Need some sample maps

[snake-biscuits]

TF2Maps' A Boojum Snark's Ultimate Mapping Pack contains some great example maps, laying out entities, models & gamemode logic prefabs

It'd be perfect if we could get something like this for MRVN-Radiant TF2Maps.net also hosts a number of themed texture packs extending what's available in TF2 Not suggesting we do the same here, but sample maps presenting the textures & models used in each map would be neat

NOTE: GitHub isn't a file hosting service, we should only upload the essentials

TODO: break tasks down into sub-issues

Each map should have documentation explaining what files are linked (scripts etc.) & how it works

TASKS:

• [ ] TitanfallOnline/maps/:
  • [ ] mp_base.map basic Titanfall Online multiplayer map required
    • [ ] spawnpoints for both teams
      • [ ] info_dropship_start round start spawns
      • [ ] info_player_start pilot spawns w/ classic MP disabled
      • [ ] info_titan_start for titan modes & titan resupply
  • [ ] theme zoos showcasing materials, props & even some vingettes (small room or foliage cluster etc.)
    • [ ] theme_swamp.map based on mp_swampland & ???
• [ ] TItanfall2/maps/:
  • [x] mp_base.map basic Titanfall2 multiplayer map required:
    • [x] spawnpoints for both teams
      • [x] info_dropship_start round start spawns
      • [x] info_player_start pilot spawns w/ classic MP disabled
      • [x] info_titan_start for titan modes & titan resupply
  • [ ] mp_pickups.map weapon pickups demo (ideally use .rson to use built in scripts)
  • [ ] mp_assembly_line.map moving platforms & elevators, like Into the Abyss map 2
  • [ ] mp_gamemode_*.map prefabs for all the logic needed for each mode will also require .nm (Recast NavMesh) & .ain (Source Engine AI Node Graph) for each
    • [ ] mp_gamemode_aitdm.map Attrition
    • [ ] mp_gamemode_fd.map Frontier Defense
    • [ ] mp_gamemode_ffa.map Free For All
    • [ ] mp_gamemode_lf.map Live Fire
  • [ ] sp_base.map base essentials for a single-player map
    • [ ] spawnpoint
    • [ ] at least one checkpoint
    • [ ] trigger_level_transition to end the level
• [ ] ApexLegends/maps/
  • [ ] mp_rr_base.map basic BR map
  • [ ] mp_rr_train.map World's Edge train example & breakdown

MRVN-entities has now reached the point where we can experiment with entity definitions & start exploring how each entity functions

We should be able to build small maps / sections of an entity zoo to explore how each entity functions

VIS falls apart when map geo gets complex / large, but load of entities should be fine so long as we respect edict limits

[snake-biscuits]

r1o theme zoos could prove difficult, as currently textures do not get loaded / cached for some unknown reason r2 zoos might require figuring out how to cache a map's specific rpak, idk how that works maybe Northstar mods can tell the filesystem to cache internal rpaks? iirc Icepick mounts everything

Filesystem is pain and could probably be documented better, we best talk to Northstar and TFO:Revive people about fs docs

maps/r2/mp_base.map should be really easy be sure to write up a guide to go along with it

zoo_ziplines.map should make a decent equivalent sdk versions of official maps (decompiles) shouldn't be distributed imo, but select samples from official maps would be very useful more effort, less distributing copyrighted material without permission

While we dont want to ship the entirety of mp_common I think we could ship world/dev/dev_gray_512 to make these maps look better.

Obviously we'll want to ship our own base assets with the modding clients down the line.

Good idea imo, using rpak textures so we can play with lighting would be great in general

I might have it set up in MRVN already, I’ll have to check

But as was mentioned in discord, I’m having a skill issue with textures atm
