The Maze - Scripted coop map

[Tiank]

After I took a quick look at it, it seems, that andreus have already changed The Maze for next release, so it won't work like it should on r5503. You can try it on new nightly, should work fine. It would be also great if you test it on new nightly, to give feedback if everything works as it's supposed to .

That text box works fine on new nightly, now it can be showed/hidden without using dynamic scripts like it was before, but with button on screen.

About adding maps to Remake: only thing you need to do, is move the whole map folder to MapsMP. So you did it right. No need to putting anyting from that map folder anywhere.

And usually map folders don't contain "data" folders, I've seen it only in Maze folder, but I'm not sure why it is there, what's the use of it... .

[andreus]

@TaBull, you get this error because script uses things (like GroupHungerSet) which are implemented only in nightly builds. Try to play in nightly, as Tiank mentioned.
"data" folder is used for Readme btw

p.s. there can be some problems with AI, because AI settings were changed in last nightly release... if you find any problems please let me know

- 120 text lines
- 2 hours of game fun per game
- over 100 test games

Thx for help guys!

Enjoy
And continue to report any issues if you find them

AMAZING !

Some of those SFX will sound terrible over the top of the game music, for example CASTLE. I suggest you use PlayWAVFadeMusic instead when the sounds are themselves music (so the music will fade like it does for victory/defeat sounds). Short sounds like OUTPOSTDONE probably don't need fading. Best to test it in-game with the game music playing and see how it sounds.

BTW, you should never call anything "final" But great work on your 6000 line script, I think that's a record

Hahaha I would like to see andreus´ face in this moment when he has read this, just with his statement before:

Well, final version has been released This time FINAL

I played with these sounds but without ingame music. But agree, some sounds can sound terrible on top of ingame music. I'll test this

Agree also about "final". Anyway, I can add or remove something

not final, again

Just name the versions before Betaversions and this is version 1.0. You can still bring 1.1.... out

Andreus can you also convert your readme to a pdf file so there's a button to open it from in the game? (see this topic)

[andreus]

ok

Not really . I was playing with music on and extra music (Castle.wav) didn't sound terrible, it wasn't annoying or something. But maybe I just got used to KaM music or maybe it was because of music volume set on 4 and sounds on 5 .

FadeMusic would be useful though, it should sound a lot better then. Needs testing. (Testing... Testing... Testing... Testing... Testing...)

It's not needed for short sounds in my opinion. Troop voices are not interrupting music. Neither do short sounds like eagle cry.

the devs agreed about optional parameters to mute ingame sound when playing a sound. that can be used to play short music clips. just renmeber to avoid copyrighted stuff though.

It's already implemented. That's why I told Andreus to use Actions.PlayWAVFadeMusic
