Detailed description

Hello to the Sauerbraten community!

I have a new single player SAUERBRATEN map pack called "Private Stan Sauer: Run n' Gun". If you've played any early mpsp series maps, you'll know what to expect!

Get it here:

http://chronicfatiguemusic.com/mpsp9_final.zip

Or visit the website here and look around:

This is a rather large download, approximately 25mb. The map pack contains the following:

1. (3) single player maps (mpsp9a, mpsp9b, mpsp9c)

2. 200+ new MitaMAN textures (including normal and spec maps) along with a few new and reworked textures from the loopix, noctua, and g-pack texture collections.

3. Mask textures for several of the mitaman models included from the original "Army of One" (mpsp6) map pack.

4. New doors, fence, elevator and floor board mitaman models.

5. Several DCP models (light, grates, switch, etc...) that were not part of any CUBE or Sauerbraten release.

6. A texture/model config template (mpsp9_template.cfg) to make it easy to use the new textures / models in your own map.

I tried to make the textures as "real world looking" as possible. They should prove very useful for modern-day as well as RPG type maps. The textures are high resolution, most 512x512, and scaled down to half or quarter size in the map configuration to maintain detail.

If you like more "shiny-plastic" looking textures change the following setting in the map configs:

from: setpixelparam 1 2 2 2

to: setpixelparam 1 4 4 4

This map will push your system hard in some areas. There are many explosions, items that move, outdoor water areas, and elevators. I used most of what the engine has to offer map builders.

Take care of what you shoot at! Sometimes you'll find stuff after an explosion - BOOM!

Extract the "mpsp9_final.zip" file into your Sauerbraten folder (not "packages" folder). Some of the files from the original mpsp6 (Army Of One) map pack will be over-written. Don't worry, it's just improved model textures and md2 configs. YOUR SAUERBRATEN INSTALL WILL NOT GET MESSED UP!

ALL NEW TEXTURES ARE IN THE packages/mpsp9 FOLDER IN THEIR OWN SUB-DIRECTORY.

To play the map, open the console, type "sp mpsp9a" (without quotes) and press enter. Then Run, Gun, and have fun!

Any feedback on this map would be great.

I'm glad there's somebody trying to keep the SP side of Sauerbraten as pretty and exiting as it should be. Going by the screenshots I'll definitely be downloading this, despite the size.
I wish more people would try making more urban, plausible maps like this. I'll post critique on the gameplay once I've installed and played this.

EDIT: I downloaded and played, but unfortunately my ancient graphics card couldn't handle the size and detail. I found the frame rate increased to 32fps when I disabled the rotating skybox. It's a pretty small sacrifice and nobody would notice. Other than that, it's brilliantly set out (If a little confined in places.) and the texturing is excellent.
Though I'm a little worried that a lot of my default map models have been replaced. Hopefully it won't cause issues when I make my own maps.

Awesome job! I like the new textures a lot. And you used exploding barrels and platforms which fit great there. I liked the new door models too. Just one thing: I got stuck in one spot between the lockers(?) on the first map so I had to restart. I didn't get to the last map yet so I don't know if there's any other clip/noclip issues. Other than that - excellent SP! Keep up the good work!

P.S. And yeah, I love the new skybox in the second map too.
P.S2 Your method of hiding ammo and health packs in the barrels is kinda weird but I kinda like it. It makes you look for pickups in every barrel or box and adds some new excitment to gameplay

The first time I played your sp series I was amazed.
I loved it and said to myself "this guy owns"
Then one day I went on to Quadropolis and boom I see a new map package from the man himself.
I thought "could it really be??"
I clicked your link and looked at the screenies.
I was downloading the map at that time and I was just drooling to play the map.
I started up sauer typed in /sp mpsp9a and put difficulty at max and I played for about an hour.
I looked at every little detail and looked in every nook and cranny.
Flawless.
Dude your an amazing map maker and you really work hard at pleasing us cubers.
Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise ;)
10/10

All I can say is thanks for enjoying the map. I worked real hard at trying to bring something pretty and fun to the SAUER engine.

BTW, I have a large outdoor map (big valley to fight through) in the works.
