[Too Much Guinness]

I had a quick look at it ingame.
Ofc the water is expensive.. but it would be a shame to make it cheap and ugly. Maybe working on some other things will do.

As you can see, there are many things visible that don't need to be visible from that position. (shelves, tree, car etc)
I'm not sure if they are the problem though. The most expensive things are listed as 'Unaccounted'. Yeah, thanks valve...

So you can either
- add hints. For example left, right and on top of the concrete ramp I was looking at on the screenshot
- add area portals (especially to seal the area with the shelves)
- change the fade distance of props (might cause problems though if you should see them from other points)

There's a nice tutorial for that: http://www.optimization.interlopers.net/index.php

Good luck!

Yep, bad optimization. Nothing changed since yesterday.

 

[gotcha]

I tried some optimizations but i will have a closer look on the tutorial tommorow after work.
Thanks for the link!

I did some gameplay changes today:

-changed some of the boxes in the truck to breakables, some (the metal ones) are not breakable
-removed the fence and changed the boxes at the barricade on the plateau next to the truck
-added some soda-containers (let's just call them so :-D)
-added some player clips at doorframes
-changed the size of various boxes

I tried to add Areaportals to the "red light water room", but when I tried it, the game crashed with no error, so i deleted it.

Here's the actual revision.

Thanks a lot for your support guys!
I'll try to do more optimizations in the following days.

Yours, gotcha.

Like niko said here above, the boxes in the trunk are not fair to zombies same as the campingspot near the big RED-YELLOW signs in the corner .. with 3ct's inside with shotgun, its almost impossible to get in.

 

[gotcha]

Read my changelog:

-changed some of the boxes in the truck to breakables, some (the metal ones) are not breakable

and this:

-removed the fence and changed the boxes at the barricade on the plateau next to the truck

;-)

On what server is it now ? I wanna try it :>

The GameServer's list isnt up to date ... maybe nomattah you have to change it so it auto adds any new map to the lists instead of doing it manually... if possible =)

 

[NoMatt3r]

Yarp. It's not as easy as turning the lights on...but i may find a way to auto update the map list.

And i want to try the map, too. Where is it? ^^

lol, I know... I just suggested the idea <3

 

[SOUR]

Hope the fps is fixed tho, i had 20 fps or lower all the time :c

 

[NoMatt3r]

Just played the new version and Zombies had no chance. 6-0 for humans because there are so many camp spots and you need many zombies to run one of them down. Fps are 80+ with a strong pc. Most annoying thing are the numerous spots on the top of buildings. You are constantly under fire as zombie if you don't hide inside a building. Chasing humans outside is very dangerous.

Hey guys,

I did some more gameplay changes and optmizations.
I used various hints and areaportals to stop the engine from rendering not visible props.

I hope it works the way I want it to.

Here's the actual revision:

[Avollaj]

could use some more fps and there are some unfair spots.

 

[Deanburger]

I like this map, it reminds me of old school zombie. It is too unfair on the zombies, though.

 

[gotcha]

Hey there,

I'm back with some gameplay fixes to make the map more balanced.

Here's the updated map:
