hey guys,
yeah, I know I wrote that the third version of the funhouse would be the last version, but that was obviously a lie, because you know I can´t let it be, shame on me. but the map' s really worth it. so here is the thing and some of you already knew: I´m currently working on the next version of the funhouse. and I think it will be just great. better lightning and atmosphere, better architecture, better map flow. I shortened most areas again, changed some room positions and I will try to use as many hi-res textures as possible. and let me tell you, the map's already an eyecatcher. in the end I want to have a mixture of the movie, the funhouse map from game rogue agent and my ideas. and of course I hope you´ll like it, too.
but enough stupid talk, here are the pictures. some of them are early WIP, but you get the idea. and I hope you´ll see the difference.

new and short area behind the toilets. now the tower' s position is in the movie studio.

new title work and architecture for the cinema. and now the ticket lodge is a part of the wall.
(http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/6h3y4t6s5i7.jpg)
this is the future movie studio. here you´ll find many WIP backdrops...and the tower which is now part of the movie settings and the entrance to this place.

new room for scaramanga, the god of heaven and hell, filled with tons of seductive coins (you can see below). but still WIP. the invisible bridge is gone. (also deleted: the cemetery, the guillotine and the female scientist's prison in the cinema area)

and just one more thing: I want to give you the chance to work with me. so tell me your thoughts, your ideas, your criticism, your banking informations ;P. maybe somebody is also great at modeling and want to model the papercuts? (cowboy, mob, cadillac) or you have great (and free) music (maybe in the style of the 70s) which would fit perfectly? tell me, discuss with me, and again, give me your goddamn banking informations!
and don't worry, this time the map's name will be cy_funhouse_v4
grrrrrrreetings
-
this looks really sexy thanks Cy
if you ever need someone to test it- im up for it :D
btw i sent you an email
-
thank you! but as I already said, I need unofficial music.
-
Looks good Cy, I was never a big fan of the invisible bridge and the new wooden one looks much better now. Keep up the good work!
-
Yeah man, bring on the lighting, looks great.
-
Will you be modifying the spawn locations? I notice when I play the current version that the movie theater and bathrooms are hardly used for battle, because people don't spawn there often enough.
-
Cool, I am glad you started to work on it again. I really did think you were finished.
-

ok, I'll think about that. I like these fights in the cinema! two days ago one lucky bastard was standing on the terrace and killed me and another guy with one magnum bullet. pure movie magic! ;-)
Cool, I am glad you started to work on it again. I really did think you were finished.
thanks troy, my thoughts exactly. maybe then the map will finally be available on the [1138] and the Wnx server. I know that only the maps with the best quality can make it there ... ::)
-
To be honest Cy, I find this a little weird:

you see me? what the hell, I´m totally nacked right now! rrrahhhhhh!!
but of course you´re right with the sign. maybe I should write: "Never ever played, you idiots, mahaha!" :D

"Now screaming: James Bond"
Muhahahaha

so...any updates?

so...any updates?
quite a bit early but yes,
1. I reduced the height of the cowboy- mobster area & hall of mirrors and connected them again. they don´t look so huge anymore, more like in the rogue agent game.
2. new pictures of the james bond island in the cinema.
3. added a huge statue to the movie studio section, so that the players can jump off the tower without loosing health.
4. added some eyelats to the tower
5. reduced the height of the golden doors
6. changed/added some spawn locations
7. tried to make the training room completely turn red after a button switch, but it didn´t work out well.
8. changed the name of the map to ge_funhouse_v4
also thinking of papercut models for the cowboy, the cadillac, the mobsters, (like the alizee-papercut some time ago). maybe the mirrors from the hall of mirrors should be models, too. their bad reclections always annoy me. maybe someone could help me with that? would be truly awesome
-
i actually like the papercut models..there is something awesome about them especially when you go into No Clip mode and go behind them and they still look at you...its creepy but cool
what is the james bond island?
dont reduce the height too much though as some players tend to get clastraphobic :P

1. I DO want the papercuts, but real prop_physik papercuts, not these damn alphachannel-tga-files. I want the papercuts to move a little bit when you shoot them, bouncing forward and backwards, like cowboy bashe's girlfriend you see here:
(http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/1fhd2km6pb3.jpg)
(http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/2anu1vic5ds.jpg)
2. the james bond island is the scaramanga beach.
3. they won´t get claustrophobic, feels better now:
(http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/3e5zbpmthq0.jpg)
4. here's the mobster area from rogue agent:

Hey I really like oyur funhouse. I'm happy that someone finally made it. As someone pointed out before, it would be awesome to be able to go outside, on the island. But that would be a huge thing to do. For the song, I think you should use a smooth instrumental version of the main song from the movie. Or just ask someone to make a cover of it. Anyway, your map is awesome!

actually version 1 you could go onto the island and hang out in Scarmanagas dining room...he is going to make a part 2 of Scarmangas Island....

Yeah I just saw the first screenshots on the level. Looks awesome despite it being in the early stages.
Cy, I really hope you do bring back the island and the dinning room. I would even suggest to keep only the best rooms from the funhouse so that including the beach and the dinning room wouldn't make it too big of a map. But if you do make a part 2 of just the island, I would suggest that you add the wrecked plane(how bond originaly reached the island), the laboratory kind of room(where the bond girl and the black engineer were during the gunfight), the room with the big lazer thing and even the solar panel on the top of the rock. Just some suggestions. Anyway I love your work and I'm eager to see the future versions.

I don´t know if I´m gonna finalize the second part. I concentrate on perfecting the funhouse and then I will see what to do. I have scaramanga's beach (dining room/backroom/training room/part of the beach with plane) right here, maybe someone else would like to finish it. I finish up my art studies soon, so there isn´t time for big things at the moment.
-

I would be happy to finish it after I'm done with MI6. Anyway I was planning on creating more "classic"(not n64 classic but classic as old movies maps) maps like Fort Knox, Blofeld's Volcano Lair, etc.. So Scaramanga's Island would be perfect for me. Although I'm really just a beginner in mapping, I might need some help.

hows the progress going?
i was thinking why not have screams come from the bottom of the woodern bridge?
will the deathtraps be modified?

progress is everything. I fly through the walls of my map and I try to give every single room a different feeling/mood. and I´m searching for the best hi-res textures I could find. light yellow wood planks, dark brown bricks. textures with rich colours; colours which transport a special technicolor-60s/70s feeling and make this funhouse, that was built with typical spy-fi cardboards, believable. it has to look cheap and it has to look good at the same time. like a "avengers"-episode.
and I don´t know which elements will be there at the end. I´m thinking about deleting the walk of fame, because it has nothing to do with scaramanga`s funhouse, it´s just a homage to the developers. I´m thinking about deleting my friends & myself, because we don´t fit in this mobster-place. scaramanga would hate us. and I´m also thinking about adding a labyrinth to the bottom of the pyramid room. the player would fall of the wooden bridge and maybe he would have the chance to come back again, searching for a way out of the labyrinth. I´m also very interested in adding some optical illusions. playing a map is like being a part of a movie. its all about entertaining the mind/ the heart through perception.
so I´m browsing for picture puzzles, optical things which give me headaches like these examples:

and here are new pictures of the funhouse v4:
more compact now: the cowboy area
(http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/1f8b7gpce4l.jpg)
sitcom area, still very WIP.
(http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/2yo4vbig0fj.jpg)
slim-fast: new funhouse sign, walls and colours.
(http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/32rtckgp1ve.jpg)
purple rose of spyro
(http://img4.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/4n0376usgbv.jpg)
new WIP area next to the control room: scaramanga's final resting place (with coffin and picture). I like the idea that scaramanga is dead while his house is still living on.
(http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/55p2ekfg3n0.jpg)
I deleted the small vents. I want freedom like william wallace
(http://img4.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/66uf1jmd8aq.jpg)
I´m very proud of this new hi-res brick texture. this is the cheap cardboard style I strive for.

This is looking really sweet Cy. There is a lot more atmosphere in this version compared to the previous one. Keep up the good work!
-

aww thats a shame as i like both of those- maybe you can turn the walk of fame into a deathtrap- with a flick of a switch in the control room one of the pictures will fall down and spawn a grenade damaging or killing any unfourtunate players...
i think it looks good with you and your friends in it- it gives it more depth to the map plus it will look odd if there is isnt anyone in that area
-
but yeah the map looks awesome the images look very promising...
the 3rd optical image does give me a bit of a sore head...
-
2nd illusion image is my favorite
-
Well done Cy, its looking good. Can't wait to play it :).
-
One hell of a change! That looks very promising, Great work!
-
any new updates Cy?
-
yeah,
1. I continued working on some aesthetic issues, such as the training room. the shooting range is not a plain texture anymore, I changed the position of the gun locker and added hi-res carpet and wood textures:
(http://img4.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40jaskx354c2.jpg)
2. I deleted the whole area with the walk of fame and the pictures of the villains. so when you walk through the front door, you´re already entering the cinema lobby.
(http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40lwva0zrtc4.jpg)
3. I added a new area below the wood bridge. if you survive the downfall there are 4 doors at the bottom waiting. 3 of them lead to death, 1 brings you back on the top. here´s a first draft:
(http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40w16uvz2aoy.jpg)
-
That looks awesome, especially the room under the wood bridge.
-
The four doors is an amazing idea.
-

Shame, I liked that hallway. I'm loving the 4 doors at the bottom of the pit though but is falling down the pit not an instant kill? How are you supposed to get down there without no-clipping?

He probably removed the trigger from there, So you won't get killed anymore.

Ah right, I see
-
i kinda miss the old cinema :-( though i do like the downfall area -i had a similar idea for a horrorland map with 4 doors that lead to another place. and well this looks really awesome
-
hey guys, its saturday evening, time for an an overall impression of new ge_funhouse_v4. as you can see, progress is going on very well. :)

Pretty illusions!
Nice work pal, As always.
-
Those screens look great, mate, though I think the red texture on the toilet area needs something else to make it stand out. A better normal map (or a normal map, dunno if Source displays textures without normal maps).

you mean a specular map, right? thats one thing I have to learn in the next time, thats for sure. I have 2 or 3 textures which need some reflections, and the red one should be one of them. the red room has be perfect.

lol, that'd be great wouldn't it?
-

Well, now that I see the pic you posted, a specular map would help too. I didn't know that was your intention so I suggested a normal map first, to give it some texture (but not too much) but the specular map is the priority in there, it seems. One would really change the whole room for (much) better.

new pictures blah blah blah! ...awesome...yada yada yada!

coulerful cave. you already know it, but its so beautiful that I wanted to post it again:
(http://img4.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40y7sgfaeczr.jpg)
I turned the woman toilet upside down. seems fair to me, because sometimes my girlfriend drives me crazy
(http://img4.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40l8md1xriku.jpg)
map progress is 85 % done now I think. I decided to delete the whole tower, because this map doesn´t need an higher plane, there´s entertainment enough. shortened the hall of mirrors again, now its perfect. shortened the cowboy and the mobster place again. I don´t want the player to walk endless paths anymore. everything will be more compact now.
-
Not so sure about the upside bathroom. Maybe you need a room that has more objects in it, so when you walk in, the upside down effect is more apparent.
-
I'm really liking the references in this map, nice HAL in picture #1. The upside down bathroom gives me a headache though.
And is picture #3 broken? Not showing up on my end.
-
is the photo of Scaramanga a new playable charater?
and Will i have to pee up in The Bathroom?
-
Why did you feel the need to quote his entire post only to dribble out a piss amount of text?
-

1. no, its just a nice picture, not from the real actor, but from a sculpture.
2. its a toilet for women, so you aren´t allowed to pee there anyway!
@emilia: good point. there are objects in it (toilets, sinks, pictures, mirrors), but not so many. though when you´re walking around, its enough to give you a pain in the head. I don´t want the player to vomit into the trash basket, so it has to be a single small room. either the ladies room or the storeroom behind the cinema bar. I´ll see what I can do.
@proxie: HAL is always watching us. he wants the player out of the map, so that his journey to jupiter and his important mission won´t fail
-
Why did you feel the need to quote his entire post only to dribble out a piss amount of text?
there sorted!
-
the map looks really promising- though i hope its not too small
-
Can't wait to test this Cy ;)
-
I like the upside down bathroom. You should get someone sitting on a toilet, pants down. It'd be awesome. Good job.
-
I´m still searching for good (and free) music for the map. so, if you know something that could be compatible with the funhouse mood, please post it here.
-
You were talking about using my piano bond theme improvisation, you can use it if u want.
-

I said the music comes close to what I want. and I think it was you who wrote me a message some time ago about doing the music for the map. if you wanna try out things with the piano feel free to proceed. can you play the man with the golden gun-theme? and can you play it with some madness?
-
If anything, there should be a custom man with the golden gun theme. It would fit the map perfectly.
-
The map is getting better each update. Looking forward to play it.
-
thanks a lot! mapping is such a relaxing thing. sometimes it drives me crazy, but since I´m already crazy, its ok.

you should meet me at the bar. then we talk about the good old times. c´mon, have another drink with me. it pours and it tastes like honey. they don´t make things like that anymore.

the journey has come to and end, the music is dead again. the blue eyes are facing the blue lights. what a wonderful time, haha.

Wow... All I can say. Damn.

Not sure what's better, the narration, or the screenshots.

and then he said: "mirror mirror, on the wall. show me where their bombs will fall."
Un! Deux! Trois! Dis Miroir Noir!
...Black Mirror!
Sorry. Love that song, lol. The map's looking great Cy, I always look forward to your updates on it. You're really doing some trojan work on it.
Not sure what's better, the narration, or the screenshots.
This. I love the narration, it really adds to the atmosphere of the map
-
What can I say, marvelous map. I reckon it should be included in the next release (Which I hope is soon, before the end of the world). :)
-
Cool, I hope to try your new version soon.
-
thanks for the kind words. I don´t know if its ready till 4.2 release, because there will be a long testing period this time, but maybe the funhouse can spice up a bit the waiting time between 4.2 and 4.3 ;-)
additional notes: this version´s name will definetely be ge_funhouse v4. the musical side should offer something special. I plan to present you different variations for different areas of the map, just like in the movie. as far as I know terps4life90 already works on a piano version of the main theme"the man with the golden gun" which I would like to use for the saloon part for a start.
here´s a version I found on youtube. not the best record quality, but still passionate played: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULPrcGtPfnw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULPrcGtPfnw)
you should scroll up and look at the saloon pictures while listening to the music - very nice :-)

dude this is awesome :D

hey guys, map progress is 90% done I think. should be ready for testing in 2 or 3 weeks. here are some new screens including new retro pictures. tell me what you think about them.

new sliding door leads to the surviellance room. the ventilation shaft has been deleted, cause it slowed down the flow.
(http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/7vc9tin0ze3.jpg)
there is only one short ventilation shaft left and this is the one.

this dark room with the wooden bridge is still WIP. I´m not so sure about this one, but at the moment I can´t think of a better solution. the picture with the lights is an illusion, below there is the area with the 4 doors, where 3 doors leads to death and one door teleports you up again to the place you see on the left side of the picture.
(http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/11zhcxu0ket5.jpg)
I still need the "man with the golden gun"-theme for the map, played on the piano.
-
Sexy, As always.
-
Very, very good, that looks. I think that having three traps may be a bit overkill. One that actually kills you (immediately or if you don't think fast - activate a mechanism to get out of it) and other two that just damage you would be better, I think, along with the escape door.
-
The First Image looks really good i love the attention to detail and the ground looks good
The Quote in the second image- Winning isnt Everything makes me laugh and it suits the map
The Third image looks great with the area- it would be cool to hear some sort of street noises- like a police car in the background...just to add to the atomsphere....
The Fourth Image with the tv set is good- i love the image of scaramanga and it would help players who want to try and make a sitcom machinima on the map.
the fifth image of the bonds is good- maybe have it with just Connery, Moore, Dalton and Brosnan...y'know like a tribute to the all bonds myth on the original n64 (alright secretly im not a fan of Craig or Lazenby) but its alright actually...is it going to replace the movie posters from the previous versions?
the sixth image...i agree we do need another shooting range- i wonder if there is a way that players could press a button and the cardboard cutouts pop up...could also aid players in causing a distraction...especially on gamemodes like Live and Let Die or LTK
the eigith image- the sliding door looks alright but im still a fan of the vents..i guess the sliding door would make things go smoother during ingame though the top window feels unnesseary.
the ninth image and last vent on the map looks good- i love the Aztec level feel-probarly due to the computer screens.
the eleventh image looks good- i love the new layout of the womens bathroom but the image of the woman pointing just doesnt suit it...besides the woman pointing slightly reminds me of Nicholas Cage's Y'dont say face.
the twelvth image of the womens bathroom is agian looks good- a real good 60's retro feeling
the last image of the Work in Progress with the dark woodern bridge visually looks amazing but realistically it doesnt suit it...what if you tried to use the invisible bridge version from early versions if not what about the older version of the bridge with the gold coins?
all in all the map looks wonderful Great Job CY :D
-
thanks for your replies.
PPK: I think that having three traps may be a bit overkill. One that actually kills you (immediately or if you don't think fast - activate a mechanism to get out of it) and other two that just damage you would be better, I think, along with the escape door.
my original intention behind the doors lies in the fact, that the player should normally be dead after he has fallen off the bridge. but if he survives the damage he has one little chance left to rescue himself, so he has to choose his path wisely, otherwise he´s doomed. but it´s not a bad idea that one door should only cause damage. I will try some variations in the future test.
Rick Astley: The Third image looks great with the area- it would be cool to hear some sort of street noises- like a police car in the background...just to add to the atomsphere....
for this area I would prefer a jazzy version of the "man with the golden gun" theme, just like in the movie. but I don´t know if this ever happens.
the sixth image...i agree we do need another shooting range- i wonder if there is a way that players could press a button and the cardboard cutouts pop up...could also aid players in causing a distraction...especially on gamemodes like Live and Let Die or LTK
I could easily do that, good idea.
the eleventh image looks good- i love the new layout of the womens bathroom but the image of the woman pointing just doesnt suit it...besides the woman pointing slightly reminds me of Nicholas Cage's Y'dont say face.
haha, never thought about that nicolas cage thing. but I LOVE this picture of the retro 50`s lady, pointing to the women´s toilet and telling the female players where to go. she looks so funny, innocent, pure and stupid. next to this woman there will also be a business man pointing in the other direction. :-)
the last image of the Work in Progress with the dark woodern bridge visually looks amazing but realistically it doesnt suit it...what if you tried to use the invisible bridge version from early versions if not what about the older version of the bridge with the gold coins?
no, I don´t want to go back to the invisible bridge, because this map has to be fantastical, but also realistic. so the wooden bridge is a good solution I suppose. the invisible bridge wasfunny (and unique), but also a bit exaggerated. the bridge is not the problem. I don´t know exactly what to do with the walls of this room. I thought about a giant golden gun, a giant scaramanga face, a giant pyramide, a sea of coins, a sea of blood. nothing seems to fit.

hmmm here is another idea what about a glass bridge- like remember the community map: glass version of Cradle so i was thinking why not have that suspened above either:
A Swirling Vortex of DOOM!!!!...well players materalise in the room which there is only 1 deathtrap
A Lake of fog of DEATH!!!...well players appear in the room
A Image of A Scary (Eg: Clown, Scaramanga, Michael Rosenberg, skelton) with its both open so players fall into its mouth and appear in the room.
well its an idea after all?
-
the walls i have a couple of ideas:
How about as a refrence to the shinning or the simpsons tree house of horror episode- have blood smeared messages of (eg: GET OUT!!! KILL!!!!) and appearence of Hands and well other words...hehe maybe you could have Noodles Love Deborah written on the wall...
Another idea is using concept art from the goldeneye source team and place them on the wall
another idea is having images of Eyes looking at players...see L4d2's Haunted Manshion campagin
maybe redwood gothic feel?
-
I don't really have any suggestions on how to improve the map further but I just want to say that it's looking fantastic Cy. Well done with it!
-
@Rick Astley: I remember that treehouse of horror episode (and of course noodles and deborah), but I think a wall full of scary phrases wouldn´t fit with the atmosphere of the map. I don´t want it to be a horror setting, it´s more about illusion combined with this retro feeling. your fog idea sounds better, though I want the people to see the pit under the bridge and not a wall of fog. I could also delete the wooden bridge and create a room full of fog...mhhh..fog is also a thing I haven´t tried out much, so I still have to learn to control it. maybe a little labyrinth combined with the fog? hmmmmmmmm
-
Fog might kill frame rate for those with a crap CPU.

hmm another idea i had remember playing Spider-man 2 on Xbox/Ps2? there was a level in it where you are in Mysterios Funhouse of Doom and everything was turned upside down...what if you had upside down paintings or mirrors something odd idk just trying to help
the fog idea could work but i like the bridge what if you had the fog underneath the bridge?
the labyrithe idea might be good but you already have the bit with the mirrors in the dark and such....
-

i´ve already turned the storage room behind the cinema bar upside down, so I don´t want to have another one. I´ll try some things out soon. and after a first test with some people I will surely be wiser.
-
Hey Cy, the map is looking great! If you need any testers I am available.
-
another suggestion is that maybe you make the wall of the pit area- the wall of fame in which we can have Cartictures of all the goldeneye source teams in DK Mode...ok maybe not
i would love to test your map Cy if you ever need any testers :)
-

ah no, maybe not ;) wouldn´t fit with the tone of the map. the testing sessions start soon (need the music before), but I would like to have some beta testers in it at first. for the second test elected players can join the test as well I think.
-
Hey Cy, I would like to help tester. Even though I am not a beta tester, I know what to look for. The map looks really good.
-
He needs you to make the map's music Roger.

It is almost ready Troy :). I made 2 versions of it. One is upbeat w/full orchestrations and the all is a funky piano styled theme.

Sounds good Roger. I'd say it would really complement the look and feel of the map
-
hey guys, new perspectives of the funhouse. I´m currently polishing things and I hope to add nodegraphs for the bots and of course some music soon (how´s the progress going on, roger?). the first draft of map has also been tested by a few beta testers and the progress is going on very well. here are the screens:

I´m also curious what you think of the "puppets" like valentin (watching the movie screen), boris (sitting on the toilet) or alec (sitting in the ticket booth). sometimes people don´t understand what they´re doing in the map, especially when they´re shooting at them and see the "puppet's" blood.
I´m also thinking about the reasons why the former versions of the funhouse haven´t been played as much as I intended and had a discussion with E-S about that topic. he told me that the map´s still confusing and it´s design would scare off new players. but I tell you: the collocation of the single rooms hasn´t really changed since version 2 and I shortened or deleted long areas and made the connections between the settings more obvious. the map´s still bigger than the original map from rogue agent, but that´s because of the 16 players, which should play it without getting claustrophobic. the player has the chance to explore my map, its full of details and references. if that scares off new players and if they don´t wanna try new things out- ok, then I can´t help them. the map and the design are different, but that doesn´t mean that the map´s bad. since 3 years I work on this map, its neither an uninspired quick shot nor a hangout beta. my heart and my soul are rooted in this map - for me it´s a serious map which is just fun to play on. and I hope the other players will get the same feeling.
-
It's a fantastic map that keeps getting better, you should be proud.
-
its neither an uninspired quick shot nor a hangout beta
Oh no you didn't.
Regarding the map: the screens look great. I really haven't had a chance of truly playing the map (v3 that is), with the exception of an odd couple of rounds quite some time ago and I don't remember on which server it was, but it was fun. it was confusing at first but casino was confusing at first for me as well and now I love that map to death. I can't wait to try this one out since its style is completely different from all the other maps. Two questions though: does it have 3 (or more) armour spawns? And no long corridors?
I really didn't mind the puppets. I may have shot one the first time but after that, it became a fun feature. If you could pose them more naturally, it would help: like Valentin lounging on the chair, or pose Boris so it looks like he is pushing hard.
-
Thanks for the update Cy, the map is looking great as usual!
-
This is amazing, We can definitely see you have brushed up your Hammer skills a whole lot through the making of Funhouse, You should be proud!
*Raises hat*
-
In the black corridor with the bright doorframes: the doorframes shouldn't be straight, rather have them stretched crazy like in some weird dream.
-
Looking good man, sorry it's taking me so long to get the theme done. It will be ready soon.
-
I hope so Roger. This is your chance to get your music incorporated into a map.
-
The orchestrated version is ready. I will post it in my thread because I don't want to mess up Cy's thread :). I think this piece will fit well with your map.
-
@PPK: three body armors and no long corridors
@kraid: the doors are a screenshot from the original movie, so I think they´re ok. I would prefer golden door frame props, but I don´t have those.
@roger: thanks for the track. and I´m really excited for the piano only version.
nothing really new in the funhouse. I guess the major work is over and I`m still polishing things, adding some round architecture and searching for three special textures: an octagonal wood floor, a retro man pointing to toilet and a better (more movie-like) wood wall texture for the training room. not so easy.
meanwhile I program my own bot for the funhouse. and what can I say, he´s even able to talk! great! but he´s still talking weird stuff with an english accent and has some problems with the rcp90, so I have to change some brain cells in his head I guess. here´s a video of that bot talking.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jzQ5LD7AW8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jzQ5LD7AW8)
and if you are no fucking coward, please send him a video response, haha! ;-)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST8yTh8HHeg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST8yTh8HHeg)
and here´s a proof that the bot is able to go back in time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BImAru3Z_WM&feature=relmfu
so, what do you think of my bot? what´s your favourite line?
-
That guy has a tendency to say the same thing over and over again.
-
@PPK: three body armors and no long corridors
:D
I dunno why I'm laughing now, but I am. That bot is a funny dude.
-
I guess you just made a joke.
If not, i'm absolutely against it.
For several reasons:
1. This guy is looking for attention, doing a bot of him would give him this.
2. You would use "his content" again, even if it's just his stupid voice saying lot of BS.
3. And most important: i don't wanna hear this stupid stuff when i play GES.
But the general idea of speaking bots i like.
============================
Imagine a special gamemode:
1 Player (Bond with only a PP7) against 1 (Scaramanga) Bot with the AuG.
Starting a round on easy difficulty.
There'll be only 7 shot in his pistol, but he can pick up ammo within the map.
Each time the bot is defeated, another round will start with the bot on a higher difficulty.
The player will earn score depending on how quick the bot was eliminated, how many shots were required, what difficulty the bot was on, etc.
Maybe each hit on the bot will give instantly scores depending on the hitzone.
When the player got killed, it'll decrease score.
Round ends when the timer runs out or the bot is killed. I'd say 3 or 5 minutes each round, maybe increasing round time on higher difficulties.
If the timer runs out, the next round will be the same difficulty again.
If the bot was killed it'll be on a higher difficulty.
When the bot was killed on the highest difficulty or the max. ammount of rounds (maptime) has expired, the match will end and the player will get his final score.
The goal is simply beating highscores.
As for the voice, i'd say beside scaramanga throwing demotivative comments and laughther onto the player, he could introduce the match with his well known sentence. I think you know which one (7 vs 1).
This gamemode could be altered to play against Baron Samedi on Egypt too. Or Alec on Cradle, or Xenia in Jungle, or Jaws in Aztec.

haha, don´t worry, it was a joke. but I think he´s truly entertaining in his anger. everytime I see this I laugh my ass off.
the rest of your post is really interesting. I only wish we had a scaramanga model. troy could create gamemodes likes this I guess.
-
I guess that idiot armoured-fury doesn't understand when you give consent to a game company or a team rather that once you give them your work and say "oh you guys can use this" that they can use it whenever on whatever they want, even if you get kicked off the Goldeneye Source team...what a dunce.
-
I like the idea of this chump being a bot, simply because I would get to shoot him over and over again.
-
dear players, here´s the story:
it was a normal day in the funhouse. scaramanga was killed by james bond years ago. his grave was placed in the control room
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40qy04swmcrt.jpg)
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40jru8s4q1dh.jpg)
his house was empty since then, only old memories spooked in the rooms.

(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40frg0pbo9ju.jpg)
I was on my way to toilet, but suddenly I heard a noise from somehwere. I zipped up and thought: what the hell...?
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40l6rmo2q5kz.jpg)
then a shadow scurried around the golden doors..it seemed like
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40wqskuelt5h.jpg)
dear god, BOTS have entered the funhouse! it was ROBOT VALENTIN, created to waste my life!
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40659wxk7ciq.jpg)
now he was everywhere! I had to kill him...him and his fat family!
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40hatm05bo9r.jpg)
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40sgjxwuyf7t.jpg)
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev402pa6ecjbfl.jpg)
I followed his fat trace and I discovered he lived in the women´s toilet in order to spread his damn powder, this maniac!
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev405qgcyj74w3.jpg)
I had to hunt him down like a pig
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40ic8mdej91l.jpg)
and then I slaughtered him in the cinema lounge
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40z6twr0dvgy.jpg)
but it was too late: he already told his sick BOT friends that the drinks in the funhouse were for free. I screamed: damn you all to hell!
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/jjjoblxg5dhfn.jpg)
I castrated their balls of steel
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40o760tyuxzv.jpg)
I erased their face

(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40jufeatdnzm.jpg)
but then: three new valentins..and a dancing mishkin! that was enough for me...
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40e9bgms302f.jpg)
...I had to grab the big weapons and I started to smoke out the rats!

(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev401m2i6qva0e.jpg)
but then some fucker came along and gave me a bullet. I was injured and lay on the dirty carpet. I heard him laughin, then he ran away. some important things came to my mind...
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev401i8vsw9qxl.jpg)

(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/gefunhousev40cr4vnfmzge.jpg)
but I survived the mean assassination and rest in the hospital now. and I hope you´ll spread this little story and take your chance to fight against the bots in the funhouse...SOON!
thank you for your patience
-
WOW! Is all I gotta say, Man, I remember the first version and look at this and I'm so amazed at the progress you've made and what this map has became.
*Raises hat*
-
Nice update Cy. Loving the narrative as well
-
thanks :-D I can see the end of the tunnel now. its very cool to see bots running around in your own map and I can tell you one thing: now its much easier for me to get a feeling for the flow and the spawning points. and some things just won´t work with bots. the funhouse has a lot of interactive gimmickries, so I have to come to a compromise.
after 4.2 release I´ll post another test version for the beta testers and a few chosen people. then I fix possible issues, so that it´s stable for the community. and I´m sure there will be an future event which features the new funhouse, maybe a month after 4.2 release, who knows.
-
I kind of wish you would leave the guillotine and the cage traps since they were fun to use.
-
Cate Archer? I guess this is now my favourite map.
Great screens, as always. Some areas look a bit dark though (I'm not talking about the corridors with the black walls).
-
@Troy: the guillotine -no, too useless. but probably a new cage in the black and white area.
@PPK: thanks. and yes, the map is rather dark, because in the movie it´s also a dark, unknown, mysterious place to be. but that goes not for every area, like the training room, the cinema toilet rooms and the storage room.

I understand. I don't really mind the darkness, though. I just thought you'd also make your map brighter overall just like every other map in GES (well, the official ones, at least), are aiming for so the player torch is phased out eventually (I think I read about that somewhere). It does force you to keep your eyes peeled for any shadows moving around and that is a nice challenge.
-
Much more awesome now. Lots of nice little details and jokes.
-
thanks :-) there are tons of details in there. and good news all you happy people, I´m finally pleased with my black and white room. why? because I changed the design to make it more bot friendly. now there´s a raised platform in the center of the room and two small chequered bridges are connected with that platform. if you fall down you´re instantly dead and you don´t have the chance to choose the right door which possibly teleports you back to the top again. but of course you will have the opportunity to move the two bridges at the press of a button so that your enemies possibly tumble in the black abyss. here´s a screenshot:

That's a shame, those doors sounded like a fun concept. Still though if it makes the map more bot friendly then I guess it's for the greater good. The room still looks nice though especially the checkered bridges. Keep up the good work man, hopefully not much longer to go now :-)

I thought of something that I liked in a previous version. For your traps, before you could shoot the buttons and they would work. I liked that before you wouldn't have to stand in front of them to get them to work.

ah thanks, I almost forgot this feature. I changed it in the last version because I thought people would shoot at the buttons all the time. but I think you´re right. it was a nice feature, so it will be in version 4 again.

Yes.
Ladies & Gentlemen,
I am pleased to see that so many shareholders and guests have taken the trouble to come here and show their interest in our wonderful mod.
This topic is about a new (4.) version of a map I´m currently working on, called Scaramanga's funhouse. The map is based on the James Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun" and the Gamecube Game "Goldeneye: Rogue Agent". For more infos & pictures, please turn back the pages here.
But enough talk now, here's the new funhouse trailer:

Bravo! Bravo!
-
Excellent Work Cy i look forward to playing it :)
i really cant wait to try it out :)
-
so is this going to be released coincide with 4.2 release?
-

no, but it´s "coming soon" ;)
-
Nice one Cy, love the trailer. Can't wait to try out the map when it's released!
-
Very good indeed, and love the trailer.
-
map progress is 95 % done now but I still need more music, especially the piano theme! so, if you´ve got some good tracks, please load them up and send me a PM
-
So excited, will it have Bots?
Actually, that's probably a silly question.
-
sure, the map will feature BOTS! and of course ROCKS and COWBOYS and GRAVES and NAKED WOMEN and even SOLOPLAYER! ;)
but seriously, the map is almost finished. I´m planing to release the second test version for beta testers /developers / chosen people (who would like to?) this weekend. then, after the bug report I am going to fix the stated issues and then the map will be released to the public.
after release I will post the vmf file of the funhouse AND also the vmf file of the fragmented island part. I´m very happy how the progress of funhouse turned out and after such a long time I feel I´m personally done with it. but I think some skilled guy (like luchador for example) could add some stuff, which is beyond my capabilities as a mapper (such as special models, like better cowboy / mob papercuts / mirror models in the hall of mirrors). there's always room for improvements. and maybe one day it could be an official map, who knows?
the second map (the island part) works as a good training lesson, to learn some basic mapping skills. the living room is almost done, but the beach needs a lot of environment work, mostly by adding displacements.
-
Yes! Send the files to me!
-
I would be honored to test and host! great work Cy

Naked Women? Gidditty Giddity
-
Why no naked men? We need to draw in the female audience.
*gigidity*

sorry for the delay, but I had to change one major floor in the map and now it looks just great. so, the second test version will come out on thursday. and I need MORE TESTERS!
-
and I need MORE TESTERS!
I wouldn't mind testing it out, but not on a Thursday. I'm back in college this week so I'll be busy enough with that. I'll be free at the weekend though. Not sure if I'll be able to give you any expert feedback about the map either but sure I'll give it a go, haha
-
If you need my help, I'm in.

Congrats Cy, glad to hear it's finally ready to be released. I'll be away at a wedding though in England next Saturday so I won't be able to attend that event but I'm sure I'll get a chance to play it someday. Kudos on all your hard work and dedication to this map through its various releases
-
Excellent! I've been waiting for this map for a while! I'll try and make it if possible!
-
Congradulations Cy :-) i cant wait
-
Neat job pal, You've done great throughout the years :)
-

thanks! :)

Don't forget to send me your map Cy. Saturday is approaching fast! Also I'm going to put your map in the rotation after the event.
-
don't worry, you'll get the map friday night
-
Just a reminder, the event is tonight at 5pm EST.

here's the map: http://forums.geshl2.com/index.php/topic,7337.msg76630.html#new
and I would be glad for some good screenshots or a video, because I still can't play on the internet.
-
I didn't take any screenshots.
-
Yeah I just saw the first screenshots on the level. Looks awesome despite it being in the early stages.
Cy, I really hope you do bring back the island and the dinning room. I would even suggest to keep only the best rooms from the funhouse so that including the beach and the dinning room wouldn't make it too big of a map. But if you do make a part 2 of just the island, I would suggest that you add the wrecked plane(how bond originaly reached the island), the laboratory kind of room(where the bond girl and the black engineer were during the gunfight), the room with the big lazer thing and even the solar panels (http://www.shinesolar.net) on the top of the rock. Just some suggestions. Anyway I love your work and I'm eager to see the future versions.
it was pretty awesome game for sure.. I have not played it for sometime so is there any updates or latest version?
