But others do use it

Yes, but the point I'm making is that people should try using both radars when they play.

Any updates worth reporting?

map is basically finished, I'm waiting until (if) I finish the new gametype as well. Gimme a week or so for that.

However, I have one horrible and completely inexplicable glitch.

When you jump on a tramp, and look down-ish, you occasional get a visual effect akin to flickering between 3rd and 1st POV. I've removed various bits of the level in an attempt to find the cause, but I genuinely have no idea.

Here's a screenie:

Anyone have a clue what the hell is causing this?

Yeah admittedly I noticed that too, though I thought that was just me. It doesn't really intefere with gameplay, so it's not too bad.

Plaer, since your map has been pretty much guaranteed a place in the pack I'd like to see an updated release made sometime in the next three days if possible.

here ya go:
<removed>

I hope that's the right version

It had better be, 'cos I'm formatting the drive it was on as I type...

It doesn't seem to be an update at all I'm afraid. For one, it doesn't have the transparent radar I helped you with. Secondly, the titantrons have not been fixed. Two recommendations I would make if you still can't get them working would be to either remove the titantrons completely, or simply put a banner in place of the screen.

EDIT: If you see this not too long after I posted, please come onto IRC so I can speak to you.

the phrase SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT comes to mind...
My backup hard drive has just crashed and burned (hardware style...unrecoverable), about 2 hours after I formatted the primary partition on my main disk. I might have it on my secondary main partition...I might not...this sucks.

OK Plaer how does this sound? I'll fix up the radar again, and remove the titantrons since they aren't working.
Then I'll put that in the pack. Sound OK to you?

-plær- · Post by **-plær-** » 15-12-2003 20:15

I had it working. I had it all fixed. I will find it, or I will rebuild..

-plær- · Post by **-plær-** » 16-12-2003 15:38

Right, I've been able to stay stable long enough to get it back to some semblance of completeness. Radar still needs fixing, so I'll let you work your magic on that. Everything else is shiny.

I'll catch you on IRC and link you up...

Just attaching a pic to show Plaer the glitch I've been telling him about.

Should DB-Slamball be in the second Deathball Ownage Map Pack?
