I'll keep that in mind, thank you so much!

Also, avoid using spaces in filenames. Use _ (underscore) instead. Like the custom_story_settings.cfg

Thanks but I see my files like that, with the _ and no spaces :O

I mean, things like your commentaries.

Get used to using lower-cased and _ instead of spaces, as it looks a lot nicer, and it gives a better overview of your files if you name them consistently.

Same for your story folder.
Instead of "SacroiD Test map" use "SacroiDTestMap", "STM" or even "sacroid_test_map".



Also, I've released a new version of my installer.

You might want to create a new installer using that, as it fixes some things (Like your image not being shown), and it now displays the description too.

Nice, thank you again!, you are great lol

Spoiler below!
I'm sure that laugh at the end was from Thriller right?

Also some game play things I had...

Spoiler below!
When the Brute spawned I saw him appear in the smoke so I legged it behind the double door closet you had there and just waited for him to get, also when I leaned out I saw him despawn, it's a really weird thing to watch one just vanish for no reason. So I was thinking maybe you could increase the path more to do with variables like I did, I assume you were meaning for us to go through the door, whereas I just legged it left and waited.

Don't get me wrong, it's awesome and dark and I'd love to play it again and if you update I'm really looking forward to see all the cool little tweaks and changes you add in.

I started playing through this game today but stopped because I want to play through it with my friend lol. I'm putting your map on my list of mods to play after I beat the game though Smile.

RE: My First ever Map (testing encounters and more) - sacroid - 09-16-2010

Nice to hear your opinions! thanks!

@Spudd: This was only a test map to get used to the editor, I don't think I will update it nor nothing. I'm now making a serious Story, when the first level is out, I will upload images.

Yes,

the laugh at the end is from Thriller Tongue

One question, Spudd:
Spoiler below!
When you saw the brute, did get scared a bit? I want to know if it scares people or not, if it doesn't I'll try to make better effects to shit people's pants Tongue

Haha yeah it worked at making me jump and gasp. ^^

Also I didn't want you to take what I said wrong, I mean I can't do the pathing very well but I still wanted to throw in my 2 cents. <3

lol, thanks Big Grin
In the normal game, some enemies just simply despawn like my brute, but with a door sound, next time I'll put the sound. Wink
