I've downloaded the demo, looks pretty good... the atmposphere is tense and I know Baal intend and will achieve to make this map great.

Well, I was really interested into the flashlight system and how it will incorporate into the game, but I guess it doesn't really matter now. I like it in the game which you see a shadow fly past on the wall when you turn on your flashlight

the atmosphere gets more tense when there are lost souls :S

I usualy navigated by sound and/or monster light flashes

Well I have been thinking about the flashlight thing, It would be great feature, if I figure out a proper way to implement it so its adds a nice feeling to the game I will. What I would probably do is put a burrowed unit under each player. This would be the normal field of few for each player. Then when you turn on a flashlight you see more of the area around you. The only problem is again the implecations. If anyone has any ideas just PM me I'll give you credit in the map when it is finished.

I doubt there's a way to implement a flashlight.

Try using a unit running around the player called 'flashlight beam'

If you want to do this, you need some sort of zoning system. And I think at least 3 locations will work.

Would blind work?
You could always Blind your unit for the flashlight and it wouldn't give you much time to react because you can only see the unit as it comes right beside you?

You can use an Observer or something as the "light" and move it around... You can blind the observer so it would be good... You also put a location around it or something to stop it from going to high walls...

Chu, Zoning System?

To create the effect of having vision ahead of the players movement you have to detect the direction he's moving in and create/remove a unit ahead of the player to give him vision of the hallway ahead. You need a zoning system to do this, I don't think just a grid of units will allow you to do this.

ya i was kinda thinking of something like that but wouldn't you need a grid system... but... If you used a grid system it would use even more triggers for finding out which way he is moving... Also moving diagonaly could be a problem...

One major problem would be that when you walk to a wall... because you are moving in that direction the unit or "light" Will be created ON the wall... That would require even more triggers to stop...

Thats alot of triggers... Im sure there is a way though...

I just tested the map with baal, looks bloody awesome. Can be hard at some spots and ezy at others but overall very good and somewhat like doom. So can't wait till full release

I am trying to actually to get to about 80% completion before starting beta testing cause right now I am at about 65% percent. I am half way through the levels so it wont be too much longer.

I have finally hit a road block in the prodution of this map. The nook and crany thing. I have worked on fixing the problem for about half an hour now and yet no success to fixing it. Looks like this might be the only problem I will come across in the map. Hopefully I will fix this soon.

What problem are you talking about?
