Zombies have realtime shadows on, It actually made it look awesome.

[Hayato]

Oooh, finally a new map! I've been getting quite bored playing the hell of the other ones.

Much thanks, and keep up the good work.

Edit: Darn, the site won't let me download it!

Edit 2: Oh wait, now it works! Finally!

Edit 3: When I try to open it by typing open KFS-Town in teh command console, it dosen't work.

I sense lots of lagg with that on....

Realtime shadows were disabled by default for exactly that reason. Although yes - in a single player map where you had control over the exact number of zombies, it could be quite effective .

P.S

SaveFile.com is horrible.

Hayato : Did you put the map in your map folder inside your KF2.0 folder?
mrmedic: It doesn't lag at all with me. I'll send you a version w/o shadows if the lag is unbareable (I spelled that one wrong)

The zombies in the beginning don't have realtime shadows and I have to redo the mover I had over it to kill all those silly zeds. That might be whats lagging you. I have to find a better file hosting site, but anyway. Once I finish the last room and get the trigger to work for that door to open I'll send a version with the mover to kill the opening zeds.

I can't download the map, can you pm it to me (Save file is...well you know what I mean)

[Doomest]

Somebody please tell me a better file hosting site

@t-Jul I pm you it once I get back to my computer that has it

[T-Jul]

Maybe you can use filefront ?

I can also host it on my modding teams webspace if you really want it.

[Alex]

Oh god, it actually started.

Get out the way bitches, i'm pullin' a blistering 1.5 kps.

[Abyx]

I have 2.83.


Hayato, make sure you rename the file just to KFS-Town, because the savefile thing add a bunch of numbers and shit.

I had a playthrough, it's pretty well laid out though the trainstation is really really empty, I know it's not done..but for 80%, I'd imagine it'd have more.

Other than that, it has a good mood, it's pretty fun although the items respawn and all that. And I couldn't seem to get the gate open, unless it's not up to that far yet.

[Alex]

Ok - tried it.


I wont comment too much the artistry, as I also think it's quite abit empty and you've definitely used the same "tile" texture too much.

Regarding optimization - Or lack thereof in this case. Try to look for some tutorials on Zone Portals. In a map of this size, it would greatly increase playability. Using Rmode1 I was amused to find that all areas of the level were being rendered at all times.

In case you didn't know , unreal engine renders geometry and Staticmesh etc through BSP, by default. So even if you're facing a solid brick wall, your CPU and graphics card are computing everything on the other side of it for thousands of miles.

you_must_occlude_zones. And that is done through zone portalling, or antiportals.

Look at the KF maps for examples.

1.83 Kbps? Welcome to my world

[Doomest]

I'll host the fixed version on Filefront maybe. Yeah but trainstations aren't an artistic sight. I still have to put some chairs and some barriers in the main room in the station

[Jeremiah]

hm cool idea with the train passing by train stations and stuff. yeah sure could use some more details but i think it's really a cool setting. nice job.
