Final Map KF-OldCity

[Deleted member 24443]

So here it is... Version 1.1 \o/

Download KF-OldCity (ModDB)
Download KF-OldCity (Steam Workshop)

Old City is a medium sized map with a London setting with Steampunk influences. Like previous releases, the layout is a serious of streets, alleys and indoor sceneries with multiple floors and defendable positions. Spread out across the map are also four trader locations for your support.

There's some more bugfixes compared to preview versions, most notably the ambulance car fix, but also the river inclusion and more. You can see the full changelist in the readme file.

I tried to keep the map as optimized as possible, however, due to the highly detailed outdoor zone, there may be slight fps drops with older computers. Even with cull distances, distance fog and antiportal options (which won't help here due to the large amount of inmap bsp), I couldn't get rid of it entirely... This is also the main reason why there aren't more emitters and foliage - aside my laziness...

Long text, short story: Have fun!

Spoiler!

€ It is necessary to redownload the map since I deleted all beta versions from the workshop. Once the workshop problems are fixed, I'll reupload it there as well.

looks great, but wheres the fog and a bit more atmospheric details ?

 

[Deleted member 24443]

It's there. The fog is there. It's just a lot thinner than in most of the standard maps. Had it so because I didn't like skyscrapers throwing ugly shadows in the skybox, and this way, it actually looks good. The fog is really thick in the warehouse indoor area, though.
As for details, I just couldn't add so many more because of the technical issues that come with such a large, detailed outdoor area. If I added more, the framerates would have taken a considerable drop. I already experienced such a drop in beta status (and my computer is in the good mid range of today's computers), so it's basically a trade-off between engine capabilities and looks.

Hey Swanky, I tested your map today, the design is pretty awesome! Did not find any kind of bug / glitch. Damn awesome map dude.

picture 2 has a bug where u can trick jump into the spawn if u didnt fix it from the beta. I haven't still got my computers up and running. I have continual powerblack outs because of work on the netwerk. ,az<flsmf kiosn

 

[Deleted member 24443]

I thought I had fixed that out. You can jump on top of the barriers, but it shouldn't be possible to access the tunnel. Maybe I'll fix it later. Most other issues are ironed out so it shouldn't become a problem with the whitelist.

KF-OldCity is now available in KF's Workshop. Here's the link.

New bug

If the door in the image below is closed but not welded and people stand there, Zeds will block the door and cant open it since it opens outwards.

 

[poosh]

Yes doors are bugged (I suggest to allow them to be opened in both sides), but the maps is great.

Officially included to Official ScrnBalance Custom maps.

 

[Deleted member 24443]

I see to it to re-do the doors to make them swing both ways. This will probably not happen this year anymore, though.

An updated version is being uploaded to the Workshop.
Fixes:
- All doors are now directional (really easy to do once you know where to look)
- all doortriggers have now 75uu activation radius instead of 64
- updated blockvolume in screenshot
- updated blockvolume near the warehouse on upper floor (this may be most interesting to blockbot)

What files have been changed or is there an upload without the use of Workshop?

 

[Deleted member 24443]

I am in contact with TWI. The workshop does not recognize that there is a newer version than the one you may have on your computer. This may be due to the mapname not being changed. TWI is looking into the problem right now, but for you, simply uncheck the map in the workshop and subscribe again to have it working.
The only file that has been changed is the mapfile itself and you will currently only get it through the workshop.

Why not update the Moddb file?

 

[Deleted member 24443]

Uploaded the files to moddb, so the other dl is now working again.

Hi,

Small issue: zeds frequently fall in the river and get stuck there:

Otherwise this map is so nice that people still play it despite having to suicide every wave or two to go kill them as a spectator

 

[Deleted member 24443]

Interesting... see if I can fix it this week.

Interesting... see if I can fix it this week.

What sucks is that when maps that have been out for too long, gets a update, the server owners dont bother checking if a new version is out :/

 

[Deleted member 24443]

Generally true. But the perfectionist in me urges me to do it anyway.
