Monster Mash - Give life back to the pieces of your enemies and fight the monsters you create.

A Halloween player destruction map with mad scientist themes, set in a castle where players must collect buckets of their enemy's spare body parts and bring them to a giant Reanimator at the center of the Nucleus-inspired map. Fight off the monsters the Reanimator coughs back up at you or sit back to take a sip from a potion bottle, the choice is yours.

Made in conjunction with @SedimentarySocks and @fuzzymellow for the Summer 2017 72hr Jam.

Man,I love this map!So much so that I downloaded it,ran around and looked for various bugs,which I've never done before with any maps.
Here's what I've found:
65266-7cacbaadc87d7c205f8e6d53a20baaa1.jpg

Those railings aren't clipped,so you bounce around while walking on 'em.
65267-7a4c4593ae75f048f3b75cac12373dfb.jpg

Those stairs' change appearance a bit if you move around in that area.
65268-877b734b6ff6ea4961e6533bd5f23a06.jpg

I think that the particle,or whatever it is,that points to the center of the map and shows where to store bodyparts is supposed to be shown all around the map,but it doesn't. In this room for example.If it wasn't supposed to be show everywhere,then ignore those two sentences.
65269-b765c18ef4e31aa0fc08bf22f610ce1a.jpg

This is the farthest you can jump out of that window as the Scout ad you can still see that that minerette prop is flying in the air.
65271-98c9cd2a261b2ff69dccc343eecb397e.jpg

I think those chains aren't supposed to clip through metal like that in real life.
65272-651e46125b66cfbb257e9b7e1c64b854.jpg

No one is probably going to see this in-game,but this white smudge is kinda weird.
65273-9b721e9f5b2bd46eb034d9dda7f6985a.jpg

The trigger on this cabinet is kinda big.I think.
65274-d0b11576a90056e4ddc631b413d61719.jpg

I think those black "holes" should be covered up somehow.
65275-7f1aacc0e1de549c608ecc04b095d347.jpg

This texture is shiny for some reason and I don't think that it should in this particular case.
65277-f8447bfa3ebea1fee74db24a75a06c2a.jpg

The chains look weird.

All goofs aside,this is a great looking map and it will probably look even better when the skybox is added.

Most of your images are broken, so I can't quite tell what most of the feedback is. Can you fix them?

Sorry for the wait,I didn't have access to my computer.
If it still doesn't work,then I'm even more of an idiot that I think I am.

Monster Mash, more like Monster Mash-up-of-things-that-make-a-really-fun-map.


Nah, but this map looks rad as frickenstein's monster.
