Hahaha, thanks. I played DMC for the first time last night and went 193 frags on DM2 Claustrophobopolis. Guy in first had 194, everyone else wasn't even close. I love Quake1 so much.

It's probably too late to mention, but you can kill entities permenantly by tossing them in front of the train. I even managed to get a car down there and have it be dragged into the void by that train.

Yes, the train proved to be somewhat troublesome in that way. The actual tunnel extends pretty far and ends in a pit (all unviewable and nodraw'd) right past where the train teleports. The pit is designed to catch any entities. What would happen is that a person could toss a whole bunch of crap down there (2 cars, 3 combine pods that used to be in the level, the dumpster, soda machine, etc) and it would all get pushed to the end of the tunnel. The train was unable to hit it's path point and it would just never return, but you could hear it rumbling still. So I put the pit there to catch physics objects to avoid this problem. Yes, you wind up losing objects, but I think I have enough weapons and respawnable boxes and barrels to keep people occupied until the next map.

One of the problems that can happen is you can get an object down there and it will catch between the train and the part of the arch that extends past the platform. The train will try to push the physics object out of the way and can't move until it does so. This can take anywhere from under a minute for smaller objects (radiator, file cabinet), to about 5 minutes for something large like the dumpster or soda machine. Eventually the train just cuts through the object or annihilates it completely.

I'm curious, how the hell did you get the car down there? Originally you could get them down through the front entrance, but I built the green part specifically to stop that from happening since the cars had a tendancy to stop the train for a long time. I thought it was impossible to get cars down there at this point.

I took it right through that green part, it wasn't hard at all. Getting it on its side took 3 seconds at most.

I've got the problem of cars being too easily moveable at the moment Kinda sucks - I don't want to create any really small doorways or anything and although my current ones dont feel large you can fit the cars through with a little effort. If players get the cars into the corridors its pretty bad, and if they reach the sewers then gameplay would be ruined

Ah! I thought I made that small enough for the cars not to go through! Well hopefully no one will get any bright ideas. The cars are a problem in that you want to take advantage of their size with the gravity gun, but you don't want them to block important parts of the map. You could just leave them as is and make them virtually unmovable, but it's not as fun.


SPEAKING OF PROBLEMS

I just caught the map on a server rotation and went in to join, and the server told me I had a different version of dm_casual. So I renamed my file and downloaded the map. It was the exact same map, with the exact same file size. What the hell happened there?

And also, if anyone has any idea why the sounds won't play for the func_tracktrains when the level is made server (http://www.snarkpit.com/forums.php?forum=6&topic=3386&2), that's pretty frustrating.


btw Myrk that gif rules.

i think the versions that were different was one had "buildcubemaps" run on it, and the other did not. You think maybe that happened? [addsig]

First images looks funny becouse the bench is in the player smiley <br> <br>second image , looks verry nice i think smiley maybe a bit empty but architecture is nice smiley <br> <br>third image looks nice too, only the light inside of the petrol station is verry bright, you might want to make that slightly dimmer or maybe change the color a bit
