Feedback: Yes, I would really like some.
Tell how you like the map
and
if you would like a new version (czarlot2.* ?).
More
spawn points ? Slower respawning tanks ?
Planet: Mars
Size: 1280x1280
(Tiny)
Players: 4
Type: Deathmatch
Scrap Count: 0
Geysers: 0
Powerups: There are no powerups unless
you count the 41 respawning
Czar
tanks.
Description: In this updated version, the players start
on hills to
prevent
someone in a tank from repeatedly shooting a
player
at a spawn point. In addition, new respawning
tanks
have been added near the spawn points, but down
off
the hills. This version should be more playable
without
the maximum number of players.
There
is a czarlot1.vxt file so you must start out as a
player
(asuser.odf or ssuser.odf), unless you change your
netveh.txt
file (version 1.0) or addon\netveh.odf file
(version
1.4). The czarlot0.vxt allows you to start as a
pilot
(aspilo.odf or sspilo.odf) or a soldier (sssold.odf
or
assold.odf). In case you don’t know the difference, a
player
is armed with a sniper rifle and a plasma rifle. A
pilot
is less armoured and carries only a plasma rifle.
Thus,
a good bz player can start as a pilot as a handicap.
Soldiers
are better armoured than players (I think). They
are
armed with the turret version of the chaingun (CCA) and
minigun
(NSDF). The turret gun (gtminig for NSDF, gtminis
for
CCA) has a longer range than regular version (gminigun
for
NSDF, gminisov for CCA) but is otherwise identical.
Soldiers
do not carry sniper rifles. BZFRAC made by Derek
Sorensen
(bz@bumblbee.demon.co.uk) made this map much easier
and
faster to make and ensured that it was balanced. The map
was
originally multdm70, but I used a homemade visual basic
text
editor to change the bzn file. It should work.
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
Before you begin exit Battlezone if it is running.
1) All the files in the zip file need to be unzipped into your
BattleZone\addon directory (folder).
2) Do not modify any of the files in any way! The map will lose
multiplayer
compatability.
3) Run czarlot1.bat. This will add the line to your netmis.txt
Next time
you play multiplayer, you should see "DHR’s Czar Lot
1.1" as one of the
available deathmatch maps. If you have problems installing the
map, make
sure you have the following files in your Battlezone\addon directory
(folder): czarlot1.bzn czarlot1.trn czarlot1.mat czarlot1.lgt
czarlot1.hgt
czarlot1.bmp czarlot1.txt czarlot1.des czarlot1.mad czarlot1.vxt
