Porter2455 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Disclaimer: I'm no wiz at hammer. I know this is obvious, but it needs to be said before the list of maps needed to be updated gets even larger. I know the one who needn't be mentioned was the one who did the node placing for supply crates, but is a programmer required for this, or could a mapper do it as well? I may sound ignorant on how easy/hard adding supply crates to maps is, but I really think the supply crate is a great addition for HG, so to not see it on all new maps added bothers me. Thanks.

relavis Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Supply crates are entities and are added in by the server. Mappers can't add them in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryze Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Basically you have to go map by map and get the coordinates of the supply crate spots and add that to a specific file. I know it took Trazix and HST 5 hours to get the 100 or so maps we had back then done. This will probably take some time to get done. If anyone is interested in helping we can try and figure something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could mappers request which specific spots that the supply crate should be placed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find the spots you prefer if it's your map and try to make the file yourself if you can. I forget the extension you'd have to research it. We have no devs rn to do it and I don't think it'll be hard for a mapper. It has be to be uploaded by an SM anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supply crate positions are set via the bot pathing weapon, anyone with access to this weapon can place the node. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevinyock Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I would be happy to help in the decision on where to place the supply crate since some of the locations of the map are either somewhat indefensible or they are in a good spots but I think we could move them in a better location.
