Hi Guys,

Unless someone finds some major errors in the map, this will most likely be my RO3 Contest Entry and I'd like to say thanks for all the help - your feedback has been invaluable

Here's what been changed for B20

- the trigger hurts in the tunnels have been replaced by func_nobuilds that will toggle on/off as needed. My original goal was to keep players from camping out in them and building stuff - this solves that problem without having to penalize players by killing them.
- very slight texture work
- I put a dynamic arro on the teleporter booth to indicate where ot at least which direction you are going to get teleported to.
- at the request of players in last night's test, I have put in two launch pads into the middle battle zone, in bot testing they have proved to be a fun addition and should also help speed up the game play in the center. Now you can launch your enemy into space easier while avoiding going up yourself as I have raised the ceiling further

Enjoy!

- Finally found the cause of some doors acting erratically - somehow a close trigger got place onto a func_build brush - all doors working correctly now.

This is the final version

- fixed an exploit found on the version 21 test
- fixed a visual error on one of the forcefields - a shadow box was appearing for some reason.

Thais will be my contest entry - no further changes unless someone posts of finds a MAJOR error.

R03 Contest Entry - bug fixe

- increased size of nobuild so people can't grief by placing tele exit next to the catapult that launches you upwards
- added in nobuild in front of teleporter booth - potential for abuse - i.e. tele exit next to the tele entrance to the tower could enable a player to go straight from spawn to the tower via this logic: player leaves spawn, stands on tele entrance, exits, bounding box of player hits the tele trigger for the tower and immediately gets tele'd to the tower room giving the impression that they've gone from spawn to the tower room instantly. This can still happen if engies build an entrance/exit at spawn/tower room, but the defending team will have a chance to destroy any exits they see there but the can't in the above set up. So I'm killing this potential exploit that was seen last night in testing,
- fixed shadow bug on the forcefields, they are now set to disable receiving shadows and hopefully that does the trick and you will no longer see a square shadow outline if standing in the forcefield
- removed the flashing warning light on the jump pad, replaced it with an arrow pointing up, it was annoying as hell and I was also concerned that the flashing electric light could trigger photo epiliptic shock, it really did a number on my eyes

That should be all the bugs looked after - will submit for another test

RO3 - last map fix

- changed medium health kit a location X to match the small health kit at location Y - to that both sides of this mirrored type map is correctly balanced on both sides. said med kit was in a major combat zone and the extra health could cause an imbalance or unfair advantage for one team over he other.

That's it - no more changes - change made at the below time and is within the 48 hour bug window

Dang - When I made the changes to remove two of the cap points for you guys because it's what you wanted, I completely missed the fact that it would remove an element for the R03 contest.

I am reverting the download back to version 16 for the contest

Sorry about the confusion.

Please judge this version

Changes

- Got rid of the teleporter to tower room
- Got rid of the tunnel underground
- Got rid of the access door to the tunnel leading to the tower complex

- Added in Door beneath the tower complex that is a part of a new flanking route that goes directly from bridge area to the tower complex - battles and flanking much more direct and more inside away from the low grav exterior. Attacker can build anything in it Defenders - only sentry guns can go into certain areas but tele's and dispensers still allowed to keep them from overpowering a flanking route.
