Lowering those legdes isn't the only solution. You could try adding some steps or a cheeky player clip (but make sure that the clip is barely noticable ingame otherwise it will just look funny).

edit: Oh and try halving the size of the white trims you have in a lot of those shots thrown up by Cerious.

 

[Cerious]

Wait, what white trims? Those things at the bottom of the screenie are put up by Imageshack, which hosts the images. I don't know how to get rid of it.

 

[Acegikmo]

Thanks for the images Cerious
I'll fix those for the next version

I feel that between the time blu takes the first point and the time blu takes the second point, that red spawn is problematic.

If red's doing well, they're respawning basically on top of the point, and if blu is doing well red is lucky to make it out of spawn alive.

 

[Acegikmo]

Fixed all those things you mentioned except the cart float thing.
I have no idea why that happens.

And about the second point; is usually ain't that much of a problem during most of the tests I've had. We'll see if it happens again.

Did you notice your map is featured on the front page of FPSB today? Zig was featured yesterday. It's nice attention.

I didn't notice that; thanks for letting me know

Yeah, only lasts 24 hours, but it's good nonetheless.

Little men steal our arch!

The arch looked very unnatrual; and the beams around it just contribute to the bad fps.
But what do you think?
Better/worse?

 

[YM]

can soldiers get up there? if so - awesome, if not - lets have the arch back!

 

[MangyCarface]

Better! Also, the land bridge that the payload crosses after CP1 looks a bit strange, try making it just like the surrounding land, with a flat top with dirt/grass.

Yes they can

Yeah, it looks a bit strange, but last time I tried it looked very strange and the displacements were unsewable. If there was no tunnel there it would be alot easier.

Love the small healthpack on the tower where the arch used to be!

This map is in rotation at the Agent Cartoons n' Carnage server, fyi

Good work dude

 

[tok_vaal]

Added this to the Beta Testing Facility server.

Nice work!

Seems logical that you can get up there. You should be able to, anyway, considering the short way from the metal cover to the top of the rock. It's much better, even if the arch was pretty.

Yeah. I didn't think the arch look pretty though.
Chunky, unnatrual and unaligned.

Looks like I managed to balance Repository, here is the team win stats from Canard PC:

That's 50.85% Red and 49.15% for Blue
