Bam, mission update. Map's still A5.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gqcmvr4799hsxzn/AACBiR9ulU07V8Q9C0IXG6vPa?dl=0

Changes:

W1:

- Yeeted deleted 2 demomen in first wavespawn

W5:

- Changed break time from 50 to 35 seconds.

Also, bump, guess stuff could require judges' attention?

Alpha 5

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gqcmvr4799hsxzn/AACBiR9ulU07V8Q9C0IXG6vPa?dl=0

Changes:

map:
- properly clipped the fence
- added blockbullets2 brushes to fences
- put up trigger_hurt in side spawn (not in main one though since I doubt money will end up there during normal gameplay. sorry testers)
- expanded respawnroomvisuazer at bot's spawn with dropdown by 1 HU. now you can hit it when trying to rocketjump from below.

mission:

templates:
- lowered fire rate on subgiant flares

w1:
- halved amount of g. sollies + medics on initial subwave.
- replaced buff ban. soldiers with other bots.
- lowered heavies' skill to easy
- took out 2 spawns from 2nd subwave

w2:

- reduced intensity of last airdrop supports (+15 seconds between spawns)

w3:

- phlog's medics are now BigHeal type
- cut off 1 spawn from buffed banners in the end.

w4:

- cut off 6 crit soldiers. (though their spawncount is 3, yet 6 were walking together in the demo?)

w5:

- cut initial boring subwave in half
- cut down some bots from the first part before the break.
- added healthbars to giant black boxes
- last tanks now spawns when boss is active
- boosted boss' ult a bit.

As usual, testing requirements no gas gas, proj shield, and canteen spam. Gotta check the pacing, in case if there's weird hiccups and stuff and unbalances. I'd want last wave to last somewhere 8 minutes, excluding the 1 minute break time.

I actually planned to have those have the boss health bars to show their healing.

It would appear like there's already trigger_hurt installed in the tank entrance, if I'm not seeing things. Just checked it myself in offline, money seems to be picken up, though after a second or two it gets dropped. Probably gotta put up trigger in the side spawn though. Also, which respawnroom needs a no_entry thing?

Planned to do the patches for pickups once map hits beta. Though probably now I have to do them sooner?

Thanks for notifying about the blockbullets thing, didn't know it.

Guess in the meantime I'll rework the mission, gotta still wait for the demo suit to come back up.

Also, a question, didn't you feel that there, parhaps, were too much soldiers?

kept you waiting, huh?

Alpha 4

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gqcmvr4799hsxzn/AACBiR9ulU07V8Q9C0IXG6vPa?dl=0

Changes:

- Now includes custom mission which also requires testing. It's pretty crap.

- Added more cover up front.

- Changed ramp on the front side bot spawn so it would be less "powerful". Kind of.

- Area in the barn house thing is now kind of usable.

- Moar pickups.

- Messed around with nav_avoids for giants.

- Tried to fix robots getting invincible mid-flight by splitting navs that were intersecting with bot spawnroom brush.

So, now for the test requirements, mission now is also in need of test. So, no gas gas, proj shield, and canteen spam? Mission difficulty is advanced, though amount of spam might make it go beyond bs difficulty.

Uh, another bump. Currently can't grab the map by myself for public test, got some other stuff to do. Once I'll get some feedback, I'll get to do some more stuff with the map.

Somewhere 7 days passed? I guess I can bump stuff?

Alpha 3

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gqcmvr4799hsxzn/AACBiR9ulU07V8Q9C0IXG6vPa?dl=0

Changes:

- Added unnecessary custom models

- Cover at front is now higher

- Removed part of the ramp at front

- Added respawnroomvisualizers in air for parachuting bots so they'll know their limits. Kinda.

- Added fence on ramp connecting middle and front.

- Threw around a little bit of cover near player's spawn and on the left path. Not sure if little stuff that I added is enough, though.

- Nav_avoided barn shortcut.

- Airdrops should now be able to handle bot scale that's around 1.9 without bots getting stucc.

Used mission from radar for this time. Guess heavy swarm should put all the cover to test.

As always, if it's possible, ping me so I could join in and see how stuff works.

Bump? Nearly 10 days passed since a2a post, so I guess I can bump?
