Silly face! You don't move and as they come up YOU FIRE AND BLOW THEM UP BEFORE THEY BITE OFF YOUR HEAD!!! That is why you have never acheived my level of skill You rush headlong into things when it isn;t always the best way

Station15 beta2 is ready! Really!

Unfortunately, it's not uploaded
And that's gonna take awhile. Hang tight everyone, the map should be uploaded in 1-2 days at the most.

[Divmax]

Waa? Looks like your upload speeds are slow.

[Diluke]

[Supertanker]

Zfight near alien base that I showed you earlier: http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2320/shot0066zo5.jpg

[Supertanker]

Fixed. Hmm, my video card seems to be very forgiving over Z-fights. Odd

So, anyone have any suggestions for beta3?

[Knowitall66]

A map or some form of directions (Arrows on floor?)?

[ghostisback]

Beta 2 Uploaded on TremSpain Server !!!

[Pete]

So, anyone have any suggestions for beta3?

Well, beta 2 is way too laggy for me, so my only suggestion right now is to (using your expression) make it less CPU whoring.

[Amtie]

If it's that laggy ingame, how laggy would it be in gtk? xD

[Supertanker]

Well, it's the only map I've ever had to use view clipping on, and it's the only map where I have to turn off detail to get >2 FPS

[Amtie]

2FPS? Sweet. I guess with my gfx card (Geforce Go 7400) i wouldn't be able to make anything that might closely resemble your map within months to come.

What's your gfx card?

[Supertanker]

Geforce 7900 GT OC

I only get slow downs when I view the entire level at once without cubic cliping. With cubic clipping I get 10 FPS

[Amtie]

Well, lots of love for b3 

P.S. Write more of yer Gamma station fanfic on your site ^^

Feel free to use it, it's under the CC license. As long as I'm mentioned in the readme as the creator, it's fine by me.

[Supertanker]

Odin: Thanks! That works a *lot* better...

[Hugoagogo]

thanks but i just realised that i will need to find one of an ice planet sigh back to endless internet surfing to find one

[Supertanker]

Hugoagogo, if you want, I can try rendering a version with an ice planet--I still have the original .blend file somewhere. PM me and we can talk about it, although I can't guarentee it'll be what you're looking for...

[NightWolf]

looks like a very cool map -- very..."exotic" settings.....sorta puts an exciting atmosphere over it

[Lakitu7]

I like a lot of what's being done in this map. You've got some tricks that aren't in any other. Those iris doors are still crazy impressive, and the map just "feels" different from most others. It seems a little large, but many maps do on first impression until you get to know them. It needs some playtesting.

However, before there can be playtesting it needs some optimizing. I have a NEW system and I never get below 125 while devmapping on Transit, but your map takes me down to < 30 in some places. If I wallwalk around that new garden section, I can achieve < 20. Turning on r_shownormals shows a lot of things in places that are very far away, but still being rendered.

I understand the idea that things need to be playtested before optimization, but when most peoples' systems can't handle transit, yours is going to go slideshow in some areas and they'll just vote to insta-nextmap it.

In *most* places I get a solid max fps without issue. It's just a few certain areas where it tanks, and when it tanks, it tanks BAD.

[Supertanker]

Yes, that is one of my priorities at the moment...I have no idea how to really hint so I'm just experimenting right now. I think that bloody docking bay, although beautiful, may have to go--or be relocated somewhere else.
There's only one tree in the garden now, so that should help matters a bit. Maybe making the area skylight less huge, because people aren't going to look there too much.

My TODO for beta3:

Optimize (Duh)
Add detail
Add connector with pulse-style elevators between the upper and lower middle hallways.

[Supertanker]

Station15-beta3 is released as a gameplay test. Go try it and tell me if you still get 5 fps.

[TRaK]

I get at least 40 fps all over the map, when I used to bottom out at 25 near the garden.

I tried for 10 minutes to break your elevators and failed, good job
