Aliens vs Predator Classic Mapping Stream #9 (4 hrs, No Commentary)
Working on a remake of my old multiplayer map that I released almost 25 years ago.
In this stream I finally start actually placing down weapons, spawn points, and lots and lots of props. There's a lot to be said about the art of prop layouts, but I mostly just followed ideas I had when developing the map.
Props have to be added as shapes via CCAMain, unless they're a common type of prop like weapons, ammo, health pickups, or certain lights. Those technically still have to be imported, but Inteng can do this automatically for you if you're missing the shape.
I get most of the objects I want placed in the map during this stream other than lights and sounds. I also spot fix a few module linking issues.
Another big thing I do this stream is link Adjacent Modules, which is required for AI pathfinding.
At the end of the stream I do a quick Solo-Coop test. Not enough spawns, gonna have to up the rate.
