Description
TL;DR = I'm retired, the map is what I had before I quit. If it is broke, then it remains that way till someone else takes the reigns.



This is the last time I rewrite this description... Also in "proper english" for everyone's ease.

I mapped for this game for nearly 11 years. I went from knowing nothing, having to much ambition and producing garbage... to learning the inner workings of the source engine, studying maps and the genre itself for better understanding, homing my craft and my skills... to still produce garbage because I had to much ambition for my own good.

Every single map in my catalog is incomplete, buggy, laggy.
I know they are laggy, I didn't truly learn out the optimization system of source and how it worked till the tale end of my mapping life.
I know they are bugged, I didn't have coding knowledge and I didn't make friends during this time, so I had no one to confide in.
I know they are incomplete, I was to ambitious. I had so much planned and so much already partly made, but I never learned how to stop and actually look back to see if anything I had made was even worth it.

The experience is not going to be great, maybe not even good, I know this. But I still want these maps out there for the history. Every single one a snap shot of something I was trying at the time, a look into a younger mind of someone still learning the ropes and drowning in her own dreams.

Hate it if you want, it is you time, your taste, your opinion... I will not stop you.
Voice your hate if you want, I don't look at the comments anymore... I stopped looking years ago.
Rage about how bad I was else where if you want. We are all just trying to live our lives, and I decided a long time ago that this isn't where I am going to live anymore.

I value the time I spent, the 24,000 recorded hours in the authoring tools. I value the lessons I learned, the skills I now have, the memories I gained. It wasn't the best time in my life, so could say it was even the worst point, but I can safely move on... without feeling the need to ever again look back... and know that I left my mark no matter how small.
Because for every one of you that feels the need to be rude, hateful, vindictive... I know there are the silent few that did enjoy it, and that is more valuable.

I closed this book a while ago, but now I can finally shelve it.
Maybe you will see me again, making my own games, or maybe not... Is the beauty of the unknown and unwritten future.
I bid you all a wonder day, a valid existence, and pray we all reach better pastures~

OH!... And always remember... if you really hate the map that much?
Decompile it, improve it, make it your own. Create art, enjoy the process, view it from our side.

Old Description
-----------------------

Deep into the swampy unknown, the survivors come across a stranded, desolate ship... The S.S. Landbreaker, a research vessel that was struck with the infection on its return trip... With no one left to pilot... it eventually crashed and settled in the Everglades... Overtaken by the years alone...

But the power is still on?... Not only that, but there are sounds coming from the ship... They almost sound like a Voice!... With what seems like their last and only chance... The survivors board the vessel, for better or for worse...


Map was made in two months for a community driven contest... So it will be a bit rough around the edges...

I think you are getting vhat everyone else gets... ze escape is coming immediately... if you go to ze helipad you can just escape and leave...

I don't know vhy that happens or vhen it broke... but I've heard that complaint few times now...

Or while I was doing the computer thing, it played the escape music, meaning it has infinite spawn
Breastie 22 Dec, 2019 @ 1:22pm 
Maybe that's only the finale after you get to call the radio, so the other thanks that spawned during the computer thing weren't even part of finale
OvercookedSushi  [author] 22 Dec, 2019 @ 1:04pm 
For ze finale script...
------------
A_CustomFinale_StageCount = 7

A_CustomFinale1 = CUSTOM
A_CustomFinaleValue1 = "ship_finale_power_search"
A_CustomFinale2 = DELAY
A_CustomFinaleValue2 = 10
A_CustomFinale3 = PANIC
A_CustomFinaleValue3 = 2
A_CustomFinale4 = TANK
A_CustomFinaleValue4 = 1
A_CustomFinale5 = PANIC
A_CustomFinaleValue5 = 3
A_CustomFinale6 = TANK
A_CustomFinaleValue6 = 1
A_CustomFinale7 = DELAY
A_CustomFinaleValue7 = 8
-------------

for ze "ship_finale_power_search"
-------------
ProhibitBosses = true
-------------

There should only be two tanks that spawn during ze finale... if more than two show up in total... then something is broken or conflicting...
OvercookedSushi  [author] 22 Dec, 2019 @ 12:58pm 
Hmm... Let me check ze script real quick... see if I am remembering right...
Breastie 22 Dec, 2019 @ 12:39pm 
Maybe. I killed two tanks while doing the computers oh god its finally over and then oh no now I have to hold on here until rescue and more tanks are coming and I wasn't able to run for very long when the bots go down. Perhaps it's easier with actual players.
OvercookedSushi  [author] 22 Dec, 2019 @ 12:19pm 
This it vas something on your end... Ze scripts in that map are static... is not physically possible for that to happen vithout something interfering...
If this sounds rude I do apologise, but it quite literally is not possible on its own... Might be some kind of confliction or is you vere playing on realism I think ze finale script breaks on realism?... I haven't mapped in 2~3 years... so my knowledge is rusty...
Breastie 22 Dec, 2019 @ 11:55am 
Well for me, the special infected and tanks were endless without any pauses
OvercookedSushi  [author] 22 Dec, 2019 @ 11:36am 
There is no infinite spawning tanks... not unless you simply don't go to ze rescue once is arrived...
OvercookedSushi  [author] 22 Dec, 2019 @ 11:36am 
If it vorks... you activate computers till you have found ze five that vere randomly selected to be ze five you need... There are no tanks during that...
It is then I believe one or maybe two tank vaves, then helicopter shows up at helipad at top back of deck...
