Point of Existence 2 Holiday Map Pack Released

Re: Point of Existence 2 Holiday Map Pack Released

are those skies in the BF2 folders?

City of the Dead is an original skybox that I made. Deliverance is a BF2 sky....and all the rest are from POE2's own collection of skyboxes. The skybox for Hell Awaits is one that wasn't used in POE2.

Yes it is. Alot of people complained about the first version I made so I went back in and cleaned it out lol. It's not as congested as it was before.

Anywho, for those that just want to watch the unaltered in-game preview flyby video of the map pack before you take that big risk and download the maps...here it is:

Looks great, can't wait to try them out! Hopefully, they'll get the community reenergized.
Also, if we want to put them into rotation, do we just dump the files into the levels folder? Even for Linux? I assume so, but I try not to assume.

No, but as with all my previous maps, I always give them freely to the SP community to do their magic.

I do have SP enabled versions of City of the Dead and Deliverance for BF2 though....let me know if you want them.

Here is the deal with some of the maps....when I made them, I accidently created spawn points with capital letters which Linux boxes don't like.

Here is the solution:

use the lowercaseDir.py python script that comes with each bf2 server to make those maps with issues work.

But yes, all you have to do is drop the levels in your servers levels folder...and you can delete each client.zip from each level on your server as it only needs the info folder and the server.zip archive to run. Better yet, create the server files before you upload to your server.

Roger. That makes sense. I'll have my resident Linux expert handle that, lol.

Great stuff Jaws... was wondering why you were holding them back, after teasing us with em in the PoE forum

Looking forward to checking them out.

Great work, I encourage everyone to give these a try. We had a lot of fun with about 30 people on the trench map a couple weeks ago!

Re: Point of Existence 2 Holiday Map Pack Released

I have discovered an errant sunflare showing up in Night of the Damned lol and I don't know how to get rid of it because there is no flare texture or position set in the sky.con file. Strange thing is, it only shows up when playing on a dedicated server. When I test it on a local, it isn't there.

So I have a white sunflare on a night map lol.

If I rem this line out...will it crash the clients that connect? If I set it to the Rivne sunflare instead, will that work?

Phantom sunflares...gotta love em.
