Meteor Shower!

I was exploring my timberland mod, and I was able to capture a Meteor Shower on tape! It was an awesome experience!

so... will that be happening as we play??????????
if so HELP!!!!!!!!
+ it will be hard for players to tell whether they where hit by a meteor or a tank shell!!!!!!

wow very nice Nick

It was moved to hit the topside of the map (only available by porting there), so wont hit people in the main part of the map. However having so many hits and explosions constantly going off causes the games FPS to drop, so I have lowered the frequency of the meteors, less dramatic, but still atmospheric, the meteors have also crashed into a science station, and destroyed it as you will see

I saw it, looks ok, Moon was there, now it is a big planet up there.
Very interresting map though, till next time Nick.

i'm not sure that would have been a meteor nick!!!

Ive modded the sky tag to show space - as its a moonland mod - therefore it has a big planet and a moon, AND the meteors

Hmmm strange life thretening meteor shower... I blame the matrians

it must be the work of those crafty martians !!!

Nice work Nick.
I take it that if you join without the modded map you only see whatever projectile you used to make them ? From the look of the explosions I'd guess, plasma pistol shot, charged bolt or plasma cannon ?

Are the meteors in the download version as well ?? You should be able to delete them from the download map and just leave them in the server side map, that may stop some of the lag that you are getting.

Thats interesting that you say that, because I originally had 4 emmitters of charged bolts, which caused massive lagg, so I reduced it to two, and lowered the frequency of the bolts, and went into the server before pat had a chance to update the server....I saw all 4 emmitters instead of the two that I had in my client side map.

I'll remove the emmitters from the download, as once its in the server, the client wont need it, but I wonder if the chaged bolt will still have the boulder MOD2 refference.

EDIT: thinking about it if the download still has the mod2 of the boulder IN the charged bolt tag, then it would still show, all I have to do is remove the emmiter itself

.... er yhe. When you have finished doing that can some one think of how we can survive this alien driven meteor storm. I have it on good authority that you can make an effective defense with pants elstic.




Nice one Nick!

AHAHAHA MARK THATS BRILLIANT!

I forgot about that book, you'll have to show Luke the meteors in the map!

lol v good mark!
