[Release] ttt_plaza_b6

[Shifty Pete]

Fixed this up some more. Had to delete a large portion of the map and recreate it properly. Won't be any crashes anymore (other than bad inline, which affects ~5% of people, working on that).

Shifty, did I ever tell you that you are my favorite mapper? Well... You're my favorite mapper. Your maps are always so detailed and nice looking, and fun to play on.

[Shifty Pete]

Thanks sniperduck. Most people I meet prefer to troll and bad-mouth my maps at the first vague mention, it's good to have people who truly enjoy them. Thanks.

Would you have any suggestions? I'm short on ideas for maps.

My little detail wise feedback is:



Why is there graffiti all the way to the top of the building? It doesn't make much sense and sometimes plain wall is better considering you got big sunset giving the mood for that part of the map.

[Shifty Pete]

1. The wall looked too repetetive
2. I've seen graffiti in stranger places IRL

[BipolarDiZ]

I like the graffiti. Gives the wall something more than just a wall. With that said I like in Vegas and we have graffiti in much weirder spots and most of them impossibly hard to get to. Some take some real parkour shit to get.

Since you have only managed to get NxS owners to reply, I decided I would reply :D




Considering adding this map to my server, gonna check it out in SP now :D

[BipolarDiZ]

A friend of mine found a glitch, not sure of the replication of it because we could only get it to happen twice but while Inno if you mess with the radio that explodes enough it will indeed explode. Not sure if it was just us being stupid. Will update this if I find anything more conclusive.

[Shifty Pete]

The traitor button to explode the radios are inside the radios themselves, so if a traitor is trying to toggle the music, they might accidentally blow themselves up in the process.

Shifty you went balls to the wall with this map it looks simply amazing nice work.

Shifty, I just, I . I <3 your maps! :D

Shifty, much thanks on this great map. I tried it on my server last night, but I had a problem with it.
While some players were downloading it, they crashed with an "Bad Inline Model" and I lost almost half the players.
Do you know what this is? I unfortunately can't use it until this is fixed... and this is the only map I have this problem with.

I've had the 'bad inline model' problem since the first compile. It's frustrating, there's no documentation anywhere on what could cause or fix it.

From my own experience, I believe it is caused by off-grid brushes, sloppy mapping, bad visleafs, etc. I honestly didn't think of optimisation when I was first making the map, but I've worked hard on fixing it lately in the beta versions. It seems to affect some people more than others, especially people with not-so-great computers. Remember, in the first versions of the map, around 90% of people would crash with bad inline, but in b6 it's only around 5 or 10%.

If what you're saying is true, and you lost half of the server to bad inline, I'd like to know some details to possibly help me get rid of the 'bad inline' problem. How many players did you have before the map change, and how many after? What kind of content did you have on the server? Anything else I might like to know?

Finally, to all of you who enjoy the map, thank you. I appreciate it.

My server was full at 20/20 when I switched to plaza_b6. About 11-12 were left after. I think 5 or 6 of those that left got that problem. A couple of the players that complained to me about were able to connect after crashing twice. I don't really have custom content on the server other than the suicide bomb... and I run ULX admin mod, if that helps.
