Ho Ho Ho!! There was sleet in the air earlier!

[Visine]

Wahooooooooooooooooo

Xmas maps for SLV.:)

Will they be on the server??

I remember the tree could cause some lag.

And the fallingsnow could bring a server to its knees.

But still

PLeeeease

Heh, nice one. I'll see if I can get them on.

Tree - yes, caused much lag. Neo'll have to decide whether that goes back on.

Snow - wasn't that just on one or two maps?

[Batty]

I think the main culprit for snow-lag was CTF-UnderTheSnow, maybe BadNeighboursSnow too.

:D: Almost time for CTF-AcidPipeXmas and CTF-XmasVillages again \o/

[Visine]

Yes have to agree with Batty

CTF-UnderTheSnow was murder. Shame really it was a lovely map with a unique layout.

Now if it was possible to turn off the snow :D: would be excellent just not so xmassy.

Batty - There's no Xmas Village on the list, sorry, will have to wait another day.


:(: My favourite Xmas CTF maps are CTF-AnAcidPipeXmas, CTF-Eminence and CTF-XmasVillages so I'll see what I have hanging around :)

Edit:

from the list we compiled last year these are the files required for Eminence and XmasVillages:


CTF-Eminence
CTF-Eminence.unr
Scotch.umx
Eminence.utx
WoT.utx
gate.utx


CTF-XmasVillages
CTF-XmasVillages.unr
Pumm-xmas.utx


can't remember if they were on the servers or not last Xmas though.

[LOVER!!!!!!!]

My my my- BA HUMBUG!! :mad:

Can you please add (SLV)Knot back? Because Xmasknot is not a snowy version of it, but a different map.

[superturboJET]

Can you please add (SLV)Knot back? Because Xmasknot is not a snowy version of it, but a different map.

Well, at least the xmas knot is properly balanced, unlike the ordinary one :p

[assrat]

It's more than that (ignoring the rocket launcher and the cannons in the spawn rooms). The blue base is broader and shorter than the red base, which makes it even more difficult to defend than the red base on the original Knot. One path between the bases has been drastically shortened so a) it's much harder to snipe players on SLVs there and b) the attack sequence is increased because you only need a few seconds to fly into the opponent base.
That doesn't have to be a bad thing, but as I wrote it makes it a new map and not a snowy version of (SLV)Knot.

[Flash_]

Could we have some more views on this from the regulars please?

I didn't really want two versions of Knot on there because it's a map some people really hate (in any version) and was wondering whether a complete change would be okay for the next 4 or 5 weeks until we change the maps back?

But ofc, if there's enough votes for putting the old one back as well we will.

Speak, players of SLV!

[assrat]

If (SLV)Knot comes back after christmas (no matter if Xmasknot gets removed or not) it's ok for me. I just don't want to lose the map completely.

[Duffy]

would be good if xmas knot could be made the same layout just not xmassy as it would stop the old arguement of who has the advantage blue or reds,

[MOD]

hello i just had a look at the almostxmas06 map and made some changes mainly to the lighting to get the fps better and also added path nodes so that relics will appear i changed it from 06 to 07 if anybody would like to test it for better fps or if it would be possible to put it on the servers pls get in touch

[ramJET]

[Flash_]

Would like to leave the maplist as-is for the time being (although the moonmap will be added later today), unless there are serious problems with any of the maps.

Thorns - That's the default map (ie, after server crash) so I think it would be better to leave it as-is as it's tried and tested and known to be reliable and quick to download.

[MOD]

hello the origonal almots was flawed it had the invisible wall thing going on behind the stairs in redbase and had a bad fps i think mainly because of the rotating coloured spot lights near each flag that had thier light radius set to 255 the max radius . i did remake it to see why it had a low fps and to get rid of the invisible wall thing .but never got round to giving it to anybody to try on a server .think it was just before truffs closed down .anyway the xmas 1 and nellies new 1 are much better .if you want to check it out for fps difference just send me a email and i will send it
