Very good.

So, if there are no big overbearing problems with this version, will you not release another for a while?

If so, I'm unsure as to why you didn't call it "b3", instead of test7b.

It's a test7b because betas are for sober people.

It's called "test" because it's not actually a release. I only put beta in the name if I'm going to widely release it, and it doesn't really make sense to call it an alpha. The idea is I'll quickly follow it up with a release (it just didn't happen with test6).

Up until tonight I've been unable to access this site. Now that I can I'll try and get some more tests in.

Just in case you ever have this problem again, clear your DNS cache or use Google DNS, it usually fixes it.

I was trying to grab test7b to replace my old beta 2 copy, but whenever I try, I get an "Invalid File ID."

Known problem or what?

I'd also like to grab this version. Can Herr Doktor Spud please add a new download link? Thanks!

I'd re-upload that version, but it might not be worth the trouble in a few days.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh, happy day. I was just thinking about how there's a definite dearth of quality non-PL A/D maps, and was wondering if we were ever going to get a new version of HAARP.

Okay here's the deal: this is Operation Finish the Damn Map. There are a few layout changes in this version, and we're going to try them out. The next release will be the final map. No matter what. That means if these changes don't fly, they're out and the last iteration of the map will be the final release (along with the graphical updates in this build, of course).

At the very latest, I'll be releasing the final build at the end of this week. For real this time!

Good for you! I wish I had the strength to do the same for my contest map á la 2009.
Going to be fun to play some a/d ctf again

Speaking of graphical updates, I really want you to replace those big white machine things near third stage spawn and the overhead monitors with real models. They really stand out, especially now that Rexy's awesome computer thingies are in there.
