getting a little fed up, been trying to figure this one out for a while. at a completely random interval (changes every time i play the sound!), the sound will randomly stop, then play from the beginning again, even though the PlayLocalSound is only run once. i'm assuming it has something to do with the alias, but i don't know what could be making it conflict. no other song is playing!

PLEASE NOTE: this is a Black Ops soundalias!

i noclipped all the way out of the map so i couldn't hear anything anymore, and the song played through just fine. i feel like it has something to do with zombies voices colliding but...
here's my soundalias.

as you can see, the first animation is within the game, but for some reason the clip floats around and weird things like that, as well as the animation just overall being inaccurate (subdued?) in comparison to what we see in Maya, in the second link.

i've tried exporting the reload animation by selecting tag_torso, tag_cambone, then the hierarchy, but it didn't change anything at all.
(i'm well aware of the material issue, i'm trying to deal with this animation issue first)

We deleted the old thread because Rizzo is bad at updating it. (u scrub), so as a result I made the thread.

What is Arrival?: Arrival is a new custom zombies map created by Jrrizzo666 and I. The goal is to provide enjoyable gameplay while providing good-looking visuals. We'll keep the standards of official zombies maps--a medium armory, with three wonder weapons (Ray Gun, Mark 2, and a super sekrit one.) Alongside it, we'll be providing an immersive story and a cast of brand new characters. Our armory will consist of weapons from Black Ops 2 and Ghosts, with official anims and their respective sounds, as well as a soundtrack.

Story: It began in 2014 when a team of scientists began excavation of a large site of 115 in Page, Arizona. The expedition was a huge success, and it looked as if the element would pave the way for incredible scientific advancement. However, the government was more interested in using the element for advancements in weaponry. After attempting to create a biological weapon with concentrated 115, the mixture infected some of the scientists and reanimated the corpses of those who had been used as guinea pigs in the experiments.

For those that like to read, a features list:

39 weapons <- May be cut down to a smaller number.
3 wonder weapons: Ray Gun, Mark 2, and our classified weapon.
A cast of 4 new playable characters, as well as 3 NPC characters that will contribute to the story.
A playable easter egg.
Musical easter egg featuring "Always Running" by Kevin Sherwood.
A mini-boss that will appear every few rounds, more powerful than Brutus, but less powerful than that god forsaken Panzer Soldat.
Nine perks: Bo1 Perks and Electric Cherry.
Wunderfizz
Origins-styled Mystery Box.
Dynamic cutscene intro.
In-game animated introduction.
Custom-made FX for all events.
A layout that requires a bit more strategy than just running in circles in a train.
Custom Pack-a-Punch texture.
A very well-balanced arsenal tweaked to fit with their real life counter-parts.
And more unannounced information...

I've gotten help from many people, so sorry if I missed you guys!

I might add the armory list to the thread, we still need to finalize that list before we do that though.


Dr. Bot, I want to be a beta tester! pls.
Probably not. Beta will be a closed one because I don't like people who leak stuff. We won't trust every john, david, and nigerian prince out there to test the map. Mostly, developers will be the only people accessible to the beta; aka, everyone that's in that Credits list you see above. Want the beta? Contribute to us in some way. Until then, we won't have a beta until near launch.

A month before we launch, we'll be running a "Stress Test" beta test. The goal of this test is to make sure that the map can run on a variety of different computers. As a result, you won't be able to play much--you'll simply be running a benchmark build of the map and give us feedback on your framerate.

We DO need Voice Actors; more information here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkpJC0mCIZU
Feel free to send me or Jrrizzo a PM on here or Youtube.

hiya. i've got a question
is it possible to create an image-based ammo counter type system? i want to make it kind of like that of Origins, to flit in a cool looking font that sets a tone. i also want to know if it is possible for me to change the font used to a different one? i want to use a default Windows font which is that of Black Ops 2--Agency FB and Agency FB Bold.

before you ask, on the subject of the image-based ammo counter using Origins materials, i do own black ops 2 and have those exact images in my possession. i am not asking for assets, i'm asking for scripting help.

hiya. encountered a very fun error in my map. a major lighting issue that has been boggling my mind for about a week now.
before you ask: i have placed light grid volumes in every area of the map, as well as reflection probes and sealing the map off with caulk textures.



that image is with sunisprimarylight set to 0, but when set to 1, all models on the map, including viewmodels, will take the ambient light's color. right now between the center and radius of this specific light, the viewmodel will take the ambient light when between the center and radius of the light. it's very obscure.

attempts to change _color to pure white causes the same undesirable issue.

started getting this after i tried to add a custom weapon to my map that wasn't defined in zombiemode_weapons. i added it to that file, but for some reason i'm STILL getting the error.

here's the script and the trigger_use as shown in radiant:


full error details:

hiya. requesting a bit of assistance here. recently i had to import a handful of models from Black Ops 2 for use in my map, but for some reason, even after creating the materials properly with proper names in the asset manager, the models will always show up completely black.

i created the materials the same method for the kap-40 in the picture, and for some reason those work just fine! weird enough, the rock and door models will also show up with the proper materials in the asset viewer and Radiant.



Asset Manager info:



as you can see, everything is labeled as the asset manager requests. the material names match that of Maya. but, the model will still remain black.
