It was just whenever it was played and the server filled up it became one big laggy mess

Unfortunatly it does lagg like mad,even on others server.

But still a good fun map.

Good map... maybe except node setup (choke and one-way, leads to spawnkilling, overtime and could be boring after a few hgours of playing it...)

yes you are right mel, it also needed lots of team work which aint good for a public server

So back to the basaic question about the map. Are you going to fix it so we can play it again?

Post by **}TCP{Carnage** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 2:51 pm

That would be nice

i would love to readd it to the server .. since well it is just a fun map to play

well, i dont know how to fix it.. i think its just laggy couse its big.. maybe the big brushes makes it that laggy, so possibly if i would replace the wall brush with a static mesh could fix it... i have no idea

Do you still have what I gave you? Work on that and see if it helps.

I downloaded the map and opened it and UED. And i think i know why this map is so laggy. There is NO ZONING! (zone info etc.) If you just divide the map into 3 zones for example (one zone = one room) it should be much more less laggy.

Zoneing does not help much in big areas like this.

eek, noway frank

i would have to start from the beginning, and its not worth

Well, let me do it. Lets see what comes out.

But it helps - not much, but helps.

And something more about map optimization:

Gorzakk wrote: Firstly, channels. You want to keep the channel count low. Every shard of flak is a channel that the server CPU will have to account for and detect collisions of when it is airborne. Every player, vehicle, projectile, and pick up creates a channel. Keep them low, around 300 is about as high as you want to go. So get rid of pickups for weapons and ammo and use lockers. Add plenty of shock and miniguns to those lockers as instafire weapons dont create channels.
