We are going to test you map in a few minutes, you need cheating-death version 3.0.0 to play on our server, join us. See my sig below for IP

I tryed to join serv but i have CD 3.1.0. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> am doomed. i emailed your site email thing as per its statement about CD bug.

DEADscott

I will turn CD off for the time we are testing your map. You will not need CD running.

Ninja_fall has met its match! This is a great FUN DROP map. Very sweet looking, unusual for fun maps. The game play seems pretty balanced too. We like it alot, the best drop map out there! Kinda bright though.

Check out the update. hopefully should fix the gamma problems. altho i carnt seem to see change on my server :/
When i tested it on my server it was no where near as bright as when i joined yours. lol.

I added a new ladder so marines can get up to aliens base at start BUT i made it easy to block using a single tower if the aliens want to keep it closed. I figer that the marines can take HA up it later in the game after using some JP's to kill the towers keeping it shut.

Reduced the weld time on thoes big doors from 300 to 45 secs each. Still need to test how effective thoes doors are.


Updated.

change the version to ns_drop_beta1 or something since periods and spaces messes it up...

for this mappers I feel very sorry but such maps fall through the grid of selection on our server <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
guys: start making maps that are MAPS at least. not meant as flamming but I think some other admin will feel so, too. and the fact that I map myself will make it harder for your guys because at least all the maps have to be better than mine to enter the cycle <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Well i thought my first released map was pritty good <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
If i could fix max_patches error i would have another map out there. a seriours map but its kinda to big <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> lol

The MAX_PATCHES error is easy to fix now. Either use the -sparse flag with RAD, or if that doesn't work, use -nomatrix. That should fix it.

-chop 128 -texchop 64
(or larger squares of 2)
less light quality for faster compile and huge maps.
