Anthony Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 John The only issue I could find was the wallpaper but I have already voiced my opinion in earlier posts so we won't go there again. Your maps are now so polished the beta phase seems almost unnecessary and therefore we have become almost redundant. Really like the new layout and the new buildings are spot on but in terms of gameplay another winner all the way. Keep on with the good work. many thanks Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackDoe Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 3 issues found (not finished playing, but decided to add these before I forget. Comments below the screen shot. 1. On the top of this building (roof), there are stairs and a wall for the AI to hide behind. To the left of the stairs is a doorway that leads to more rooms. I went in there and got trapped. When trying to leave, the wall is too close to the stairs which doesn't allow an escape. Only solution is to die. See item #1 in the pic. 2. Purple tree (see item #2 in the pic). I do see Spik@'s comment above. But just wanted to show you which tree on the map that is purple. 3. Initial spawn point: If playing alone on Hard Mode and you get killed here, they'll nail you over and over. If you leave it, we do have the chance to run up the stairs to escape the onslaught. But still, there's a lot of guys just standing there shooting me when I spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTC02 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Thanks for testing folks. Anthony, haha you really have got a thing about the wallpaper, if it's that bad I am willing to change it. Why don't some of you here post some images of what you would prefer. Don't forger to make sure your images are royalty free and tileable. If you can make the size 1024x1024 or 768x768 that would be great. Jack, issue #1 is a bit strange as I have used that building before in my missions without any problems. I'll take a look and change it if needed. Issue #2, as Spik@ mentioned these purple trees are caused by a texture conflict with maps that have been converted from GR:AW if you have any in your custom_levels folder then the fix is to remove them while playing other maps. Issue #3, yep had the same problem myself, a few well placed nades should see you alright . Of course it's best not to die in the first few minuets when you start the map. An alternative here is to start the map in easy mode then once you have cleared the first rush of AI select the hard button and you will be in hard mode for the rest of the mission.

JackDoe Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) John, The issue in #1 wasn't the building itself. It was because you put a wall up to hide a sniper. That wall is at the bottom of the stairs. If you run off the left side of the stairs to go into the rooms on the other side of them, the wall prevents you from getting back out. You'll see what I mean if you go up there. Finally finished the map. I only came across one other issue. Doesn't require a change IMO, but something you should be aware of. I added a circle to the map and labeled where you have 3 AI spawning. I walked out the back door of that building right next to where they spawn and it wasn't until I was out there that they spawned. One spawned in front of me, one behind me, and one literally on top of me. Had to back up to kill him. I should note that I came from the left side, entered that building, then exited where they spawned. Maybe because I came that direction is the reason they didn't spawn until I was there?

Hi John, I think I know what Jack is refering to. It's not a wall, but a fence on the roof he mentioned. One of us also got stuck behind that fence and we used an admin kill to get him out of there. I don't think that you have to remove the fence, but maybe you could make the space between the stairs and the fence a little bit wider so no-one gets stuck anymore.

JohnTC02 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hi Jack & Rico, Thanks for the extra info here, I know what you are talking about now. I'll sort it so you can get out of the building. I sometimes forget what fences or walls I add to my maps especially as I'm now working on my next one plus designing two more buildings in max. Having all these things on the go at once can get a little confusing as to what I put where and in which map, not to mention the fact that I'm getting old and senile.

JackDoe Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah, thanks for clarifying Rico. My bad, it was a fence not a wall. John's not the only one getting on in years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaapo Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 We accomplished the mission as well using dedicated server and 2 clients. No problems at all except we could not find the place to rest for Erika did you hide it? FPS was always a little bit low but still good to play. New buildings are amazing, special the embassy which is a piece of cake This time you placed some AIs behind 2nd floor windows which is very good. Have I see new buildings without UK wallpaper? If yes, it is the biggest effort Now some off-topic comments: We agree with Rahnman's comment about Johns wallpapers We feel a little bit sorry about Riley's living room. We feel sorry about the Mexicans if the furniture they took has the same taste as Riley`s wallpaper With best greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnTC02 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi Folks, V1.1 is ready for testing. I think all the issues here have been fixed. 1. One AI that was spawning has been moved. 2. Seems like the purple tree was a different kind to the rest so I have replaced it, I didn't have this problem so I can't tell if it's been fixed. 3. The fence on top of the building that was blocking your exit has been moved. 4. I have added some extra cover at the initial spawn point, hopefully this will help you live a bit longer. 5. The AI that was spawning in view as you exited a building has been fixed by adding another trigger at the buildings entrance. I think that's it, not sure if anyone want to retest this as there isn't that many changes but if those that had problems at the initial spawn would like to try that part it would be useful. BTW, I'm still open for any suggestions as a replacement for my wonderful wallpaper , post you pics but make sure they are tileable and 1024x1024 pix.

wombat50 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 You may know about this site already but if not try cg textures For wallpapers look at category paper and then either wallpapers or decorative. Most of the tiled ones are 640 x 640 but could make them 1024 x 1024 in Photoshop. Easily my most used site for textures. Pretty sure you have to register to download and if a free user there is a daily limit which I rarely exceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico686 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hi John, We have been playing the map over and over again on the MIB servers without any issues. Neither one of us could find anything strange so I think the map is ready for release, unless someone else can come up with something we overlooked. We all enjoyed playing the map. It's a great map especially with the tanks rolling out of the garage on their way to blast your head off . Can't wait to see your next map Cheers John and keep up the good work Rico BTW guys, what's up with everyone?? Isn't anyone playing GRAW2 anymore or is everyone on vacation I don't see any comments anymore...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
