Can we get an update on your maps you're working on porting? Plus the ones that need modifications?

sorry, but this is where you get the bad news. i'm done porting for now. now that i'm finished with the MCAT, i'm decompressing and i wish to play a bit because i have only played once all summer (i want a week or two to actually play). after all the work that i have done on all the other maps, it made me want to make another one of my own from scratch. of course that hasn't started yet, but it will.
after all the maps that i ported over, it seemed obvious that they weren't very popular in the CTF scene. it seems to me that people like small levels where scores get racked up really high. of course you know that this isn't the kind of maps that i like to play and build. i will have to keep this in mind when i build my next map, but do still expect it to be much bigger then pedistal.
of course if you have any special request or have past requests that i forgot about, feel free to let me know and i can get to it.

Yeah its a tough cut after all the hard work you did. llenta wrote:of course you know that this isn't the kind of maps that i like to play and build. i will have to keep this in mind when i build my next map, but do still expect it to be much bigger then pedistal. Just an idea but the tomb is a 32 player server maybe someday a 32 player map? You wanna take this to Fuck Town? Oh gadzooks, yes!

Actually I have a port (mod) job in mind that I think will have a big impact around here...
In the last couple of days I have found and loaded Atomic Garden onto the server but the standard Atomic Garden that I found is different than the one that is currently so popular on the FC server. I think Machinehead modified the old version for his server. I am thinking we do something similar for our server to make it how we think it should be. The map is older and I have not seen any mention as to who originally wrote it.
The version that is sitting out there now has RPGs and those infernal orbs which I think is safe to say that we all hate. This version also does not seem to have any of the CTF weapons either. The map itself is already pretty much the way it should be. What I would like to see if that the orbs and RPGs get removed and the new weapons get put into the map in appropriate places. The other thing is I do not have a vmf file so we are are also talking about a decompile jobbie. I would not want an exact copy of the FC map I think we should look to put our own little spin on it. I am think we mod the map ourselves because machinehead has never put his maps anywhere where I would think he would like to share them with other servers. So i think we go the same road that he seems to have gone and put our own little flavor on things.
So there is a quick and easy idea about how to get a whiz bang fact paced out that I think would be popular with our new crowd around here. Once Known as Grumpy... Oh hell lets face it... I have and will always be Grumpy

Well I disagree heavily. The ports weren't popular because the weapon placement flat out sucks.
I love the football maps and others have said they'd be great if all the weapons didn't just fall randomly from the sky into a pile on the floor.
Also, the airbursts on NFS is the only thing keeping that from being popular.
I need a mapper to make the changes to these maps. People liked them. People hated the weapon placement. It's a pretty simple fix. Any takers?

i never put the weapons in the middle of the level, its just a glitch that seems to happen when i compile the map. i have the .vmf if anybody else wants to try and compile it. i wouldn't do something as stupid as drop all the weapons in a big pile in the middle.
the way it seems to be happening is that weapons stop spawning in their normal position and start spawning in the origion of the map. this is the same reason that the crossbow stopped spawning on the tomb in 2_fort long time ago. i have this issue in pretty much all the maps i work in with HAMMER, and i'm not the only one that it happens to either. if there is a fix to it, i don't know it.

LLenta : I'll take a look, maybe I can play with it and find something. Just email me the .vmf file(s)
Whut: The only changes you want are no airbursts on NFS and no weapons from the sky correct?
Can't hurt to try.

i haven't played hl2ctf_nfs on the Tomb, so i don't know if the weapon spawning is a problem there. it looks like i will be taking the airbursts out of the level and i have already added the smg and made some minor textures, so i want to finish up on that one first. give me you e-mail and i will send you some of the other levels that are really bad like nuclear football and 2_fort. those should keep you busy for a while.

Yeah, and with the maps with airburts... making it so it doesn't spawn unlimited airburst ammo and wacky ball ammo on the floor (The guys over at assasins fixed it on 2fort).

yeah i know, the spawn point wan't even on the floor, so it fell and continued spawning. i had that fixed but i was waiting for other fixes too so that i don't have a new version of every map every week for you.
