Just played it... frickin awesome Sanch3z! "Retro" Let us know if someone puts it up on a server.

thanks man..... The map will only see improvement as more versions are made Feel up to making a mine layer like ONS 2 for this map? 60 secong timed pickup I mean, that would be awesome cause I've been trying all night and havent got it.

First thing I'd want to do is make the mantas feel less stiff. But I'm still working on USucc mainly so taking on new things is hard to commit to... especially now that "real" work is piling on.

funny you mention modding the manta, I was thinking about that also. My ideas were modding the texture, make it dark and evil looking and tweaking the feeling of it also = Evil Manta muawuhahahaha!. I think the forward momentum you get when trying to suddenly stop could use a bit of reducing and maybe bumping up the overall speed that it flies would be good. I am able to do stuff like that.

As far as 2k4 coding I know how to write proper scripts, but they may not work due to me not knowing the functions and stuff when trying to create new things. I can compile scripts and get them to work in game. Subclassing and tweaking default properties is no problem either.

I'm not asking you to jump head first into creating stuff for 2k4, I know you are busy. If you get time to help me out a little that would be sweet though. By no means am I planning to do a project the scope of ONS 2.0 for 2k4, just some small stuff.

I am debating if and what I would make for my next 2k4 map: ONS Infection Forest or ONS Full Worm Garden..... or neither

I may be able to help out a bit.

beta 2 download up in first post.

Enjoy and tear it up

* try using the EONS scorpion boost over some of the "jumps" I made in the terrain. You can get some crazy air and daredevils. Mantas can use these jumps also..... good times!

hey guys, been awhile. Hows it going? I see you are still busy pounding out UT3 WAR maps. They look cool, I will pop in some Sunday night to check them out I'm still working on 2k4 ONS. I have updated the first post in this thread with a new version of ONS Floodgate XL and  ONS Avalanche.

Floodgate XL RC2 is up on Death Warrants Spam Vikings ONS32 server which is located in Chicago, 208.100.49.221:7777

They just put it up this weekend and I have only had one game of it. I think it was 12v12 maybe and it played quite well in 2k4 and seemed to be well liked amongst the players. ONS Avalanche may be up on their server very soon also. I think this version of Avalanche will play extremely well in 2k4, it has been modified to play better with 32 players and has many of the changes I made in WAR-Devils Night in it (dual primaries, balanced vehicle layout on both sides, etc).

Some other things 2k4 now has, thanks to WailofSuicide:

* mine layer like ONS2, single weapon pickup with 60 second respawn.

* scorpion funtions like ONS2

* hellbender funtions like ONS2

* improved Paladin

* hoverboards

* EMP Deployer weapon

There isnt any Warfare action going on most of the time. For 2k4 the Spam Vikings ONS server has 32 players most of the time, playing all custom maps. Good games are guaranteed if you can live with slightly outdated graphics

Here is a ss from 2k4 Torlan showing what may, or may not, make its way into 2k4 in the future ( its not a photoshop job, those are the actual vehicle models from UT3):

If they know what's good for them, they'll leave out the nightshade. But the viper would be cool. Hoverboard is absolutely critical... I'll have to jump in and give it a try.

just a note: Floodgate XL doesnt have the hoverboards, yet.... I will be putting them in in the final version which wont be for a month or so. Avalanche has them but is not on the DW server yet. Also the hoverboards arent like UT3, they have to be placed at nodes like regular vehicles. You cant just hit Q and they instantly appear..

ONS Avalanche should be in rotation on Death Warrant Spam Vikings ONS32 server, 208.100.49.221:7777, sometime tonight
