I have decided to release the map to the rest of the Guild. Please look for any bugs and/or suggest improvements to the map here.

Enjoy!

Finally I can abuse/ I mean have fun in this map

[Crazykenny]

Thnx allot mate

[Sgt. Nuker]

The newest version you sent me is top notch mate. However, IDK if it's my computer the new dev AI or (if you scripted the map) your AI that's causing this issue, but once in a while, I get really choppy game play. Everything will function normally for a few seconds, then everything will freeze for a split second. It repeats this for the remainder of the game. That being said, the map, the detail, and the theme is very well thought out.


My best,

Nuker

I think that it might be the AI and the new dev AI. AS you remember, the VZH AI was alot simpler and easier to kill. Probably EA's reason for not having a harder AI.

IDK if there is anything that I can do to fix that. I just added the combat zone and the AI waypoint paths.

Base to base waypointing, its allot harder to do, but it will guarantee it will kill the lag

[Sic]

My waypointing is always b2b.

[Crazykenny]

Its the savest, lagfree way in the world

[Sic]

You mean safest. Too bad I can't do waypointing in maps with more than 2 players.

[Crazykenny]

Well it isnt a matter of ''i cant do it'' Its more like a matter of patience...

[Sic]

In my case, it's a matter of I can't do it, but in cases where people know how to do it, they do it.

[Crazykenny]

Well if you can waypoint a 2 player map, whats so difficult in doing a 3 or 4 player one?

[Lord Atlantis]

I'll try the b2b waypointing. Yeah. What could go wrong? Making b2b waypoint paths on an 8 player map.

I'll post a new one once I am done with the b2b waypoint paths.

Is there any particluar names that the paths need to be named?

-Lord_Atlantis

[Sic]

CenterX, FlankX, BackdoorX.

[Crazykenny]

Or more Nerdy

-CenterPath1 t/m 8
-FlankPath1 t/m 8
-BackdoorPath1 t/m 8 (Not needed)

[Lord Atlantis]

Mmmmk. I'll get working on it and get a system that works for EVERY SINGLE AI path.

-Lord_Atlantis

[Crazykenny]

Do take in mind, you have to make every player a own path to another one. Thus 7 paths per player... AKA Lots of time...

[Lord Atlantis]

Let me do the math...

3 for the different waypointpaths
x7 all of the other players
------------------------------------------

21 different paths for each player
x8 for each player
------------------------------------------
168 AI waypoint paths

But if it makes this map one of teh best large maps made w/o lag, then I'll do it

-Lord_Atlantis

[Crazykenny]

Just reminding you it will take hours of precise work, one screw up and its LAGOTASTIC

[Lord Atlantis]

Thanks for the support Kenny. I'll post a new map download when I am finished.
