Map Editor Terrain Painting system


In this update we added a completely new system for management of the Terrain, giving you more control to create and manage situations that were impossible before.
This new system consists of the possibility of painting the terrain with a brush, up to 8 different materials/textures for a single palette.

It's really easy and fast, also it's synchronized with other players, allowing you to paint simultaneously with your friends inside your server.

Only the first palette is available in this update, more textures palettes will be added later.
Materials/Textures list "GREEN" palette:

  • Full Grass
  • Dirty Grass
  • Dirt
  • Clay
  • Soil
  • Mud
  • Sand
  • Asphalt


Terrain Color Painting Overview

How to paint with textures
In order to paint your terrain you have to select the "TERRAIN" tab in the top right screen corner,
from here select the "Color" layer and the "NATURE GREEN" palette.

As default the terrain is filled with the first "Full Grass" texture, but you're free to change it with another texture: to do that just select your chosen texture and press the "Fill all with selected texture" button.

Then you can begin to paint: choose the desired texture and press the left mouse button on the ground.
The more you press the more color will be painted on the ground.

Mixing Textures and Paint Strengh
If you want to apply a light painting turn down the paint strengh bar.

How to create variations and nice looking grounds with textures
Color/Texture variations are really important in order to obtain a natural and nice looking terrain,
we suggest to use texture combinations to achieve this result.

Here are some combinations example,

For Full Grass terrain type - "Full Grass" and "Dirty Grass" mixture

For Dirty roads/passages - "Dirt" and "Mud" mixture

For Full Dirty terrain type - "Dirt", "Mud" and "Clay mixture

Map Editor Details Painting system


Similarly to the terrain painting system, this Details Painting system allows you to paint with "details" instead of textures.
Details can be grass, small plants, stones or other small objects.

First Set of pantaible Details includes 11 different objects,
Object preview with icon will be added soon!

  • D0 - Grass 1
  • D1 - Grass 2
  • D2 - Grass 3
  • D3 - Grass 4 tall
  • D4 - Grass 5 dense
  • D5 - Rocks
  • D6 - Yellow Flower
  • D7 - Red Flower
  • D8 - Grass coverage small
  • D9 - Grass coverage big
  • D10 - Plant Tall


Terrain Details Painting Overview

How to paint with details
Select the "Detail" layer, choose the desired object and press the left mouse button on the ground to paint your "detail" object.

Terrain Details Painting in action

How to create variations and nice looking grounds with details
In order to achieve a clean and natural terrain do not overdo with details painting and try to mix up 2/3 objects togheter.
Also uses detail objects in combination with the painted terrain textures.

Here are some combinations example,

For Full Grass terrain type - with "Full Grass" texture use D8 as base and add D0/D1/D2

For Dirty Grass terrain type - with "Full Grass/Dirty Grass" textures use D8 as base and add D9 for dense zone.

For Full Dirt terrain type - with "Dirt/Mud/Clay" textures use only D5 Rocks and add D8 only where grass is present.

New 162 tiles



  • New 42 Trees tiles
  • New 4 Bushes tiles
  • New 20 Ground Deco tiles, tileset "Decals"
  • New 60 Floor tiles in Ground Details

Map image preview inside Settings tab
From now on you can have an overview of your entire map thanks to the image available in the settings menu (or by pressing the [M] key).


More Gamemodes support for Custom maps
Finally, custom maps can be used in almost all gamemodes, here's the list:

  • GaT
  • TDM/gTDM/IG/MB
  • DE
  • VIP
  • ZR
  • CTF/gCTF/igCTF


How to setup your custom maps for Gamemodes
Each map needs a certain list of objects to be present in order to be compatible with a certain game mode.
Be sure to have these objects placed in your map space otherwise the map will be not shown in your playable maps list.

TDM - gTDM - IG - MB
These mode only requires the player's spawn points, make sure you have placed enough of them in order to avoid multiple player to be spawn int the same spot.
We recommend using at least 12 spawn points for each team, also keep in mind that spawn points are required for all game modes.

*At the moment Spawn Points are shared between all gamemodes, if you need different spawn points for each gamemode right now the only way is to duplicate the map.

GaT
The GaT gamemode requires at least one "Thieves Target" object and one "Thieves Exit Point"
List available GaT gameplay tiles,

Each tile can be placed once

CTF/gCTF/igCTF
The CTF gamemode requires a "Flag Home" and "Capture Point" tiles for both teams.

Each tile can be placed once

DE
The DE gamemode requires at least one "Bomb Target".

Each tile can be placed once

VIP
The VIP mode requires one single "VIP Escape Point"

Each tile can be placed once

ZR
The ZR mode requires at least one "Big Brain" as objective for the Zombie team.
As you know only one Brain will be available at a time in each game, the objective will be randomly select between all the brains available in the map.

Each tile can be placed once

Teleports
Teleports are usable in all modes, but we recommend using them only in VR looking maps for gTDM/IG mode.
One single teleport is composed by one entry point and one exit point, easily recognizable in BUILD mode.

Each tile can be placed once

NEW UPDATE WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON, STAY TUNED! ; )

New auto-balance algorithm


Another change that will be available in the next release is a better auto-balance algorithm.

The problem with the current one is that is *only* taking in consideration the average score during the matches and it's not considering the player experience.

The new algorithm it's still a simple one but we think it will be an improvement.

It works like this: every player will have a "rating" computed that it the result of 3 variables:

A = ( avg_score / 2000 ) * 0.5
B = total_wins / total_match_played
C = level / level_cap
RATING = A + B + C

It will be possible to see every player rating just hovering with the mouse on their name inside the lobby:



After a rating is computed for every player we will try to create the best teams, trying different player combinations until the 2 teams have a similar total rating (computed simply summing all the rating of the players in a team).

MAP improvements and Changes: Mansion

Improved Terrain and Grass

By now almost all the passages (Yellow/Green) are closed with destructible metal covers.
To pass through you must first destroy them, keep in mind that their presence can 'be both an advantage or a disadvantage.


Maps Remake, Rebalance and Changes


The most used maps are only "Office" and "Mansion", there are reasons behind that and we want to address this problem.
Maps Like "Cemetery" and "Military camp" in particular have some balancing problems, like too much darkness on the main points of interest giving a huge advantage to the thieves and not well-balanced objectives placement.
We've improved the situation by changing maps Layouts, Lighting, objectives placement, Spawn zones and more.

Classes Rebalance (Stats and loadouts) / Gadgets Rebalance


Classes rebalance aims to rebalance the game mechanics by giving more importance to the less used classes.
In this particular case we're going to buff Scout and Carrier for Guards and Cobra, Saboteur and Medic for Thieves faction.
Both classes statistics and loadouts stats will be changed in order to achieve this goal, all the details about the changes will be made public with the 81.0 update.

Maps Improvements and Rebalance


More used maps are Office and Mansion, there are reasons behind that and we want to fix this problem.
Maps Like Cemetery and Military camp in particular have some balancing problems, like too much darkness on main point of interest zones, exaggerated thieves advantages and not well-balanced objective placeament.

We've improved the situation by changing maps Layouts, Lighting, objectives placeament, Spawn zones and more.
All the details about these changes will be explained with the update.

Here some preview images,
Military Camp: New zone, Car Depot.

Military Camp: Layout Changes



Military Camp: Improved Terrain and Grass

Police Department: New Red Spawn Zone

Of Guards and Thieves - Now FREE TO PLAY!

Of Guards and Thieves - NOW FREE TO PLAY!




Hi guys,
"Of Guards and Thieves" is now available as Free To Play to everyone!

Welcome to all new players!

Of Guards and Thieves, what is it?


"OGAT" is a multiplayer stealth game in which high-powered guards face off against fast and elusive thieves in a contest of wits.
Outsmarting the enemy and shooting your way through to the goal are equally valid strategies.


  • Asymmetric Stealth multiplayer tactical action.
  • Class system and factions.
  • Innovative dynamic lighting system.
  • Interactive environment.
  • Competitive and fun game modes.
  • Leveling System with experience points.


Classes unlock levels for Free To Play players.

Assault/Scout for Guards, Cobra/Shadow for Thieves and Runner for Zombies.
Specialized classes can simply be unlocked by playing and gaining experience points.
Here's the levels needed to unlock each individual classes:

F.A.Q about Free To Play changes

Will OGAT become a Pay To Win game?


NO. And never will be: we have removed the class limitation for F2P user exactly for this reason.

Avoiding PAY TO WIN feeling and complaints at all cost is one of our primary goals.
Permanent Gold Users have to be perceived as useful and as a friendly resource for anyone, not as an enemy.

I already bought the game, what do I have to do?


Early Access users will receive the "Permanent Gold Account" DLC automatically and for free.
If you have already bought the game you do not have to buy back the DLC, you'll see it as already purchased and activated.

Will OGAT remain in Early Access phase?


Yes, we want to add new content, features, and polishing to the game before declaring it complete.

Permanent Gold Account content


"Permanent Gold Account" DLC (aka Early Access/"civilian" account type) content list,


Of Guards and Thieves - Permanent Gold Account DLC will still have the ability to have more content like extra Gamemodes and Maps, In-Game Map Editor, exclusive Avatars, Golden Star next to your username and more.




  • 12 extra Gamemodes hosting capabilities.
  • In-Game Map Editor.
  • Golden Star displayed everywhere.
  • XP gain boost (x1.25) (*applied to everyone in the server you're playing in)
  • 9 extra Official Maps hosting capabilities.
  • 29 extra profile Avatars.

*Note that more content and features will be added with future updates. (like extra skins for weapons/classes, clan creation capability and more.)
