All righty! I've got this one downloaded and it'll be up on the ONS test server in the next few hours or so. Don't know when I can round up my testers, but feedback will be here as soon as we've played it. :D

sounds good KarmaKat but I plan on releasing beta 2 very soon which will have many adjustments made to it from beta1.... I dont want to waste anyones time so its probably best if everyone waits from beta2...

Thanks, beta2 will be ready by next weekend :thumbright:

I would advise submitting your maps a couple days before that. You never know if something wrong occurs (missing file, bad connection the day of Halloween, etc). I'm just playing on the safe side.

But when you submit your map pack, you can request to for us to wait for Halloween before putting on SV ;)

thanks Ant... Sorry to be a flip flopper but I have changed plans on making final versions this soon. Some friends convinced me that its best to let a RC get a month or so worth of play before final, just in case there are tweaks discovered that could really improve the map. These are my first 2 2k4 maps so I agree.

So by Halloween I will have updated versions of both maps ready. They could be considered very close to final version. :thumbright:

Had another run at this map earlier today.

Only two things to mention before releasing your final version.
Inside the cavern...On the east side between nodes 1 and 7, one of the cavern walls are floating several inches over the terrain. It's a small fix, but it's also large enough to shoot rockets under there.

-Also-
Be sure to place some blocking volumes around the perimeter. Up northwest from the blue core, I can hop my manta up the cliffs and over the map.
