I am quite done with Interdiction at this time. I would just like to set up a couple things in a better way. If we are planning to update on this week there's not much time for another map. I tried working around OldTown some time ago but it's almost completely filled with newer packages and that would be burden to replace, either having people to use 2.8.5 packages as a whole (which would mean a quite huge patch update by our standards) or the other way around, picking out only the materials being used in the map and includ them in the 285 tagged packages i already setted up a while ago for Interdiction (which used a relatively small amount of 2.8.5 materials).

Actually i recall i already talked about that with Spanky and the idea was about converting the game materials (meshes, textures and sounds) as a whole but taking out the 2.5 materials so to have a much more size-efficient patch. Unfortunatly it seems that the packages aren't extremely well organized and while there's a path for guess estimating what belongs to one version or to the other, some packages are mixed with materials from both.

I didn't even realize there was a change log.

Better than having to ask around if things are fixed or not. Btw i'm not sure whether it was last used, i still use it don't know about others.

Not on my updated version of Hospital You can't jump off the roof.

Oh. That's true, good job it was very kamikaze-like anyway, lulz.

P.s. sligthly lesser, i just noticed you lifted up the roof by a little and that allows you to jump onto the next roof, i'll put a playerblock volume there and close to another area i just reminded of.



This is the area i recall of some people using to camp and ambush the enemy - close at the ambush spawn.

There's a certain area exploit on Dockside that kinda breaks the gameplay a lot.

Care to take a screenshot?

Im not sure i understand. Would it be something that is outlining the doorway or just something inside of the room somewhere? I dont see anything outlined in pink.

You would see a big pink outline cube/volume inside the room, there are many otherwise unreacheable rooms featuring Player blocks volumes in Hospital because a lot of em also have windows (players could enter and camp inside if they were reacheable).

While taking off a few bugs i reported earlier ( http://aao25.com/maap/official-maap-v7-bug-reporting-thread/msg21383/#msg21383 ) by setting up player collision blocks i was thinking that there are a few objects and areas (like cars, trucks, and hospital furniture) that might benefit from a smoother, more natural collision to improve the feeling and actually make things feel smoother to move onto/nearby. What's your take?



*To clarify that for the lesser interested about technical matters of the game, player blocks collision are non-visible objects that can be placed to ease collision of otherwise multi-faceted objects. This doesn't modify the gameplay, nor it modifies any visuals, but adds a more refined layer to the physical world (briefly, helps taking movement chunkiness out).

Room behind 1st floor reception desk?

Exactly.

I retested myself offline, i have almost never seen someone reaching that spot in years, it's kinda wierd because it couples with another "area reach exploit" i know of which is a bit embarassing (on the same map, Hospital).

Imho all of those area exploits kinda spoil the game and are perfect for a camping gameplay -.-

Also, I fixed the team names. It's now Assault North and Assault South. As for the really loud objective sounds, I couldn't find anyway to make them quieter. All that was there is the place to choose what sound is played, when, and for how long.

Sound radius and Transistent sound radius values in the Sound tab are default for both objectives, therefore too high (64 and 300). Lowering them to around 15/20 and 20/25 will fit i think.
