Would be cool to have a few chokepoint corridors going into the fort that the bunker can fire upon
west vector
Finish the map
I made some good progress today
hexed patio
Lemme see homie
west vector
Don’t read SDK help, I was uhh not working on other mods 
west vector
Lemme see homie
You have seen
I got distracted from working on it
And an working for the next several days so idk how much I’ll get done
hexed patio
Bro you turned kits into crates 
hexed patio
Ur a wizard
west vector
working on it a bit more
west vector
sacred sorrel
good
hexed patio
Nice
hexed patio
Finish it
west vector
Finish it
Am working rn
Might get a chance to work on it tomorrow, if not then Saturday
Fortress definitely isn’t complete but I wanna start making the routes getting too it. Gotta have good cover getting up to it
hexed patio
Ye
Good cover but the fort still needs to be OP with a solid defense
It should be hard to take it, but also hard to lose it
west vector
Yeah
west vector
Good cover but the fort still needs to be OP with a solid defense
you wanted some chokepoint corridors, something like this?
hexed patio
Lmao
I’m suck
I’m drunk
I’m drunk
I thought this thread was called dwarf fortress
😭💀💀💀💀
hexed patio
you wanted some chokepoint corridors, something like this?
Oh shit ye
Like the chokepoint has little cover and the only way to get in is to just go full force and rekt the defenders and rush
This good
hexed patio
Yes
Ok
Cya
I need to cook stove
Rice

Ok
Cya man

far from done so its not public but should be able to download it with this link if anyone wants to try it it out and give feedback or just see how it is rn.
Next thing i wanna do is finish the other two corridors to the same point as the current ones and see how the map plays to figure out if i wanna lengthen them
am happy with how its turning out, fortress needs more cover though so its harder to get shot
hexed patio
Ya this is turning out good
And ya the fortress needs more defense
Like little murder holes that are hard to hit the defenders through but give a good angle for the defender to fire through
west vector

Yeah need to figure out a good way to do that. Got some ideas just have to kindof see what works
hexed patio
Yea take some inspiration from castles
Crenellations
Arrow slits
This is a good vid on the subject
Maybe can give you ideas
west vector
Yeah kindof got that here but it needs adjusting
Idk what will work for crenellations in the SDK but I definitely wanna add those
Might also be able to do something like this
hexed patio
Ye and get some murder holes in there too
Like a hole in the floor above that you can shoot down into
Usually positioned above gates to fire down into attackers
hexed patio
Might also be able to do something like this
I just noticed your YouTube pfp is a different variation of your discord pfp 💀
west vector
I just noticed your YouTube pfp is a different variation of your discord pfp 💀
yeah i need a new PFP for both but idk how to make one 💀
hexed patio
Turn yours black and white and add a white circle border and then you’ll fit in with all the other Drakeling
hexed patio
Oh shitttt
Medieval factions when
We need bows
Swords
Bruh Mordhau was made in UE4
OHD is made in UE4
What if
👉👈
west vector
Medieval factions when
yeah whats taking so long
hexed patio
The other corridor should be a bit easier to get through but leads to a maze or something inside the fort that is well defended
So you get two paths, easy to get in, hard to stay in; hard to get in, easy to stay in
west vector
Yeah that could be interesting
hexed patio
Man this map is gonna be insane on my CQB server
sacred sorrel
yeah, waiting for it patiently
west vector
yeah, waiting for it patiently
Wait faster

Do ur job
hexed patio
Put a shipping container in there too
Like the one that’s open on both ends so you can go through it like a tunnel with good cover
Could protect the spawn with them
Like a wall of shipping containers with a few openings tunneling out with the ones that are open on both ends
west vector
Put a shipping container in there too
no shipping contariners that are open on both end in the SDK tho :(
Atleast not that I’ve found
hexed patio
Atleast not that I’ve found
Weird
The shipment map has them
Unless they’re custom but I think I saw the Drakeling lab logo on them
west vector
Hmm
Ok
This would be cool if it wasn’t 29$
Will find open containers tho
Somewhere
Must’ve just missed them
@native pasture you got some open shipping containers in your shipment map, were they from the SDK?
all the ones im finding are only open on one end
3 out of 4 corridors are half done
no containers yet tho
west vector
Its now public so anyone can try it out
west vector
Sweet, gonna be working tonight but let me know how it goes!
works pretty well with bots but players change things up a lot
native pasture
<@419151656878342144> you got some open shipping containers in your shipment map...
Yes
west vector
Ok, all the ones I found had both sides closed or only one side open, will look again later tho. Ty
native pasture
There are ones that dont have doors
west vector
yeah but in your map you got ones that have both sides open
west vector
Yeah I had just found the one with only one end open. This other end was closed
But will find it later
west vector
To do list:
Need to add a second spawn so each team has two options - done ✅
Extend corridors
Fix being able to escape
hexed patio
I think a roof on the fort would be nice
And the top floor should have more cover to where you’re not so exposed
Like if you stand then most the enemy would be able to see is your head
Or instead of a roof, at least more cover with slits
Also the stairs going in should be balance so that one stair faces each team
Right now both stairs face the same direction, making it so one team has an advantage
west vector

Wait really?
hexed patio
Ya
west vector
Damn, thought I had them both swapped
west vector
Or instead of a roof, at least more cover with slits
Yes roof would be hard but I can definitely make some walls higher
west vector
Hmm, maybe. Problem with those is I have some in my forest map looking out over a hill and I gotta point them downwards otherwise the slits are too high you can’t shoot anything below
Yeah I’m gonna add a second spawn point
Then put some walls and crates around them
A couple of my maps need more spawn protection
This one and, cqbuilding need it the most but walled compound also needs it
Trenches seemed to be fine but probably also needs some work
Got a lot of improvements to make over the weekend
Most urgent things are spawn protection but there are a few other issues here and there id like to fix then from there I can see what needs improving
hexed patio
Or instead of a roof, at least more cover with slits
btw this is kinda what I'm referring to
like im still exposed quite a bit i think when i have to stand
i suggest putting some sort of cover above this
west vector
opfor spawn now should be much harder to camp
west vector
blufor too
packaging and pushing update now
ok its out
1 map has better spawn protection, 2 more to go
west vector
cant wait to try it out later after i figure out my dang reverb lag issue
yeah hope you can get that sorted

Looks really good!

Had to google what showdown was lol but thanks!
icy warren
Oh I'm sorry, Showdown is a map from COD4.

oh thats not a problem just never played cod4

This map is just what I needed for some testing .. "little" bit bigger than Shipment2019 😆

Sweet, hope it works well for you! Working on expanding it but let me know if you think there is something that could be changed or improved
Also thinking about having two versions
One how it is currently then an extended version
hexed patio
Ya I think two versions would be good
west vector
Yeah don’t wanna extend it then find out it’s too long of a run and once you lose the fortress you can’t get it back
hexed patio
the long one would be nice if you could spawn in the fort if you capture it
west vector
yeah i could do that
west vector
One side fully extended
gotta do the other side now
also this is a seperate map option
so you can choose to play the regular or the short version
sacred sorrel
nice
west vector
@dull dagger something like this behind spawns is what you wanted. right? for the snipers?
problem is this is basically a spawn camper nest lol, might have to put it in front of spawn
uploaded an update
got the extended version in
hexed patio
holy shit
im gonna run it later today
working on an update for my cqb mod
this and District are my top fave maps rn
native pasture
im gonna run it later today
hexed patio
maybe an hour
west vector
theres a few more things on my to do list
Some tall foliage to hide a crouching player
some randomized variety
another variant with a taller fortress
native pasture
The bots are stupid
west vector
Oh dang
I thought I tested them
I might have forgotten to add a nav mesh lmao
Maybe not
Will have to look and see
valid silo
Hit P button it'll show it
west vector
Ye busy rn but will look once I get the chance. Should be an easy fix
dull dagger
<@86711167782748160> something like this behind spawns is what you wanted. right...
yeah, those are perfect, i noticed you moved spawn back some and added more brush (thanks, helped a lot while killing bot8 repeatedly for a killstreak of 10 while nobody was paying attention)
probably won't get away with that after the navmesh fix :3
west vector
yeah, those are perfect, i noticed you moved spawn back some and added more brus...
Yeah so I got two versions now, one is like before and another is extended about 2x the length, still looking too add more taller brush just need to find something that will work well
Lmao yeah bots should be more challenging with the next update
dull dagger
no, dude, it's perfect, i just spent the last desert fortress match defending the battlement
i was able to crouch on the ramp or prone on the sniperpost and clear both battlement areas
VERY hard to hit but possible
perp got me through the brickwork

bots are working in the SDK so gonna update it but i didnt do anything to make them work lol

nav mesh is updated automatically (little progress bar bottom right), if you didnt let it finish before packaging last time, it might be the issue
west vector
yeah thats probably all it was
damn they dont work in the short version
ok maybe i was "fixing" the wrong one
ok found the issue
fixed and uploading
needed a seperate navmesh for both maps
west vector
Ok so big ideas happening
Basically 6 way variant
Big road going through the middle with 4 other routes intersecting
Fortress is above road
Cars driving through
Buildings lining the routes or atleast the road
Something like this
But with assets I have access too for free or in SDK
dull dagger
Keep it simple. Keep it dumb. Don't worry about realism or keeping it consistent with reality. Worry about one thing. Is it fun. Is it easily graspable. If it's not, pull some WarriorJ graffiti out.
and if you're going for a california asthetic, lemme know and I can get some proper graffiti samples for you to texture from
"Caltrain graffiti" -> Google Image Search
if you want some help with level fill textures resembling those; lemme know and I can do some work to isolate a few in 2D
hexed patio
Basically 6 way variant
Oh this would be a sick variant
So 3 spawns per team?
Defend/fight from multiple directions
west vector
Oh this would be a sick variant
This would be more for KOTH
west vector
It’s real
winter marsh
bruh
west vector
Just ideas
west vector
Update when
Less then 2 years
west vector
Tall fort, multiple directions to spawn in from
Yes tall Fort plus 4 way version
west vector
Potentially a big mix of tall Fort/4way/long/short
hexed patio
It could open up into the center of the fort
And be like a circle tunnel around the map
And then meet into the middle
Like a circle with a vertical line in the middle
Or straight paths, doesn’t matter
Yo
What if
What ifffff
You just put CQBuilding under the fort
With tunnels leading into it from each spawn
west vector
possible variants:
Short fort - short corridor
Short fort - short corridor - tunnels
Short fort - quad short corridor
Short fort - quad short corridor - tunnels
Short fort - long corridor
Short fort - long corridor - tunnels
Short fort - quad long corridor
Short fort - quad long corridor - tunnels
Tall fort - short corridor
Tall fort - short corridor - tunnels
Tall fort - quad short corridor
Tall fort - quad short corridor - tunnels
Tall fort - long corridor
Tall fort - long corridor - tunnels
Tall fort - quad long corridor
Tall fort - quad long corridor - tunnels
west vector
You just put CQBuilding under the fort
hexed patio
Don’t forget the variants where CQBuilding is the basement of the fort
west vector
gotta get a notepad open
hexed patio
What if you put Compound on the sides as the third and fourth corridors
west vector
oh shit give me half an hour to type out variants
hexed patio
And Trenches that leads to compound
Dude just make a map that’s all your maps combined
west vector
Dude just make a map that’s all your maps combined
references gonna get mangled and borked
