Paging Alterium...

"He's playing without a desk"

Phi you're my hero.

Maps don't get serious testing outside of leagues. It's a catch 22.

Logjam has matured like fine wine, boys. Let's see it.

I just went and had a sandwich with eXtine maybe a month or so ago, can confirm he still eats

Gotchu fam, anytime. Hopefully it plays smoother now, let me know how it does.

- logjam boner intensifies -

I had to go in to work super early (I usually work from 1PM to 1AM, so getting there at 6AM was way early) to go tour some of our other facilities and my boss forgot, so my other boss told me to go home.

I smiled because instead of touring a bunch of stuff all day like a zombie I got to go home and go to bed.

You find out, you let me know. Getting testing is always the hardest part, I've found.

I did have a lot of luck with ETF2L and getting mixes run on maps, they're usually game to try anything - you might look around and see if you can find any prem players willing to help.

yes please sign me up.

Grizzle, I recommend playing 6's and gaining friends that play 6's.... most of my early testing came from asking a number of friends to come play on my maps on my server. Once I had enough attention, then I could get bigger groups / higher caliber players to test.

Not that I've ever made a map worth a shit, but I've found ways to try them....

Emphasis on the really old, lol... thought this thread was going to be about that and then remembered that it's already probably been a few years since b4nny and Phi started the Cardinal project...

I seemed to recall someone said get rid of them, but I wouldn't be shocked if that wasn't the opinion of everyone. Easy fix if you guys want that added.

And sure thing. I have 1/2 the week off from work at this point, so if you guys want something done early week I can do it fo sho.

Alright, after a billion + 1 problems later... here it is, "new" logjam, cp_logjam_mix1

Features:
- RC2a last, lobby, saw, main choke
- Most of RC2a's detailing throughout the map (I backdated RC2a structure wise to meet B19 overall)
- B19's cave, logroom, upper lobby exit, 2nd point, middle point

Note: I'm not considering this to be RC anymore. I basically got the map functioning and it still has a fair amount of detail, which is good. But there's Z fighting here and there, light leaking through displacements, a couple broken textures, etc. I'll fix that if the layout works out, there's nothing gamebreaking in there at the moment.

Anyhoo, feel free to post any questions, feedback, etc. here as always or feel free to add me on steam. (username is Hyce777).

Ran into about a billion problems with the map compiling (joy oh joy) but it's almost ready for a test version. Probably have it uploaded later tonight (GMT -8:00 / pacific time) for testing tomorrow I suppose.

Ok - here's kind of a "is this what you want / is hyce crazy" post:

Take a look thru this imgur album, I've kinda got red side bastardized between RC2A and B19. Biggest questions I have right now are do we use b19 or RC2a's logroom and upper lobby exit onto 2nd, the rest of it I feel pretty good about. No playable version yet, this map looks like frankenstein at the moment...

b19 layout with rc2a last / lobby + catwalk from the recent version ? That's actually probably not too hard to do. I'll see what magic I can work. Keep your eyes peeled.
