    Okay I guess we're testing tomorrow, anywho, does anybody know if I add endmap1.mp3 in my map, I can play a custom endmap song just for when my map ends?

    Also, my map used to hide the other parts in the map because they were all in separate skyboxes but now it draws the whole map all of the time... I tried portalling it but I don't think I did it right so it did nothing. I really need to fix this as it drops my fps down from normal to 50fps lmao.

     

    If I Recall Correctly, the endmap should work; considering older maps used to replace weapon skins with their own. Not sure though, I'd test it out locally and see what happens.

     

    Also, (another IIRC) pretty sure you cant have more than one skybox in a cod4 map. Again, not sure if i'm right but I kind of remember looking into that sort of thing before.

    Might just be that you can't use two different skybox textures though

    Okay I put that in, I hope it works.

     

    Anyway, the map is done, I just need mikey to help me implement something to prevent the megroom from being picked again and something to give the player unlimited ammo and then I need to test it.

    Hopefully I can release it within the next 2 days.

    make sure you eventually show the player again at some point in your script (like round end) because I dont think the mod has any round start functions which show the player. I could be wrong though.

    how do you hide a player

    it's literally just 

    player hide();

    or 

    self hide();

    or 

    level.activ hide();

    depending on the context of the script of course.

     

    then when you want them to not be invisible you do a show();

    so if the script were using the context of self it'd be 

    self show();

    Combine that with spooky fx being played on the hidden player for extra fun.

     

     

    If you ever download twitch sources you can see how I used the function in trap06() aka the ufo trap.

    What the hell happened in this topic O.o

    @Jwofles

    You should be able to look in mp_dr_twitch's scripts for a way to start/stop sounds. Pretty sure I did something like that but I'm not 100% sure. Just saying a look in there might help. If you find something useful feel free to use it however you'd like. I've never considered scripts to be anything but open-source anyway.

    There's nothing wrong with using other's inventions to LEARN from it or to ADAPT from it, but to just use their stuff as is. 

    A trail script can only be written one or two ways though. So again, why reinvent the wheel?

    Teaching people to decompile maps to get scripts... why do I feel you don't belong in the help section of this forum?

     

    I see nothing wrong with using other people's work as long as credit is given.

    Why force yourself to reinvent the wheel?

    Shorter games, 9 rounds instead of 11 because the maps always end up being really long and boring.

    I remember recommending this a long time ago and no one was interested. This was like a year ago tho so perhaps now people's opinions have changed.

    I still think if deathrun had cs-like movement it'd be pretty neat. If you guys end up doing that lemme know so i can check it out

     

    Also saw someone else recommend adding cherry, idk if this is still a problem but for some reason cherry wouldnt work with newer versions of the deathrun mod, as it'd only work with 1.2.

     

    I dont remember the exact error but it'd take some troubleshooting to get it up on the server

    it only takes 9 pages to get to servers with 0 players...

    That's a huge decline from a few years ago.

     

    Anyway if the definition of a dead game is a game without a playerbase cod4 is not dead. However you can hardly say it's got the same active playerbase it's always had. Braxi also made plenty of good points about the state of the game itself. It's riddled with security leaks and hasn't been supported for more than half a decade. Basically think of it like you're using windows xp now in 2016. It's hardly safe and you can really only protect yourself by connecting to servers you know and trust. Add on to the fact that there isn't even an anti-cheat supporting cod4 now and it's kind of obvious why the playerbase just isnt there anymore.

     

    Anyway, circling back to the topic making new mods is all good fun but in my opinion a mod has to be really good and really unique if you want to bring old players back. Because cod4 isn't attracting new players much anymore.

    Map quality actually degraded over time, the first maps (exclusing darkness) were pretty okay with good lighting and nice designs not the AAA quality but good enough, I think lots of good maps were made back in the day when mod was still private or during v1.1 (and that was 5 years ago), from time to time rycoon, rednose and foolks at 4GF released decent maps (others too, but that was rare).

     

    So what went wrong you ask? Popularity of the mod took it down and people playing on potatoes who had shitty frames even on darkness, and immaturity of modding scene where pretty much nobody respects others work (stealing of scripts, textures and other crap which wouldn't upset anyone at all if credits were given) you know... if you coded that super awesome and new trap and you see it being used in a diferent map from that other guy who states it's his you'd want to fuck it and leave, some people just ported CJ maps over to DR and added a few traps.

    I think it's also because newbie mappers aren't patient, making a map takes a time especially if you're a noob at it, people will make maps with horrible bugs and shitty graphics just because then they can make a map within a week or less (some were made in 10hours).

     

     

    Pretty much any of the 'good' mappers I knew and spoke to have moved to other games or have no plans to make maps.

     

    I'd say the start of the downfall of map quality started when I came around. I was definitely in that category of nooby mappers you described. Just look back to how awful the original release of mp_dr_darmuh was. Not that darmuhv2 was much of an improvement.

    That weird feels when you read arguments about religion and bosnian posts this:

     

    like he completly gives a fuck and stays neutral like never before :horror:, but then his next post is just what you'd expect from bosnian and he goes with all the religious crap and calls people idiots :awesome: and so we can do what we always do when it comes to bosnian: rep_down.png :dumb:
