Other Wave XIII Feedback Thread

wave xiii is bad because beaver creek is still in the rotation

 

@GalaThundR @puhdgy @Shawn_ @Insomniac__ y'all tag the rest for me I've gtg to work

But insomniac__ is going to need a recommit on his map after he moves stuff from under the flag room. He's also thinking that the lighting trick that you guys have been using might also be causing some frame drops. Do you guys think that might be a thing? @puhdgy @GalaThundR

I know that opp collide has some frame dropping issues as well.

Chernobyl has archer problems, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Any suggestions?

 

Well, first I'd like to say that this has been the overall most successful map wave since the move over to brawl. Everything was well planned out and the execution was almost perfect. It was great also we got to try out most of the potential maps and then deciding on the most likeable ones. Most of the maps that were brought into rotation via Wave XIII are great and I don't see many flaws. Only a couple I have some problems with.

First off Skytown and Skyworlds V. This is not due to the maps design but rather that now we have 3 versions of Skyworlds now in the current rotation. Imo however, I think Skyworlds I should be removed or be considered being removed (or either Skytown or Skyworlds V) to avoid having 3 of the "same" map in rotation

I'm also not a big fan of Night Raid II just b/c I get an insane amount of fps drop in the flagroom and I'm not sure how it is fixable.

I'm not also a big fan of Moria (but that's just because I hate the map in general).

That's all I gotta say. All the other maps seem to be fine imo with balanced gameplay.

 

7/10 Not enough Atlantis

 

Regarding the lighting issue, is it in-game or on build?
I'm going off the assumption he did //fixlighting | //removelighting.

If it's lagging on build that means lighting is still being updated so I would say to wait 30 seconds - 1 minute for the lighting to completely update before committing.
If it's lagging in-game that means the map may have been committed before all the lighting has updated and is being updated in-game by mages, medics, etc. or just updating naturally.
There's also the situation of too many non-solid blocks such as slabs/stairs, glowstone, glass, skulls, etc. that all also cause fps drops.

 

The fps issues are happening in-game. Anyone with secret rooms under the flagroom needs to relocate them somewhere that fps isn't as crucial.

 

I did the glowstone glitch and i think that was the problem. Ive done //removelighting then //fixlighting and it seems fine now. cheers

 

One thing, on the new opposites collide there's lighting errors galore especially in the underground sections. Could someone fix those along with removing a good portion of the skulls and plants? that map is a fps killer.

 

Aquafus V has a big spawnshoot problem. However, this is not a real shock, because all Aquafus versions have a problem like that. My suggestion would be, maybe making a wide screen (4 blocks high, 15-20 wide) made out of stained glass? (Red for red side and blue for blue side). This is just my suggestion, but I think it could help the spawncamping problem.

Also, I agree with @Ducksfan101 that there are too many Sky(worlds/town) maps. My personal suggestion would be to keep skytown and one of the skyworlds versions. Maybe get rid of Skyworlds I. Just my opinion.

Besides that, I really like the new wave and I'm glad it's out! Good job staff team and map builders!

 

Martian outpost flagroom is still tough to get out of :L I can try a few things there.

On the skyworlds rework I'm not sure that I like the spot behind the flagroom where it dips down. And I kind of miss the aesthetic of the single biome it used to be in, but that's just a personal preference.

I can run around maps tonight and force some lighting updates and work to get some recommits started tonight.


@xxMineSheepxx you asked about feedback thread. Have any fix suggestions?

Also @EddKrumbs @Kashyyyk @Unifier

 

Will look around and check, do you mean just martian outpost or all newly added maps

 

any feedback on any of the new ones.
I'm about to commit an attempted martian outpost fix

Working on diminishing some of the lag on opp 7. There were 600 buttons on the map.

 

Alright will work on it when I got time

 

@Insomniac__ did a lighting update and recommitted 8/21/17
@puhdgy removed things that i think were causing fps issues and pushed a lighting updated. recommitted 8/21/17
I probably broke a lot of things, im sorry. if you have a chance to tweak my botched map fixed feel free, and just grab a mod to recommit at any time.

did some adjustments to martian outpost's flagroom to try to open it more. has a couple sneaky dropdown spots in flag room, but not directly over the flag. people wanted some recovery sponges as well, but since the map is already so recovery-oriented i want to see what this does first. recommitted 8/21/17

 

Amazing video. I would love to see more videos like this made by you and advertised on the forum, they're brilliant!
