Newest revision is up now. The map is pretty much done. I will try to give it a once-over tomorrow sometime to make sure everything is alright.

Wraith its going for a 6v6.

i checked out a download you put up yesterday Wraith when hornet said you just removed one of the terrains. is this current one different? i am on the road today so i wiont be able to check this out till much later. :(

THanks in advance though.

[DW_Wraith]

Hornet must have mis-understood me. I didn't remove one of the terrains at all. I just removed sections (made invisible) areas where the two overlapped and the one beneath the upper one was painted out. The map uses 2 terrains, and if both sections are visible, yet one terrain will never be seen or felt by the player, then you might as well shut off its visibility and thereby lessen the amount of calculations used for collision.

I put up the newest revision as of now, and had fixed a few holes that I missed from the past revision. I played it with 31 bots plus myself on my local server and it played really well. I know you aren't planning on using it for 32 players, so with 12 I'd imagine that it should play smooth. In fact I will do that after this message is posted.

The people who did this map, or the last ones to work on it before me did a really good job of things. I like the look of it and about the only thing I would do to possibly further the fps rate is to a couple of the rock type structures that have a wide base, that is for the most part always stuck way underground, to lop that off in a 3d editor to simplify it a bit and then replant that mesh back in the map. You can always add more fog as an option also. The collision models for everything was done really well, kudo's to whomever did it, its not an easy thing to do.

If I were you, trash the rev. B, get the rev. C and look at it. I hope this will help you.

GL and HF,

Wraith

there both easy fixes just need to put the terrian back in with the visibility brush. there is a rather small one on one of the upper rox, it just cuaght my eye while flying a raptor. Its not huge but its there.

[DW_Wraith]

ok, all the holes are fixed now, in addition I found a few other things that I tweaked. The gameplay seems a bit smoother than before. 12 man playing went really well.

Rev. D
