VERY sexy. I noticed a few of the same stuck-bugs, but otherwise othing unnormal.

Can't wait to play this on the servers.

[Novahawk]

Can't one of us just throw up a server? i mean i can do that.. and i think i will.. unless you dont want me to.. but you know i think that would be better.. like i throw up a server and when someone wants to test they can get on that.. plus we'll have like multiple people on which would be more fun that running around by yourself..

[Mandraque]

ok nova, set a time....

[Novahawk]

Heh... well my server pc is being upgraded and stuff.. i'll put it up as soon as it finishes.. which might take awhile.. but it has been going for like 3 days now.. so it should probably finish soon..

Still no bugs but a few things to notice-

-Lack of collision detection on the scrap pieces from destroyed computers. Maybe that's normal, though.
-Absolutely no collision detection between the player and the numerous chairs in the LAN hall, though they still react to bullets.
-Some keyboards and such vanish when shot
-Where's my Sim Room door record? ;) Heh. It's not that important.

All-in-all a good map, though.

1. That's a part of the Source engine
2. I purposefully did that, because I wanted players to sift through quite a bit in the LAN hall, but I felt the chairs restricted movement too much, but they still needed to be there
3. Because there are so many prop_physics_multiplayer entities that after a set number are created on the client side, they disappear.
4. On the bug list :)

Nice map dude.
I had the same error near the wine bottles that NovaHawk did.
It froze up, but I waited for about 5 seconds and it went back to normal.

Also, I found what could be a bug, or you being an ass and putting an invisible wall up.
This is where i found it. I couldn't go any further because there was an invisible wall in my way.




It's pretty good though...Only a few bugs!
Someone start a little server up!

[Novahawk]

yeah i couldnt go beyond that either.. but i figured that it was the end of the map

Also, I noticed that there doesn't seem to be any real exit from the building. I know that's intentional, but there's no door, openable or not, that I noted as the exit.

Where is that going to be?


Heh. Also, a little late-clarification.
When you put in the stage (if I remember correctly, the Sim Room and Stage were hiested from my story- I still feel honored), that was not supposed to be in the BoSS building, but in an Undisclosed Location (Missile Silo thingy).

I do think the LAN room looks better with it in there, though.

Eh, it's your map, of course. Just a little nit-picking.

Nova and Rogue:
sv_cheats 1
noclip

Once you put that into console you can go past the invisible wall. The passage to the left leads to a secret elevator which leads to a secret room with credits sprayed on the wall, an aquarium and three teleporters. (T spawn, Lan hall and CT spawn I believe).
My guess is Chris doesn't want that to be part of the beta though, maybe he needs to fix more stuff there or balance out the teleportation thing *hint* *hint*.

Other than that, nothing major. Only thing I noticed was that the wall between the stairs and T spawn is really thin (?), because if you spray your tag on it, it shows up on both sides haha.
One issue could be the balance of teams, seems to me that This would be a T dominated map. Cause all you have to do is jump out the window with a rifle and land in the lan hall where you have great cover. Then everything is on lockdown. Maybe adding another flanking entry point to the hall would balance this out, or making it impossible to get out of the windows in T spawn. Just a suggestion, but the map needs to be played by a bunch of ppl in a server to find actual gameplay problems.

Overall though, great map

...I'm sure Shadow can throw it on Server #3 for a while so we can test it out on a real server.

yeah that would be nice... and i never thought of doing no clip :\

[Chris82]

Heh. When you go in that room look on the left yellow brick wall. You should notice something. If not, shoot around the wall until you hear a breaking sound. Keep shooting and the wall will break reveal a button, hear the sound, a part of the invisible wall is gone, and you can go on the ladder!

Also, yeah, the map seems T dominated at first, but the CTs can go up the stairs in the basement to the bar, then go up the stairs to Shadow's Office and flank the Ts.

Another thing, the door outside is by Registration and under the AWP/Flashbangs.

Shadow's office will probably be slightly redesigned with a whiteboard and meeting table.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll be sure to fix the bugs and in the final release include a map overview for the radar as well as text for below the radar.

EDIT: Oh, and btw, try nocliping all the way to the end of the tunnel or inside the blue dumpster in CT Spawn :)

I fixed some of the bugs on the bug list, I need to add some more textures to make some of the walls more interesting, then I'll do a compile and if all goes well, I'll do a final compile!

[ch0da]

I'd like to be up there. BoSS|ch0da(trademark thing) =deadpuppies=

[Chris82]

No.

BTW guys the Gun Game version of this map is almost done, just gotta add a few lights and we're ready for a beta.

Awesome, I was wondering when the map would actually be up on the servers. Your map, along with the one's Shadow made are pure buttsecks.
