Hello to the UT 99 MH players out there. {MHM}SuPreMe-NaLi recommended that I register here and tell you a bit about myself.

Well, I'm a pretty busy guy. I play UT 99 Co-op mostly when I have some spare time. A few MH players I see on 3's UT 99 coop server recommended that I convert Skaarj Tower to MH. Well, I finished converting the map to MH and sent {MHM}SuPreMe-NaLi and 3 the latest beta version of MH-Skaarj Tower. When the gameplay bugs have been worked out by the beta testers, I'll post news of its release. I'm not sure exactly where to post news of the map when it is finished or where to upload it, so if anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

-Drew

Welcome to HOH Drew! :P
Was Skaarj Tower originally a DM map?
I would probably like to add the DM version to our DM servers. :wink:

Hello Drew and welcome, it's nice to see you here.

About that map, I think you should use one of those free file sharing websites since there's a 5 MB limit for the attached files in here.

Thanks for the welcome and the help.

I made a DM map from a section of Skaarj Tower for the DOG clan in 2005.

The map is called DM-Lexmark Castle.
The homepage for the map is: http://lexmarkcastle.50megs.com/

Hello Drew! Awesome! A mapper is in the house. It has been a while. Welcome to the show Drew. Glad you could make it. We'll try to take it easy on you. Please understand.....mappers are rare gold to us here. Post that map anywhere you want!

Hey POTS, do you think that file size limit is something I can change here or is it just part of PHPBB?
~Peace~

Well, Hermskii must have meant it has been a while since a Mapper Joined HOH. :wink: (there are mappers here too) :wink:

Herm, yes, you should be able to adjust the file size (and types of files allowed) in you admin control panel - under "Attachment settings" :wink:

Hijack! OK, I have set the max file size to 20MB now. It was set to 9.77MB for some unknown reason. Doesn't everyone think that should be big enough? It is 20MB for both posting and attachment here or sending them through PM's to each other. Peace!

UnHiJack! Welcome to the show again Drew! If you made that Skaarj palace on the cliffs inside the giant cave, I am very very impressed
~Peace~

Hermskii, thanks for changing the maximum uploadable file size. 20MB should do the trick.

Yes, I made that huge map...LOL. It is actually too big...hehe. It can be taxing on servers hosting the map, so you need a newer computer to run the map without a considerable amount of lag.

The map came from the Single Player/Coop map series called Skaarj Tower - Shadow and Fire.
The home page for the map series is at: http://skaarjtower.50megs.com/index.html

Someone converted both maps from the series (Skaarj Castle V2 and Skaarj Tower) to MH, but I guess they had problems converting Skaarj Tower.

The gameplay seems a bit hard for me in the version of Skaarj Tower that I converted to MH, but I do not play MH much. So, I will trust what the beta testers have to say about its gameplay/difficulty. Also, I did not add much extra ammo, because I assumed most servers use regenrating ammo on their server. However, if regenerating ammo is not used on the server, then there will be an insufficient amount of ammo to play the map. I will have to decide what to do about that dilemma.

Now I know the map (DM-Skaarj Tower)...I use to run it on my server about 5 years ago.
Or I tried to run it...
Great map, huge which I like but I was having problems with spawn points.
I think I even emailed you about it a few years ago.
Hmm, if I remember correctly and can cipher what notes I have from back then it seems
that the map was only running 1 or 2 spawn points?
Something like that.
And currently I run your other map DM-lexmarkcastle on my server, another big map.
Anyway, welcome to the HOH.
If you ever want to learn the art of Redeemer look me up.
And if you have time let's talk about DM-Skaarj Tower...

MEAT - the problem is that DM-Skaarj Tower is from Unreal1 (coop)
No need for all the Spawn Points in Unreal.
Easy to fix though! :wink:
