Great map. High quality and good design.

Fantastic map, and... well... with some surprises too hehe xD

Also I now see I typed "have the lights go out" twice.

Love the generator. It makes a pretty good map so much more interactive. But I do feel like it would be better as a one time levelution. Maybe have a well lit map for the first few rounds, then have the lights go out mid-game have the lights go out. forcing the players to go between dimly lit rooms, using only their flashlights to navigate long hallways. Maybe this would last 1, 2, or 3 rounds depending on the game length chosen. All this while the players wait for the backup power to kick in. Then everything turns a less dim red. only thing is i'd be more fun to have the players do it too. only organic way I could think of doing this would be to have a no-power related environmental damage force the players to the generator room. Maybe something like lack of oxygen on a space station map. I might even be willing to put money towards a map like that... Anyway, good job with this.

Is it able to switch time theme? I don't like Whiteout theme, Dark night looks way better, on my opinion

wow, just wow

F*CK THAT JUMP SCARE
LoL didn't see that one coming

Power functions just fine. Beyond that, I'm assuming weather is the only other major mechanic? If the intention is to randomly decide a weather type and stick with it, I think that works just fine. I believe the expectation from some is that the weather would change multiple times throughout the game.

Given Endless obviously goes far beyond the normal set of rounds, the weather being the same for several hours due to the game lengths is just very noticable. The weather does NOT change (at least not that I have seen) after the occasional first change during the early rounds.

The problem regarding new game modes is that I have no idea how they function internally and don't really have the urge to do the research. Do they not work at all?

Also, regarding whiteout/night switch - map loads up with whiteout on and then randomly decides which weather to set.

If you're fixing the map, would you please consider looking at the issues I posted below pretty please :) at the very least getting the randomized weather to work in endless mode.

Okay now this is unacceptable, I'll check what I can do.

Hi there! I know you said you're avoiding massing with the map, but there's a serious OOB glitch we've found. We would be very grateful if you would consider addressing it. I am not sure if this is the only place on the map where this is possible. https://youtu.be/tU6J02ZBSOk?t=117 (video links to exploit)

Sad to hear :( it's a very well done map and other than the issues I've mentioned, I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from the players on my 64 slot server.

Would you consider perhaps allowing another mapper that is active in the KF2 mapping community and have them fix the issues?

Hi HAPPYCAT, no, unfortunately no plans on updating the map. Updating maps for this game is a pain and a lot of stuff can randomly go wrong, and I'm not really sure if TW fixed all of that. Maaaaybe if they release a new game difficulty which is harder than currently not-so-hard HoE I'll get back into the game.

Any plans on updating this map to support endless mode? Stand your ground objectives? At the moment the map starts with the whiteout, and then it turns to night and stays that way the rest of the game. Would be great if the whiteout and night switched every wave or so.

Also the area in the screenshot below is too easy to hold. Perhaps have zeds spawn from the roof above it? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1369138195

The Thing

lovely

That flag...
Such beatiful norwegian smell on it! Ja :D

*if there's a jumpscare, I missed it.

Not bad, I definately prefer it too dark as opposed to too light. You can work with the darkness, but too bright is just blindingly white and painful on the eyes! (so no, I didn't try that).

You sir, are an asshole.
Great map, but fuck that jumpscare.

Great map! Only thing I'd change is make the windows lower and/or large enough that you can blow them out and jump through them to the outside if things get too crazy.

Amazing map. Well done.

Thanks. :>

This map , is to me, one of the best player-map I played, until now: :p

I'm going to update it very soon(TM of course), you'll like it. :>

Great map ! :o

Thank you. :>

Updated the map with various fixes.

I did that because in some cases zeds acted weird when they were trying to move around.

The hitboxes for metal bars and the light towers are really hindering. It looks like you can move side to side, but you're actually pinned by an invisible barrier.

Yeah I understand. It would also be nice if the file name and name in the config updated automatically updated

If filename will be the same it might cause a big mess because you will not be sure if your version is fresh or not. As I see it filename change only may hurt server map rotation string.

Anyway, I'm not sure if i will do any more updates unless TWI decides to suddenly fix landscapes not working properly if you make holes in them (I need it for hangar entrance). Considering how fast this company fix bugs and stuff, it's absolutely possible that this will never be fixed.

Please keep the filename the same when updating. It caused an error on my server when you changed it from 08 to 09a and I have to fix it manually. Thank you.

more like random time of the year
huheueu

Glad it's alright now.

Just re-added it to the rotation and it has now loaded in, will give it a play later, thanks for the quick response!

Not sure if I changed the thing that caused the error, but let's hope it works. If it won't, then upload full log file to somewhere, pastebin would be okay.

That wasn't the complete error (comment wasnt long enough for me to paste it all in) I will re-add to the server and have another try, looking forward to playing it, thanks!

Actually, may be I've found what caused it. Just one dumb mistake.

Not sure if it's the whole log file, can you upload it somewhere? I'm not playing the game anymore and can't quickly test it with my own server.

As for lack of snow, well... I couldn't find what causes it and for me it works alright. If you're still here, Najix, can you tell if the snow works for you?

Looks like a really good map, but causes my server to crash when trying to load this map (doesnt seem to do this for any other custom maps):

Hm, that's a problem. Environment detail should've given you the snow. I'll look into it next week. Thank you for reply!

Sorry for the double comment, there seems to be a 1000 character limit per post.

Finally, a suggestion - the entrance to the hangar is a bit blocky, perhaps making the ledge out of concrete that has some ice hanging off of it could work, the wall underneath being concrete rather than snow.

Hello there. I absolutely love this map - it's huge, it has the AWESOME twist with the generator (and the surprise guests when you turn around), and it has a lot of tactical options, and easy to remember routes. Probably my new go-to map, really.

That being said - while the night version is pretty much perfect, in the whiteout version I've encountered a couple of bugs.

First off, as another user said, the snow does not appear, making visibility outside a non-issue (except for zed-time, when I'm simply blind).

Another issue stands with some objects inside when the lights are out. While the lighting of the rest of the room (near windows) is brilliant, those objects really stand out, and perhaps that should be looked at.

I've uploaded my settings and screenshots of the bugs here -> http://imgur.com/a/uZmbN

Played KF-Antarctic-06 map today, Not sure if it is the same map, but before wave 5 when I turned on the power in generator room, I saw 6 ghost-like thing showed up behind me...

Nice map just to dark for me

It depends on one of your graphical settings, I don't remember the exact setting, i think it's "details". The snow can destroy the performance on PCs that are below average. You should be able to see it if you will set everything on high.

I love the 50/50 chance of whether I'll be fighting in a blinding whiteout during the day or in a calm, starry setting of night.

Although, there's something I've begun to notice. In the whiteout set, I'm not seeing any snow falling. It could just be me then, but when I did a comparision between the whiteout preview (the screenshot above) and actual gameplay, it's only a white haze. Again, it's probably just me. I'd figured it would be best if I let you know about it.

Other than that, I've greatly enjoyed playing this map entirely. Very well done!
