Springfield public beta released!

[Nail]

It´s done!
Ok, almost done… this is the first public version of the Springfield Map for Enemy Terrirory. Beta, because there still some things to do. I want to improve gameplay, performence and so on. But i thought it is time for you out there to get something.

So here it is!

Get it from:
http://www.maggusoft.de.vu

Btw, the homepage is beta, too

map looks great, just one thing tho, on your website you say people can get the game from the official site: www.enemy-territory.com, sorry, but that’s a fan run resource site, not official at all, Official Site would be here or ID Software, but thanks for the props and keep up good work on maps.

How does one go about fixing the Hunk_AllocateTempMemory error ?

Thanks

[BoomStick]

I’m gettin the same error on our server, only difference is it actually kills the server. Me and a couple others tried to get in the nd80 server to try it out, even with our hunkmegs at 110 it wouldnt load.

First of all great map - really enjoyed playing it last night. The amount of detail is astonishing -especially in the simpsons house.

As has been said before you may meed to think about moving the spawn in the simpsons house (sugest either the garage or the garden) several times last night i spawned with about 3-4 other players and it was abottleneck trying to get out of the simpson house.

Secondly the Axis Spawn at moes, possibly again could do with being changed - the axis spawn right at the teleporter and as happed in the games i played last night, the Allies found it very hard to get to the teleporter. ( the amount of times i got the objective and went back and forth through the teleporter due to being confused as were i landed was so funny)

Apart from these wee niggles the map is excellent well worth the wait bro - looking forward to the next map update

[fattakin]

Im looking forward to a suggestion / fix for the Hunk Allocation… any ideas?

[Maggumaster]

whoops, didn´t know that enemy-territory.com isn´t the official site… will be changed with the next siteupdate

dude… i cant get it to work!!!

[DeAtHmAsTeR]

dude… i cant get it to work!!!

why not? what is your problem? dont be vague, it’s just spam.

[dime1622]

probably the hunk_alloc problem, i have the same problem as well

[Laope]

wow, nice looking map! so much detailed
the warp effect its just WOW!
the mr.plow truck rocks.
the simpsons house its lovely.

but i didnt like some things:

• fps killer, i dunno if this could be fixed, but i got 25fps playin the map alone (xp 2100+, ati 9600xt, 512ddr) this is critical and should be priority.
• the map is small, someone says that above, the map 1,5 bigger should resolve that =) (i feel like a 2,2meter NBA player in the simpsons house)
• the spawn area inside the house is unconfortable, the garden are a better place. IMHO
• use more cars to block some streets, cause the transparent clip near the simpsons house feels like s**t.
  -some cars in the street to cover would be a nice touch.
• if you want to do the feel of 2d, you could replace some 3d wolfet_default barriers, with a 2d wire barriers, that make the map more nice lookin and funny.
  -some of the simpsons windows house re blocked with tables. why? i wanna look trough the kitchen window!
• some opening and ending simpsons music could be nice (a fanatic opinion only)
• some nelson AH-HA! if the axis loose, could be nice too.

good job m8, its a great map, but it could be much better :drink:

i got it 2 work… soz that my post was vageu… just couldnt stand it everybody was going: OOOH + AAAH for the map… and it didnt load up at mines…
its weird… but if i wanna start a local server it wont work and if i connect 2 a server where its runnin it does… (load time was pretty long)
and im getting normal FPS it sometimes drops a bit here and there but not under 18 (2kMhz 256mb-ram G-force 4 MX 440)

or in other words, map wont load

[yankeeman]

i hosted it locally and its a great lookimg map!! detail is awesome. i am going to play it on nd80 and hopefully the gameplay is decent anything better then rader is a thumbs up. it does take along time to load and i had my hunks set to 250

[Mr_Tickles]

Ok, I downloaded it. Just won’t work, the hunkmegs problem. I set the hunkmegs to 90 as you say in your readme, I tried loads of different values for it, it just won’t work.

[deej]

to fix the alloc problem you should (on the client side) create a text file called autoexec.cfg in etmain and have in there:

set com_hunkmegs 128

Note that this value can be higher but should never exceed 2/3 of your total RAM (or was it 3/4?)

Anyways we have our servers also at 128 (we do a +set com_hunkmegs 128 in the command line) and it works perfectly.

[Maggumaster]

First of all, i want to say sorry for the bad performence and the many many problems the map makes. I´m on solvin these errors. I also want to thank everybody who reported me some bugs/errors. You guys are the best! To all the people who have problems with the map, I´m on it!

[deej]

Don’t worry man, we know you do this in your free time and we appreciate all the hard work you put in it!

We’re here to help you improve your map, and please know the community loves it! We saw our traffic on the custom server tripling when we put the map on it.

So keep it up!

[The_Wanderer]

It does perform terribly, and the hunkmegs issue is a big problem, but it is just such an incredible piece of work. I don’t know how long it took you to design this whole thing but let me say that it is a work of art. I was wowed by the amount of detail inside the Simpson’s house. You did an amazing job.

As far as performance is concerned, I noticed a lot of excessive detail. Your trees for example were almost perfect spheres, and each must’ve been about 2000-3000 triangles. There’s no need for that much detail. You can get the same degree of smoothness with only 100-200 triangles if you use phong on it. Also you hadn’t followed proper brush building techniques, and you had T-junction splits all over the place. A house face which should’ve had no more than 10-20 triangles had about 100. I don’t know if I would recommend you to fix these things because it probably involves reworking the entire map. I think what you have right now is great in its own right.
