“ Yasnar Cemetery”: A Call of Duty Mod for the Shrine System
“ Yasnar Cemetery” is a zombie map in Call of Duty: Black Ops III, designed specifically for my custom system: the Shrine System. In the Shrine System, the players can pray at Shrines in a level and get different Blessings from different Deities. Each Blessing is an active skill with an experience system, meaning that the more the players use their skills to kill zombies, the more powerful their skills will become.
As a scripter and level designer, I have learned several invaluable lessons from this project, including system planning, player ability scripting and code optimizing. In my opinion, CoD BO3 Mod Tools is a very beginner-friendly engine to learn with. I would recommend anyone who wants to learn Radiant to try out this engine.
This is a 16-week Directed Focus Study project, with eight weeks of system scripting and eight weeks of level building using the Call of Duty: Black Ops III Mod Tools.
