Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for providing such a great server and community, which inspired me to release this map :cheers:

The map is a heavily modified version of CTF-Orbital2. It's been halved and made into a proper invasion map (i.e. saf-ish spots, adrenaline, teleporters etc.) There's also a ripper, portal gun, nuke layer, adren room, and a hidden triple pickup (check the map description :P). Here are some screens:
Image Image Image The anti-portals and path nodes probably need looking at, but not much else.


The cut-down version needs no extra files but you'll miss out on a few small things. Download Here

For the full version you'll need all the ripper files, the portal gun, and for UT2004RPG and DruidsRPG to be running. Download
Here

Enjoy!

Thanks :)

Unexpectedly, i won't be able to use my computer for a number of days (starting in an hour), so it's probably easier if i wait until then (in case something goes wrong). Bad timing, really. :error:

Map's up! :cheers: (Thanks Wraith)

Just played it. Overall it went well, though I know there are a few things that need tweaking (e.g. the bugged adren room). Working on it now. Unfortunately we lost on wave 13, but I wasn't there to see how (UT crashed, but not because of my map...!) Hope you enjoy it anyway

Edit: Oh, and explore! There are more hiding spots than you think!

Yo Shards! I love that adren room idea, but you gotta have that mwm spawn slower so all the wms wait in line lol.

May I have permission to steal your idea on that adren room? I won't place a mwm there, but I love the idea of closing off important rooms instead of opening rooms after the waves pass by :D

I had also thought this idea through, reminds me of a old map on UI which unlocked weapons as the waves went by, GJ

OH and i was wondering, with all the new mappers appearing in the DW community maybe we should try a Quilt map, which is.. each mapper submits a room, 500height 1000x1000 and join them all together, mappers i kno of on DW are..

Me
Boss
Reload
Shards

These are the ones i kno who release maps specifically for the DW server..

If you guys wanna take part then lemme know, if not then so be it :D

Just a idea for us all to get our work into 1 map,

Make the submission date 05 october, which gives one month

And submit the maps via pm with a link to me and ill connect then send around for you guys to tell what you think and once we all believe its up to scratch we can submit??

Just ideas spitballing here :D

Have seen this idea work on other servers and the result outstanding.

Hehe. 3/4 may be great, but, though it may not show in Orbital, i'm still pretty new to mapping. Since school started again i'm very short of time atm as well - still working on the very minor modifications on Orb. Btw could we see an example of this type of mapping? :P

Oh, and i think i'll remove the mwm for v2 (sorry if you liked it!). Half the players ended up crowding the adren room when i played it. Then, when it shut, i left a portal on the back wall and everyone went through the other one, into a solid block! (But don't try it yourselves!) And you can steal my idea Boss, as long as you acknowledge it with a huuuuuge sign with my sig on :cheers: . No, feel free to use it :D
