BATTLEGASM 2015
Video of the map: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7gfqButwEo up to 4 players fly ships around in a free for all!
This map utilizes a custom physics engine (which is implemented a little sloppily but it was a learning experience) Players each control their own ship using the W/A/D/Space keys, there are 4 different ship types, each time you loose your ship you will be respawned as a new ship of a random type. Each ship type is significantly different than the other types. Like pretty much all the maps at this point, this is a work in progress.
Technical aspects: Keyboard controls, robust physics engine, Custom collision detection, Custom UI, Explosions (many),
NoRoo.fighting (US server)
Man, an airborne racing game using these controls and physics would be insane!
What? No I mean log on to battle.net, host the game switch the maps and start the game with only one player (your self) If you get in, you did it right.
Then have your friend do the same thing, one of you is doing it wrong and this will tell you who.
.SC2Map is a map file
.s2ma is a different extension for cached map files that has the exact same file format iirc as .SC2Map.
What do you mean? when i go to my battle.net account i only have the option to download the client. I can't start the game through there :S I think the problem is the fact that the guide on that thread refers to maps and not mods. I don't know, but shouldnt the file i downloaded here end in xxxxxx.s2ma like the one i have to delete instead of ending in xxxxx.SC2Map ? Thanks in advance :)
Chipimix: One of you didn't do it right. Try starting the game on bnet by your self, then have him do it, whoever doesn't get in is the one to point the finger at!
Hi! I downloaded the file NoRoo020.SC2Map and placed it in C:\Users\YOUR NAME HERE\AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache\2e\0b after deleting the file 2e0bea8af7278e98da4a3e416d208cd17956bc36e1b53e37287a468ed1468daa.s2ma while in the lobby (like it said in the How to play online guide). And so did my friend. However, when i start the match we both get an error message saying "Unable to open map."
What am I doing wrong?
to play online read this thread: http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/tutorials/563-how-to-play-online/
There is also a utility you can use but I still recommend trying it manually just so you know what's going on.
How can you play online? And how did you get it working if it's true.. On the homepage it says this map managed online play somehow 0.o.
This and hexed are by far the most entertaining games I've played from the new engine, its like multi-player asteroids on crack.
