[DigiQ8]

CTF_Omega_redux is a map made by our very own Pi Mu Rho (our Space Defence Commander or something like that) and of course the map is awesome and epic win, so you must download it and play it! or he'll invade you. Pi said

er..umm.. it's a CTF map in a similar style to 2fort, but encouraging more open play

Yup, his words got me hyped to play the map.

It's a very good map, and I recommend anyone who can go to be there.

 

[Sheepo]

Seconded. I'm excited that there's gonna be an event too. YAYZ

 

[Asuka]

Looks interesting has a cool concept. Downloading.

 

[taviow]

It's great, I had a lot of fun playing it. :thumbs:

 

[Crispy]

I would try to be there but I'm working tonight.

P.S. That's a short credits list in your readme, Pi!

 

[omikron]

it's alright for a bit of public fun but it's too big for Matches I'm afraid.
There's no need for the centre bit to be there, and Reds can build an SG in a deadzone area... http://img413.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sgzk9.jpg whereas Blue cannot on their side.

There are also some problems with the barriers not being placed properly and having their collision boxes on different levels, meaning that players will collide with some of them and not others even if they are not close to it. http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=railing02pz8.jpg

I'm sure you want to improve it rather than everybody telling you that it's the best map since de_dust...I'm a professional level designer for a games company so I tend to be a bit of a Nazi when it comes to these things :monkee:

 

[Crispy]

Issue #2 was waived FYI. I don't think the first one was caught onto. I can't tell from the screenshot just how powerful that location is for SGs.

 

[Qhartb]

Where "tonight" there is "this afternoon while I'm at work" here. )-:

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

It was never meant for matches - just to be a fun CTF map. I hadn't spotted that sentry issue - that could be annoying.

It was good to see so many people playing on the server tonight - a good time was had, and nothing major cropped up. Must do it again sometime!

 

[Loke]

Thankfully my connection didn't **** up so I could play through it all. Didn't even expect so many folks either - there was like 24 players on at one point I think.

 

[mocho loco]

XD i missed it! it took to long to download the map. when will the next match be?

 

[Loke]

It's still running. Just jump in.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

it's still ongoing. I might arrange another for tomorrow, if people are amenable.

Also - http://www.fpsbanana.com/news/19103

Oh yes

 

[Sheepo]

Twas fun

 

[Polaris]

I played your map while ago, it's pretty fun!
I recognized only few players, Glectic Hlenn and Sheepo.

 

[Jer9-Carver]

I've been playing this map during the event, it was awesome!
It's really a great map!

 

[Wang Tang]

A cool map, maybe a little big underground/middle thing, but besides that, some nice rounds with you guys

 

[Druckles]

I can't make it tomorrow night, either. I have a rehearsal for my sister's wedding at 7:30. Shame.

 

[CyberPitz]

Well, looks like I always miss out on the fun shit

 

[Druckles]

There might be a weekend match at some point. That'd be fun.

 

[Drackard]

Looks awesome, didn't get a chance to join in last night as I have work today and thus needed some sleep. Will definitly try and hop on at some point tonight though.

 

[Sheepo]

Why does everyone consider 2:30 PM the night?

*remembers that this site has foreign people*

*"D:"s*

"flees"

 

[Xendance]

I forsee this map in an official update by Valve.

 

[Druckles]

I don't think it'll be anytime soon. They need another territory control and payload map first. Goldrush and hydro can't hold forever.

 

[Loke]

Especially pl. I'm getting sick of Goldrush.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

A payload map you say? Interesting...

And no, it's nothing like finished yet. I've only just started texturing/detailing.

 

[-Psy-]

I love how everything makes architectural sense once you start replacing dev textures with real materials.

 

[Druckles]

Come on, Pi. More screenies. This one's 30 minutes old, already!

 

[Sheepo]

Ha! I already have my expectations up! Ha!

 

[Loke]

I bet that bridge will be a bitch to cross.

 

[-Psy-]

I bet that bridge will be a bitch to cross.

I agree. It needs some railings at the side so people don't accidentally fall off due to the "bounce" effect that occurs when you walk into a teammate.

 

[Druckles]

It needs to be bigger in general. It's far too open for stickies and rockets. You'd never stay on.

I'd recommend levels below it on either side.

 

[Mahalis]

Lots of fun - the center area feels pretty cramped, I'll agree, but it works well. Lots of nice side routes around things for Pyro ambushes and such. Sentries seemed to die pretty easily, but maybe that was just my impression.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

A few of us are going to play on the server again tonight if anyone else feels like joining.

 

[Drackard]

I shall be there!

...

As soon as I finish work >_>

 

[Gray Fox]

I came yesterday but Pi left.

 

[ray_MAN]

What time tonight?

 

[Yorick]

I came yesterday but Pi left.

This + Your avatar = Perfection.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

What time tonight?

I'm playing in about an hour.
