V11 Is out and ready to download! I was able to fix the map and everything should be running smoothly. 
If there are any issues with the build please let me know.

KF-HotelZed [Beta Release]
- Thread starter LiquidArrow
- Start date
Just an out of bounds spot that's been in the map for a while.
I was going to report it at final release, since I assumed it'd be easy to find by players, being on the ground floor without need of a DB jump to access. I guess nobody reported it.

Awesome thanks for reporting it!
Haha sometimes the easiest things get missed, like me somehow not knowing those meshes didn't have collision. It will be fixed in the next/Final update here
If anyone else knows of any bugs and or exploits still present on this map please report them!
Looks like V11 is not on the SkillzServer redirect which is causing a failure to download on my servers. I'll have to disable the map until it's available on the redirect. Anywhere I can grab V10 in the meantime?
In the future you could just make your own account on skillz site to gain access to the ftp to upload any maps not there already. See this post:

Still having problems with this particular map. Even though I see "KF-HotelZed_BetaV11" on the Skillz redirect clients still fail to download it when they try to join my servers. Interestingly on the site it's named KF-HotelZed_BetaV11 but when you try to join the game it tried to download kf-HotelZed_BetaV11 (notice the non-capital letters KF). I think it may be case sensitive and that may be the problem. Another interesting thing is that when you download this map the archive is named with a lowercase kf but the extracted map is named with an uppercase KF. I've run many custom maps on my server including previous versions of this map and I've never run into this issue before.
OK I figured this out. Turns out the problem all stemmed from the downloaded .7z file being named kf- instead of KF-. As a precaution to make sure I always typed the name of the map correctly I'd always copy/paste the map name from the downloaded file into my PCServer-KFGame.ini files. Because I copied the name from the .7z file I entered kf-HotelZed_BetaV11 into those instead of KF-HotelZed_BetaV11 the redirect download didn't work due to it being case sensitive. Once I updated all of those files to KF- all of my servers are now working correctly.
As a suggestion to avoid this sort of confusion in the future you might consider naming the .7z and the .kfm files exactly the same.

so what exactly was causing the flex issue? im having the same problem with my map, it sucks haha
I actually don't know. I tried everything I could think of to fix it.
- Replaced all meshes and materials
- Removed all lights to see if that was the cause
- Removed the emitters
- And a bunch of other stuff
In the end after eliminating all of the variables I could think of. I ended up having to move the WHOLE MAP over into a blank template to fix it. :/
Everything is as it was in the other broken one, but now it works. Thats my fix at least lol
OH GOD MY EYES
It could be that we're using too many statics, and TWI's statics are all joined into single meshes. Most of their big floor sections are purpose-made. If this is the case, just turn FleX off for custom map servers.
I hate to say it, but I'm not going to stop making modular maps just because it breaks FleX, as great as FleX looks. It's fun.
It's cool to see how far this map has come. The early versions were so ****ty. Really just thought KF-hotelzed was another trash map. Glad to see you stuck with it, the outcome has been worth it.
not sure if this will help you but i fixed my flex issue by replacing the blocking voloumes, something about them messed up flex
Meshes aren't the issue, scoot might be on to something with the blocking volumes causing the issue.
I did release this map as I worked on it so the community could give feedback as I was making it, so those earlier versions were very much WIP.
You should work on your constructive feedback and give me reasons as to why it was so ****ty lol, just saying that and that you thought it was a trash map doesn't give me much to work off of. Detailing what was wrong and actually telling me that here in the thread helps me and all the other level creators a TON.
Thank you for the compliment though

I need some volunteers to help test the final version!
I want this tested on a server so only people that have servers request the final build.
I have Churo testing right now with some of his friends but would like some others help as well!
Just PM me or post here.
