so i uploaded an early version of docking however when commanding aliens the cyst chains dont work, you can palce cysts individually but it isnt 100% reliable. So how do cyst chains work and what do i need to do to fix this issue?

i uploaded it mainly to figure out how to use the workshop and also to get a working version of early docking up

im guessing cysts work on the nav mesh?

    If the layout is very complex, you may find the cysts will refuse to auto-place if the path is too complex. It'll usually crap out around 10-11 cysts in length. You just have to manually click them down after that.

    a few of the others dont work the cyst chains bug out :P

    so just this and docking classic, but classic is an early version but not the earliest

    so if you want to play docking with the old east wing then get this version. Also marines can start in caf and terminal and not just terminal which is a major balance issue of early docking

    never even seen docking bc, might not have gone through the trouble, but i needed to figure out how to upload to the workshop anyway

    edit- just had a run around it and i dont remember this version of docking at all must have been early beta or never released outside of testing

    I am the source of two of the current docking versions floating about, people kept pestering me for old builds of the map.. What I wondered is why? What is it about older versions that people like? In beta, the map was not very popular at first, and changes were made.. I don't see this fascination with that particular map.

    I haven't seen the same interest in any of the other maps..

    i think that both hand grenades and gorge tunnels addressed alot of the issues the early builds faced, the fact that both of these were absent when that build was originally about was in part the reason why it kind of sucked back then

    without hand grenades it was to easy for aliens to wall up east wing

    Was docking ever truly popular? The public opinion about it seems to be mostly "meh", and when it's played then because nobody cared enough to vote it away...
