New Map/Gametype: 2DDeck16
Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2005 8:41 pm
Taken from the readme file...
====2D Unreal Mod====
Version: Beta1
Files:
2DDeck16.unr
2D_game.u
-------------------------
Authors:
engine: .:..: (a.k.a. dots)
map: Xavious (a.k.a Valor_Edgeways)
-------------------------
Description:
This is a new take on the classic deathmatch map, DmDeck16. It is the most popular deathmatch map, with more that 10 servers running it, most of which that is the _only_ map being run. People play it because it is very well designed (the powerful pickups are all in risky locations, and the weapons are well placed to balance each spawn point) and because there is always someone else willing to give you a challenge.
Well, things have just gotten a little different...Now, the map is played from a 3rd person perspective, zoomed out, at 90 degrees to the player. You might immediately think 'Mario' or 'Sonic' but truth is its nothing like them. You still have all unreals weapons, textures, sounds, the lot. In any case, it is all very hard to describe...Go and take a look for yourself...
-------------------------
Installation:
Unzip 2D_Game.u to unreal/system and 2DDeck16.unr to unreal/maps. Start unreal, hit tab and type 'open 2DDeck16'.
-------------------------
Features:
New perspective on player
Higher jump
erm...thats it for now hehe.
-------------------------
bugs:
Sometimes the camera gets stuck in the first person view on spawning. To fix this, press tab and type 'viewself'.
Other players when attacking sometimes do not turn round to face you...there is no fix for it yet, but this _is_ just a beta...
-------------------------
Still to come:
Two or three new maps (2DDeathFan is already underway)
Aiming system, allowing you to point your gun at different angles
Changes on the more pointless weapons (for example, changing the rifles zoom so that it zooms in the direction you are facing, not on the player)
Enhanced perspective, so you can see more of what is going on.

Bartender: Yes sir. It cost 1 pence.
Man: Er...ok...will if thats the case, can I have a T - Bone Steak, Chips, Fried Egg and another pint!?
Bartender: Of course sir, that will be 5 pence.
The man looked more shocked then ever.
Man: No way...somethings wrong...this has to be a joke!? Where is the manager?
