We run a very populair server,
But there is no way I can put that large of a file sized map on it.
We would probably lose 70% of our players due to this.
Please consider a lite version +/-20MB less is better.

Its about time players learn that download enchant their game… most of us have decent download rate and it shouldnt be a prob

Not everyone has a fast connection… Downloads don’t necessary enchant the game. Connecting to most pubs just gives you beeploads of random UI crap nobody wants.

I have no problem with downloading.
Yet I have a problem when we lose 70+/- percent of our players.
It is impossible to add this to a big server and keep it stable with player rate.
I’ve never had any custom UIs on any server I’ve hosted.

i have 50mb/s connection and sometimes my download speed while i’m connecting in a server is 35 kb/s, in resume sometimes it not download the files like it should.

yea things happens sometimes, a good idea is to disconnect and connect again. Most http downloads are on shared servers hosts and I see that ours also various a lot.
And also sometimes admin forget to upload things to http and then its downloaded directly from server that again only give 70-80 kbs …
I see your points guys… But I never had problems waiting if I play on a server I like… And I will for sure run this map on our ww2 server when it have waypoints

The shadow tga;s
Called 001, 002, 003 and so on
About 20?
If we adjust the size of them, divide by 2
We make them 4 times smaller
But quality is onle divided by 2
1/2
2x2=4
1x1=1
1/4 four times smaller
1/2 half quality
can just KeMoN make a new version?
- I dont wanna download a map on 40mb
Venice is on 10 i think and it took 2min
Buhää i missed warmup…
Frostbite
Baserace
And snatch is on 4 to 5mb
Not to mouch
So
Frostbite is 1/4 quality of dingenskirchen
Venice is 1/2 quality of dingenskirchen
Dingenskirchen is so big that you can take a cup af tea while you wait…
And miss the whole map first time…
My map is on 5mb,
when i wanted to add a tank,
just lika prop it grew to 6mb
So I removed it… Just becouse of this…
So actully can frostbite and venice be the same quality
Its the tank thats take space in venice
So venice is probably also 1/4 quality of dingenskirchen
However we got several other maps…
So honestly got KeMoN the server with 20players 24-7?
No
Got wh_te the rights and the map file to edit this?
No
Why cant KeMoN do as wh_te want?
Becouse…
Beco…u…s…eeh…eeh
Ehh
Why
Why…
Becouse why not!!!?
Do it KeMoN,
And your map is famous!

Optimize FPS, remove Nazi stuff and reduce pk3 size if possible (without loosing quality?).
Oh, and guys, the mapsize is actually 50MB, not 70 because the rest in this zip pack are just screenshots.

Tested here too (see a related screenshot on my IMGUR album).
I would also like to point that the built CP stays silent, dunno if it is done on purpose?

Very nice Map. Agree that the Nazi Symbols Symbols Are redundant. Map is a Little too Big in my opinion

Here are my thoughts on this map:
The map overall looks superb, with only a few graphical glicthes. :stroggbanana:
I like the first part in town with the tank, but I don’t really like the castle part with the multiple objectives. It’s too messy in my opinion, especially the huge number of rooms in the castle and the lack of indications on the walls about where the objectives are! I got lost in the castle many times as a result! 
I also suffered from huge FPS drop due to bad optimization, and also noticed the blending/smoothing problems that Matoes has shared about.
Now for the glitches:
Snow comes out of pavement everywhere.
Shadows displayed on snow textures looks weird, they have white surroundings which looks brighter than the snow itself, making it look really weird!
This shadow seems to be coming from nowhere.
I can swim underneath the frozen lake from the river next to it, don’t know if that’s on purpose or not.
The right wall is lighter than the left one, even though the sun is on the left.

Noticed too, it’s because the related shader has surfaceparm snow.

I suspect LIGHT -bounce over 4 (between 4 or 8), I had the same yellowish lighting on Supply Winter Edition and reddish inside the tunnels with bounce on 8. Lowered to 4 to avoid it, but the shadowing was less precise

- No comment.

Maybe a smoothing shader would help, but that would increase lighting calculations ^^’
