I would encourage you to make a map even if it eventually does not become a part of the RFU4 project. New maps keep the game interesting and alive.

Ghostkid, your welcome to make a map. Send an IMS to Beatonator and let him know your mapping. The theme is MUSIC. Your map must be based on music, not just have music. If you need clarfication on that, let me know.
Deadline is looming, so map quick!

i can only think of one thing. you pc needs some updating.
seriously tho, i just got done testing this map by myself, and it ran as smooth as most do.(my fps never went below 70) i love the concept for this one, but ive found numerouse issues. mostly with texturing and lighting. if i spoke french, id go into it a little more, or offer to walk through it with him. if anyone here speaks french they should walk through it with him, and show him where the textures are all tweaked. i know he knows some english, i just think itd be easier for him to understand in his own language.
As far as it locking up your dedi...are you running servassist4? how much ram you have? ill load it in my dedi later to see if it messes with the dedicated commandserrr sumthin. |

TBH I don't think I'm going to get my map in on time
Not only do I not have the inspiration, I don't have the ideas.
If someone would tell me an idea which gets the shizzle burning through my veins then I'll probably finish it but...  |

what was the idea you originally came up with? let us know, and maybe we can post thoughts on it here.
also, PM me or other mappers with an MSN addy, and we can add you to talk there, and test with ya for ideas.  |

I have the same problem here. At first I tryed to start up a server with the level and after 5 seconds in told me to instert CD2 of RedFaction. I have a no CD crack for the game so normally it don't have to be in (my version is not illegal, but i don't want to keep constantly keep swithing CD's betwine RF and other ones)
So I picked my CD2 and inserted it in my comp, and yet again tryed to start a server with the level. Now the game started and after 5 seconds the level crashed!. I normally never have any problems with Red Faction crashing. so i went in to RF again twice to try and start a game with the level, also one time with out the music. but still it crashed after 5 seconds.
wondering what this could be i opend up the level in the editor and noticed that there are a lot of movers in the map, and also alot of decals. I don't know if this could be the problem. but seeing that its also has problem with the map. It sure is something that needs fixxin!
The level looked quite great in the editor. |

well. i just started a server, for monsterman to join, and it still crashed him. i then went and added his custom hud and stuff to my RF, and tested that. it felt like it was gonna crash as soon as the music started, but ran fine after that. his pc (except for the RAM) is better and faster than mine, so im sure its not that. ill keep looking into things, and see what i can find.
EDIT: after looking into the music event, ive noticed a few things there. first when any dead isnt checked in the when dead event. second, its linked to a 5 second delay(which happens to be the time it takes everyone to crash.)  third the music start is checked to loop, and then linked to a delay that is the length of the track, then linked to a second delay, linked to music_stop event , then back to the first 5 second delay. lastly, the audio is converted to a "2" channel "16" bit 8000mhz pcm wav file. dont know if that could be a problem, but i usually use "8"bit "mono". just a few things to look into.
im gonna create a different type of audio loop, and send it to monsterman when he's ready, and we'll test it. ill let ya all know how it works. |

dankone, it's my actual idea I have the problem with, It sucks.
The idea is a mall with some pushable buttons to play the music clips, but... It sorta sucks.
i could use a new idea *WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE HINT HINT* |

UPDATE on ANGEs\' map.
i replaced the weird music event with a working one, and added the audio to the maps vpp. it works fine.
sent it to monsterman, and it worked fine for him also. im gonna PM ANGE with my msn addy, so he can have a look at what i did. hopefully he\'ll be thankful, and change it so that everyone can play this delightful map.
