Looks really good, nice work! I'd love to have a beta of that second one you posted

Rumour has it, jitspoe likes crates above all other maps ever created.

No the map is not dead. I just had some trouble getting ArghRad to work under Linux

Anyways, I have been altering the map sublty over time. I added a sniper tower on the other two sides (still working on those, only got one up now)

I cannot decide on what way to get into the sniper areas. Should I use a ramp/staircase, an elevator (func_plat) a door object (better than func_plat, because it cannot be held in the up position) or a ladder?

Also, I have weapons set up like this:

spawn with PGP, 100pballs, 100 hopper, brass barrel. 2 7oz c02, and stingrays/vm68 are in the map. Is lower power weaponry a good idea?

Oh, and BTW is there any way to get rid of the time disrepancy kick? under Linux my computer struggles with bots and I end up getting kicked from my own server

Oh, and just to discourage you wall hackers and other various idiots, I put clip brushes around the entire map. Enjoy

Nice map, im guessing you used a program to generate that smooth looking terrain.
or did you made them by hand?

supertanker · « **Reply #29 on:** August 01, 2006, 09:03:16 PM »

I used Gensurf to generate the terrain. But I did tweak the rest of it by hand to get it smooth and the rest the way I want it.

Oh and by the way: to anyone who has a server and some friends who are willing to beta test, I would appriciate it if you would like to battle-test this map. I finished the two sniper towers (with good ol ladders), now it needs tested. Any takers?

jitspoe · « **Reply #30 on:** August 01, 2006, 09:13:53 PM »

I have a dedicated server set up for beta testing on EV1, but I'm heading out to quakecon tomorrow so I probably won't get a chance to put it up.

supertanker · « **Reply #31 on:** August 01, 2006, 09:15:25 PM »

That's fine, I just discoverd a couple small bugs in the map I need to correct anyways, and it takes an inordirate ammount of time to go through ArghRad.

supertanker... that map looks great, cant wait to actually see how it plays but nice design for a box map and nice hills they look really smooth

Eiii · « **Reply #33 on:** August 01, 2006, 10:37:56 PM »

Ah, the joys of pre-made GenSurf terrains. Looks good for a box map, but like all box maps, too open.

Cobo · « **Reply #34 on:** August 01, 2006, 10:41:44 PM »

yeah, i already made a few suggestions so it didnt looked like a box.

Smokey · « **Reply #35 on:** August 02, 2006, 12:45:44 AM »

what will clip brushes do to wallhackers?

supertanker · « **Reply #36 on:** August 02, 2006, 04:13:13 PM »

I meant wall jumpers, or people that try to get up on top to snipe. That is what the sniper platforms are for!

What the hell? WTF is this? Error: MOVETYPE_PUSH with a non bsp model

SWSoggyWaffles · « **Reply #37 on:** August 02, 2006, 04:28:40 PM »

wow, weird error

supertanker · « **Reply #38 on:** August 03, 2006, 03:04:30 PM »

This map, unfortunately, has high R_Speeds because of its design. However, I usually get 20-40 fps or 40-50 without reflective water (with only a 32 meg vid card)

Updated it, after it compiles (that takes a LONG time for some reason) I will release beta 1.

BTW the cause for that error was a func_wall not bound to anything. If you ever get the error look for unbound brush entities.

Cobo · « **Reply #39 on:** August 03, 2006, 03:10:54 PM »

It probably takes a long time because of the terrain.
