MH-SpecialGuests

I had not touched it a couple months.
When i opened up and walked around the other day i was stoked all over again. This map is coming out way better then i anticipated. Mostly due to a superior lighting tutorial.

You really can turn an ordinary map into a serious " amazing suck you in environment "
just by setting the mood with some good lighting technique.

I was actually running that thought through my head more then once.
The problem is you cannot let that gun into the rest of the map or people can use it to cheat or get places where i don't want them to go.

The solution i guess would be to have the door to the BT section close behind you?
Then to get out of the BT you have to suicide or finish it and you end up at the last boss?
Would that be ok?
Thinking further maybe have buttons along the MH section that unlock more of the BT section! HA I am a Genius!

Thanks to Pots the BT section is in the works! With the portal gun!
I need to PM BlackCheeta and see if there is a final version soon to use. I don't want to get mis-matches cause i used a beta.

Update::

I have spent allot of time today on the map .

I fixed a few things , added a few things , and inserted lots of pickups , ammo , guns , health packs , MONSTERS!

I spent lots of time tweaking out some Creature factories.
Can anyone tell me how to increase the gasbag projectile range when you are using a creature factory?

Here are some more screenies. I still haven't really showed you anything.

oK

Update time.
I have spent all day on a problem that arose.
But after moving an entire section of the map further away from the rest and adding some teleporters , The problem seems to be fixed.

I guess i had to much stuff to close together.
A tunnel that lead downward was clear till i added monsters. Then all of a sudden players where unable or severely slowed to make passage.
I was screaming obscenities at one point.

Because it's a really cool part of the map that i don't want to change much.
You will see when the beta test starts.

Anywhoo :
One section of the 3 MH paths is "except for sounds" Completely finished and full of Monsters that HATE HUMAN BEINGS SPECIALLY MONSTER HUNTERS!

Well back i go to test it one more time in play.
Then to work on it some other sections.
Last time i tested just this current path i'm working on took over 30 min to complete in real game play.
So i am estimating the whole map will be in size and length around something upward towards Andromeda Ancient. Taking around 2 hours to finish the map all by yourself.

How long does Andromeda take to finish alone?

Well there are four paths in this map.
3 MH paths and 1 special path "Portal gun path"

I have pretty much completed one of the 3 MH paths now all the way to the boss.
The other 2 MH parts are done except for the sounds and monsters witch wont take long. You just fly around and ad them in. Same with pickups and weapons.

The portal path has not even been built yet cause i am trying to wait for BlackCheetah to finish coding the portal gun. But if the map is finished first then i will just add in the beta version of the gun, it works well enough.

ETA? Hmmm depends how much time i have to spend on it.
Though now i'm so close to the end i am getting excited.
I want to play this really bad too. Over estimating I am guessing a couple of weeks till we have something to beta test.

That is exactly what i had in mind!
What should the game password be?

I am trying my hardest to complete it.
Yet not rushing anything major.
I hack a little at it every couple days. It is coming along.
