Sorry, I don't catch what you mean. What kind of campaign?

Heh, Why don't you make one? I would love to see something like that.

I'd help make combat maps :D (For whatever "le parkour" is... Isn't that the name of those russian climbing videos?)

Free running and parkour are about getting yourself from one place to another as smoothly, quickly and with as much acrobatics as possible. EG: Awesome acrobatics and santa doing a wall flip.
I'm really bad at map editing and I'd just do it if I knew how to. BTW, Anyone seen mirrors edge? GREAT example.

For Lugaru or Overgrowth? Because Lugaru really doesn't have enough acrobatics available to the player.

Also, can anyone tell me exactly how "parkour" is pronounced? It's bothered me since the very first time I saw the bloody word.

I think it's pronounced par-core.

Nah there's definitely enough in Lugaru to make a parkour map. (it's actually pronounced par-coor in the original french)

Of the top of my head some elements you could use would be:

- Having two walls next to each other and having to wall jump from one to the other as fast as you can
- being high in the air and having to jump just right to get to the next block (there was some of that in empire),
- a bit of a fun twist where you have to run through an area of enemies but not engage them, because your time at the end will be longer if you do.

Sure Lugaru doesn't have any awesome moves like Wallrunning or whatever, but with enough imagination you can make some very challenging and diverse levels with just those elements.

If I wasn't already working on another project with Lotus Wolf I'd definitely consider working on this myself XD


Also MONKEYZ RULE, Map making is easier than you might think, just go into the Data folder, open config.txt and change debug to 1. then find the Debug Readme and print it out (you'll want to look at it while in game). There is a good bit of more info on the Lugaru Wiki. Also feel free to come on the IRC if you have any questions.

I'll be releasing a map pack probably this weekend and one of them is a little like that.

You can ask about it on the IRC if you catch Lotus.

This wasn't meant to be known on the forums yet. I thought I told Jo not to post about it... Anyway, there will be no discussion about this on the forums, it is IRC exclusive until it is complete.

I've never really made anything in lugaru but I'll see what I can do. :)
Edit: Wow, the rocky hall thing must have taken forever to make, I think I'm going to do like 1 level, maybe more in the future as I get better but this isn't as easy as I thought it'd be.

Yeah, it is very hard. One problem that frustrates me is when I place 1 too many objects on a map and save it, then go to load it and it freezes. Answer: Keep back-ups. And not just when you've completed a map and are happy with it, during creation as well. Only save new changes to one of your copies, then test that it doesn't crash before updating all the others as well. But even though it can be devilishly frustrating, I still enjoy doing it! Crazy? Nah. Obsessed? YES!!!! :D

the question is, are they the same thing....
