Double post, but:

I've never been so confused yet interested at the same time.

 

[Sergis]

the map seems fine to me. fix choke, fix logs and go artpass

 

[Freyja]

I have uploaded a8 now. I havn't had it tested yet, but it fixes;

The choke, hopefully, by adding a new path, opening that door and fixing a bit of the sniper line,
widens the opening are out a bit, hopefully making it less spammy,
fixes the magical log once and for all (I promise)

 

[Sergis]

i can still break it by going under the claw as it goes down

 

[Freyja]

Well fine. I'll make it enable a small clip around it then.,

 

[Sergis]

what will happen to me if i stand there before the clip enables?

edit: you could just make the claw nonsolid. its small enough for that. also, the log clips through me if i stand on it while it's being lifted up. only way i know to fix that is to use func_tracktrain for the log collisions.

 

[Freyja]

I'll enable a trigger push then, you POOPY HEAD

 

[Sergis]

well, you'll have to parent it to the log incase i decide to jump on it when its already going up. i'm not sure, but i think parented triggerpushes are rather crappy.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Use a func_conveyor.

 

[Micnax]

Make it have a trigger_hurt with crush damage.

Just to teach him a lesson.

So todays test had very little feedback besides the little nigglies (like that accursed log getting jammed by Doom...)

I'm starting to think that it may be time to pull out for a while and work on a beta. Probably 1 or 2 more alphas at most.

Beta will be a hefty chunk of work, artpass (I have big plans for things), the finale will require some fancy models, particles and animations. Lots of displacements, optimizations, and custom content to go in. Should be fun.

 

[Tom Hoen]

Already going beta and some of us haven't even released a1 .___. Seems like I have to start working harder.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

... nigglies ...

This word is fantastic.

Opening Area: a1 -> a10

Point A: a1 -> a10

Point B: a1 -> a10

Point C: a1 -> a10

Final Point: a1 -> a10

Dynamic Element: a1 -> a10


I have uploaded a10, both to the thread and servers. The next version you will see (probably in a while) will be beta 1, fully artpassed. Any major layout complains should be given soon, or else I'll be a lot more unlikely to change it.

I remember making that same joke with a doorway in slush.

 

[RaVaGe]

a10 ? I'm not even at my second checkpoint :/

 

[Vincent]

Aly seems to have a lot of free time. Have you changed your building that houses the dynamic element since a4? I remember that being a camp fest, or an incredibly fast blitz by BLU. I cant check the map on my phone so I will when I get the chance. I think you should do more testing before going into beta after JUST 2 weeks.

 

[Freyja]

I would love that too, but no one's giving me any major feedback in the last few tests so.
