So much for a closed BETA, the map has leaked to several forums already so its no use in keeping the downloads a secret.

Get the map at:
http://www.sikstrom.nu/rikard/files/hide_beta_zipfile.zip
or
http://alenet.mine.nu/files/etmain/hide_beta_zipfile.zip
or get the map via the server download.

Server running the map:

Servername: Drakirs|Territory
ServerIP: 213.112.60.154:27960 (server may be changing IP from day to day as i have a dynamic IP adress)

After u have tried the map, please give me your honest thought. Or send bug reports.
Either to me on this mail, the SD forum or my homepage forum.

Thx alot for wanting to test the map.

Hey Drakir :), Ill see if I cant get the server I play on which is a 32 player server to put up the Beta for you to see how it is. Tell me if you would like me to.

I have gotten several bug reports, nothing major sofar…need to add some clipbrushes to a few places, but i still need some play testing with alot of player to see how the map actually plays! Only played it 3vs3 yet and that is not enough to see.

So if any serverop is willing to use it on their crowded servers i would gladly see it happen!

Thx for the public betatest… :smiley:

But i think the map is a little bit to great/complex! :eek2:
Only good for over 30 Slot-Server.

(NdK) :wink:

The map is very big when u are alone in the map, but as the spawn progress during the game i was more worried it was going to be to small and would be too crowded in certain spots. Sure there will always be players who wonders around taking the scenery route, but the main fighting will be rather intense on the actuall goal positions.

I will see when i test the gameplay on a full gameserver.
At first, you have done a good job, the map looks very good! :cool:

(NdK) :wink:


(blushing_bride) #11

i noticed it being played on a massive server with about 36 players last night. I think the name was ‘ss’ standing for ‘shit storm’ but i cant remeber. It was a us based server i think

Ok, no real bug but something that bothers me. The overall design looks very good, except for 2 points :

a) the grass terrain texture loops quite noticable on some spots in the map, maybe scale that one bigger or exchange it for another one?

b) the virtually non existant lighting in your map. Ok, it’s a night map, so no big sun shadows or anything, but most parts of your map just look like a toned down fullbright. I know you want ppl to have good sight and everything, but a little more intense light/darkness game would enhance the visuals of your map greatly I believe. Or maybe that’s just me… :slight_smile:

Can’t say anything about the gameflow yet, but I’ll be sure to try that later, though a first guess is that it’ll play quite nicely since the action is localized pretty good… :slight_smile:


(S.S.Heirpie) #13

Yes thats the name… it is in the rotation, If drakir would like, I will make provisions on this server and adjust the max ping so he can connect to find out first hand on game play of this map, nothing better then to get the players point of view…
(pm me if your interested…)

So far the only problem I have incountered is people getting lost…:)…other then that the game play is awsome…
