-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Title : Treehouses Author : RocketBoy E-mail : tomw@earthlink.net Web Page : http://www.earthlink.net/~tomw Author Greets & Thanks: 3DRealms. The people at TEN (http://www.ten.net) where I have had a blast multiplayer dukematching via the internet for free during the beta period these past few months, and to all my friends and foes on TEN. The Setting : A tree canopy covered forest clearing with eight elevator-accessible treehouses stretching up into the sky above the canopy. The Story : You and seven buddies are hiking and hunting in an unexplored forest, drinking a hell of a lot of beer along the way. After awhile, having become very drunk and travelled deep inside the forest, you come across this shaded clearing in the woods. Eight huge trees loom before you, their trunks stretching high into the sky, their branches and leaves forming a large canopy above the clearing. One of your friends notices that the trees are hollowed out. He stands inside of one and shouts "Hey guys! I can fit inside it!". No sooner do the words leave his mouth then he is sucked up inside the tree, a mechanical elevator- like sound emanating from the tree as he rises within. While the rest of you stand there with shocked looks on your faces your friend comes back down the tree-elevator and tells you about the eight treehouses he found atop the canopy of trees. "There's all kinds of weapons and ammo in each treehouse...", he explains. "Two of the tree- houses, the ones in the middle, are really huge, and they are the only ones with locking doors and viewscreens that can see into the other treehouses." A collective "wow!" is heard as everyone rushes to the treehouse elevators and zooms up to see for themselves. You end up in a treehouse with an RPG in it, immediately grabbing it and some ammo as you say "Awesome!" to yourself. You pop open your treehouse's firing window and notice that your friends are doing the same in their treehouses. Everyone is excited and talking to eachother about what cool weapons they found in their respective treehouses. You're sure that they are all just dying to know what you found in your treehouse so you shout "Hey guys! Look what I found!", as you simultaneously launch a couple of RPG rounds into an adjacent fort, blowing one of your onlooking friends into giblets. As you're laughing your ass off at the look he had on his face just before getting blown to bits by your RPG, you notice a blast of devastator rockets coming at you from a nearby treehouse. You quickly close your treehouse firing window and duck for cover just in a nick of time and breathe a brief sigh of relief while reloading your weapon. The battle has begun . . . Your Mission : Kick everyone's ass. Take no prisoners. All campers must die. All non-campers must die. Everyone must die. Yup, you get the picture. Unlock the doors to the secret anarchy room high atop the fluffy white clouds and amaze and amuse your friends as you spy on them in their treehouses and then selectively blow them to giblets with hidden C-9 tanks detonated at your leisure. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * Play Information * Episode and Level # : E-3 L-OU812 Single Player : Naaa Co-Op Level : Nope DukeMatch Level : Most definetely Difficulty Settings : No * Construction * Base : Brand spankin' new level from scratch, my 4th map! Editor(s) used : That one build thingy Known Bugs : Lucky me... haven't found any so far, knock wood. Let me know if you see any. Construction Notes : Well this is my fourth map so far, and I was pleasantly surprised that it went pretty smoothly and only took me a few days of on/off work to complete it. I was also pleasantly surprised that I was finally able to achieve and maintain a decent framerate in this map (30 fps and above), unlike my last three maps. Hopefully the framerate is good enough that the map can be played on TEN. We'll see. * Where to get this MAP file * You have it already... duh. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
