deathrun_a51reunion

[Peter Brev]

Since Manlord's reunions are very successful, I have decided to make a map dedicated to it and to Manlord.

Welcome deathrun_a51reunion:
17 traps
13 endings
Few secrets lying around
Awesome music/SFX
And more...

The map has different themes:

COMBINE:

PROSPEKT:

The map is finished and will be released as soon as I get the file uploaded.

Very cool! Did you start making this awhile back? If not, that was pretty quick to put it all together

I like it!

I started on June,19 right after you posted the scoreboard of 20+ players being in the server when the reunion took place. Unfortunate I could not be there due to timezones as of right now.

[link removed] - There you have it.

Now don't find any problems, cubemaps are a pain in the ass to build.

I hope this gets more popular than helix, allstars, and castlerun all together. It should be in the beginning of the nominate menu anyways. Looking forward to playing it with everyone!!

There seems to be a problem.

It looks like the dr plugin does not like the map at all. There's a 15 fps lock and we're still trying to investigate the issue as to why it happens. It works just fine without it. Ant is thinking/testing and I'm gonna work on the map and see if anything in the map is causing the dr plugin to drain the fps.

Update: I've compiled different versions to troubleshoot that problem, I'm gonna be waiting for Ant to be online.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update 2: It seems Ant has narrowed down the issue. The problem is most likely caused by sounds, so I tried to fix it by reducing the amount of ambient_generics in the map.

On the way to updating the map, I also added some additional detail to the sewers section as it was extremely under detailed.

I am kidding of course. I just added some additional detail to make things look less repetitive and more attractive and realistic.

The issue has been resolved and the map is fully working. All the credits goes to Ant as he is the one to have found the problem.

I'm just awaiting... or we're just awaiting his final words on this topic as to when the map is on the server.

Peter,
Like we talked about on the server today, I looked into whatever happened with this map. It was added to the server for one of the past reunions, but was removed after only a few rounds due to random crashing of clients. You can see from the mapstats page it was played 6 rounds on the live server: https://www.area51servers.com/data/mapstats_dr.php

I will look into this further to see if it is still crashing or try to narrow down was exactly was the problem. The fps lock was fixed already.

This is where I am confused as to how the map could cause players to crash. It is the heaviest of my deathrun maps for sure, but it is not THAT heavy, though. Even my updated map dm_basebunker, which is three times as heavy, if not more, did not crash a single person's game.

Keep me posted!

The map was updated not long ago and is live on the server. Hopefully, we can play it during the next reunion!
