Hello to all...and a problem

[ScouT]

First of all, hello to all of you who play/run the multiplay servers, I am a regular player (usually by the name of ScouT) and I enjoy playing on the servers and increasing my xp levels.

There is something dodgy I noticed while playing earlier on a map called "backdoor" (or something similar); basically a player with full anti-grav can jump out of the map right at the begining and fall into a secret room with that powerful beam gun thingy in it (which can normally only be accessed much later on in the map). Basically this causes that player to get an insane amount of points instantly (because of the power of the gun) and also allows them to finish the map much quicker than it would normally take, which in turn ruins the map for other players.

Unfortunately due to bad mapping, I can't modify the map enough to block the sky. This map is a great idea, but clearly an "introduction to hammer" build.

I will consider removing this map completely. Modifying gravity skills for specific maps is very complicated with the structure of SCXPM right now.

I think u must not remove this map.

The points how u became with this plasma gun are not so high, as the points how u became with the minigun (there are a lot in the map).

The complete point score are not so high in the map.

[ScouT]

But it takes time to get the minigun, by which time someone with the egon could of easily killed most of the enemies. It is definately unfair and I think it should be removed.

[liv3d]

maybe remove the egon?

I could possibly block the ceiling if someone made a transparent model for me, the size of the sky gap at that spawn point.

RIPENT can't modify block work, however I can add a fake allied monster with that transparent yet solid model.

There is a player I know who always does this on thebackdoor. In fact I think he is the only person I've ever seen doing it. It might be the same person you're discussing. :D: At the start of the map as soon as the large doors open he shoots down the windows to the top left, jumps in and a couple of minutes later he's seen ahead of everyone else killing hgrunts with the egon. He also managed to open up all areas unaccessible at the very beginning, so the map could be finished in less than half the time it usually takes.
