Well, I just got it and played it for about 45 minutes, so far only seen stuff that's already been pointed out to be honest, and even that aren't the most blatant oddities in the map, some took me a while to spot haha.
I'll have another look later on, and then another one tomorrow, see if I cancome up with anything.
The flow of the map is great, I think it will be a nice dm map with some more players, haven't played against anyone on it yes, but it feels so smooth, and the connectivity is pretty damn good.
Good work reaper, love this map, makes me want to get more into hl2dm.

Yea, I mean, I avoid doing anything fancy like putting in singleplayer NPCs, server-side ragdolls, too complicate physics constructs... But an elevator? HL1 and all its mods had not the slightest problems with things much more complicated than elevators. No other game has.
Instead of toys like the stock market for CSS they could start fixing up the real bugs. Like the lights lying on the floor even in dm_powerhouse. It's really annoying.![<img src=]()

That's verry interesting info there reaper47.
I'll still need to testplay your map, kinda busy with another game now, but I'll give it ago once I manage to get some good spare hours to run around in it.

An important update on the slow moving func_tracktrain.
It's a bug with servers running maps with func_tracktrains or func_doors and "tick 100" rate. Tick 66 or 33 works fine. There's nothing I can do about it. It's up to Valve. I could be able to hack it now, that I know what causes it but it might also be a good reason to run lower tick rates as this is not only a bug for my map but for any map having a func_door or func_tracktrain.
Stupid Source engine.

Thanks. I generally miss direct midday sunlight in HL2DM maps and try to incorporate as much of it as possible. Most maps have either dawn, night-time or gray, cloudy environment lights which I'm a bit bored with. I intend to keep the contrast. Maybe adjust it a bit but not likely.

This map looks pretty nice, but indeed it seems to be verry well lit 'naturally' for such a city.
Maybe a simple solution would be to make the sunlight less bright ,and to add more man made lights.

I got to play the map on a few servers now an none had the elevator bug. Fortunately it seems to be a very specific bug that only happens from running a few more exotic mapcycles or settings.
So server-admins, don't be scared, it runs fine

Great, skyjack, this is as helpful as it can get, thanks. Do you have the IP address?

I'll run this on my Ratz HL2dm server and see how it plays. Please keep updated with the final version.

Whether you meant it as such or not, I take that as a compliment Master Finger.
So many here show so much more ability than myself that its a joy to share their company.
