I really wish mappers would follow this guide (http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=5149.0), and server admins would not put maps in rotation from mappers that don't. I noticed that there are several issues with Wobluda:
- Several misaligned brushes, causing gaps, overlaps, and leaks.
- The map is not vised.
- Minor, but some of the textures are msialigned, and why is the ice flowing?
- CTP1 textures are in the textures/pball directory
-
It still plays great on pubs and matches with these issues. That being said I don't think that if a map isn't perfectly contructed, it shouldn't be able to be on the rotation.
-
I don't understand why we have to follow the guide if the map satisfies the players and mappers whats the big deal?

do we even know who made it, it just sorta appeared. lol
-
wasnt it made by obi, or some euro?
-
It's made by oBi. It does leak though, as evident by the dark hard shadows and his attempts to cover it up with a billion lights.

Is He Still active or no? If he Isnt Dont we need his permission to fix ?
-
Americans aren't even playing it. GTs dont have it, therefore we don't play it. Good map thou.
-
obi is a great mapper.
Nice map ideas. But he dont have it with betas.
I remember, he told me that he lost the wobluda.map file.
Maybe the next maps.

Many europeans dont release their maps here, cause they dont care about misaligned textures or sth like that. So they dont want to release their maps on this forum, cause everyone will say that barrel has a misaligned textures, that one too,... . These maps arent perfect, but you know : gameplay > layout

Yeah, if you release a map in this forum its gonna take 1 year + 16 betas before you can call it a finished map. So they just ask terrorist to upload it to otb servers and they are good to go.
Not saying it's the right way to do it, just saying thats what they do...

Thats not very often. The most bug-maps come from the arctic server, because everyone can upload everything on it. If u want crash their server, that is the easiest way...
We had this map for a few days on our server, not more. It has crashed one and we removed it.
Add this to the bug list jitspoe:
- The mappers placed the ctp1 textures into the pball folder...
-
- The mappers placed the ctp1 textures into the pball folder...
I wondered about that. I saw it download those textures, but does it even use them in the map?

If you practice good mapping techniques, things like misaligned barrels won't even be an issue, and you can focus on improving the game play. The problem is so many mappers do things like fail to use the grid (or set the grid size to 1) and just eyeball things, ending up with leaks, and all kinds of alignment issues. They may have to go through 16 betas before their first map is done, but at least they learn better mapping practices (hopefully), so their future maps won't have these major issues.

OTB has bug maps too. "If u want crash their server, that is the easiest way..."
