Mapcycle Zombie Survival

[Stelk]

To balance it you have to recreate it.

[Deluvas]

i have to edit it ...yes, but it's no big deal .. i'll make an entrance to the secret room, without teleport, is that ok? and rethink the map strategy? :-<

[Stelk]

I dont think that will balance the map. For example take the fact that everyone goes to the roof and spawncamp the zombies. The zombies has only 1 way to the roof. The map also got FPS drop, check if its properly optimized.

About the secret, you can simply delete the button or the wohle area to make it run faster.

The maps are fine as they are

zs_tug_hut is BBBBOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINGGGGGGGG!!!

If you remove a secret room, you should delete it entirly, as it increases FPS. Optimisation is as important as the good looks of a map.

zs_tug_hut is

but there are TOO many healthchargers and it has too stupid secrets

No need to break the page layout there

Thanks for going off screen-limet.. really usefull... not...

The healthchargers are ok, they can't do shit in basement anyway.

[Damien]

healthchargers should be banned. real players don't need them.

You can earn health by killing and thats enough,

maybe put more health vials in the map so noobs can get health.

It looks a little... wrong... I don't know why

[Donlan]

The horrible fog that murders my FPS regardless an the weird prop choices seems weird to me

[Chikennugget1]

Strange...it doesn't happens to me,have you got an old computer or a recent? (I can remove the fog if it make everyone bugs),Hobo>>why is it wrong???

I checked out the ghost canal map. It's more a deathmatch map than a real zombie survival map. Humans have no place to hide. You set up the spawn wrong (use team spawns, not just info_player_start). The map doesn't have much detail and is kind of empty higher up. The rising water is pretty cool but not really adding to the game itself.

[Chikennugget1]

I see :/

I can make some tunnels under the map for hiding.

By murdering my FPS I don't mean it lags me to unplayable lengths, or to an unplayable frame rate; I could be playing at 80-90 fps, but then if fog was added it'd cause a drop to like 60-70 which to a lower preforming card would cause a fair amount of trouble.

Plus fog doesn't really look that good in the source engine due to the fact that in the distance when the fog covers a building it looks more like a graphics anomaly than an engine effect.

[A Random Hobo]

Fog only is good if the end level is right behind the start level (zm_distant?)

Also, it needs to fully cover it, and there be a cut off after that distance

Stelk has to change his naming scheme, this is pretty confusing for a new map that isn't the same as zs_darkvilla_v1

[Chikennugget1]

Ok,ok,I listened (or read maybe) what you said.I tried to add some decorations to make the map less "empty",I've added 4 rooms (Yeah,you will see a kind of lab,a gaz room,a water zone with a zombie prisoner , and a hided mini room (Clavus,you said that humans can't hide,now they can).

Here is link (with three pics these time and the tags bugs )

The only bug I noticed is two buggy lights (you will see a red light trail on some parts of the bridges,and the car light which comes too far) For the moment I can't fix it correctly,but I will do it later

If you find othe bugs,please tell me!

For the FPS I checked there isn't a huge difference,but I saw it changes,according to the area you're looking at,I'm optimizing the map

EDIT: Oh damn...my connection is slow this night,pictures are not uploaded don't know why

[Damien]

Looks darkish

[Chikennugget1]

Bad?If you talk about the screens,they are just bmp I converted in png but it's less dark in game,also there is a graphic difference between gmod an hl2mp that's why I couldn't see the light bugs before I test in gmod.

[Damien]

I like dark

Also, I scrambled the mapcycle.

We could make a poll to see which maps are in favour of the public and which are not.
