We’ll there have been requests for a TE version, we’ll see what happens.

Excellent mate, i think it’ll be on our rotation. Anyone who played it loved it.

Tbh the tapirs demand a TE version as well :tapir: :tapir: :tapir: :tapir:

Well done :slight_smile:

Is this considered a final version?
(just confirming for my site)

(Brevik) #6

Yep, lots of fun when playing it on the VPL server - looks nice and simple to get to grips with - great job!

The layout looks nice, the objectives look nice.

There are quite a few visual bugs (from a perfectionist viewpoint), like textures on the pipe dont match, some stairs are floating, texturing on the terrain in someparts looks quite a bit stretched, etc. I think you might have gone final a little too early.

TE version sounds like a solution. You might want to consider a way of making the map a little faster too. There seems to be a couple too many objectives. Or perhaps you could let allies keep their original spawn. That’d make the escort much easier.

Thx for the feedback guys!

Der’saidin, about your comments:

I am aware of some of the visual bugs but having seen how most people tweak their ET clients I don’t really see the point. I focus more on the gameflow than making the most beautilful map ever.
That said if I had the time I could pay a lot more attention to detail.

TE version sounds like a solution. You might want to consider a way of making the map a little faster too. There seems to be a couple too many objectives. Or perhaps you could let allies keep their original spawn. That’d make the escort much easier.

Yep, we will see what the feedback is for a TE version and what is realistic to change and what needs to be dispositioned. For a public map this version works very well, from a tournament perspective I am aware that things might need to be changed. Some fixes are really easy like making the truck “non-damageable” and moving spawns.

Cheers!

Looking good! Here’s a mirror!

(Gringo) #11

Ur just right steel rat. It far more important for the level to play well than to look aesthetic perfect.

(SteelRat) #12

whoa deej, 120 downloads already! :slight_smile:

(deej) #13

WTF :open_mouth:

(deej) #14

(SteelRat) #15

Anyhow, it looks like there will be some massive gaming on our server tonight: 213.132.119.21:27960

Great map SteelRat, anyone who played the beta on our server loved it. :>

(SteelRat) #17

Thanks eRRoLfLyNN, I am glad to hear that! :smiley:

(hooligUn2) #18

found a bug steelrat
its possible for axis to spawn at allies spawn at the begin of the map directly what ruins the whole map play :frowning:

its a nice map but if that gets fixed its even better !

(deej) #19

Maybe you can create a scriptfix? Also when the truck is past barrier 1 the axis swap spawn which at the end of the game makes the allies’ lives a bit too tough IMO.

I can see a final2 arriving :bump:

Apart from that: its kinda hard to get a .zip of your map anywhere cuz u .rar’ed it. And the redirect from your server is down… wanted to try out the map but had no luck.
