Map Test Gameday for 01-24-09

[Dox]

Sorry for the thread delay

This event, like the last event, everyone who submits a map will get a 30 minute slot. If more then 10 people submit a map, then everyone gets a 20 minute slot.

Now if you have a map that is closing in on "Final" status, I will consider that map having a 40 minute (if 10 or more submit, 30 minute) slot. Still counts towards the 10 maps.
Event will begin at:

Central European: 7:00PM
UK: 6:00PM
Eastern: 1:00PM
Central: 12:00PM
Mountain: 11:00AM
Western: 10:00AM

Event will take place at:

US TF2Maps.net Server: 72.233.93.233:27015

Submission Rules:

Please submit all maps by 6 PM EST on Friday

YES!

The purpose of this update was to test if a faster cart improves gameplay flow.

BTW, what happened to starting earlier? Maybe starting at noon EST was a bit too early, but the server got a full pop a few maps later.

Can we try 1:00PM EST?

I was thinking we'd do this next weekend, but s'all good. If we keep getting such heavy traffic like the last few, we'll need to have gameday over multiple days and/or servers.

I don't want to be a nitpicker, but are you sure you want to plan so far ahead for a gameday? (Check your date)

even though there's a version in the contest, i'm still not completely happy with it, so i'm still making changes. - just cos these changes are too late for the contest itself, i see nothing wrong with still trying to make it as good as i can.

Please test for:
- Cap times (balance and mysterious too fast caps)
- Difficulty
- Any problems I haven't noticed yet

Known Issues:
- Skybox from roof
- intel returns to base
- chairs start tipped over
- Rooftop brushes
- Might be too easy to spawncamp blu

Other:
- I'd also really like to know what people think about moving blu spawn closer to the underpass and red spawn directly between A&B rather than at B.

To the organizer:
I don't think people should be punished for where they live.

Assuming this is for January and not November, I'll submit my map. Finally! =D

PS. I'd love to have a very early spot - the earlier, the better, because gameday tends to drag on too far into the night for me (that's not a suggestion to change the time for the event, I just need tons of sleep ).

Testing: I'd like to know how the alternate routes added affect the choke points, and it's smaller by 70 mb.
