Map: Groundsource [Final r1.0]

[HamStar]

Pete, the map is an Alpha, therefore it is only here for gamepley tests only :/ I think that there would be an image in the Beta stage....*makes taiyo put an image in beta stage*

This map is an amazing work of art. It is perfect apart from some lack of caulking which you admitted to in-game. Perhaps if it was optimized more for those P3700mhz people, it could be one of the best around ^^

PS: Would you really donate whole fz annual server price if we added rocket powered painsaws? Do you even know the annual cost ?!

Well, since barely no-one is playing this map it's kinda hard to test the gameplay.. I've only played it against a newbie, and I won every match...  

But it's a really fun map. I hope it gets more popular.

I mean, I registered on this forum mostly because I wanted to comment this map

Well there are still missing textures...

Oops... I'll get those fixed in the next release. Most of the "re-texturing" was done by opening the .map in a text editor and replacing the third party map names with "groundsource". I must have missed some.

There is one weird bug on the elevator I found out yesterday. When you, as a Tyrant, Dragoon, or other alien, is coming up on the elevator, if a human jumps down and hits you, you get immediately squished

ROFL!
I tried this in a game on FZ. This works with two humans as well.
This is probably to do with the elevator being a crushing func_train. I think I'll have to put a roof of sorts on the elevator to fix this. That should also make it more useful as an alien attack route.

There are also allot of brushwork improvements in the works - much of it is still pure nab (intersections, overlaps, inefficient joints, etc...)

I don't care if I have to sell my house and resort to burglary, I want rocket propelled chainsaws!!1! http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5279

A6 is in the works, and looks like it may be the final alpha, or at least I haven't had any layout or balance complaints from private testing. A major difference is that the number of PVs has been reduced by just over 87% (and the vis stage reduced to seconds). There were many unnecessary structural brushes and the overall geometry of some areas was crap. The map still looks the same but now all of the structural walls are flat. I now need to start placing hint brushes to ease the massive trianglespam that this map creates:

My eyes!!!!!

A6 is out. Looks to be the last alpha since it seems to be fairly balanced now.

A6 is up on the MG map repo.

It looks fine, shut up.

it has too many random colors

When is the last time (or never) that you have been in an industrial/production complex.  The colors here are tame.  In reality, each pipe has a different color depending on what is in it (compressed air, water, natural gas, oxygen, nitrogen, coolant, etc.) and some times different color combinations to indicate flow directions.  Doors are strange colors depending on if they are fire retardent, blast resistant, auto-close, etc.

And yes, the FPS worry me but it sounds like it is being addressed.

Beta 1 is out. See first post.

[Taiyo.uk]

RC1 is out, check first post.

[CreatureofHell]

first post link says b1 even though it goes to rc1

[Samurai.mac]

I'll skip past all the spam so sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I'd recommend toning down the reds and blues a bit, they stand out far too much and spoil the industrial theme in my opinion.

[gareth]

on funzone, not in rotation though.

This map makes me want to have 1.2, so that everybody would have it and we all could play and I could be constantly annoyed at the fact that my 700mhz struggles to run it. Good job.

[your face]

[Thorn]
