It may be a personal choice but could you add some music to the map? I've played this a few times this week only and found that perhaps the map did reset the server but will play a bit more to be sure.

Hm, idk. I wanted to stay away from metal because it would kill the mood but I couldn't find appropriate music that is free. I'll take a look around though.
I have a new version sitting here with fixes for avp's exploits, might as well include music in this one if I can find some. If not, well. But I'll take a look around.
EDIT: About the server reset: I'm pretty sure it resets it. I don't see why this one shouldn't. All of my other maps inexplicably do and there is nothing different in this one.

This is sadly true
, however you do add alot of custom models/textures to your maps which are stored in the "mylevel" area.Could it be that to fix this problem you have to include seperate texture and model files?
Just a thought since we've tried pretty much everything else. Personally I haven't even got a clue on how to transfer it from "mylevel" to package files.

I'm sure it's not easy adding custom music at times. This map is awesome and has alot going for it but just seemed to need some music. Looking forward to the new version. Server resets are common with some maps sadly.
Put this map as starting one at your server if you want to have "neverending story"
But I really love that one so I wouldn't mind

Thanks, man!
@NR480: I think it's pretty much impossible to find free music... I spent hours googling a free performance of In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg, because I figured it would fit really well, it plain ROCKS and the piece itself is in the public domain already (I think). But the performances are not... There are royalty free versions all over the place, but they cost upwards of 30 bucks. And I'm not willing to lay down that kind of money for a single track for a non-commercial project. I'm also not willing to use the music that comes with the game because personally I think it would do more harm than good in this case.
So the map is most likely going to stay musicless. Unless I stumble across something that is magically free and fits. The odds are terrible though.
EDIT: v4 released, btw.

They work now. Apparently something went wrong in the whitelisting, but Yoshi fixed it.
Try again and report back. They work for me.

Added a link to a youtube video of the map to the opening post.
Or you can simply watch it here:

(make sure to turn up the volume a little. The track is pretty quiet at first.)

Was the server reset problem sorted?
Edit: I popped it on and the server reset when the map changed. BTW Lovely looking map. I really hope the server reset is sorted.

Thanks, Olivier and gusone.
But no, the server crash on map-change is not fixed. I'm still completely in the dark as to what's causing it so as much as I would like to I can't fix it. It seems like it has something to do with garbage collection, but beyond that I have absolutely no clue. TWI know about the problem but they said the problem is probably not very widespread and off-hand they don't know what's causing it either, but they're too wrapped up in their own business to really put serious manpower into investigating this. TWI was our (plural, because this isn't only happening to me) last hope to fix this, but it doesn't look like they can help us any time soon so we're stuck with this.

Had a blast playing v5 tonight but did notice a few things which could be improved.
Zombies still get stuck on the waterfall bridge. I'd recommended turning off collision on the bridge (except bullet collision) and use blockers instead. Should solve the problem.
Zombies get confused with the small rocks on the cave floor. Turn off collision and use blockers.
Between the house and windmill is a path up the hill which the trader path follows. Some people i played with got lost because of this and it also seems to confuse the zombies somewhat. Maybe use a forced path to make zombies only go the one way and use a pathblocker to make the trader path go around.
These are just a few suggestions. Good map by the way.

Finally got a chance to play this, what a beautiful map. What I like with all your maps is theres always an awesome skybox but also you pay attention to texture details, adding in trim where you would see it and taking the time to scale everything properly. Visuals on the map are superb and love the windmill.
Oh and ducking down and hiding in the treasure chest was fun too.
Edit : Quick question, the skybox in Fabulous and North Sea, was that terragen?

it is certain emitters that do it, i just dont WHY exactly, it's like when it tries to dump the lateral emitter info it goes funky.
