Awesome Idea

on Saturday, August, 22, 2009 2:52 PM

I had an awesome idea yesterday what if we could play single player maps in multiplayer as a team. I made a map with the mo2-2 level map (only one I had access to) and started a server with the first rough copy i sent to my friend, and he was very slow even though he had only 83 ping. My guess was the moving blocks in the main section so I removed them and put in power-ups and lots of permissions in archive bins but he had to go so I did not get a chance to try it.


I want to have the permissions in the archive bins because I want to leave the permission requirements on the elements in the level so it is more like it is in the single player game. I would appreciate input on this idea, and has anyone tried this already?


Edit: Apologies for my younger self being illiterate and over excited about this. But I remember working on building levels fondly, and greatly appreciate all the help that was given me, though I clearly never deserved it. Thinking back on this post has haunted me. So I wanted to edit it. I hope this does not push this back to the top of the forum. If so, sorry again.


P.S. I am sure someone noticed other than me, but it seems we were all hacked to advertise for things after our old messages.

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

Trying to play Single Player maps in Multiplayer is not a new idea. It's been tried before. (I remember CyberBlade coming up with the same idea, for example.) A lot of the stuff in SP maps will work in MP.

But not everything will. If there's too much stuff in a SP map that moves, it will cause severe lag for the players and make the map almost unplayable.

Also, cutscenes in SP maps make for a very bizarre experience in MP.

I wasn't able to play it when you were hosting, but I did download it and tried it out.

The ability to play single player maps on multiplayer sounds like a good idea. The First part of the Primary digitizing level, from the I/O start point to the primary area with all those energy pools comes to mind.

Constructive Criticisms:

- Try to figure out how to give subroutines and the disc primitive to the player at start.
- Scatter the powerups instead of having one spot.

I know its a first try, and a fairly good one, so keep it up.

btw, I just finished my first lightcycle map. How can I get other players to download and try it?abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

i did have disc wen u start did you get the INFO file i dident put them in a zip file guess i should im having problms with my comp creating new zip folders so i have to take an old one and rename it and put the fies i want in there so thats anoying

the reson i put all the power ups in one spot was be couas i was only going to have one rez point so you start at begining but im going to have 2 versions of it soon one with power ups every whare and dif rez points like it is now and one with only the one spot of power ups and muliple rez points in the start room i found out if you are standing in rez point and dont move from it you die wen somone rez it after you
does any one know bout the permisions in a power up instead of a archive bin

i was thinking bout only puting power ups in the area of the archive bins they are in wen u play the game what do you think bout that

ps:did you find the secrets in my map thats y i wanted to play with every one so i can show the one that is totaly awsome but still have some secrets in it for others to find

hint: look up heres another hint for ya bout how to get there [|    |]*_*[    |]
by the way my server is back upon line

Hey Tailmister, I downloaded your LC map, however, I wasn't able to install it. Its not a REZ file my REZHandler can execute. It was merely a DAT file instead. Any clue how to install this by manual means?

Yep.

Just put it your Customs/Worlds/Retaillightcycle folder in your tron directory, or create the folders if you don't have it

Darn, my apologies. I had to leave the room for a while. I successfully installed your map and ran it. I also hosted the map for a few minutes. abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

I believe I've fixed a problem on my map, so redownload from www.filefront/users/tailmister, delete the old one (if you have one), and it should work.

Ok

This is the actual address BTW, for anyone who wants to install this map.

The one above has the letter "s" in the word "user". Make sure its singular.
