[Map] Hard Place

[Djemps]

Here's a quick challenge map that uses the 'rock' weapon that Gyrth just created.

The idea is that Turner is stuck in a ravine with three Guards hot on his trail. They hit very hard, so Turner must resort to throwing rocks instead of engaging in hand to hand combat.

Be sure to download Gyrth's rock HERE.

EDIT: I've tweaked the sun placement and cleaned up some of the decals to give it a nicer feel.

An excellent quick fight level. It took a long time for the sky part to load, but wasn't too bad once it ran. Seems like the guards are bumped up some in their strength, hand to hand was difficult.

Thanks for the nice review. I don't know why the sky box took so long for you. It is the original sky that comes with the Red Desert map. It sounds like you dealt with the juiced up guards by brawling with them. You must be very brave! Did you try throwing any of the rocks?

[Rhaedas]

The big key, and part of what makes it work, is the time you (don't) have to pick up and throw the rocks. Plus, you only have two.

Updated a slightly different .xml file. See OP.

After I finish putting all of the files in the "right" places, I type the level in on the main menu custom level search and I get this error: bad xml data in level fileData/levels/sky_temple.xml. This is not the first time I have gotten this when trying to download a custom map. Am I doing something wrong?

[theworriedpotato]

Sorry! I meant the error: bad xml data in level fileData/levels/(insert level name here).xml. In this instance the error is fileData/levels/hard_place.xml

This level is a lot of fun!

(Added to the menu mod!)

Great map idea. I managed to pick up bot rocks quickly enough, but pressing the throw button only throws the one of them.

Press 'B' to move the weapon in your off hand to your main hand.

I think all the action management is what makes this little level so fun!
