Status update! Real life has not been kind to me and I am having trouble staying motivated. I have the next week and half totally free (at the moment...) so I still have a decent chance of finishing on time. Word of warning though, this map is not going to be combat heavy.

Status update again: The Oll Stone will not be completed in time. Over the last few days I've been working on a speedmap speedmap prologue though to have something to submit. Details on that below. Anyway I feel I could have very well completed The Oll Stone if I had been able to stay focused, but unfortunately real life events got in the way of that, and once you lose that momentum it is difficult to recover. For any who may be concerned The Oll Stone will never be finished I give my word that it will be completed by the end of this year, probably sooner.

Anyway about the speedmap speedmap: It is intended to a be prologue to The Oll Stone, though not really necessary for the storyline of The Oll Stone. The story for the prologue is as follows: You are on a boat headed from Australia to the submarine pen where you will begin your journey. There will be three maps (lol).

beta version of speedmap crapmap

ibyn_beta.zip (Save As)

known bugs

• moons in the skybox look terrible (will be fixed in final release)
• map is terrible (will not be fixed sorry)

There are three maps, start with ebd_usp10_oll_ibyn.unr, not the other two. You will know when you are done when you get an error message about teleporter destinations (for connecting to any supposed hub).

Full version in a few hours. The first post will be updated at that time.

Copied and Pasted from first post:

Beta Version (~11 AM GMT): ibyn_beta.zip (Save As)

There are three maps, start with ebd_usp10_oll_ibyn.unr, not the other two. You will know when you are done when you get an error message about teleporter destinations (for connecting to any future hub map). Also I made the map with U227g OpenGL and realized at the last minute that is looks god awful in UT436 Direct3D but there is nothing that can be done now.

Funniest and most creative map ever

How long did this take to make? Also, when will we see the rest of The Oll Stone?

very nice intro, and what a creative second map

I'm glad you goys like it.It is tough to say since I didn't really time it, but it took a while. I'd ballpark it in somewhere around 12-24 hours. Sadly it is kind of apparent (to me at least) what parts got twenty minutes and what parts I spent hours on.

As for the rest of The Oll Stone, I posted a few posts back:The quote was kind of in the middle of a block of text though so it was pretty easy to miss. In fact, it will probably be completed much sooner than the end of the year but it is better to say the end of the year then release it early then to say next week and release it in a few months.

That was rather fun LOL

I was expecting an epic volcano map and got this awesome skaarj rave instead! i didn't notice any subwoofers, will play again.

Also, loved the chef fucker brute model
