Don't try to run it in singleplayer or under HLDM, or it WILL crash.

are you planning on making this a singleplayer or multiplayer mod? cause you could easily turn off the SP functions in the menu GUI if your going MP. checkout "liblist" i believe its game_mode "multiplayer" check other mods for exact entry.

P.S. if you are planning on SP mod, i believe the crash is due to you not setting the startmap "name here.bsp" in your liblist file. trainningmap "name here.bsp" is another you may want to put in, thats your hazard map.

You'll need an image editor :/

they posted the news I sent them about your map goll

Wow, nice one Korn   Thanks very much.

*wipes brow*  Phew, a successful playtest!  And I assume it didn't crash once or suffer from bad lag??  How many players did you have in total?

Any details about the installation problems?

The corridors thing is a fair comment - there are a lot of them!  One of the major problems with this map is that, until you know what all the doors do and know all the routes, you'll find it *very* tough to escape the corridor network and may end up lost in a maze of corridors.

Now, my intended style of gameplay is a little different - I would like the corridors mainly to be used for quick movement between the larger rooms.  In the corridors themselves fighting is going to be very cramped and limited, but I hope in the rooms there will be more variety.

Maybe I can tweak the items a bit to encourage players to get out of the corridors and into the rooms (?)  I've left the power weapons in the rooms but there's still a fair few items in the corriodors.  What do you think?

Obviously the purpose of the door delay is to allow tactical use of the doors, but the fact that you can accidentally block yourself off, simply by experimenting with them, is frustrating.

Hmmm, I'm clearly going to have to cut back on some more entities if the map is crashing.

Were the crashes immediate on load, or did they happen some time after the map had started?

It's not just you, the revolver secondary really is screwed.

The wall supports and stuff are good ideas; unfortunately I won't be able to implement them in this map but I should like to use more "integrated" lighting in any future projects.

I should be able to get in a four player playtest next weekend.

I I spent a few minutes in it today getting myself crushed by the boulder, which was amusing with no one else in the mapa ta all

We played it for quite some time Gollum, prolly about 30 minutes or so, and nobody crashed out. We were playing with 5 of us in total, varying from hi spec machines running on OpenGL, to one running on software mode on a 1GHz celeron. Our only problem was the installation problem, which I *think* was caused by me copying the files out of the zip rather than extracting. You see it only pasted one file although I had copied all of them, so I then extracted them all to the right place but didn't overwrite the DLL (the only file it had originally copied), which may have not been copied fully or something. The others then installed it via the CD and when trying to connect to my server it said the DLLs differed. Once I reinstalled it, everything went fine.

So all in all, I think it was my bad rather than any problem with the installation files.
