================================================================ Title : Capture the Flag: Communique Filename : ctf_base.pk3 Author(s) : Tom 'Anavrin' Chen Release Date : 1/20/02 Email Address : anavrin@planetwolfenstein.com Website : WildFyre Productions - http://www.planetwolfenstein.com/wf/ Game : Return to Castle Wolfenstein Multiplayer File size : 2 MB Recommended Players : 16-24 ================================================================ * Construction * Map base : Communique: mp_base.map Editors used : GTK Radiant 1.1.1 Other utilities used : SDK entities, shaders, models, & compilers. Known bugs : 1. The two flags may change into the same colour; It's in-game code stuff I don't have access to. It happens when the flag carrier returns or touches his own flag. The game thinks he picked it up. It *does not* affect gameplay. 2. If a flag gets taken, the flag carrier killed, and the flag returned, all in a span of 100 milliseconds, then the capture area's access may stay open. It's a penalty for trying to whore a flag when you barely have any health. :) 3. The (!) icon doesn't appear beside the Axis flag carrier in the score screen or the hud. Another in-game coding problem. However, the (!) does appear above the carrier's head, so it won't affect gameplay. ================================================================= * Play Information * - Requires full version RtCW to run. - Place the .pk3 file in the folder of X:\RtCW installation folder\Main\ - Type "\map ctf_base" in the RtCW console * Description * It's almost identical to mp_base. I've applied some minor brush tweaks that you probably won't notice. Heck, pretty much the only things that were modified are the two flag bases. Capture the flag is all done via the map's script file and entity info. The source code isn't even available at this very moment. Great stuff since you don't even need to download a mod. One note is that capturing the flag requires bringing the flag to the capture area (the coloured light), rather than to the base flag. If your flag's not at base, the door will close, and you won't be able to capture. ================================================================= * Thanks to * ID software, Nerve Software, & Gray Matter.
