PLR Hysteria

A stand-alone version, with a new name. I'm treating this as a separate map from Panic.

Hello old friend.

more like euphoria

True story, I actually had a dream about this map the other night, but couldn't mention it due to the rollback. It was probably influenced by Mecha's upcoming Robot Fortress mod, where instead of the bomb rolling back by itself, there were waves of bots pushing the bomb forward and backwards.

There were friendly waves of bots spawning from a giant machine at the bottom of the ramp, and enemy bots spawning at the top, and the bots were the only thing that could actually push said bomb. So you'd have to clear enemy waves of bots so your own bomb could advance, while attacking the enemy ones that were pushing their own bomb so you could conceivably push the enemy bomb backwards into the bot spawner to blow it up.

Also, the bass cannon was replaced with a giant floating gauntlet (ala Master Hand), and there were turrets along the walls that'd shoot little rocket-fist-gauntlets at people to knock them around/off the platform.

And that's my admission of insanity for the day.

I'd play this map competitively

Yet again, the cries of new TF2 players echo through the servers hosting this map.

I think this stage deserves it's own map really, I never managed to play long enough to get to it often.

Did you know that the word Hysteria take his source from the greek "hystera" which mean uterus ?

And what does uterus (or womb) mean, or more importantly, what does it represent? hystera = the place life starts/grows.

Upcoming changes for b2:
Backwards card speed reduced by 25%
Cart speed levels upgrade every 1:45 min (previously 45 seconds). This should lengthen the rounds a bit and make the initial battle less deciding.
Added warning system to the pit end of the track
Stalemate if no one touches the carts
Every single light entity redone/replaced with instances.
Slight color correction
Redone optimization from scratch, due to the straight layout every area can't be optimized though (mostly the far extremes at top/bottom of track), current worst fps area is comparable to pipeline stage 3.
Added a some doors and extended a wall on the middle building to aid with optimization.
Cut off one/two (both sides) cheeky sightline that was too hard to counter.
Retextured some buildings.

Just typing it out while I still remember, I'll probably compile tomorrow.

Saving for next next update: indoor detailing.
