Hi guys,

Would there be any interest in a map testing session this Thursday night? Steel has gone through a few more iterations and is now on test12 and is in need of some testing, and I have 2 other maps from other mappers I'd like to test, cp_dogblu and cp_overflow_b4. We just need to round up as many people as possible as the ideal situation is to get 20+ people who have all (ideally) seen the maps - a casual walk around is all thats needed. If there are any other maps people would like to test (assuming they are complete!) then please please post them here and hopefully we'll try it!

Test12 isn't quite ready yet but should be ready by tomorrow, Fishbus or I will post the link to it here. I'm waiting on confirmation from the author of dogblu that it's the most recent version, and overflow I downloaded from fpsbanana so afaik that's the most recent version.

If any of the admins could add this to the |H|H| events page on Steam, I'd be really grateful.

Cheers!

Oh yeah - would be looking to kick off around 9:30pm, to whenever people stop playing

Sounds like a plan to me. don't think cp_dogblu is on the server though.

cheers minty!

here's the latest version of steel: http://skeebz.com/bigstuff/cp_steel_test12.zip

also a link to download dogblu_b3: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/45654

another mapper asked me to have a go of his completed map, http://tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=491 ctf_core_b1.

Sorry to be a pain, but t'would be grand if you could upload core and the latest steel.

Fishbus, Eni's brother is the mapmaker. It's a fantastic map I would love to see it in rotation. Shame the short respawn times were on when the Valve guy showed up but otherwise it was a good night. Maybe we should consider having normal respawn times on all servers.

A guy from Valve turned up?

Yup to check out the map. Look at his steamid http://hampshireheavies.hlstatsx.com/?mode=playerinfo&player=23624

Eric Smith, software developer.
Should invite him round more often then. Imagine, if we became the Valve employees favorite servers?

Unlikely.

Yeah agreed, I prefer normal respawns these days. Maps are much more balanced using them.

Great Minty.
