Introduction
While some of you have been kept in the dark, a handful of our members have been working towards releasing a new mod. We all know that Demo is going to die out, but the least we can do is release some good mods for this good game. Covenant Armada Mod Team members White Knightmare, TaxiSerivce, Mota-lev, Noodle, and myself have been lazily beta-ing and molding this mod into shape. Focused mainly on gameplay that would benefit the small community of players, Depot was created.
Description
The map is based in a small covenant storage checkpoint, where they transfer supplies ship-surface. Geometry makes it look like an even circle, but the map is split diagonally with two levels. Lower level where the flags are, and the top level which only is on 3 sides of the circle, and gives sniper and vantage points. Teleporters lead to those cliffs respectively. (yes i realized i spelled geometry wrong in the picture, forgive me u_u.)
You might be thinking, hey that's truth and rec's BSP, can't i just get out and go fool around in areas not in the play-space? No. Invisible barriers block off anyway to get out of the map, keeping people in the play-space efficiently. Most of the mod is scenery, but some weapon additions and/or modifications have been made. Turrets that are defaulted-ly scattered in points on the map have been nurfed, and are in places very easy to grenade. Sniper's contrail has been changed to purple. Assault Rifle makes no appearance in this map, and it's main-firearm job has been placed on the plasma rifle. The plasma rifle is now accurate, and can kill someone with the entire clip hitting the person. We all know the lag will make it hard, since there is projectile-time. Many would say the Plasma Rifle is over-powered, but really it's just a counter to a pistol taking over the map. An energy sword was originally planned, but because of swordedit's eating map disorder, it is replaced by a skull. A skull weapon that kills in one slash. Basic demo energy sword but in skull format. Weapon spawns are Plasma Rifle and Pistol in ctf or pro loadouts, and in slayer, pistol spawns.
Easter Eggs
Two gameplay "easter eggs" are hidden in the map, as always. Finding them and getting to them is very hard. Some of the team member's names also make appearances in places you have to find out.
Glitches
Graphics cards change how the ocean around the map is shown, so it might be derp or cool depending on shaders and graphics. There are some ways to get out of the map, as they are unfixable, but will most likely not be executed while in an actual playing-game. There is a derp hill marker, even though the map was made with King Of The Hill in mind. The hill stretches back into the bsp and allows you to stand on the top cliff area to get points. Oh well. Also, for some randomshit reason, the map is joinable without the mod, but of course they will be flying through the air in bloodgulch.
Trivia and other shit
*The invisible barriers surrounding the top cliffs block anyone from getting out of the map, but do not block bullets or grenades. Bullets and grenades do not bounce off of them, giving unfair advantaged, but actually go through the barrier. (Thanks to TaxiSerivce)
*You can still see some plants or something of bloodgulch if you know where to look
*This map has been an hour of work til release for about a month and a half. Shit.
Conclusion and Download
There you go, that's what we've been working on for the past couple of months. Enjoy!

I remember hearing about it and getting kicked off a server when they were testing it.

Re: [Mod] Depot
Added to HDM. Also, I sugest adding information to the Covenant Armada Mod Team page at HDM:
Covenant Armada Mod Team page at HDM
Depot Mod Release at HDM
Covenant Armada Mod Team page at HDM
Depot Mod Release at HDM
Either you are groping for answers, or you are asking God and listening to Jesus.
Re: [Mod] Depot

I'll add the HDM link to the OP for an alternative download.

Re: [Mod] Depot
ooo cool, reminds me of the circular arena maps in marathon. Are you going to be hosting the map this weekend? Can't wait to try it.
Re: [Mod] Depot
^Hey Zap! Yeah, I'm a bit swamped with work the last couple days, and my broken ankle doesn't help. But yeah, I'll be hosting it over the weekend very most likely.
Haha wow I don't know... It started A BIT later than that. And uh I do not remember correctly...I'll look into it if you'd like. Pshh, lion. Too bad demo maps can't be played with on full (maybe yet.)Mgalekgolo wrote:I feel like this was indev before firefight was so. How did you get the grav lift to show?
