Here is the 2nd beta of my village map, Fuhrung

There are MAJOR performance improvements in beta 2, frame rates should be at least twice what they were in beta 1 and all major known bugs are fixed

After public testing of the game play in beta 2 i will be reworking some of the visual elements of the map such as model view distance and the addition of a new 3d skybox for beta 3

I have made many visual sacrifices in order to obtain good performance now i am fine tuning game play which is the reason for this beta, after game play is tight i will go back and rework the visuals

* Changes in Beta 2 *
_______________________________

- Improved Performance, better FPS
- Mostly redone layout
- Removed some sounds and entities
- Removed water
- Removed 3D Skybox (to be redone before final release)
- Changed view distance on all models and func_lods
- Changed some textures
- Either team now has to have control of the bridge before they can blow the enemy's vehicle, there are now 2 objectives for each team instead of 3 (the tiger has been removed)

* Known issues in beta 2 *
_______________________________

- Laggy team select menu (most likely due to an element of the map briefing)
- Models disappear to quickly (this was done intentionally and will be changed in next beta)

Here is another mirrior for the file, : http://noknow.net/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=57



I will be testing today on this server : 72.37.185.92:27015

Ok did a walk through of the map, the FPS are just where they should be now, thank you. Ok still have a problem with the sounds not working and getting errors that spam all the time. Here is the list that I could come up with in console.

Other than that thats all I see, no one is on the server to try playing it yet but hope there will be soon.

I will have my 32 man server on this map all day without changing. 9/25/06

well all is not fine everywhere though. This map is locking up my computer. Due to the way it locks up, I was suspecting sound error issues; the previous post has now confirmed it. Sorry, but I would have to recommend you take this version off servers as it has consistantly proven (3 times in a row) to lock up at least 1 machine. There are bound to be others. As a checks and balances I offer the fact that no other map in DOD:S has ever locked up my machine. This is the first.

Sorry I don't have any nice things to report, but I cannot see the map to comment on it at all.

We actully played on this map for about two hours tonight with 6 others. The only thing that I saw that looks like it slows down is when it's tring to access the web file. on the team selection page. Other than that no other problems exept for the missing sound files. I think the web page thing need to be replaced with good old text file. Just needs to be touched up some and should be a good map.

Yeah we played for a while with up to 8 people on the server, no one had any problems other than the team select slowing down because it could not access the .html file for the briefing, i believe this has to do with the html files being compiled into the .bsp, beta 3 will have them in a folder

The missing sound files should not cause any problems other than the error being dumped into the console, i am not sure why your machine is locking up but none else has had this problem that i know of

Compiling the html into the .bsp can actually lock up some computers, by the way.

It was nice, I closed my DOD and my IE kept popping up trying to access my maphtml folder looking for the file...turns out HL2 crashed and not closed.

I recommend not putting it in the BSP.

Yeah that is what i am going to do for beta 3 along with some other changes
