have a hard time getting to the skywalk area. It's reserved for skilled warriors and possibly Shady

Maybe also for the High Caliber fools, have a Dwarf Battlesword placebo that sends you to the gutter if you try to pick it up

And as always I'm looking for suggestions here, especially what to put in the Den, I'm not sure how to decorate that place, maybe some custom meshes if you dudes know of any good ones.

Unter den UebrigenSo you patched the floor successfully?

NuTT98Yep the floor is good now.
Hey what's up with the server? I feel like taking a few heads off.

SHADYsounds large, how big is it?
Wed March 05 2003, 08:36 PM
NuTT98Only 1.3 right now. Not much at all when you consider the older version with only half of this stuff was 1.8
The map itself is 1.15

SHADYdid you "stress test" it yet?
Thu March 06 2003, 01:01 PM
NuTT98Nope. Will when it's finished and everything is working right. I will just assume its working as it should. Maybe we can get a beta host beforehand, but I don't think thats necessary.
There's still a lot I want to do, all the detail work. I have some really sweet ideas, you will love em, but I'll keep em a secret for now hehe.

SHADYwell, you never know.
It might buckle under multiple connections.
