Title: GE:S 4.2 Community Map Pack: The Darkness Within (Preview)
Post by: TriDefiance on February 05, 2014, 05:41:29 am
Fellow Community members,
Unfortunately GE:S hasn't received any new maps in a while, so thanks to Patriota [1138], we've decided to bring back maps as a little remembrance of our v4.1 days!

Introducing The Darkness Within Map Pack!
This map pack includes two of the maps that were played in Perfect Dark, revamped and re-textured for v4.2!

Perfect Dark: Ravine

A fun map with jumps and turns that can totally throw you off from your gameplay!

Perfect Dark: Felicity

The fan favorite to GoldenEye is now back from Perfect Dark! ;)

As we prepare the files to release the map pack to the public you can try it first, right now on the [1138] Server.

Felicity, I ported but never released. Ravine I ported  (http://ubuntuone.com/3XUAV3zbo1KtGjjLT6UuzR)and is on the [1138] server, but is nominate-only because the level design doesn't totally fit GE:S' gameplay.

Still nice to see Felicity back, though!

Ravin is the only map that wasn't allready in GES. The reason you mentioned above, unsuitable for GES.
The others, felicity, villa and complex were ported a few versions ago, even before 4.1 - i have to know.

The maps were ported with permission of the PDS team (or at least the members i was able to get in touch with like Gectou4).
They're not recompiled, only edited to work with GES and all the custom content packed into the bsp.

Since then a lot of changes were made to GES with tokens, teamplay and bot support and since the maps were taken from an ep1 game without HDR, it might be a good idea to refurbish these maps and bring them up to the new standards.

But please do it properly and also include credit for the original creators.
If you run into issues with them, feel free to contact me on steam or with PM.

Also, since you're creating a PD mappack, you should also include the rest of the PD maps that were created by community members of GES (carrington institute, grid, pipes, desert temple,...)

I just wish there would be a (working) way to include custom playermodels, ammo crates or even weapon skins (not functionality) just on these maps. Would be somewhat like what PD did with the classic weapons cheat but vice verse.

For sure, it would be great to see them all brought up to standard and re-released, waited a long time for Grid to get fixed but it unfortunately never happened which was a real shame as it was such a gorgeous looking map.

wow felicity reminds me so much of the lair of the shadow broker dlc for mass effect 2...or should it be the otherway around (depending when the PDSource team created the map)

Ravine looks cool :)

I like how a release date was promised but never fulfilled.

I love how impatient you are. Life has curveballs and you never know what you're going to expect. Not all things revolve around you. Anyways download is up.

Whoa now. The included music scripts only use three music tracks each but you have 17 different MP3s bloating the archive by about 100MB. That's a huge waste of our time and bandwidth.

Also, Felicity is fullbright and it looks like the cubemaps aren't built.

I'm sorry if you put a lot of work into this...but there was a reason these maps were left behind

If you're going to promise a date to the community, you need to see it through.  It said in the post, we could try them out on the 1138 server.  Therefore, I don't see a reason for the delay or giving me an attitude.  I don't even plan on playing these maps.
