Found two Z-axis fighting issued, both near the center tower in the center area:



Overall the map runs good. But I'm hearing all the players complaining about the fog again. Cheesy

I'm not seeing much difference with the fog - it is not as thin as what cosmo's new screenshots are showing. See attached screenshot.

I like the fog though. It makes the map unique. By the way, the new route between bases is great!

Thanks for your replies so far. I appreciate it.

@Neon_Knight: z-fighting will be fixed. I stumbled across that bug earlier and altered brushes accordingly so I thought I solved the problem but did not check again. My fault.

@chaoticsoldier: Please make sure if you do not have any other beta related map of mine (oa_koth2, ctf_gate1, ctf_inyard, ...) in your baseoa for testing. I hope it is just a shader related thing which gets overwritten by other pk3 files. If not I have to figure that because it is a serious problem then.

I had none of your other maps in my baseoa Sad.

I just tested this map again after removing all foreign pk3s from both baseoa folders. Unfortunately, I encountered the same issue.

Please have a 2nd look into your home .openarna folder or where ever your OA downloads stuff via autodownload.
If that does not work I will rename the fog shader in next release to be sure everybody can see from one end of the main court to the other.

Updated. Release number two with hopefully fixed fog density, z-fighting issue, relocated Double Domination points is included into public testing version of oa_black.

Test server is running both of 'em plus oaxB41 with a brainworkz bot.

I kicked the fog out of it eventually. More vertical gameplay and better performance will be in next testing release. Cheesy

Just returned from playing the new map v3 beta 2 on cosmo's test server, with cosmo himself present

I just want to remind him that the jumppads toward the central column with RA are really difficult and need to
be looked at. also i advise to have pmove set to 8 forced in the map itself.

I like this version, more routes to the flag makes it more interresting.

Grtz Davidd.

Actually this map is in rotation, on ROFL Various Couscous server Wink

Note: I can't administrate anymore ROFL Beta Maps with every map changes because it took me too much time to keep track of every changes made in maps, then upload the map here, and there, then edit the config, for each new coming map, so I stopped the server.

Seems there are missing textures, at least when I play:

Thanks for removing the fog, it's now playable, a bit big and a bit slow on my computer but better Wink Hope we'll get soon some real matches on your latest versions of these maps.

Ooops. Thanks for your feedback Cacatoes. This shader bug will be fixed for committing release.

Nice to see it in rotation. I did TONs of stuff to improve render performance but due it's size and desert/sand theme it is not as fast as industrial or spacemaps.

.
With current physics (OA085 one), it's impossible to get there.
With g_gravity changed to 790 (which is enough to fix most jump problems on maps), it's still quite short.
So, maybe the trajectory could be changed a bit to make it easier to jump there.
On a side note, this map is unfortunately underplayed, like many others.

Nah, just jump on the end of the jumppad. Walking on a jumppad brings you less far than jumping on it (but you're playing for ages, you should know that Tongue). Demo attached g_gravity 800.

Edit: maybe jumping alone doesn't result in a bigger launch, maybe it's because you're more close to the destiny. But still: jump around!

Oh right, but I'm the kind of lazy, hehe. In fact I simply thought that area was meant to be accessible, but if a little tip is necessary to get the red armor it's fine too. Smiley

Edit: oh, it's rabbi jacob .. ! Cheesy
