I noticed that some of you where missing the survival map from the Beta, so i decided to have a go at making one myself.

Currently there are 10 waves
however my progress on developing the map further has been impeded by a scripting bug that i have not been able to trace.
the script that spawns each wave is rather complex

Enjoy.

Changelog:

0.6
Waves Rebalanced
Attempting to repair wave 9 crash bug.

scripts are very basic components that will let you do nearly anything when combined.
i did write a vauge tutorial that includes some scripting here:

a Guide To Dungeoneering (https://www.dropbox.com/s/9qq3342syqith0b/Hammerwatch%20A%20guide%20to%20dungeoneering.docx)

however this does not cover all the details and alot you can learn through trial and error.

I already tried the guide, but you need a lot of time, and you need to be patient not like me :P I made a second floor and the character spawn at the top in the wall don't rly understand why. This is very basic for a developper i guess yeah but for someone who never did any map on any game...

Had been trying out this a few times online on hard never making it further than 4 waves. Tried to solo it and it was way easier.

And someone said that Paladin's not that good for this level :)

(sorry for the music, OBS fails to capture the game's sounds while all other sounds work great so I took some stock song from youtube..)

Great fun map! Linaru, I think it's a fun sort of play if your bored and just activate the traps casually and win kind of map, but it's not much of a survival imo. So, as a survival map I give it 1/5, but as a casual map 5/5 I genuinely had fun for some reason.
