it looks nice especialy the plane did you make it from scratch?

[Datastream]

I'm gay for you. That doesn't make me gay according to a gay guy.

[cementiet]

yea i did made evrything out of nothing... else its not made by me ofc

[Shana]

Looks cool, gonna try it out in a bit.

You should change the name of oc_systems2 though, people with the old version won't be able to connect unless they manually delete it first, which is too much of a hassle for the average pubber.

[destiny]

im currently downloading it and planning to play it once its done.

[cementiet]

higly adviced not doing it alone ^^, as for the name issue, i alrdy did re-edit stuf a mill times now, the user can sacrifice that DL button one time i gues... yea sorry its a bit messy i agree..

[Shana]

just call that map oc_systems2-1.

Also it's added to my server now,

[cementiet]

ok its changed

Gj there, I'm impressed that it's already finished, you worked hard. Going to try it out.

Terrible, just terrible. Played it with several people including the mapmaker. The map started off okay but then it became a rape fest full of soldiers and manhacks.

But hey, gotta admit, this guy was smart. He's knows his maps are so bad that he even prepared it for cheaters.



Let's see you noclip out of it now!

[Shana]

No offense, but i got to agree, it was horrible.

While the design of it was good and i really liked it, the gameplay and ent work was pretty miserable.

The map mainly consists of continuous NPC spam, for example there's fraking manhacks almost EVERYWHERE.
Starting with only a pistol and crowbar and being forced to buy weapons doesn't make it any more fun either, because in case of those maps, i couldn't be arsed to spent the time to buy weapons since i will die soon after anyways or even while I'm still buying stuff because there's respawning NPC's ALL AROUND ME.
And not to forget that merchants only sold standard stuff because you very likely forgot to include the merchant scripts.

Make your map's flow fun to play instead of trying to make it last as long and hard as possible. A short map with good pacing is much more fun than a long-ass map that consists of endlessly respawning NPC's. Trust me, i did the same mistake before.


The performance was fraking horrible. You have the whole map in a hollowed box, seriously, don't EVER do that unless you just started mapping, and especially don't do it on maps of that size. It will result in horrible visleafs, much more will get rendered than is needed, sometimes even the whole damn map at once.

And there was a shield wall that crashed clients because it sets their health to something the HUD doesn't support. Why even make killing shield walls anyways?! make them just block the player because that's what everyone is used to. It's no fun losing your weapons because of that either.

And the worst, you used the "map" command, which RESTARTS the server to change levels. Use "changelevel" instead, or even better, make a proper level transition.


Really, i was looking forward to playing this map, it has a really cool design that i like, but the gameplay was just way too disappointing and made me fraking RAGE. The maps are removed from our server for now until it gets better.

hm when seeing that picture and reading the feedback do i think why you didn't make a wip map first so people like w0rf0x could have tested it before, it's not like that we need new released maps at all costs...

[cementiet]

wel i cant denie the fact that it is rater hard,

As for the ''bugged'' shield im not sure how this could let people cras i tested my maps allot to make sure it runs correct without crassing, when i hosted my server and tested it out with friends we did had not this strange bug. but wil be solved.

I did work quite some time on this maps aswel as the boring hours in it, i wil change the merchant (that i did not forget to update cus i tought it was a coop mod cus it needs to be a bit hard).... i wil just let guns spawn there isntead then. This alrdy should make the map way more easy

i also wil decrease the number of ''endless'' manhacks, but with the combines, i think its more fun shooting numbers then 1 hard with high HP that can have so many hits that in RL it alrdy would be a pile of dust b4 its dead, and with more stronger weapons this will not be a big problem anymore.

As for the Box arround the map, that was the most messy thing i did, i totaly agree but i tried to fix it normaly but i kept on getting a bug with a overflow, i looked arround for any leaks did not find one did spend some dayes trying to solve it with no result.

i wil improve the grafical problems of the map too, if i find a way how, but until then i wont release it then.

Ty for the feedback , while the first one was rater overkilled, just trying to make maps for the mod, not realy burn it into the ground...

[Axel_m3sh]

Buffer overflow or something?
I hope there's func_details in the map, looks like a lot of brushes were used
