AC130 Escort
View the trailer here!
Now contains part 2 and localization!
If you're anything like me, you've come to love the pure awesomeness of AC-130 gunships. So here's a mission where you're in one!
Contains parts 1 and 2. 3 and 4 are planned. Part 1 is an escort, part 2 is a base defense, part 3 is another escort, and part 4 is a bombing run.
It features a camera that circles around AC-130 style, following a convoy that you have to protect. Once it reaches the base, you must defend until more forces are built.
It also features 3 selectable weapons; Explosive Machine Gun, 40MM Cannon, and a Tactical Nuke. Select them using the custom GUI or by pressing 1, 2, or 3.
Leave any comments/suggestions/critiques you'd like, just keep in mind this is a rough draft.

Posted Jul 15, 2010Excellent work, almost reminds of the AC-130 Kill Streak Award in Modern Warfare 2. The only thing I wish you could add is a medium dmg cannon that shoots a tad faster then the main cannon, but slower then the machine gun. and then the main cannon does more damage but takes longer to reload. But of course that is me just nitpicking. One of the best maps I played :D

Posted May 14, 2010Just played your map (thanks to your localization!!!) and i wanted to add that once a tank got far behind because of a roach attacking it while the rest moved on. As did the camera... so maybe you should add some hold position trigger as soon as a tank gets attacked or sth. like that :).
Great map apart from that :). Cheers,
Squall

Posted May 12, 2010Part 2 is pretty fun, but the last 2 camera rotations are too slow, your base is at least half destroyed before you can even see any enemy units.

Posted May 12, 2010@Pixartist The limited ammo only applies to tactical nukes.

Posted May 12, 2010'Unable to open map' - can't play it
Don't know why. :(
GB client
EDIT:
Ok I fixed this issue. When your client ever says 'unable to open map' try rebooting your PC ;]

Posted May 12, 2010Edit: I've taken your advice and made it so that when weapons are reloading, they grey out. I've also made the colors on your current weapon selected change for better feedback.
I'll also be adding ammo soon. I haven't uploaded any of this though, I'll wait until I have part 2 of the map done.

Posted May 11, 20101-the camera rotates too fast overall. when i was done the screen seemed to be still spinning, i dont know if you can slow it down a little.
2-is there any way to include a visual cooldown besides the red text?
-other than that i thought the game play was fun and the map worked well. great job

Posted May 11, 2010Interesting game so far.
One thing that kinda bugged me is there is no way to see if something is on cooldown or not other than firing the shot.
Would be nice if there was an ammo bar that displayed how much was left and how long until it was ready again.

Posted May 11, 2010Thanks for the comments guys. I *swear* my camera fixer trigger worked yesterday, but then I tested today and it went back to spawn like you guys said. Dunno what's up with that. Either way, I fixed it. I also added keys to choose weapons, loading screen, etc. Now to work on more content.
@Malu Yeah I found out about that map after I posted a trailer for this map on youtube and his map was in the recommendation. However I think our maps are different enough that there's room for both, since mine is an escort while his is not. His is awesome though.
Anyway thanks again.

Posted May 11, 2010Made it to the base, nothing happened. Bad victory trigger?
That aside, I love these kind of maps! One gripe is that you need to wire weapons to 1, 2, and 3 for convenience.
Keep up the good work!
