Given that dm_park is a 17mb BSP, it's pretty much going to be a website-only affair

Nice to see a server with custom maps. Erm, if you don't mind, could you add this map --> http://dlx.gamespot.com/pc/halflife2/moreinfo_6118586.html or http://www.snarkpit.com/maps.php?map=1760 to the map rotation?

I'd love to see my map being played with the Snarkpit members. It's okay you can't. Thanks in advance.

As a rule, I'm not all for adding an authors first maps unless they have the seal of approval from other sources, fellow server admins for instance.

I'll look into getting it playtested by some regulars though, and we'll make a decision based on that Looks good though

Edit - dm_steamlab has been removed from the rotation, due to MORE bugs arising in it, namely prop_physics suffering errors with collisions (ie not colliding at all, and bouncing around the level!).

/me suggests a better dload origin.

Just tried myself - fraid I won't be adding it, simply because it drops as low as 20fps in the main two areas, and considering the levels of detail it just doesn't make sense. Also odd considering the beef of my machine

Sorry mate, I don't think it will make it onto the main rotation until you figure out some optimisation techniques, and work on some of the layout issues.

i didn't have frame rate issues, but i wish this map had passed through the snarkpit cleaning process..

this map could have benefited from a thorough critique.. it has/had so much potential..

my only complaint, the doors were way to narrow.. waaaaayyy to narrow. other than that, no issues architecturally to complain about.

i would have loved this map in the rotation..

Orph, did you put +showbudget on? I got terrible FPS drop in the yard and in the main warehouse, only when looking at certain parts though - kinda sporadic, like dm_park.

will post screens in a few, but methinks you are spoiled.. 35fps is not that bad.

/me is getting about same from that angle too.

/me is fragging "dm_pit2" so screen will be a bit.

I have several, i'll just turn em into JPG's then you can review it. Consider though that I detonated a slam in one of the affected areas and it dropped to 5 fps. I'm not being spoiled, by comparison with the strength of my machine - which is really new. Older machines will just die outright in the outdoor areas, especially when bullets, grenades and props are flying.

A remake of Island is needed badly. Theres a huge shortage of ammo and weapons, its all just machine gun fights. Plus the idea of the colt at the top of the level is stupid- should be something better. [addsig]

I'll try to optimize the map more. But, I'm quite busy right now. Thanks for the input anyway.

Pffft, what would you rather have up there Myrk, the RPG?! The magnum is the best sniping weapon in the game currently as it is near enough instant hit at all ranges, and hugely powerful. The xbow is really tough to use at such range, as you really need to be a second or more ahead of the person in order to hit them and predicting that sort of movement is hugely based on luck. The magnum can nab you several kills from up at that vantage point.

My main criticism with Island 17 is the drowning bug, and lack of health/armour. I think the shortage of weapons kinda works as it pulls players into the combat zone, but if you had sprinkled them around more liberally it would encourage people to spread out too much. As it stands there are plenty of weapon spots from which you can take out people camping the other weapon spots - the magnum in the large building bedroom, the xbow in the red house, the RPG on the rock pillar, and the magnum on the lighthouse. These four locations are the real backbone of the level and you are never too far from them to make a decent effort at reaching them.

you do that, and be sure to request a proper critique.

i would really enjoy seeing this map run. it has its issues, but none that cannot be overcome.

widen those danged doorways.

Gwil, please consider my map dm_allegiance_beta1

It is highly tweaked for excellent gameplay, connectivity and performance

Its a large map great for 16 player team or regular deathmatch

I've been working on it for 4 months and want to playtest it to see what needs to be tweaked next.

We will put it up for testing once we have a couple of other maps in beta ready (tend to get a bigger crowd if its more than just one map I reckon), but as its only beta it won't go into the regular rotation.
