Hey Guys,

Many thanks to those that watched my Alpha video and commented. I'm happy to announce that the map is now available to play.

Check it out!

Escape - An SP_Backlot Experience

Also there is a new video posted. If you have seen the first one then there isn't much difference here, but I did incorporate some feedback from you fine folks.

Notes:

- All friendly VO is in Russian (because you are Russians!)
- Known issue if you beat the squad to the car and use it it can sometimes leave without your squad in it. (don't rush!)

Thanks for playing! Any and all feedback and comments are welcome.

i liked it!
pretty smooth if u dont rush it.
one thing i noted was that before the jeepride i had picked up an enemy gun ( not fan of pistols :P ) and after the jeepride i was back to handguns and lost my enemy weapon. minor detail but still good job on this. Last thing, was the heli at the end suppose to leave without the other russians?

Well i just saw the video of the game-play, It looks very nice. I like the custom Voice Overs they are recorded very professionally! "Thumbs Up!"


Voidsouce - Yes it should end like that as i read the subtitles in the game-play video and team mates say we stay here and support the others, good luck Nikolai or something like that :)

oh i didnt read the subtitles thanks lol.... i was more into the gameplay :P but yea overall was pretty good.

Thanks for checking it out guys, much appreciated.

Skytram - I am making a single player map too but i do the whole map nicely and all but the thing that takes a long time and lots of confusion is the scripts and such i mean like you made that end helicopter Nice! also the "Get in the jeep" not spawn in the jeep also pretty cool.


Maybe you could add me on Xfire if u use it or any other software we could chat about it ok :)

Hi Zaphax,

Thanks for checking out my map. I'll reply to you in line here...

"but the thing that takes a long time"

Yes it does! This was my first map and it was a huge learning experience. It took a very, very, long time to get things working well, and I still hate some of the stuff in there. Don't give up -- it's not easy but it's very rewarding when you get something working well and it can take a very long time. I often hit a wall with something I wanted to do and had to think about it for a while to figure it out, or re-design it to work.

"and lots of confusion is the scripts"

My advice is to try to find a similar thing to what you are doing in the IW levels and take a look at their scripts for help.

I'm not on Xfire but if you have specific questions post them in the Scripting or the SP forum and I'll take a look.

Yes well i been mapping for 5 years maybe even longer since Cod1 released mod tools.

I have never ever! Created a single fully working map only part of map or houses structures ideas and all i can do basicly Anything within the radiant and lots of things in Photoshop/AssMan and so.

Even made a youtube channel to make Videos for other people to learn but i am the typical teenage type of person who starts something with a Big, Nice, Smart idea and in the ends gives up cause of the confusion and mistakes and also of the not knowing what to do next cause i make one part and forget to do other i even tried making layout out of case textures even that i fail and give up but if i do just houses parts of something i come up with i can make it look as good as Devs work. But i always get stuck in the end i mean scripts are taking long time to get/understand but still i mean its the fact that you know something will be wrong a line or 2 and then u must take picture post it to this site for help if someone helps then good if not then deadline for the map/mod/script as I cant script my self i can only Edit basic scripts. will learn more in University.

We could make a map together all we need is to do like a layout and then we both think of ideas/make characters AI's i could make NICE nearly as good as devs work of VoiceOvers and later map finishing touches and for your part more of the scripting incase you know how to script very well. But nvm about that for now.

You sound like a cool dude. ;)
