KOTH_Haunted_Fall

Booo!

Entry for the GameBanana Halloween Mapping Contest
KOTH HAUNTED FALL EVENT CREATED BY UNREAL

Here it is, my Meelee/KOTH map entry for the Halloween Mapping Contest! I was too excited and couldn't hold it much longer. I hope I didn't forget to fix anything.

Map rules

Both teams are allowed to use meelee only, and must capture the only control point placed equidistant from both spawns. They must hold it 2 minutes to win the round!

Background story

Its Halloween and both teams are scared as hell! They barricaded themselves inside this church but theres only place for one team. They will have to fight if they want to remain inside!

Map features
Wee!

  • Halloween feeling
  • Meelee only
  • Custom loading image
  • Lighting
  • Ability to set arrows on fire using the torches
  • Custom first time captured sound
  • Detailing
  • Halloween soundscapes
  • 3D Skybox
  • Built cubemaps
  • Particles usage
  • A pretty creepy ghost going around the control point area that scares the players (Flies and flashes randomly!)
  • Find out more for yourself you lazy ass!

Credit to team!

I wanna thank everybody who suported me, especially Giblets of Jesus for helping me and providing constructive feedback on the making of this map.

Overall

There are 2 known issues, one of them is torches sometimes fail on igniting the arrows, and the other one is I couldn't pakrat the map or else it would crash the client or show some really bad weird shadowing. Something to do with .vhv files that were causing this problem. Appart from that I'm pretty much happy with the final result, I'm not a great mapper so I consider I was lucky with this one. Maybe I'll make a non-halloween version of it one day.

Awesome video of awesomeness created by Paul :d

    bigass review here

    Thanks again for the review + video, I love the fact that you are putting so much effort into them hehe. :P

    Although I need to point something out, the map is medieval mod which pretty much prevents spawn camping. :P No sentries, no real weapons, just meelee and arrow guns. That's the only thing I can disagree basicly.

    Love ya. :3

    Ah! Silly me! I had the HUD off, so I didn't know it was a medieval, haha. Great work man, love you too. And your maps. And cheese.

    :D Added video to the description as well. Good work, thanks!

    No, thank you for your kindness and great maps :'D

    I know I'm late, but this map was too nice not to review. :3

    Time for my feedback once again.

    First off, it's a simple, small map. I can tell you like making KOTH maps, amirite? The layout is simple and fun.

    The doors (gates) at the spawn work just fine. I'm only afraid people might be able to pop in all sorts of bombs into the other spawn when someone walks in. (Or did you place something to block the bombs and bullets?)

    I like how there are lights and pumpkins hanging from the ceiling, good work on that.

    The flags hanging under the windows look good, they make the wall more interesting to look at.

    The props in front of the doors between RED's and BLU's spawn is really well thought of. It stops spawncamping a little, I hope.

    One other thing though: I'm afraid there'll be too much spawnraping. As in, sentries in front of both doors. Spies won't be able to sneak out because the other team will see the door opening and some idiotic pyro comes running and torches everyone...

    But, your map is done now, so no changing that. Guess you'll just have to be fast and quickly grab the CP! Great work man, you deserved the price.

    This = 1st place

    Thanks but I'd be proud just to have a 3rd place. I've seen lots of really good entries, one of those is yours.

    Hi Unreal,

    Nice map, I really love castle maps and I like the details, they seem to fit in nicely. I also like the shapes of the roof. It's great to see another castle-ish map. Only judging by the images tho.

    If this map is added to a server, I would be up for joining, that's for sure.

    Thanks :)
