This will either be cool or shit we will find out. I thought a map of glass would be cool, however whut has warned me that fps will suffer, if so it could be a maze map?

Anyway here are some screenies...

SPeaking of fps issues.. you ever think about redoing Koth Illenta? I think people loved the concept but that top level lag was a killer.. Maybe more walls to cut down field of vision?

Shit.. I would love to see dom_mellee I always did like that map.. Those things I said about that football map would fit well in your map too.. was there some reason it was dark though?

Tested out for me at 48 to 60 fps and my machine is no monster.. I was not able to get anyone to connect to my listen server though to try with multiple players..

I like the map though.. good to test shotgun spray patterns in

 

My votes would be to get rid of runes and rpg though.. and the orbs. I was also getting an error that the alexis gun was being ignored

don't mean to go a bit off topic here, but here is an answer to your question grumpy.

i don't think i will do any more work on KOTH.  i made the map to be big and wide open, but open maps give really bad fps.  there really isn't much i can add to improve the fps, besides, i would rather spend my time making a new map then working on old ones.  i did plenty of that already this summer as i was porting all the maps over.

darn firewalls.  you just have to open up a port and send your ip out, but like most things its easier said then done.  just make sure that when you are done that you close that port up so you don't get any unwanted guests to your network.

Ok I read the comments in the other post for updating dom_glassworks.

Adding sniper ammo is not a problem, I didn't add it originally because I was afraid people would whore the sniper.

As far as changing/adding more ways into the maze, I have 2 ideas...

One removing the roof completly,  either that or going with the original idea of a glass roof , however the person could still hide and fps may suffer. But an open roof would open up more ways for attack. . Two, just simply adding more ways into the maze. Let me know what you guys think might be better, I will change it  either way or maybe a bit of both. Anything else let me know , later tonight I will be working on other maps so post away.

Either way I think will still cause a chase, I mean it is virtual keep away.

EDIT: ok I removed the decals (pain in the ass)  I added 4 more entrances to the maze, The roof is now in 3 pieces, so there is plenty of places to enter. That should eliminate hiding. Oh and for King , I added sniper rounds next to the rifle. Since it is more open I moved the 2 runes on top of the roof as well and reduced the airbursts from 6 to 2 . 

Hope this is better.

EDIT EDIT: After testing this out last night with Grumps on the Tomb I made a few minor changes. removed 1 sniper rifle and moved the other sniper to the center lower part of the map with a extra box of ammo. We found that if teh sniper is up high ppl become sniper whores. Moved the OICW to the upper levels with a box of ammo. In place of them I used the Alyx gun, ( just for Grumps) . , Fixed minor shit like adjusting the height on the healthchargers. We also both agreed that the cloak had to go, since you are invisible but the flag is not. So that was replaced with DD. So I think this one is ready to go .

 

BTW Snooch...

I was playing hot_topic earlier  and saw "MAP BY SNOOCH"  pop up. Is this your doing? or is this server side? . And how do you do it?

Really need the upgrade to this map Aww. It is getting more popular all the time but we need to get the minor bugs worked out to keep the steam going. I will pm an email address that you can send this to when you are ready.
