MVM Aeon A16

[Yaki]

Due to the high volume of logic in this map, LAG WILL OCCUR! To mitigate this...

• Removed big func_nav_prerequisite on beach telling robots to go to CP1 (now just uses one block trigger at BLU spawn)
• Fixed bug with a filter that tracking RED or obj_* (not RED and obj_*).
• Switched to condition-reapplication loop-system my other map uses. (Berserker)
• Reduced number of entities each Engineer building uses.
• Enhanced areaportals and hint/skip to improve performance in certain areas.

Other Major Changes for A11

• Sapper now on weapon whitelist, due to not being deletable!
• Fixed crash where a player could keep destructing/rebuilding fast enough as Engineer that it breaks the server. Caused due to filters processing NULL.
• (Hopefully) fixed nav bug where robots try to go through the closed RED-only door.
• After CP1 capture then the bomb spawning, robots will try to go to the bomb instead of the bombsite.
• Fixed areaportals not closing when doors close.
• Fixed Tankdoors not destroying buildings.
• Added feature allow users to go into thirdperson.
• Fixed bug with forward upgrade station where it didn't enable on pre-wave setup.
• Fixed bug with forward upgrade station where it locked players in melee permanently on wave start.
• Fixed the sun. Now it shines!
• (Hopefully) Fixed stuttering while floating on top of water. (I added a trigger_push on top of the water pointing downward)

Engineer Buildings

• All Buildings
  • No longer regenerates. (Due to server performance issues)
  • No longer needs to be at full health to work.
  • Max HP now capped at 200. Bucket has 80.
  • Buildings start at 50 HP (instead of 1). Bucket starts at full HP.
  • (Test) Made prop parenting delay tighter to prevent ghost props.
  • Buildings cost 50% to place compared to normal buildings.

• Ballista
  • Now only costs 15 HP (from 18) to fire an arrow.
  • Must be >65 HP to use it.

• Dummy

  • Must be >16 HP to use it.
  • Uber lasts 3 seconds.
  • Fixed bug where it flashed excessively.

• Grill
  • Now gives infinite air jumps instead of increased jump height.
  • Now only restores 50% HP always (instead of upgrading from 20/40/60/80/100% over time). Still heals in radius.
  • Only requirement to create Meat is it must have >16 HP. Meat costs nothing.
  • Meat respawns after 3 seconds of pickup.
  • Reduced buff time from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.
  • No longer makes HPKit pickup sound everywhere.
  • Fixed bug where Huntsman arrow igniter was disabled on first construction.

for sake of clarity, what do those tags do?

bot_giant is probably your average stun aversion tag but the others sound like they have some funny business tied to them

Hi, I added descriptions for these tags for a11. They do add funny things, currently not used in any missions yet. Scroll up to check 'em out.

Good news everybody! (again!)

• There was a crash in the previous version. However, good news is I suspect it had to do with how drowning is handled--Perhaps if a trigger is triggered while there is a delay in that same trigger, it will break something. So I've sent a CancelPending to this trigger that is run so often.
• Hopefully, this will be the last stability upgrade.

Major Changes of A14

• Fixed Canteen Specialist from being Engie-exclusive (now all-class).
• Added RecomputeBlockers after CP is captured, and when doors close and open.
• Added func_brush to prevent robots from trying to go through closed doors.
• Fixed spies getting in RED respawn? Hopefully.
• Remove phys explosions on Ballista bombs.
• Tanks should now drop health packs and ammo via cash. Use "tank_dead_relay" to trigger it.
• Made floating on water surface less stuttery?
• Fixed ballista getting stuck at full health if 2+ Engineers thwack the building at once.
• Two relays condensed into one (called "oceanlevel_relay")
• Removed templates "cp1_oceanlevel_*" (tied to above note).
• Fixed bug with players drowning on respawn.
• Fixed bug where speed penalty in water wasn't working. ("move speed bonus resource level" didn't work)
• Fixed bad clipping on rock in front beach area.
• Fixed cash not giving money after wave end.
• Fixed red buffs not being applied immediately on respawn.

A14 Testing Log
So in last night's test, the server crashed about two times in 2 hours. Massive improvement! I suspect this has something to do with the CPs, because crash 1 we all were fighting on CP1, and crash 2 I finished capturing CP2. So I've got that going for me.

The Engineer buildings are stable and work as intended. Only thing now is you can make a zillion Mini-sentries because of how the logic works.

The slow mechanic in the water is horrendous, and will be removed the coming update.

Floating on the water surface still stutters.

And among some other minor issues, I want to revise the layout of a lot of the map still. No notes on this yet, will get to that.

EDIT: And I forgot to replace the relays for ocean rise and fall in the Janitor Aisle 5 mission.

Thanks, and best wishes.

 

[Yaki]

Major Changes for A15

• Removed rock formation up front.
• Extended bomb alert zone to bomb hatch.
• Fixed func_brush doors sending being sent wrong input.
• Further improved performance by removing buff-application loop system for BLU.
• Made tanksaw's sawblade non-solid.
• Made Ballista bombs quieter.
• Fixed bug where cp1_ironman_relay wasn't being triggered when enabled.
• Fixed bug where some CP1 triggers were set to fire only once.
• Remove slower movement speed debuff from being in water.
• Made water less stuttery?
• Fixed T_Aeon_Giant_Soldier_Paintrain using Demoman gatebot light.
• Fixed nav bug: Robots shouldn't try to go through closed doors anymore!

Mechanic Changes

• CP1 can't be blocked by RED during BLU capture.
• Increased capture time from 8 seconds to 15 seconds.
• Capture progress clears as quickly as Mannhattan.
• Added alarm SFX when bots are nearing CP1.
• Shrunk CP1 capture area.

Engineer Buildings

• Bucket Crossbow
  • Few bugs that I can't fix.
  1. Unable to haul.
  2. Doesn't shoot immediately.
  3. Disposible only shoots if hit...

Missions
Janitor Aisle 5: Removed "relay_oceanlevel_raise" relays. Added a new wave for kicks.

[Yaki]

Alright, so the source of the crashes were from filters trying to process <NULL> in the weapon stripping system. What this means is, well 1. I found the bug and 2. I need to update the map!

Will be updating in the coming hours most likely. Stay Tuned!

 

[Yaki]

Major Changes for A16

Layout Changes

• The bomb site and the hallway to it have been moved vertically downward.
• Most of the map (about 50%~) can be covered in water with the right conditions.
• There's a tunnel, which only a tank can pass by destroying the barrier. When the barrier is destroyed, the inside area of the map can be flooded from the outside water.
• Capturing CP2 can repair this barrier and clear the water inside, but not outside.

Other Major Changes

• Fixed clipping on big rocks on left of beach.
• Fixed tank door closing on wave end.
• Re-added func_respawnroom to RED respawn room.
• Fixed CP2 being cappable pre-wave.
• Added trigger_hurt to some areas where money gets hard to retrieve.
• Added Cow Mangler to blacklist. (Whoops!)
• Added SAPPER to Whitelist. (I can't get the thing bug-proof. Sapper is available if the round restarts with an Engineer and Spy...)
• Most tags were removed in A15 (forgot to say)
  
• Minis and disposibles currently the normal ones. (for now)

Missions

• Janitor Aisle 5: Totally revamped. It's a new mission!
