im having probs finding the rock exploit can you email me the details please.
wickit@ktsa.co.uk

what type of details are u looking for?

I had heard good things about this map, so I gave it a try. damn there are a lot of texture errors! the hill itself looks nice but everything else looks just thrown in there. the broken bridge could have come straight out of a bad 1.3 map, the houses had numerous texture errors, the road was plain and flat, all of the doors and windows were off scale, and in one spot you can't even go up a flight of stairs without crouching.

there was one spot where you could look into a house because the wall brush wasn't lined up right and the end was nulled. the worst texture error was on a flight of stairs where the texture was at a 45 degree angle ACROSS the stairs. :( I'd post pics, but they are too numerous.

the layout of the map looks like it might be fun to play, so you've got something to work with, but spend some time and fix up all those errors.

I suggest on the right side of the map (when looking up hill) you place a river. It then gives purpose to why there is a brige there and also makes a suitable boundary, instead of an invisible wall.

lol
thanks (i think)

yeah aware of the house errors.
the house came from the zoo and was droped straight in , will be removing in the next release and replacing with one of my own.
but your right the map is fun, which is the main thing.
but i am currently busy with beta3
im aware of a few texture errors, not sure there are a lot!, again in the todo list.

btw all suggestions and comments are welcome.


PS
is it me or is prop placing really boring.....

yeah, sorry if it sounded like I was just flaming. just trying to point out the things that need work. BTW, just remembered something else that bugged me. the road is a nice cobblestone road with gutters, running through a field. :confused: I'd swap that out with gravel or something. oh, and there is a house with a wierd hole cut out of the roof, like a skylight or something. looks pretty hocky.

hope to see a better version soon. :)

if your having problems with fixing those rock expoilts, why not change the rocks to tanks?

just a idea, and maybe a couple more bunkers and houses?

maybe a trench?

beta 3 is now about as ready as it can be, but i cannot recreate the rock exploit could some either give me a screenshot or tellme which rocks this happens on.

thanks

All the rocks on the hill.

If u cant get the rocks to be soild them repalce them with tanks are something.

Maybe fixing the errors that Josh talks about would increase the playability of the map.

I personally don't care as much about looks as I do performance, but my fps on this map is under 20 most of the time.

geesh as much as i try to get into a rock i cant !!!!!
o well out come the clip tool

hey wick, dont worry about it!! i think it might be the way i installed it on the server because i went to another server played it and all the rocks where solid but when i went back to my server those same rocks i could run right though them. I will now reinstall the map.

LMFAO
thx
/me goes to render map now

How long before release?

when i can i hijack the server at work to compile on

images for now though on fast compile
