Are you going to remake the levels of Rod1 in R3D? Or are there going to be completely new levels? The best would be a combination of old and new levels of course!

It will feature all of the original levels with enhancements. There will also be some new "mega levels" thrown in between and a different ending.

So, in other words, the game won't be completed in less than half an hour like original Rod? Rod is a very short game, IMHO.

Thats the exact problem yes. Basically Rod 1 can be finished in a tea break so there needs to quite a few levels.

There will be a chance for people to make levels for the game once the beta is out.

Why don't we all make as much maps as we can, send them to James and then he selects the best maps to include in the official map pack? That way we can all say that we took a part in the creation of Rod3D AND the game will be much longer! =D

I would not encourage level-specific weapons but if you feel something is missing we could make a game-wide weapon or two.

Anyway...

Now is your chance to add your own maps to the game. Just attach them here or contact me if you can't upload files...

I am writing the docs by the way which documents all of the scripting functions as well as giving an insight into how the scripting works.

The docs should be made available tomorrow.

But remember that maps don't need script, 2 of the beta maps don't use script apart from message triggers.

yes, the original ROD and even Meteor doesn't have a single script file and they are both great and popular

Seems that im the first one who submit a map =) though its very simple, you know, i was just practicing the things and came up with this. Its highly recommended to play it in FP view else it would be really easy.

You know, I think there should be made some sort of a 'Script Wizard'. Where you visually (other than typing) have to create some stuff and then you click 'Generate'. If the docs on all available commands are ready then perhaps I could make that in Flash or Javascript.

I played both maps too and aim to add as many maps as possible to game. Of course I may modify then slightly to make them fit in.

Hope people are happy with this, I will assume so by default.

Feel free to modify my map. It was only a test map but i think it can be a part of a map (if the resize map function works).

I think I'm going to wait with mapping until there are some more tiles and such.

Oh and James, if you are going to add these maps please modify them so that they all fit in a plotline, for example give the Rod buggy a reason to visit the enemy training camp. It would be very nice if all missions are somehow linked to eachother qua storyline (which was not really the case in original Rod).

Here is another map from me. It's a small one but I hope you will like it.

EDIT: Just noticed the player tank in the objects. This can be a perfect bot. It must be bound to waypoints, it must pick up weapons and ammo and of course it has to be an enemy. But there is a problem: When you bind the tank to waypoints and there are enemies near it, neither the tank goes in the direction of the waypoints, nor it shoots the enemies. The tank just doesn't know what to do.

I noticed the thing about the waypoints too. I had a couple of saucers bound to waypoints to circle around the player, but they just kind of stayed still and didn't shoot.

@Aleksanteri:
Everything(weapons, objects, etc...) is based on the game.c file. That's why it may be harder for some people to mod the game. I think about making something that looks exactly like the M1 objects and weapons editors, only at the end it doesn't generate a file, but a piece of script. At the end of the session just copy and paste the whole thing into a text file and call it 'game.c'. Great idea, isn't it? =)

Here's my first map! It's pretty tough, although it'll be even more so once James gets the wall laser working. I recommend playing from first person, just because it looks better. Also, you'll need a new tileset. There's only two tiles different, so if you don't want to replace the old one, just copy the texture from tile 5 to tiles 158 and 159, then change 158's height to 192 and 158's height to 128. Enjoy!

Edit: It's kind of appropriate for my 100th post, isn't it?

Edit 2: Oh, wow, the rod3d.til tileset is 3 megs...just change the tiles like I said above.

It doesn't work correctly for me... some tiles are missing (they're black)! Anyone else got this problem too?

EDIT: Oh sorry, I was too impatient to read the instructions XD
Can you please upload the new tileset too? I'm not that good in editing manually...

Anyway, I decided to make a few new tiles for Rod3D. They're all wall tiles, based on the stock 'Wall 2' tile, but with different colours and heights. They just make for a more visually interesting map, especially if there are a lot of buildings.
