Other Sharpshooter Online - |Map of the Week #2|

Well he needs to make it not lag, b.net compatible, and he cant use any 3rd party programs or people without them cant play it... im thinking using mouse would create lag or would move slow.

Without mouse moving, the game play is slow and dumb, but no doubt that it looks great.

Well you can switch the speed with one of the buttons, i forgot which one though. Anyways its on warcraft and its an original idea imo.

That is very complicated to do and you would need trackables making the game even more laggy.

 

[U are a noob]

Using a mouse to look is not bnetable.

Hey banlord help test this map... 2 minutes later after getting bored, ''AH I CANT SEE, I CANT SEE!''

ah the good old days... (only banlord/me/azure will understand that comment above)

anyway, I dont think im ever going to finish the gold mine thing. The shotgun itself was nearly 100% complete and everything for it was fully functional but fitting it into a map that fit the theme was impossible so I gave up. I am extremely busy with college at the moment and havent had any time to work on anything since my last update but I will probably update the beta map sometime this weekend with the new controls and the lag problem fixed. As long as the host is using ListChecker through LAN and then connects to Bnet there should be less lag and delay. Framerate has been improved somewhat as well and will be able to handle all 10 players most likely depending on your computer. Sharpshooter Online BETA 1.2 will be the last update as far as BETA goes as I am only working on it soon upon request of a group of individuals. As far as I am concerned, if the next update works alot better online and the new controls are likeable, I will most likely remove the BETA and if I ever decide to work on the map later it will be updates from that. BETA was intended only for playability testing and was prolonged horribly from being too busy.

Lol, that joke I pulled on you guys was epic. Can't believe you fell for it

Hey Tricky, whenever you see this message it will remind you to post the new update you promised this weekend.

(also bump because this map pwns)

 

[bradleo]

Tricky can you please post the newest version!!!

 

[xxxtrickyxxx]

^_^ sorry, but college comes before anything else and its been hectic lately so i will have an update out when i have a week to get it finished. mainly the game modes are what is left which requires restructuring of all the nonshooting oriented coding so it takes some work.

 

[bradleo]

K, I don't really care when, as long as I know the update is coming.:thup:
Thank you for replying!

 

[Nudl9]

I liked the old sharpshooter demo movement better. :S

 

[bradleo]

*Reminder* Please post updated map.
Or reply if you are busy, I still like your work!

 

[xxxtrickyxxx]

Alright, so I didnt intend on posting the map yet since its currently in the debugging stage but to help speed up the process of getting all the bugs fixed I am going to go ahead and post the map to download. This map is open source meaning you can open it up but is not guaranteed to be working 100% nor stable as it is the early testing stage of version 1.2 of non beta.

Anyone who may download the new version or test it will notice some big changes and a lot of smaller changes so comment what you think about it and any bugs that may have risen. If hosting online or even a friend or two, I highly suggest using List Checker to host starting through LAN and typing the /hostbnet command to allow players online to join your game and see it on the custom maps otherwise there will be quite a bit of lag.

Download - Here (v1.20b is latest update)

Great Gamer

Great Gameplay, only problem for me is that.... my computer lags

 

[xxxtrickyxxx]

well, the newest update should improve the framerate quite a bit as it no longer dips when an additional player joins and a full house is now fully playable through LC. if you have a really old computer you can try running in a lower resolution or turning down some of your video settings such as texture, shadows, and particles. I myself have an average pc and i get atleast 30 frames per second at all times nomatter how many players.

Update-

Looking for specific individuals interested in participating in a 10 player stress match also being used as a recording session for a new showcase video. If you are interested post below but only if you have some interest in this map and have patience to get through the learning curve of the controls. It is also a good idea to have a pretty good internet connection or else it is going to be difficult for you to play. I have no set date or time yet but it would be sometime this week if I can get any people.

The match will be approximately 30 minutes as will the video but I havent decided entirely how I am going to record it yet. The reason I am requesting members here is a public match results in too many people leaving due to not understanding how to play therefor I would suggest anyone who may want to play to be sure and get used to the new controls beforehand while I will work on getting the host (me) or someone better that will result in the smoothest possible game.

Again, please post below if you are interested... I will need 9 people to help verify the playability as well as recording it for a video. I could also use some help or suggestions by anyone who is good at putting together videos after it is recorded. I will most likely save it as a replay so that all 10 players can be shuffled through (I think?). And then simply fraps that so it will record smoother than if I simply played with FRAPS running the whole game.

 

[PureOwnage]

Interested but can you put the Video Date to Saturday EST?
or
Can I just submit a gameplay video to put into your vid?

 

[Renendaru]

I can probably do it if it's sometime on this weekend, I'm getting a new power-pack for my computer on Friday.
