Quoting sobe | My map will be uploaded to my site and I will ask certain peeps to dl very soon. The weapon placement is kinda hard to figure at this point. So I want a little feedback on what weapons should be added. |
im confused. why would you upload it to YOUR site? you dont want all the mappers to have access to it? you dont know how to use FTP? i dont get it. you also stated you would ask CERTAIN peeps to DL it. once again, i dont get it. do you not respect the opinions of all the mappers involved in this? PLEASE. help me understand. |

This isn't a selective testing process. Testing will occur with all other mappers, not just a select few. Please upload your map to the RFU4 FTP. There's no reason to restrict it from anyone. The RFU FTP is locked down and only other RFU mappers have the username and password. I will send you the information via IMS. If your map is not tested with the rest of the maps, I can't guarantee it will be included. This happened before and a flawed map was released because simple mistakes weren't fixed.
End of story. |

Quoting DVL-Blaze | EDIT: and Beat the band is Blink182 correct? |
Yep! Blink 182. Thing is its a really small basic map, which is why im wondering if it would be allowed. not much cover either I need someone to test it with me, at the minute I can only think of like 6 Spawn points...MAX.
I need someone to help test this with me ASAP. I want this map touched up (not in a Micheal Jackson way ) and finished off. so I can try to get a nicer one done. which is highly possible if you knew how long the Blink 182 map took me |

well i\'ve been playing the RFU4 maps off and on,Look really good so far..only played 3 though
In BaBoom(unsure who made it) I found a texture glitch.nothing really big but if you fixed it it would be even better.

EDIT: It's a little hard to see where the glitch is in that picture but if you go to that place in the map you will see what i mean
also I found that the music keeps repeating itslef. Very annoying IMO |

I've just had a try of Planetary, I managed to crash it pretty easily:


This is the same problem I have with the RFU3 lunar landing map. I think it's to do with my graphics card {GF4 4200} it happens about 1-2 geo's before the crash.
Couple more things:
I think the name could do to be changed to DM- instead of dm_ since on the map list it appears away from the other RFU4 maps.
You can fall off the level into water outside.
The file is over the 10MB limit - you should be able to reduce the quality of the music without it being noticable in RF.
---------------------------------
BaBoom is a very strange thing indeed, rightly so though heh.
My only real problem here was with some of the textures ( the one Blaze mentioned and also at the very top of the 'bouncy room' - the wooden beams ).
I hope Ange knows that all of the object movers will only work for the server 
I did get down to about 15fps in places which was worrying, maybe needs more portals.
---------------------------------
Daft Daft, really like this one especially the water Other than maybe giving me a seizure (in a good way) I didn't find anything immediately wrong with it.
Maybe a little small, the sizes of the rooms I mean.
---------------------------------
Overall I've noticed that not everyone is naming maps using the same conventions, I thought that we were to name the save file DM-RFU4-Name.rfl / .vpp and in the level properties RFU4-Name? |

hmmm..ok thanks for the heads up.i don't believe the map file itself is larger,if so then not alot,than 10 mb.i will check though...I just check the file size.when it's .rarED it's 2.7mb.are we going by .rar or .vpp?i knew i forgot something ok so i'll add some borders to stop you from going over. |

Nonono... I still have stuff to be done. I just want a few opinions before I set it up on the RFU4 FTP. And no A1, my FTP is encrypted for admin only from my webhost.
What is the RFU4 ftp?! I missed that part |

Would it be possible to set up an ftp folder where each of us can deposit a log for use in the other maps (assuming the mapper wants such things)? I'd like to include logos of the other mappers in my second map. |

Yeah, it's a good point. I am sure I've named it exactly like this, as per the other RFU packs 
And where was your critique of my map I'm assuming that because there isn't one that it's perfect |

I had a test with SKA on my map, and also on his one. All I can say is his map will blow you all away! I loved it. My map I had a feeling it was a bit too small and he agreed. my only other idea to sort it out was to make another 3 Symbols below it, however that will mess up the game play worse IMO 
Suggestions? Its only 77kb so if anyone has a spare 5 mins chat to me on MSN |

Were we playing the same map? 
Beats map is tight meaning its gonna be great fun to play... especially if he puts a rail gun in there.. with the glass floor that will rock.... but not for me, as Beat can testify, I suck with the rail gun.
I was just wondering what technique are we using for the music i.e so that the music works with Mac users.. or at least does not crash. |

I also had a look at dm_rfu4_planetary
and in addition to grim i've got some pictures to add:

I was able to blow holes in the outerwall, using the groung, when fallin of the level i land in water outside of the level, and i can look trough the total of the level, also some times I can just look trough the piramide.
I can't hear the music
P.S.
don't forget to change the level name and the packfile name.
Mainly I have the idea this map still needs alot of work. but keep it up! |

i just looked at my file name, and apparently i named it\"DM-RFU4_PiNkFlOyD\" instead of \"DM-RFU4-PiNkFlOyD\" ill make sure thats fixed before final submission. in the level properties, does the name have to be the exact same also? 
on another note....i tested planetary, and it looks pretty cool. but yeh crashed REAL easy. and i too was able to get out of the map in alot of places. some easy fixes i think tho still got plenty of time to fix these, so dont get stressed. 
only 6 maps running on the test server people. but there running, so test em out |
