PL Waste V2

[Icarus]

That's a problem with payload, not the map

Important notice, as most people seemed to have overlooked the update. I keep finding more people I talk to every day with outdated servers :E

pl_waste_final.bsp is bugged.
If you are running pl_waste_final.bsp, please update to the most recent version, pl_waste.bsp.
My apologies for any inconvenience.

As some of you may already know, I'm currently working on an update for pl_waste

Changes are made to further streamline the layout to improve gameflow. CP2 will no longer be a point of stalemate (that sometimes never-ending adds time to the clock)

Probably the biggest of many changes:

I'll be taking any late feedback as I develop this further. All the better if you can catch me on one of the test sessions.

Whats the name going to be now that both pl_Waste and pl_Waste_Final have been used?

I think in the chat, he decided on pl_waste2, but I could be wrong.

 

[Nutomic]

But, isnt the map name just with a number at the end more like a completely new map? Like de_dust and de_dust2, which dont really have anything to do with each other.

(Was written in some thread about versions here in the board)

But i guess there wont be so much other possibilities for a name, so...

I'm more familiar with numbers being a new version, not a new map.

In tfc for example there was: 2fort4, rock2, well6 (not 100% sure on this one), crossover2 and more...

And this is why you never release a map without a suffix.

 

[Tinker]

Could always call it pl_taste

or pl_haste

or pl_paste

or pl_chaste

No-one will notice the difference!

 

[Icarus]

Personally, I'd much rather have maps that end with _v2 _v3 than _rc


_rc sounds silly

Triple Testing:

Was fun time clearly one team was better than the other, i think the balence is prefect and should stay along with ammo and heath placement.

Only thing i noticed is the kart flipin out, never noticed that before but apparently it happens alot i guess i never noticed that.

 

[Icarus]

Unless anyone has anything to add, I think this is ready for release.

 

[Radaka]

Do it!

That is where I lag the most. Next in order of lag is the last point area. Outside my framerate is as it should be.

I think thats a TF2 issue, not a map issue. Sometimes the cart will spin sideways or do a full flip.

 

[Mr. P. Kiwi]

This is a great map! Personnally I realy liked it.
Note for you: Do change the changes that DaBeatzProject had suggested you to make... Than your map will be even better!
