Yes, I know 14 revisions is a lot, but when you try to get every detail right..... It's a CTF map I've been working on for the past few weeks. I know the name is lame for what the map looks like, but I'm thinking of changing the name.

Thanks for taking your time to comment thoroughly.

all good I can get pretty good speed on it :p

The RT lights are dropping my frames <30 in some areas for some reason. Probably the combination of those + water + many brushes.

In general I'm not a fan of tunnels either, but other than that the map is nicely put together.

Yeah, they'll drop you down Sepelio. My 9800GT can barely handle them.... ^.^. If you want, I can remove most of them.....

I don't see how the game play is bad, so whoever voted bad gameplay....please tell how it's bad.....

EDIT: Sepelio, the Quake engine is designed to work well with small tunnels, not outside areas...I'm sure DP has modified it to be less processor-heavy, but I still like tunnels better

I'm running a 9800gt as well funnily enough heh.

Here too

Ok....so back on the topic of the map...I spent an hour today making all of the lights (and more) detail brushes (should have done that in the beginning....d'oh). So, I expect the compile time to be a bit faster, and I'm unsure if it will give an FPS raise......

Also, what else needs to be changed guys!???!!! Help!!!!! HALP!

Revision number. AFAIK you should not use revision numbers >= 10. (Especially for the first public release?!) Don't bump the number up in between compiles locally or whatever, you only need to bump it when the map version is incompatible with the previous one so that clients know they have to fetch a new version.

Nah FruitieX, I disagree with that, because if I go to a new version number, I think the map should be completely revised....based on the original style or original layout, but completely different everywhere else. So I think keeping the revision number higher and higher until it actually does get completely remade is fine...Also, remember lolctf is not going to be the actual name of this map...it's just more of a working name. Once I find a good name, that's what it'll be called, with no extra version or revision tags.

9800GTX 256 bit with 1GB of memory.

the performance is the problem. at point with the nex the framerate goes down to 15fps and at most parts of the maps i have around 30-50fps

(Especially for the first public release?!)

It's the 14th release in the bc servers....

9800GTX 256 bit with 1GB of memory.

Hey can we please not derail this topic? Thanks.

And yes cortez, I know performance is the problem, I've been working on that... What things can I do to improve the performance of it? And, I still need a name for it lol.

my suggestion is remove the rt-lights

I have removed all of them on the jumppads, there are only 3 rtlights left: 1 blue, 1 red, 1 in the middle top area.

Because you have a goddamn nuclear power-plant at home
This map looks nice anyway, I like the lights on many places. Btw your avatar made my day Moo...
