KF-wasteyard [custom map] KF 2.0 version

[Doyora]

Hey all, I don't post much here, but hey.

Back when the demo was first released, I had just started mapping, and so I decided to try and do my own KF map. I've got much better since then, and I recently decided to start playing KF again and I want to try and make this map better. I made it about 1 year ago so it's kind of old and looks very poor (like my third map ever).
You can download the old version here: www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=2310437

What I'm looking for in terms of feedback is how it plays etc (like the layout, weapon locker placement and so on), not comments on how bad/dark/bland it looks. If you could it would be nice, thanks . Anyway, I hope you have fun with this and I can contribute something worthwhile to the KF community.

EDIT: Final version for KF 1.0: *DEAD*, PM me if you're still bothered.

EDIT: Final version for 2.0:-

Why is it a rar file. How do I change it so it can play on killing floor? Right now its saying that its a Morrowind file...

[alex88]

Morrowind? O.o - just save the .rar and after it's downloaded, open the .rar file and extract the map to your "maps" folder under the "KFmod" folder and it should work.

C:\UT2004\KFmod\Maps = where i extracted it to.

You need winrar to open it.

Morrowind with zombies ^-^
/searches the net. Bingo!
Incompatible with morrowind online plugin -_-

Apart from that I'll take a look
I don't need winrar. 7zip can unzip it aswell

It is true that the looks are pretty bland...
I'll start with what I like and what I don't like

What I like:
+ A lot of places to go
+ Some pickups arround the map
+ Lot of karma objects
+ Pretty good layout
+ Zombiespawns work ^-^
+ hazards

What I don't like
- There are a lot of open rooms where zombies are not likely to get you. Adding a weapon locker there made it worse
- Daylight made it all less scary
- Missing ambient sounds here
- Ladders Zombies can't get up them and players can get up but not down becouse in KF you die easely when falling (too easely)
- I pushed one of the karma actors into position and got out of the map

Considering this is your first time making a KF map it is pretty good
Keep the maps comming and you make ma a happy KF girl

K thanks for the feedback. I'll take into account your suggestions and spruce it up again for a new version for the future some time.

[kyben]

oy! I got to download a program for it? All I got is winzip. I find zip better, but I'll download your crazy rar program.

Its a very good map. Fun to play, easily spaced out to evade zombies.

I've been hard at work and the updated version is about 30% done. It's slightly smaller than last time and has a less confusing layout (IMO). Of course it also looks much better now.

[Seras Victoria]

I like the sound of that great, I'd like to see it.

i like the map, spawn is beatiful, you dont get killed by zombez while loading, and you cant camp there to.

Nice solution.

I've finished updating this version of the map. It's still probably a beta, but I don't think there are any problems any more. So: download the new version here: www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=4992453
I still want to add more detail and stuff, but I'll save that in case any major problems arise.

Changes:

-Looks nice and KF themed.

-less complicated and slightly smaller layout. It is however more subtle and balanced (IMO) and now provides players with defence points etc.

-Waaaaay fewer karma objects (need to add more later).

-more zombies (because there are more volumes, more come at once).

-NO ladders.

-fewer wide open areas.

-Various "extras" (play around and you'll see what I mean ;D).

Have fun. If anyone wants I could put up screenshots.

[Alex]

GO for it.

Most people like to see b4 they download

OK some screens:-









Fairly weak pictures, but that's because the maps' shape doesn't lend well to good screenshots at it's current level of detail.
