I've had a run though of the map, here's my thoughts from a single player experience:

  • The push triggers for the ball are a little too large. I've regularly had the ball jump into the air when getting close to the serving pipe. One thing I've noticed throughout years of making Pipeball maps is that trigger volumes for physics objects activate over a far larger area than their actual physical area of the volumes themselves.
  • To that point, scoring a goal through the flippers is nigh impossible. I was only able to score a goal by shooting the ball down the gutters, and even then it was 50/50. I think spacing the flippers out a little more is needed, as well as shrinking their associated push triggers.
  • Some textures are missing. I reccomend you use Compile Pal
  • Needs more cover. You know those triangular bumpers that you see on real pinball tables? Yeah. Those would do wonders. Also, make the existing bumpers taller so players can hide behind them, along with the serving pipe.

It really does have some promise, I hope you'll continue

Thanks for the feedback, I'll get right to it.

I did however use Compile Pal, but I might have selected the wrong file or did it wrong.

I know I already mentioned it in the original post, but thank you for making this gamemode. Way better than passtime in a thousand ways.

I've noticed from the notes on the bot's maplist that you're asking server mods to adjust cvars? Or are you using vscript to handle them?

I have a script that automatically changes these Cvars. However, incase the script fails, they can change it themselves. That's why I said to make sure the cvars are set as so.
