These beta versions still require a little more polish and play testing.

KF-CarryOnUpSmogBeta18 is an early foggy morning settings which has been optimised for performance.

---------
Setting
---------
Multiple savage maulings in Central London have led your squad to a building construction site that appears to be the origin of the attacks. Hardened construction workers have been seen running away from the area bearing witness to 'giant vermin built like a brick **** house'. Cordon off the site and contain any possible outbreak.

----------------------------------
9 Traders.

Added Beta2 with a variety of custom signs; samples below.

and additional props to provide detail. I also did some further optimisation and it's had a good impact. Gamplay remains smooth throughout.

 

[Maksimus]

We need fresh ideas! Map is not interesting. You can do much more.

 

[arramus]

I'll ask the 'Banana Splits' to set up a bandstand on the ground floor for you.

 

[arramus]

Updated to Beta3 with the following:

Basement car parking level.
Custom graffiti textures.
Additional props.

 

[arramus]

Updated to Beta4 with additional props, textures, and zoning/culldistance optimisations.

Thanks to Snipe34 for the rusty beam SM. It makes for a good 'sleeping policeman' on the car park ramp.

 

[dextronaut]

as maksimus would say, "We are looking forward to when it will be touched "

 

[arramus]

Updated to Beta5 with the bit I was dreading to add most but actually wasn't as complex due to the recent update SMs.

 

[arramus]

Updated to beta9 with lots of additions since the last build. CarryOnUp is looking a lot more populated although it continues to have the 'bottom up' feel with most polish on the lower levels.

There are some lockable doors on the 4th floor stairwell as well as the basement and ground level stairwells to provide additional weld and lockout opportunities.

Ooo the indignity of it. This poor chap has been given a clot special...

 

[avp2501]

is this available to download from anywhere else.

everytime i try to download it from sandcrawler i end up with KF-Dammage. Hell of a cock up there.

 

[arramus]

Yes, it's available from the link I added. I have no idea why you're getting KF-Dammage unless your residual cache is playing up.

 

[THEDDLE]

Hey.

Hey.

Not sure how I forgot to download this one. Oh well it is being done now. I will add it to my servers. I thought it was cool looking the first time. Must have got lost in my sdk shuffle.

 

[arramus]

Thanks THEDDLE. That gives me the chance to jump in your server and play test with some gamers I don't know and get some more feedback.

 

[THEDDLE]

Hey

Hey

No problem. I have it on both servers. One is normal one is hard.

 

[THEDDLE]

Hey

Hey

I saw you in my HC server. I hope I got that one reset. Its had someone in it every time I checked so I did not restart it yet. It is restarted now.

 

[arramus]

Thanks.

I think I'll stick to the Normal one for the time being.

 

[THEDDLE]

Hey

Hey

No problem. They are both there to use. Have Fun And Play Hard.

 

[arramus]

Updated to beta10

Tweaked the textures to maintain that 'from the bottom up' effect. The lower floor textures are smoother and more clean cut with the rougher ones at the top. The transition is somewhat graded with each floor presenting a subtle change.

The lower level supports have also received a 'covering' to move away from the upper level oxidised look.

 

[THEDDLE]

Hey.

Hey.

I will put the map on the server and remove the old one. It should take affect after reboot. However I will not reboot if people are in. I will let you know.

 

[THEDDLE]

Hey.

Hey.

Both servers are updated and restarted. I even added my KF-Abandoned-Base-Final and FinalVL to it. Enjoy.
