Dark water

Available now at FSK405 TS3 file channel or from the pond at:
http://digitalamusement.com/gamedev/maps/ut4_darkwater_r1.pk3

The map is an evolution of ut4_raid, now in an entirely different setting. Try it out, see if your system can handle the wetness. I made it rain!

If anyone has been able to play the map on the server, I'd like to know how things fared.

Getting ready to run it with just myself to see if it will run. If so, I will try it with a light load later tonight.

Loaded on private server. Server fine. Join server, server crashes. Will check logs to see if there is any relevant information.

Interesting...

Tried it locally. When I set to g_gametype 7 (ctf), I get booted back to the main screen with an error stating no valid spawn point exists. I tried FFA next, loaded fine. Will try on the private server tomorrow.

awesome map.

would like to play it without bugs (player gets stucked in ship etc --> http://www.mediafire.com/download/hncbho479nso85n/20131129_221815_derzerleger66_ut4_darkwater_r1_FFA.urtdemo)

Inherent Q3 (and thus UrT) buggeries with certain entities (bobbing, rotating, etc) unfortunately. Yes?

Runs only as FFA for me on our server. Next step: assess load with number of players.

It is quite difficult to do much, as the bobbing is extreme enough to make boat-to-boat journeys either rewarding, or frustrating. It reminds me of the map "ut4_pirates" (?name?), but with very stormy seas. Interested to see where this one goes! :D

Hey I figured out the missing flag problem! Only need a few more tweaks. Release 2 was an overall success. Thinking that spawns will get reordered to a traditional config. Might make the underwater more volumetric to deter getting comfy floating around.

Seems to be a love it or hate it map. Whichever. I t-bagged tampee, which is what really matters.

Thoroughly enjoyed playing it!!!

Fixed up a few things like launches/landings, tightened up gameplay including making stairs less sticky, added minor stuff like the intermission camera and minimap.

Calling it r5, just making sure it plays nicely before finalizing. @kitty or other admins, map is on the ts3 upload channel.

Thanks everyone.
