At first impressions this map looks amazing, but i encountered a glitch that needs fixing as soon as you can. Picture is below to show it:

Spoiler!


Where the sand is in the middle, it has no clipping and you can go through into the water volume, but if you keep going down you end up getting out of it and reaching the bottom of the map.

hi latte

fantastic look, gameplay is hard to say cause i played it solo so far. could be crowded with more players.

gameplay:
-Pavillion
maybe u should rethink the walls around the pavillion.
a. it should be possible to jump over them
b. u show with a obstacle that it is a deadend.
(i prefer a. :))

-Lighthouse
the trader in there tends to be anoying. running upstairs in circles makes me dizzy. no place to manuvre, with more players i see issues. maybe u skip the whole inside (i guess it was a lot of work to create it:() and simply put the trader on groundfloor)

here are two optical issues:

Lighthouse right before the trader:

Dinner looking to Museum:

other than that great work. keep up the good work.;)

Thank you for the feedback SGtHermann

When i was play testing it i found that most of the time players would always go thro the gazebo area and not take another path after going up the steps. it also makes the player make a choice of going thro the building. but i under stand, it looks like you can jump over it.

EDIT:
I think i may Lower the collision brush so you can jump over it... i never tested it that way.

Ya i Spent a lot of time on the inside of the lighthouse, i wanted there to be a Trader in the lighthouse but i think i may have made it to tall. I was thinking of puting it on the ground floor but Then the player wouldn't have much of a reason to run up the lighthouse and visually I cant think of any where to put it with out closing off the rest of the lighthouse (well on the bottom of the lighthouse)

EDIT:
Hmm i can lower the lighthouse one floor which would make it more easier to get to the top. If every one wants it Lower (Which will make it easier to get to the trader) please reply because i want every one opion before i Do a big edit like that.

Ill fix those right away.

EDIT:

the top one was caused by a BSP error

the second image for somereason is caused by the Fog ending inside the zone... weird (the zone inside the diner)




EDIT:

Im wonder is performance bad? (on the dock?) I know something that can give some performance but it wont look as good as it did

Distance fog set to 2000



Distance fog set to 4300 (what is set to now)




Sorry for all the edits :p

thats the propose of edits:D

lighthouse:

trader on topfloor (satus quo)

i have to admit its good: keep it like it is:eek:. u have to plan ur shopping and move toward the trader before wave ends. its good for gameplay. at least in my world:)


docks:

this area is critical fps wise BUT since its a deathtrap teams will avoid fighting there. well to be sure make fog dist 2000.

looking forward to ur decisions

I think it's a great map, looks really good, but I found a couple of really bad exploits. You can get on top of trader that is on the docks by going off cliff above it. Only took like 55 damage as a level 6 zerker. Once there you can get on top of the light fixture that's right there on the corner of the trader building.

Also was able to get behind this dumpster.

By running and jumping between over the boxes.

You can get to this spot by jumping off the cliff near the Lighthouse Diner if done right.

If you go to just about the top of the lighthouse and go to this spot on the stairs to the trader, Clots and stuff get confused and just stay there.

Also if a husk is coming up the spiral staircase to you, it can't shoot over the rails to hit you, it has to wait till there is nothing at all there blocking it, but you can still shoot it over the rails.

Also, this last one isn't an exploit, but in the back of the house with the bathroom with 2 doors, the one door you can't open (the player) but a specimen can, and also the other door goes through the shelving behind it.

Played the map a bit; I really enjoyed the tight spaces that forces players to really keep moving rather than to camp. :)

The lighting is also great, the fog plus the fires and the dark really sets the mood.

Will recommend it to be placed on our clan's modded servers; and possibly help find some game-play bugs and exploits. :)

You made my day sir.

hi latte

i played the b2. cool improvements. jumping over the wall surounding the pavillion "feels" very good.

looking @ museum from diner causes a liiiittle lightgreen flicker but its ok. if the s...t hits the fan noone looks at this detail.

one thing i like to mention: block the sea. imo it shouldnt be accsessible. from nowhere.

btw: thumbs up for the exploitfinders. i never find anything:p

keep it up

I don't know a ton of exploitable things, I just know a few things that can be exploited so I usually always check those.
