PL_Hell_Island RC1

Well after almost one year of development - Hell Island RC1 is completed.

I don't expect any more changes unless someone reports a bug.

Here is the changelog:

• made further enhancements to the lighting
• added in the last of the details
• finished the jumpscare trap logic > I didn't want to give it away too soon > but two of them will kill you and the third rewards you with a nice rare spellbook
• some more texture work

A special thanks goes out to Stack_Man and Gidi30 for helping solve a lot of the logic bugs that kept propping up. Even though I've been mapping for a LONG time - there's still pesky bugs that come up sometimes

Note: Map runs pretty high in edicts <1600 with 32 players

• added in a second alternate path to the skull entrance to help blue during the 2nd point's battle area
• extensive custom nav_mesh done for better bot performance
• major optimization work done, a markedly improved fps rate
• more detailing including the cutting down of some of the sightlines to make it harder for snipers to get easy kills.
• put a timer onto the spellbooks so no more spell spamming - cuts down on the chaos factor

• fixed the bug with the HHH dying and bullets passing thru the payload
• reduced the number of entities for better stability for 32 players

Version B9 Changelog (map is bascially done):

• finalized lighting
• a lot more detail
• cut down the skeletons
• fixed a bug whereby both the Skeletons and the Headless Horseman died instantly when touching the payload - they don't die now and can still attack you when riding the cart
• added in nobuild brushes at the teleports to the jumpscare traps so players can't build teletraps
• made the scream sound in the jumpscares local for the client only, all players will no longer hear it
• fixed 2 flaoting props
• lowered the amount of spell books in the map to stop spamming them everywhere

The next release might be he final version based on results from this version

Note: Map is heavy on the entity count - map was designed for 32 players.

B8 Changelog

• added in teleport for blue starting spawn so that players can go back and forth between rooms during setup time, also makes things a little more challenging for red at the start to know where the main attack is going to come from
• fixed all issues found in the last test
• did a LOT more detailing of the map
• changed overworld exit behaviour for players - you will now spawn closer to the cart based on it's location
• fixed part of the frog god's pillars that were breaking before they were supposed to
• removed rare spells as requested - all are stock items now
• added in two banannas to indicate a slippery section
• removed the custom respawn cabinets, ammo pickups etc to resolve any potentail copyright issues with those assets going forward
• removed the portal prop at blue's starting spawn as players thought they could go thru it to somewhere
• more lighting work
• more player clips added for the detailing and adjusted some others

B7 Changelog

• fixed the issue of b6 not being packed properly
• new custom nav_mesh for better bot behaviour
• fixed teleporter bug (on exit) for red team when going into the overworld
• enabled spellbook HUD so that players now know what spells they have picked up
• removed some old player clips that prevented a player from falling into a deathpit < you're welcome LOL

B6 Change Log:

• more ligthing work
• scaled back Skeleton health even more - easier to kill but makes the total mayhem event MUCH MORE FUN!! I have a good laugh playing this version.
• cart now travels to the overworld and both teams will have to fight it out there to kee the cart moving
• a lot more detailing of the map
• debugged 2 monos that were not firing properly
• got rid of the death pit mechanics that pulled you into your death
• shrunk down the size of the death pit inside the main temple entrance
• added in trugger hurt so that if the temple doors close on you you now die instead of geting stuck
• all resupply cabinets are working
• blue now spawns on both sides of cap point 3 which helps them from being spawn camped and gives them easier access to the farf flanking route
• toned down some of the particle effects which should help with frame rates even though map consitently had good fps already
• fixed the jumpscare traps including the teleporters and kill triggers inside the trap events
• added in a health activator so that you will get full health upon leaving the overworld
• moved the above exits into a more suitable spot on the map for both teams
• modified the end cap destruction of the frog god so it's much more dramatic
• added in spell books and halloween mode
• added in a no build zone so red team can't put a wrangled sentry gun and just shoot point number one
• modified some sightlines to make it harder for snipers
• added in a bot teleporter for red team in the temple where bots tended to run and get stuck even when told not to go to that spot

enjoy!

- in addition to all the items found in version B4, I have fixed the bugs found in version B4.

b5 should nw be working properly - sorry for the confusion

Version B4 Change Log:

• added in the overworld into the map for a trip like you've never had before
• more debugging of game logic - mostly the death traps / random teleportation
• added in the cart teleportation while the overworld is active
• redesigned some of the temple - a litlle more variation, a couple of one way doors so red can't flank and spawn camp as easily
• more lighting work
• wells are now death pits - don't fall in
• a little more detailing

Depending on how this one goes - this one should be the final version before completing the full detailing of the map - the map might still have a little too much mayhem going on in it - but I love mayhem makes me think less about stuff - lol.

And welcome to Hell - TF2 style
