Well this seemed to be well-received last year so it has been resurrected and improved for this year!
Thanks to Nikola-(DOG)- for the idea of bringing it back this year and special thanks to her again for her awesome reworking of the map Nali Castle. She had plans for the rest of the "outdoor" maps, but due to RL issues, had to put further map retexturing to one side for now. So "WOOF" to Nikola-(DOG)- and thanks for your great map, which can be downloaded by clicking the following link.....
NaliC_xmas_music.7z
Note that this is the only map worth playing in isolation offline, because although most of the maps have minor edits in them, the Christmas server maps rely almost 90% on the mutators I have used. However I have now put new music into half the maps now and will be adding more today.
The new music in the maps is currently as follows :-
NyLeve_xmas_music DJ Keys - Valley
Dig_xmas_music Bob Marley - Three Little Birds (no comment)
Dig_xmas_music Sash - Encore Une Fois
Chizra_xmas_music Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke
Noork_xmas_music Rockin Around The Christmas Tree
ISVKran4_xmas_music Hillbilly Billyboy
TerraLift_xmas_music We Wish You A Merry Xmas
NaliBoat_xmas_music I Wanna Be Like You (from Disney's "The Jungle Book")
NaliC_xmas_music Jingle Bells
ExtremeCore_xmas_music Saga - Grinimal
ExtremeGen_xmas_music Front Line Assembly - Buried Alive
ExtremeDGen_xmas_music The Prodigy - Firestarter
ExtremeEnd_xmas_music Amy MacDonald - Spark
QueenEnd_xmas_music Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
Where possible, I have used tracker/mod files (MOD, S3M, XM etc), since these are of far less size and make the job a lot easier. However this was obviously impossible for tracks like "The Prodigy - Firestarter", so I had to resort to the "cheap" method of importing a suitable WAV into ModPlug Tracker and basically having it as a giant one-note sample. Whilst this method works fine, it results in a large sized UMX, so a couple of the music files are over 10Mb, not necessarily a huge deal nowadays but I wasn't prepared to drop the quality to 8-bit, because well 8-bit is great if you like nostalgia, but in 2016 I'm gonna need at least 16 bit.
Note that whilst the maps have the extension "xmas_music", this doesn't mean that all the music is based on Christmas, they are just songs/tracks that people have mentioned to me over the years that they like. In fact even the ones based on Christmas are not traditional and sung, they are - well - just cheesy.
So load up your Flak Cannon with some Fruit Cake and frag that nasty man Santa with well placed shots of ornaments.
Smash a Nali in the face with a snowball and wear a silly hat.
And remember...............
anyone joining the server with a Grinch factor greater than 49.99% will receive a bash over the head with a large cooked turkey.
Oh and don't go eating any yellow snow!
For those that celebrate Christmas,
MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
For those that don't celebrate Christmas,
MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Special thanks this year to Leo(T.C.K) for his Dragon and Gargoyle pawns. Leo gives a lot of his time to this game and so I credited him in-game in the map ExtremeDarkGen.
Lastly, thanks to Patrick, who made my Unreal world a brighter place and somehow had enough trust in me to give me a server slot.
Prost!
WOOF!
PS. Thanks HELLFIRE for pointing out the problem with Nyleve_xmas_music, problem solved! Cheers!
