mg_cubefield

I have been making this map for a while, most of my time spent on the map was just tweaking. The core gameplay was made quicker then the visuals and commands.


Not many people knew about it, unless they asked. So the testers are people that have experience with mapping/assisting and I found them quite useful. I decided to add a story line that only comes into the gameplay right at the very end.


There are 4 difficulties that, when beaten, unlock the next one (An extra button in spawn to choose). And then there is a fifth that functions very differently to the rest. Each difficulty has sequences, timers and different-sized cubes.

Easy
Normal
Hard
Nasty

Unbeatable


Once you reach unbeatable, you can only play on that mode until you beat it; when unbeatable is, well, beaten then the game restarts with a small change.



And don't worry actionfags, combat does blend in to the gameplay....
if you can get past unbeatable.



Here are some screenshots:

Well, me and knife tested the map privately. (and some other people)
Some bugs are going to get fixed. However as for now, even if it's not updated it seems playable, however don't go around in a full server at unbeatable because it'll lagg alot.

1. Use the entity tool to place an entity called "point_servercommand" (I'm going to call it bob as an example).
2. Give the entity a name.
3. As the output as another entity, put this:
On____
Bob
Command
Say blablabla
0

Warning: Don't ever use , ' or " because they corrupt the file. If you need something to replicate speech marks use *
