[Release] [MP] Firing Range

[CUKServers]

️ Work in progress. First release. The map plays well in Team Deathmatch with bots; the objective modes (S&D, Domination, CTF, etc.) use BO1's own objectives but haven't been fully tested yet. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

About

Firing Range from Black Ops 1, ported to Black Ops II multiplayer on Plutonium T6. It's its own map (mp_firingrange), not a replacement for a stock one: load the mod and it shows up in the map list as Firing Range, with its own preview, loading screen and minimap.

Change Log

v1.1
Bullet impact, shell casing, footstep and landing sounds. BO2 keeps these in each map's own sound bank, and the map didn't have one, so shots hit surfaces silently.
Props stop bullets: barrels, crates, pallets, cabinets, generators, lockers, tables, electrical boxes, cable reels and the like get collision. The converted props had none, so bullets went straight through cover.
Every surface uses its correct BO1 texture. Some triangles had picked up a neighbouring surface's material.
BO1's layered surfaces are drawn in full: dirt, grime, stains, rust and decal layers blend over the base surfaces using BO1's own blend weights. Before, only the base layer was drawn.
Textures with BO1's DXT3 transparency are converted so BO2 reads their alpha (fences, grates, decals no longer draw as solid blocks).
BO1's destructible props that only show their damage when shot no longer draw the damage pieces all the time.
Map name shows correctly in the map list.

v1.0
First release: Black Ops 1's Firing Range as its own BO2 multiplayer map, with BO1's geometry, textures, props, lighting, sky, minimap, loading screen, moving range targets, spawns and objectives for every mode, and bot paths.

Features

• The whole BO1 map: geometry, textures, collision and all 4,793 props: the jeeps, sandbags, palms, range furniture.
• BO1's own look: its baked lighting and sun, its sky, its minimap and loading screen.
• Moving range targets, running BO1's own script: sliding, flipping and spinning targets that react when you shoot them, and the alley / trailer-window targets that stop while you stand next to them.
• Every mode's spawns and objectives from the original map: Team Deathmatch, Free-for-all, Domination, Search & Destroy, Demolition, Capture the Flag, Headquarters, Sabotage, Kill Confirmed.
• Bot support: BO1's own path nodes, so bots play the map.

Known issues

• The objective modes haven't been fully tested yet. Please report anything broken.
• BO1's mantle-over spots aren't in (BO2 can't run them on a custom-built map), so bots path around low cover instead of vaulting it.
• BO1's destructible cars, barrels and electronics are static.

• Shep: BO2 port
• Built with OpenAssetTools.

Just a question—are you using AI to create these ports? I'm just curious; there's no problem with using it if it's to enhance the game. If so, what kind of AI are you using? Thanks.
