Ok, ignore my last statement about tweaking..

I tweaked the station by making it totally hollow, it was solid before.
I will upload another new version in about an hour. I would like everyone to post thier FPS while playing with 4 bots and particles off.

[L3th4l]

I turned off particles now and i must say it's much better than before. It's passably playable now (i just played with 3 bots in sp-mode, so i dont know how it'll become when the server gets crowded...)
But please dont kill the station

Any map you have problems with, turning particles off will help greatly.

Playing with bots will reduce your FPS more then playing with real players, the bot AI puts a greater load on your CPU. So just keep in mind that your FPS will be better with real players..

New Version UP. Link in first post

Optomized the station and removed the cactus as they were causing FPS to dip.

This is the last update till next weekend..

1.) Removed tunnel and added a station and water tower (you can jump off the train onto the station to get to the back of the train quickly, but make sure you don't miss the train )

OMG this is awesome !

BTW, I've just put it on my test server

My fps on this version didn't drop below 27 (with vertex shadows), which is not bad.

Played with 4 bots , particles off and lightmap:


Was playable now, only when shooting with the sawed-off the fps went down to 15 for less than a second. Otherwise my fps didn't drop below 25.
So for me it would be ok now.



Now i've got a suggestion for the br_train map:

What do you think about moving the escape point of the robbers to the station?? (if this is generally possible)
This would an interesting change in gameplay, i think

[L3th4l]

Can't because the station moves and you can't make the escape move with it...

Playing with the new station is really something !
About the closing doors, that is a good idea to let them manual, only on cabin doors.
About FPS, it did not drop below ~20 with particles set to few and lightmap.

I took some screenie about a clipping problem I guess.
Not really critical but I think it could be quite useful for robbers

[L3th4l]

That is an engine problem. It happens when your head hits the ceilling before the apex of your jump.. I guess now that I got rid of the tunnel, I could make the double decker a tad taller..

[hika]

Like I said, it's nothing i can fix (I tried). I tested it on a few other maps and it does it on all of them. This will have to be a job for Sig or Torhu

About the dynamite disappearing bug, it is now fixed.
I will update the bug database.

[L3th4l]

Sweet

[ReD NeCKersoN]

Could everyone please check to see if they have the latest version of this map please? I cannot connect to either test server due to an older version of Train.

[L3th4l]

There is a new version and I forgot to post about it. The servers will have to update... My bad.. Not many changes though...

[hika]

OK, it is on my test server.
I hope that all the testers will update their wq_train.pk3 in time, then.

The smoke looks really, really cool!

Play it only very briefly but I guess there is nothing left to do besides the clipping stuff hika "sherlock" manchot "holmes" figured out once again ... which is probably not really an issue.
