Black Mesa Training Simulation: Resonance Cascade

[worldly bone]

haha no

funny how both players and monsters look similar eh

[graceful parcel]

I remember talking with someone about an idea for the Operative

Something like higher speed and more capacity for flares.

And a dart gun that deals damage over time.

[worldly bone]

someone really went and thought "yeah this be a a rest animation for hwgrunt, fuck you, get on posing"

[graceful parcel]

happy hwgrunt after mowing down the entire server

[tepid nymph]

By the way, i remembered how when i way playing once l, i spent so much time on the map a random shotgunner spawned and was immediately killed by zombies. Was it normal, or some glitch?

[worldly bone]

actually no let me change step sounds

[worldly bone]

i think that is an event where hecunome spawns

[worldly bone]

theryurog

[wooden hound]

i actually like it for when military is present, it makes it seem like they have propperly searched the area.. but my man barney be getting replaced

[wooden hound]

the world of rng, it happens almost everywhere on the map, just a roll if tou see it or not

how many people have seen zombies hitting vending machines, monsters eating bodies, human grunt looking down the elevator / bashing the window

theres alot of random ai shit

1000+ messages

[graceful parcel]

it's because this map is the goat

[wooden hound]

Gonome be like
'Huh, hes dead.. well I wonder whats in Her- HEY'

https://tenor.com/view/subway-surfers-ghost-tricks-trick-no-coin-gif-25827211

deleted tama footage

[graceful parcel]

that was just after spawning in the elevator

rng is brutal

[worldly bone]

so called torture players when they spawn in and meet gonome firsthand (its part of the torture)

[wooden hound]

update will be released hopefully thos weekend.

[worldly bone]

looking forward to test

-# one more game!

[wooden hound]

Pipe wrench is currently in the works for the maintenance class - the map has also had the 'optional' shutters require the custom toolbox maintenance spawn with - they will only be able to open these route / ammo caches, the other objectives however such as retina / generator can still be used by any class to avoid deadlocks

[graceful parcel]

the shutters will only work with the light toolbox?

pipe wrench op if its the same as op4

charge attack disintegrates everything

[wooden hound]

The Shutters required for Progress ie. Basement - can be used with the standard toolbox, however the shutter at each basement elevator entrance which are used just as ammo storage + additional item locations, are now special access for the maintenance class to bring more spice to the class making him more useful.

The Pipe wrench from op4 will be an AS version, it'll be the new weapon between the Knife and Pipe - a weapon that doesnt spawn around the map and will replace the screwdriver weapon for maintenance - you will not be able to infinite charge, it will have a max charge dmg of 17 and will not be able to repair

Maintenance Appreciation Update

Hope that answers that

Also tama

a slight update

[worldly bone]

if hp wont be buffed can u at least add a bit more armor

[wooden hound]

i can do that

just need the pipe_wrench finished

and to figure out how to do spr for the pipewrench

[worldly bone]

i mean

cant you use the default one?

its 640hudof01.spr and 640hudof02.sprfor select with the txt file
weapon 640 640wrhudsc 0 0 170 45 weapon_s 640 640wrhudsc 0 45 170 45

oh i guess its just the other sprite file, that works

[graceful parcel]

wow crown locker
moving up in the world

https://tenor.com/view/gordon-freeman-half-life-hl1-hev-suit-gif-4909611417620910300

but sv boy beat it too, along other people
he needs a locker with a gabu icon on it

[worldly bone]

please include a picture of my wife gabumon in it

[wooden hound]

probably but I got 0 experience with AS

[worldly bone]

one moment

i think the way it works is it just tries to look up the same script name as it is

@wooden hound do you want me to perhaps help? you were working on the pipe but i could help with the sprite

i think you just need to include weapon_bts_pipewrench and make the same reference as the og pipe

[slow monolith]

cual es la ip

la id

[wooden hound]

Files have been fixed on the download link

update is slowly being worked on. currently got alot going on in life atm. sorry for anybody inconvenienced

[wooden hound]

updated signage

[wooden hound]

Mapping edits on the upcoming build

Locker name changed and an additional locker has been created
SV BOY - testing and input along with fixing all of the weapons and doing the new pipewrench model
Grunt - testing and input along with providing scripts to stop deadchat

Doors to the stairwell in Area 4 now go UP

Blackop sequenecs have now been fixed, and will now respawn just like HECU as they werent a challenge

New signage around the map to help navigation along with Area codes for new players.. an additional new sign for the Area 5 'Office Complex' has been added

Maintenance level 2 also recieved some signage

Maintenance now has more of a purpose

besides starting with some armor and a toolbox with less space
Maintenance now gets the pipe wrench
its the new #2 melee weapon on the map and can't be found
the tool box (now called the Engineers Tool Case) takes up less room than the Toolbox, but can also be used to open the additional paths around the map, such as:

• the Area 1/2 Stairwell
• Ammo stash in maintenance level 2 at the area 4 side
• Ammo stash in maintenance level 2 at the area 2 side
  Additional armor was also given

[worldly bone]

any estimate when test?

[wooden hound]

its working atm, just doing a few changes to the credits and such

[wooden hound]

[graceful parcel]

damn

[wooden hound]

Map is compiling atm, will be fixed in the next 20 minutes

sorry everybody

[slate creek]

Oh Raptor you probably didn't see my msg I pmed you, I've sent the chat edit so it doesn't completely silence the dead player

[wooden hound]

Oh

[slate creek]

the current edit has my old deadchat script, I can send it here if you'd like

[wooden hound]

i'll get that added right now thanks

@slate creek thank you, that has now been updated

UPDATED AND FIXED

sorry to everybody who just got fucked by the cafeteria door

[wooden hound]

UPDATE REVERT

i need to hold off

i got too much shit on my plate atm

[wooden hound]

UPDATE FIX

I have finally managed to get this all together

• The Cafeteria door has been fixed
• Dead chat has hopefully been fixed

[worldly bone]

Just beaten it in punished black ops and they seem to spawn much more frequently, just at intended

forgot to send screenshots cuz i got locked in

[graceful parcel]

flabbergasted

rng giving me hellish backshots

Trying to beat it with Robos on, but so far I've only managed to get to the basement.

[worldly bone]

unreal

[graceful parcel]

I think I will give up beating Tortured solo with Robos on for the time being.
I do think it's possible, but near-perfect RNG is mandatory. A lot of things have to be in perfect place for it to work and I already tried many times even before the update.

The recent updates made Tortured even more difficult with enemies now spawning practically everywhere, all turrets being hostile from the beginning, and the vent shortcut to the armory being sealed (unless its a % chance to be open or closed), it really demands you to stop from time to time, which you can't really do knowing that eventually Robogrunts will activate and shred you to pieces.

Maybe I'll try with hecus

[tepid nymph]

It reminded me, this happened to me one day in HLDM, but i was quick to react and destroyed the snarks, and then chased the player who did this through whole map

[worldly bone]

i at some point got enough to get to the armory with 2 shotguns

got fucked by robot i think

[graceful parcel]

Yeah, it's possible to get there if you have enough hp and ap. But even with fully loaded shottys, you'll only manage to take maybe 2 robos. It's better to avoid them if possible.

I'm still not good enough to pull off the flare glitch on the kingpins.

[worldly bone]

@eager hazel

[wooden hound]

that is an international war crime

[tepid nymph]

Apparently people who i told this story to didn't believe it, apparently "you can't escape snarks if they were spawned inside you". Well, i did, and then punished the player who did this

[wooden hound]

HOTFIX

• Fixed HECU deciding you weren't allowed to go that way anymore
• Removed Deadchat (however, i'm keeping his credits on the map, fuck you thats why)

[worldly bone]

no gabumon in locker

please add my wife to your videogame map

[graceful parcel]

something like this

or inside the locker

or a gabu funko

[worldly bone]

ahahhahaha

[wooden hound]

Before i release this next hotfix, if any issues have been discovered - please let me know now rather than after it release

i'll wait a few hours just incase
but the next version fixes the Tortured Lockout glitch and has a few map tweaks

[graceful parcel]

Lockout glitch?

[wooden hound]

cant remember the exact order but if you did forces before the tortured vote - the doors would lock

[wooden hound]

If no other issues are reported, I'm going to go ahead with the next Hot fix

[worldly bone]

@wooden hound btw

is tortured having ammo cachces at warehouses intentional?

[wooden hound]

WELL

NOW ITS NOT

https://tenor.com/view/cool-fun-white-cat-dance-cool-and-fun-times-gif-16435335956387921912

To be honest, I never bothered to check since I already assumed it was going to be empty because of Tortured

The ammo will help but the challenge will be getting there

[worldly bone]

REAL

AMMO CACHE! LETS GO!

[wooden hound]

I may be mistaken, but on tortured, HECU, BLACKOPS, ZOMBIE and SPAWNS should still have the allocated ammo.. it would serve as a respite

[worldly bone]

yeah they do still drop ammo

torture is the manifesto of ammo management

you get plenty in punished but in torture you HAVE to use melee sometimes

[wooden hound]

Relaxed = lets see what this map is about
Storymode = okay lets go and try it for real
Medium = I want some difficulty, but with reduced ammo
Punished = Resident evil hard mode
Tortured = Silent Hill Hard mode

just so everybody knows

@eager hazel has the Canon experience going on

[worldly bone]

we just beaten tort again

with 2 cp's

but used none

actually no we used one

the guy isn't know he's literally dead

also, found a bug with HEV recharger

also, keycard sprite isn't disappeared after I picked up it
all this shit in non-survival version, dunno about regular one

oh, also another one doesn't know he's dead, lmao

[wooden hound]

I wont lie

the bts_rc_ns version was made for (survival is boring) people, but its not really been updated - its actually been sort of left with gltiches and stuff on purpose as its technically set 'prior' to the actual simulation.. it does have different dialog and asks you to report glitches you see in the story

the person that wanted the non survival mode then didn't even want it once it was actually made, so it was a bit of a waste

[torpid grove]

can understand then

[wooden hound]

[graceful parcel]

Oh, okay.
Sorry, I was just venting, didn't mean anything bad.
It's just that I had a good thing going but the door decided to close almost immediately after opening it and made me ragequit lol

[graceful parcel]

Slowly getting a bit better. I somewhat got the Office area down. I believe I can do it.

[graceful parcel]

Also, probably better to bring back the small window here so you can bait the headcrab, or just make the door open the other way.
It refused to move and couldn't open the door.

[wooden hound]

we got a WISE GUY here

that was removed because motherfuckers killed the king pin

you can't fool me

i'll make it so the enemies react to you in the room, however

[worldly bone]

GABUMOOOOOOOON LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[graceful parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/half-life-g-man-yay-gif-6048964120336835592

[graceful parcel]

Punished and tortured are now hell?

I wanna be the guy difficulty

Tortured plus operative

[wooden hound]

quick explaination before i leave
there is a gear known as the tutorial gear - it's placed right next to the gearbox sign to literally push the player towards the bridge and gearbox puzzle. This is redundant more or less on medium and onwards.

For Punished and Tortured now, the Gear is now moved between two locations.
Chemical Lab - requiring you to have a scientist keycard and be able to tank some radiation damage.
Turbine Lab - requiring you to do the retina component repair.
The scientist cards have been moved as a consequence. there is now a research card available in the Security side of the map, and one available at the Dormitories side of the map - progression is required to get these keycards now and each comes with its own obstacle

Operative however, is now fun and adds some more replayability

this update will be pushed out tomorrow

[graceful parcel]

"You now have to get the retina for the valve in tortured".

[wooden hound]

sorry

that is a typo

I ment Gear

The Retina component and Chemical lab were otherwise useless locations on tortured, this promotes the entire map now being used

[graceful parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/thousand-yard-stare-shock-gif-10338346859390768900

Wait

Is there any sign that indicates where it will spawn?

Or is it like the valve and admin key?

[wooden hound]

valve and admin key

[graceful parcel]

Damn

[wooden hound]

however, probably a little more forgiving

i placed them within eyesight of a window

so you can more or less quickly glance and see if its in either sde

so instead of having to do the entire retina puzzle - you can look through the door and see if its there or not

i'm not entirely evil

yet

anyway - i'll have this out tomorrow

this is the new tortured end theme

its now Sven co-op based

[graceful parcel]

Then I'll try to beat this version before the next one releases

This is truly the svev poop map of all times

[graceful parcel]

For some reason it gave me metroid vibes

Pretty cool

[worldly bone]

@wooden hound tortured robotics beaten by 4-5 people

half of the game was just me soloing it

may i suggest robotics buff if blacks ops were buffed

add like 2 rpg robots and make all sentries be active and aggressive regardless if they were activated or not

one rpg in the basement bridge to where elevator end is, and maybe one in warehouse middle between connecting two areas

obv pun/tort so it's only for the sweats

[graceful parcel]

RPG Robo sounds fun

You can try doing a solo run

Tried my hardest, but couldn't do it. Always get stuck at 3 gears and always some bs enemy spawning in the most horrible places, like 2 snarknests in cafeteria or a respawning A. Grunt in the most annoying spots.

Maybe luck will change with this update.

Most likely very late to ask, but I don't know if it's possible to make it so the doors in the cafeteria are transparent, that way you can see what monster is in the room.
This is mostly me being salty though.

[tepid nymph]

Hey, i just thought, if M4 has an ironsight alt-fire, why not take model from Counter-Strike Beta?

[wooden hound]

its culled of just about all copyright materials with the exception of the AI voice and music so it can be made official when required

[wooden hound]

Released V4.00

http://scmapdb.wikidot.com/map:blackmesa-training-simulation:resonance-cascade

• New Robogrunt variant added
• New Robogrunt sounds for Variant
• Sentries changed in Area 4
• Sentries changed for Robogrunts
• Textures in Labs changed
• Geometry in area 2 and area 4 altered
• Textures in Security Vista changed
• Security Level 3 Respawn fixed
• Wooden crates changed to Wood (Thanks Sneaky)
• Wooden crate for robogrunts changed from Glass to Wood
• HECU Spawns moved to avoid rappelling hecu sentries
• Blackops given Ambush scenario
• Credits adjusted
• Vent to armoury is now a maintenance toolcase objective
• Double doors to cafeteria fixed (thanks crime)
• Kitchen door now pushes instead of pulls in cafeteria (thanks big boi)
• Yard managers officer is now a push instead of pull
• additional loot spots added in the map
• Tortured end theme changed
• Double doors in basement fixed
• Ammo caches altered for Tortured

// Notable changes:

• Operative will now select random classes, this may seem arcade like. However, it is pretty fun and works pretty well with the map. Thanks SV BOY
• Punished and Tortured has been changed. The Tutorial Gear (the first gear next to the bridge) will now be moved. it now has a 50/50 chance between Chemical lab and the Turbine lab
  Chemical lab: you will need to find a research card and tank some damage to get the gear
  Turbine lab: you will need the retina component, research card and a toolbox.
  because the research cards were only located in A-106 and B-201: the cards have been moved to locations that require progression to be obtained to avoid soft locking. there is a keycard in each section of the map (1 in Dorms/Warehouse - 1 in Security/Administration)

@worldly bone have fun

[worldly bone]

lets GOOOOOO

@eager hazel

also might update this robotics thing

[graceful parcel]

Damn, Operative can start with anything.

Reminds me of Eden from Binding of Isaac

[worldly bone]

yeah pretty much the idea

[graceful parcel]

Very neat idea

gabu in locker

[graceful parcel]

Didn't have much time but played a couple of rounds with notarget on, just to see the changes.
With the additional objectives and turrets turning on when Robos activate, Tortured just became incredibly more difficult, which I personally enjoy.
Obviously, this is from solo player pov, since some obstacles can be ignored with a team and good teamwork (medic doesn't need to look for Dorm cards).

Also, yeah, you are right, there is gambling now since some Operative loadouts are better than others.
Makes me wonder how many there are.

[worldly bone]

30

tortured is actually pretty easy right now as hecu/black ops ammo caches and other ammo caches make you flow on ammo

[wooden hound]

So - due to an oversight on my part and failing to understand that ammo caches to the playerbase wasn't just the checkpoint locations.. and it was actually the HECU locations aswell.
The Ammo system has been more or less returned to what tortured previously was. with the exception of the new ammo system.
HECU will no longer drop ammo caches around the map
HECU and Blackops only drop weapons now
Ammo will be available in the - Respawn containers when no checkpoints are used and the Maintenance case doors in the basement.
Tortured was beaten at a record rate since it was just released, and it got beaten. To return tortured to its suffering glory. It has been given *** additional consequences.***
These will not be disclosed.

[wooden siren]

get fucked

i mean

good luck

[graceful parcel]

Damn. Then I'm actually bad at the game.
I don't deserve the scratch marks and crown on my locker.

[wooden siren]

SPAS-12 double shot sound is a music to my ears

[graceful parcel]

Although I guess each military group has their pros and cons.
Hecus/Blops vulnerable to headshots but come in groups, plus the engineer and fem assasin have god tier accuracy.
Robos on the other hand don't respawn but are tankier and don't flinch.

[graceful parcel]

That deserves another gabu funko.

[wooden hound]

Next update coming out : V4.CO: Consequences Update

It will be released tomorrow after some more testing.

[ebon citrus]

oooh interesting

i haven't played in a while but there's probably a bunch of things different since i've last played on this map

especially after reading "new robogrunt variant"

i'll probably wait until the consequence update comes out before getting on the s/v/en co-op server tho

[graceful parcel]

You have to wait a few seconds after choosing the difficulty to be able to press this button.

[worldly bone]

i think its intentional? @wooden hound

[wooden hound]

So that was the torture lockout issue
Long story short: always look for the most simplistic method first to see if it works.. i had duplicated entities to perform if the the intro had been skipped or not, it was about 48 in total.. now reduced to 14.. because all i had to do was lock a door. the torture lock was a consequence of the new system compared to the old one.. the old one was pretty much a 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BUTTONS' approach - which Sniper highlighted that it would be an issue, which he actually was right about. however - the slight oversight with the new system was that when you selected forces before difficulty - it would lock you out of the room.

So now you need to go Difficulty > Forces > Play

[graceful parcel]

Ah okay. To be honest i thought it had to do with an exploit.

[wooden hound]

Update Released - V4.C0 - Consequences

• Added Additional dialog for HECU
• Added Additional event for HECU
• Added Additional event for Blackops
• Added Dialog for Blackops
• Added Dialog for Robogrunts
• Fixed Robogrunt event
• Added additional event for Security

[worldly bone]

@eager hazel honey

[bitter needle]

The tort-pain never ends, only gets intensified.
Btw, the funny rare bug in HEV room was partially adressed?

[worldly bone]

hotfix incoming

[worldly bone]

felt more like tortured because most hecu encounters were skipped due to probably beating this in only just 46 minutes

millitary spawned in at 9 minute mark

this is the most funniest death ive seen in a while

[graceful parcel]

what was that at the end lol

[graceful parcel]

That's one of the default death animations, right?

Although I was referring to this

[worldly bone]

yeah thats a default death anim

[graceful parcel]

Looks like ragdoll

[worldly bone]

AFAIK

he spinned his mouse during the death so it looks janky

[graceful parcel]

Oh alright
It's still very funny regardless

I'm very amazed how you and your group managed to beat it very fast

[worldly bone]

its die_backwards with very funny controller setup

[worldly bone]

if it helps:

• sci's drop medkits to guards
• med stations are your best friend, as they recharge
• conserve as much ammo as you can unless you have to shoot
• we had shock roach boost my armor at the start
• garg, kp, and other shit are ignored, never wasting a bullet o them

lots of cooperation

we were also incredibly lucky to not encounter any grunt\s

[graceful parcel]

I suffer from social anxiety and that's why i play solo most of the time

and because of the self imposed challenge

[worldly bone]

beating it solo is definitel a of a challenge

[graceful parcel]

It's possible

[worldly bone]

actually got gibbed in the game but we used a checkpoint

[graceful parcel]

I couldn't find that one gif of an entity bitchslapping a player. The video you posted reminded me of that.

[worldly bone]

funniest shit

[graceful parcel]

HEV zombies went from nothing to big armor eaters

[worldly bone]

also almost died to him

[graceful parcel]

They hit so hard, especially that instant swipe that can one hit you

long zombie

Once they fix the cheese strat for the Gonome, it might become a bigger threat

[worldly bone]

lot of the times i pretty much carry?

yeah

you can somewhat kite pit drones

[graceful parcel]

Pit drones are not as difficult as version 1

[worldly bone]

theyre probably the most trickiest to melee, besides houndeyes

you kinda spin in circles with them

houndeyes is just hit and run

until theyre low enuff

[graceful parcel]

It's kind of tricky, but you can force them to melee in sets of 2 hits and then back off

repeat 3-4 times before they shoot a spike

[worldly bone]

also made the gif cuz its such a funny death anim

[graceful parcel]

if they run out of spikes, they will run away until they are far away enough from you and then recharge

so if you chase them, they'll never stop running

and never recharge the spikes

The only funny death I had recently was the robo exploding out of nowhere for no reason

and the explosion going through the wall

[worldly bone]

a good operative roll can help a ton but i think for tortured its better to stick with normal classes cuz you'd be getting screwed or out of bullets

[graceful parcel]

Actually, I kept gambling for good loadouts but most are just single item loadouts

[worldly bone]

a good roll is actually deagle + glock ngl

since you never find any pistols in tortured

theres a shotgun one but the ammo is scarce and also 15% cans

i think operative is balanced

[graceful parcel]

The more useful loadouts I got were Dual Wield and Knife w/ Pistol

[worldly bone]

dont like how the text gets overriden

when you pick the class the class text gets overriden unless you join late

[graceful parcel]

Oh yeah, you have to wait a good while for that not to happen

[worldly bone]

theres a 99% gamblers quit one which is technically the best one as you start with a 12 shotgun shells and mossberg

[graceful parcel]

Unless it comes with full ammo, then it's kind of samey as the deagle

[worldly bone]

essentially yeah

[graceful parcel]

I guess the only good thing solo tort taught was how to use melees and learn how to approach enemies

A. Grunts can be stunned if you hit them in the face with pipe, knife or axe

[worldly bone]

ngl best one to roll for tort is either

[graceful parcel]

Even Shocktroopers can be melee'd, but it takes a long time and usually not worth it

[worldly bone]

tax evasion or dual wield

[graceful parcel]

what is tax evasion

[worldly bone]

its basically taxless guard

50 armor

berreta with 3 clips gurantreed

well its not 50 armor but its 40-50

[graceful parcel]

My favorite part is when I get a gun with 1 bullet

I think right now Maint gets more armor than guard

[worldly bone]

naw

maint gets about 25~ ish armor

guard gets 30-35~

[graceful parcel]

That's weird, I remember getting 35 and with guard kept getting 30 or less

Maybe I remember it wrong

[worldly bone]

mm

[graceful parcel]

The wrench is kind of meh at best

[worldly bone]

maint gets 3 helmets which is

a helmet gives from 7 up to 10 armor

minimum 21 maximum 30

guard gets 1 helmet and a vest
7-10
20-30

minimum 27 maximum 40

[graceful parcel]

Might have just been me imagining things then

[worldly bone]

also suprisingly 2 vests is on average 25 lol

[graceful parcel]

Hopefull I can grind some more this weekend

[worldly bone]

so unlucky is 40 and lucky is 60, even though you cant go above 50

[graceful parcel]

Still, Guard is probably better choice for me since it's the only one with a gun

With Hecus and Blops now dropping weapons, maybe the other roles might have a chance

But I will continue to try Tort Robotics since it's supposed to be the toughest enemy.

However, If I ever beat it, I might try Hecu or Blops.
I'm more afraid of the former because of the Engy being able to headshot.

[worldly bone]

they already dropped supplies but them dropping ammo is unintentional

it should be just a weapon

[graceful parcel]

Ah

[worldly bone]

well

[graceful parcel]

Probably fixed in next small update

[worldly bone]

at least in 4.0

[graceful parcel]

maybe

[worldly bone]

it was made so that they no longer drop ammo supplies

just weapon

[graceful parcel]

V4.C0?

New difficulty with the awp bodyguards

[wooden hound]

the ammp supplies being dropped wasnt supposed to happen, a fix will be made later

[wooden hound]

going to look at what went wrong with the ammo situation in tortured

[wooden hound]

Upcoming Hotfix

• Elevator skip fixed
• Tortured settings being fixed
  / Shocktrooper roach no longer dropped
  / Military no come in at the desired time
  / Military will no longer drop supplies - forgot to wire it up

good bye blue gokiburi

"Elevator Skip" makes it sound like you could skip the basement

Elevator shaft?

[wooden hound]

those bitches

apparently you can hit the red buttons through the wall

i couldnt do it personally

skill issue

[graceful parcel]

oh lol

never occurred to me

buttons are pretty far too so i wonder if it has to be from a weird angle

[wooden hound]

well

you know what i think about that @graceful parcel !?!

[worldly bone]

the torture shall... fuck all of us... the grand suffering of torture is back..

[graceful parcel]

i don't think i can do it if they activate this freaking early

[worldly bone]

tortured millitary insertion is now 3 minutes instead of 10 it seems

[wooden siren]

flash your way boy

[wooden hound]

should have paid those bills instead of donuts BOI

[wooden hound]

The Next Update wont really change anything, its just a slight bug fix for various entities and stuff that I believe should be fixed..

I am no longer altering the difficulty of Tortured, I think everybody will agree that the restoration of tortured is hard enough.

That being said, the following fixes are going to be made and I'll explain what they are and why:

• The Valve skip will be fixed. This is when you have houndeyes (or anything capable of penetrating through walls) break the lock on the floor covers.. allowing you to completely by pass valve and A-101.. This is makes the valve useless.

• Scripted Sequence for Barney: the sequence was broken and pointed out by SV BOY.. however when i fixed it, i rushed it.. so its facing the wrong way and opens the wrong door lol.. more for the singleplayer experience that one

• Tort Sentries: Some tort sentries were friendliy this wasn't supposed to be the case. These have been fixed. Because this is a sudden change & only appear on tortured, the locations are:
  Tram Security,
  Steam Corridor,
  Armoury.

• Keycard Processing Window: you can go ahead and look at this on the current map if needed, the sequence is there, however lacks the 'over-ride AI' flag, instead of the 'no-interruptions'.. because the window now distracts grunts and can be used, they will attempt to smash it. however you can kill them to prevent it to keep the strat going.

• Doors in Warehouse 1/3 have been adjusted to be wider to promote navigation for AI's, all green doors have been converted to models aswell to help with limits.

• Military Insertion for Tortured: Adjusted slightly as its tooo quick imo

• Moved the spawn location in Warehouse 2, monsters were stuck in crates

• Powerboxes turned to Models

• Missing textures on doors

• Windows being abit too bright in the dark

[wooden hound]

additional dialog added for grunts to hint towards their actions

[worldly bone]

oh shit

[graceful parcel]

the voice reminds me of this

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xf8T7cVW6zA

[worldly bone]

horror

[wooden hound]

The next update is currently just waiting on something being created, it'll be released once its finished. At the moment the current things are being worked on:

• Flashlight having infinite battery fixed
• Dialog to hint at NPC activities
• general fixtures around the map such as details and door speeds

However, I would like to do a poll regarding weapons, please answer below:

[worldly bone]

fuck... i dont even know what to nerf or buff considering how all weapons seem to work well together

probably the most underwhelming weapon would be the flaregun, its not a weapon but even flares do damage, signifcant one sometmes

id love to see glock18 at least in one operative loadout as finding it is incredibly rare and at least having one operative loadout wouldnt hurt but thats imo

also TIL: python deals more damage

deag

python

i think id buff python maybe a bit just to have more impact for each shot?

maybe up to 70

[wooden hound]

WIP

• batteries being spawned on tortured
  No HEV is available on tortured, so the item is useless

If you know of any issues, please let me know!

[worldly bone]

feedback from sbmesh
@wooden hound which ones exactly, just wondering

[wooden hound]

fixing the generator restores power to the facility

I think it was either Falco or Trax that suggested it

pretty solid suggestion imo

[worldly bone]

yea

wait when update

[wooden hound]

It'll be updated when Gauna has finished a model for me, and possibly tex/four-nines finishing a model, the M4 / M4SD will hopefully be replaced with the Colt from the Gearbox HD packs to finally be LD

this update will bake

how he got up there

[wooden hound]

new enemy

jetpack garg

[graceful parcel]

He didn't like that I was looking so he tried to kill me

Didn't succeed. Unfortunately, the HW Robo around the corner did

[wooden hound]

lol

the hw robo is a bastard

[graceful parcel]

I kept trying to lure it into this area, but it just refused to come out

[graceful parcel]

wtf

I wasn't expecting HECUS on my tortured run

tortured robo run

[worldly bone]

they lost directions

is it the basement ones

[graceful parcel]

yeah

the audio that plays startled me and just stood there because i really wasn't expecting for marines to come out of that room

[worldly bone]

they need that engineer after all!

[graceful parcel]

i keep forgetting about this stupid vent barnacle

[wooden hound]

this area has been altered in the new version to avoid this
SV BOY pointed out that the ventilation barnacle only renders once you're in a certain spot.. this has been changed to promtoe a wider view of range

3 locations have been altered on the latest version..

• the Truck Loading bay
• The Yard managers office vent
• The Warehouse tunnels

Truck loading bay now has high enough cover to hide behind from hecu, it also has an additional walk way for detail along with an additional crate for loot and a shelf. the elevator area is alot more wider to have more of a black mesa feel, the black ops can now breach that location and now have a 'truck spawn' - the truck will now be black for blackops and green for hecu. Aswell as the Blackops truck, there is now a random chance for the vehicles in that area to change. The Truck Bays may both be blocked by Trucks, or both be unblocked. The Car with the doors open may also be a Truck aswell. This is just to add variation to the map.

The Yard managers office vent has been altered to promote more of a view, players will probably enjoy this change as it allows you alot more breathing space compared to the narrow corridor before..

The Warehouse tunnels (that has the turret controlled by the powerbox) now has a little extra detail.. thats really it for that

Most notable changes apply to:
5.56 buffed
Mp5 is no longer useless
Mossberg is now slightly faster
Spas-12 slightly slower
Glock 17 Slightly modified
Pipewrench and Pipe now have stopping power for Houndeyes

[graceful parcel]

that piece of sheit keeps softlocking me by blocking the door

if i dont find a flare to get rid of it, im screwed

even worse when a pitdrone spawns near it
they keep baiting each other nonstop

[graceful parcel]

Even though I haven't played the map with the other enemies, I can at least appreciate the effort it was put into them.
One of the things I consider to be very nice detail is that there are audio cues for almost every situation. HECU and Robotics have them too, but to be honest I've only managed to hear one from Robos. However, the fact that they are there already shows dedication.

Hopefully Black Ops get some too. The only audio they have is from the blackout event.
It's not a problem if they don't get more, since I guess they are supposed to be secretive.

"Pipewrench and Pipe now have stopping power for Houndeyes"
I can't give my opinion on the Pipewrench, but I thought the Pipe always had stopping power

If you hit them just as they start preparing their blast, you can manage to make them jump back.

The only 2 weapons that can't do that are the Flashlight and Screwdriver.

[wooden hound]

I didn't know that was a thing, thats now fixed

[wooden hound]

Noticable locations that have had Geometry changes or Lighting Changes

[graceful parcel]

i didnt know the location of the basement kingpin was changed

https://tenor.com/view/disintegrating-funny-thanos-gif-22399978

[worldly bone]

have fun!

[graceful parcel]

I don't know if it was mentioned, but if possible, make this door so enemies can't see through it

the moment I open this door, i will meet my demise

[wooden hound]

Yeah i don't know why thats happening with those doors

i'll check it out

[graceful parcel]

run ended by door

it decided to close after being opened

[wooden hound]

i'll make sure it doesnt reset

[graceful parcel]

Sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining.
Just posting stuff from runs because I thought they were funny

[wooden hound]

no its funny

nothing like getting caught on a door and a garg is waiting to literally cook you

[wooden hound]

The tram can now be repaired - power box will become destroyed, being the source of the malfunction. Once repaired. the Tram will immediately depart to stay on schedule. This requires a Engineers Toolbox, only available with the maintenance class

[worldly bone]

you think it should only be repairable only with maint nearby?

also the robotics seems to be the hardest force now, good

[wooden hound]

do you think it should just require a toolbox rather than a maint?

[worldly bone]

fuck them secs make it maint

like if theres a maint nearby they can travel train 1 time, and do it again as long as maint is close

no toolbox - no ride!

[wooden hound]

oh the toolbox just makes the train system go back to the every 3 minutes

[worldly bone]

well that works too

thought just making it temporarty would encourage keeping that maiint guy either be the tram captain, more coop

[graceful parcel]

I think keeping it Maint Only helps emphasize his role as the guy with the right tools for the job.
Honestly, I wish other could fix it as well, but I feel it's better to keep it that way to maintain the cooperative aspect of the map.

[wooden hound]

Regarding the Tram Repair:
The Tram will now require to be repaired often.. the counters are no longer deleted and will require maint players to repair it when it does break down. The Amount of stops for the tram to breakdown has been decreased to make this feature playable, this will be more noticable in punished/tortured, but higher than the current amount on the current build

[worldly bone]

also @wooden hound why not turn resonance.wav and sewer.wav into .ogg files?

was the barney door thing fxied

[wooden hound]

I'll change them to .ogg's i remmember sneaky telling me to do it, may aswell do it while waiting on the models

[wooden hound]

what barney thing

[worldly bone]

when you dont have sec card so you use the barney thats in the gates

fucker doesnt even face the button when doing that

[wooden hound]

oh yes thats fixed

[worldly bone]

but at least it works

[wooden hound]

theres alot of stuff fixed on this next version

three main ones i seen from yesterday

• Blackout takes longer
• Tram now repairable but lasts longer on tort
• Shutter in basement, npcs can't see through it

only issue atm is the VR room

[worldly bone]

i forgot to add fullbright+addiitive to the hev hands

whoops

to uzi spessifcally

[wooden hound]

gg

[worldly bone]

unreal

[round charm]

the elevator door behave like a toogle so if you have the door closed and push the buton to go another level it will open the door

[wooden hound]

best system i can come up with atm since its a relative teleport. probably a better method but it works atm

[wooden hound]

that crate is fixed

[round charm]

he do the beep but he don't open the door

[wooden hound]

fixed in the next version, waiting on a shotgun remodel atm before releasing

[wooden hound]

full changelog will be posted

[wooden hound]

@round charm feel free to keep firing in bugs, because its a good reference for the next version - a good few have been fixed in this next version, along with some lighting issues and sequence issues

even if its a really minute thing, fire it in

[graceful parcel]

I never bothered to check, but does kingpin still has its shield when taking damage?

[wooden hound]

If i could remove that shield

i wwould

[round charm]

it think the difficulty should be more progressive

[worldly bone]

well it kinda is

every problem is like a new difficult thing you have to think and overcome

[round charm]

being spawkilled by a gonome and a pitdrone is not very progressive

it's not very realistic that you encounter an enemy in a late stage of mutation 1st second of RC

gonome and pitdrone should spawn along hecu arrival

[bitter needle]

Only enables it when it targets an enemy, only way for it to turn off is the enemy to die/player to suicide and be revived away of kingpin's POV

[worldly bone]

you know you could make a strat out of that now that i think about it

if the team has a medic

[graceful parcel]

I see. Unfortunately for me it's not that useful, but it's still a nice piece of knowledge for coop runs.

[wooden hound]

Well.. storymode when bts_rc2 eventually gets made.. the military along with gonomes and racex will start to make an appearance. the difficulties from Relaxed onwards are 'Difficulties' only and strictly not 'Canon'

its literally only there for replayability, the spawnkilling.. although its not fun, is the consequence of the RNG, you could still get killed by 4x houndeyes, slaves or if you're really unlucky, a agrunt

[wooden hound]

without getting tooooo much into it.. because it may never happen..
Bts_rc Storymode, the HECU are actually allied, and thats the ending you get.. so by the time HECU arrive, you might see A gonome or two.. but nothing ridiculous..

with the other difficulties, it was going to be basically hell on earth and a different ending, but thats for another time

[wooden hound]

upcoming update

• Clip optimisation
• Various geometry fixes
• Various Lighting repairs
• Music files converted to .OGG

[zinc lake]

This is probably the most updated map on Sven history, congrats Raptor

[wooden hound]

Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing, the things took over every project i have 😂

[graceful parcel]

It shows a lot of dedication and effort.
I'm sure it reflects in other projects of yours.

[round charm]

how player joining after the start pick a class?

[wooden hound]

if players are spawned before the game starts, they can still choose a class.
If players join and have to spectate, they get given a random class when given a weapon

[round charm]

suboptimal

[wooden hound]

🤷‍♂️
best way to handle it, more or less people who join are made 'no-class'
better being able to play than not at all

[round charm]

what about making no class player spawn in lobby

[wooden hound]

its survival

[round charm]

spawn in loby when a checkpoint is reached

or spawn in lobby then unalive them they pick a class

[worldly bone]

nawww

reach a checkpoint - disconnect, drop all your things, let your friend touch it, free ammo, armor and gun

spawning with nothing is fine as long as someone who reached cp could share their other gun or at the very least a melee weapon

[round charm]

yeah, like that happen

[graceful parcel]

People made a human tower to skip half of the map. I wouldn't put it past them to do something like that.

[wooden hound]

from what I've seen testing with friends, and having two totally different communties that i had nothing to do with prior to the map:

the map really does make people work together, share weapons and ammo.. iv even seen videos of people sacraficing themselves to trap and enemy while the others make a run for it. we're talking to different types of commumities aswell, one has buymenu and they still share weapons when needed.

i did have the same concerns before it all.. but 90% of people with common sense will realise they dont need to have all the weapons. like on the map theres:

• Glock 17

• Glock 17 SD

• Glock 17 flashlight

• Beretta

• Glock 18

• Uzi

• Uzi SD

• 357

• Desert eagle

• Mp5

• Mp5 GL

• M4

• M4 Sd

• m16

• mossberg 590

• spas 12

• m79

• m249

• screwdriver

• crowbar (red, yellow and blue)

• knife

• pipewrench

• pipe

• poolcue

if you play with a player that has all of that and doesnt want to share, they will 100% loose the map

[worldly bone]

one thing i wish sven would let you control is ammo sharing

sven automatically just cuts your ammo in half which doesn't sound that bad until you realize you're giving an mp5 to a scientist

scientist at best is good with a shotgun which is more fair

[wooden hound]

like an expansion of the Inventory system, it could have an Ammuniton tab to the right hand side and you could use a slider or even choose from preset numbers

[round charm]

rust have a system to convert ammo reserve to ammo as item

[wooden hound]

Upcoming 4.90

[wooden hound]

I can fix the Entdata no problem, its the nodes atm lol

Vertexes are managable aswell

[worldly bone]

@eager hazel did u update it

[eager hazel]

Yes 🙂

[worldly bone]

aw i guess it needs restart

[eager hazel]

Ye everyone is afk at the moment

[worldly bone]

did they all left their pc on last night

[eager hazel]

No but some of them haven't slept yet 😉

[worldly bone]

the bts_rc autism is real

i keep getting bsp mismatch despite deleting the bsp from all my folderws

[wooden hound]

i'm just updating bts_rc_ns while we wait to see if they all return lmao

[wooden hound]

Following is the new models introduced to BTS_RC by TEXHAPb!!!

Mossberg 590

New M4 model

[wooden hound]

Taking a break from updating the map
post bugs below.
Thank you

[graceful parcel]

This shotty for some reason feels more powerful and accurate.

Maybe it's the sound effect.

[sonic crown]

I want both of these guns with Shepard hands, right now

[crude mauve]

Intro room crashes for me after the vote, both on my normal install and on a completely fresh install of sven, even on a dedicated server

Intro plays normally if I noclip inside though

[crude mauve]

it worked a couple times and i have no idea why! i can't get it to work again!

[crude mauve]

well, either I've had a series like 7 baffling flukes in a row, or changing to third person and back after entering the map makes monitors not crash for some reason

[crude mauve]

my only guess is that it's something relating to this change in sven 5.26 on certain hardware configurations, but i have absolutely no idea. entering third person has fixed the crash for me 100% of the time so far, across multiple hardware configs which were previously crashing

another computer i tried didn't crash at all, so...

[wooden hound]

this is a common error that crops up every now and then, let me just do some testing with it to rule it out..
Is it the Intro Video inparticular or the entire map with all cameras

[crude mauve]

Dunno yet. I was gonna play more but I spent 2 hours figuring this out and now it's 2 am lmfao

I'll check tomorrow, sorry, I should be conking off

[wooden hound]

jesus sorry man

i have some 'hacks' but i'll make sure its not map side first

[crude mauve]

NO lol it's not your bad, i just really wanted to figure out why it was crashing

my guess is that the player's model isn't getting initialized for some reason but idk why

[wooden hound]

yeah i get the feeling, the entirty of december and january, it was crashing for me and i was loosing my mind lol

well that used to be the issue originally, but i thought that was fixed
are you using any ins2 addons?

[crude mauve]

thought so at first too, but i replicated it on a completely fresh install of sven

on a different computer

[wooden hound]

hm

must be map side, i never experienced it but doesnt rule it out entirely

[crude mauve]

it might be at least partially sven-side/hardware-side

speaking of

[wooden hound]

I remember replacing a model and sven freaked out - i'll mmake sure i haven't done it again lol

we played last night though and i never seen anything, weird

[crude mauve]

i don't actually use intel software, unfortunately

hardware, sorry

2 am

i've got an AMD processor

so i don't believe it's specifically related to intel

oh wait, you said that like 4 months ago i thought you brought it up again, jesus, okay, I guess I should REALLY head off before i really put my foot in my mouth

good luck, g'night

[wooden hound]

Lmao no your fine mate

trust me, i understand the pain - i'll go through this and double check its not map side

ask around incase it is actually crashing

i'mm just booting sven up the now, but yeah, get some sleep!

[wooden hound]

GG

its not just him

[wooden hound]

i managed to fix it

first try gg

[worldly bone]

LOL

[graceful parcel]

No one was noticing his dance moves so he got mad

[worldly bone]

doing hecu solo tort

[graceful parcel]

Excellent

[worldly bone]

for whatever reason VGUI shit slows my sven down

as in frame drops

[graceful parcel]

I don't use anything and even then, sometimes I get choppy frames for some reason

[wooden hound]

my god man

https://tenor.com/view/slap-slapping-hit-funny-gif-13764625

Shocktrooper ^^^

[wooden siren]

if bts_rc2 happened

i will add new weapons

[wooden hound]

i will work hard on optimising the map, i believe its enemy count. i need to do a more slower release over time i believe

Upcoming Geometry changes

[wooden siren]

ok this one is fantastic

i love light under the desk type of setting

im a weirdo but i feel comfy when i see it

[wooden hound]

Nice spot lol

[wooden siren]

boss are you ok

[worldly bone]

i thibk he was cleaning keyboard

[wooden siren]

oh

[wooden hound]

no

my kids got the laptop

[wooden siren]

oh haha

[worldly bone]

you are kidding me

[wooden hound]

hahahahhahaa no fuckin way

you shot himm in the dick

thats a kill shot atleast

[worldly bone]

rock and a hard stone

i thought the "alien alert" they noticed a monster but it was me

@wooden hound

five nights at black mesa

[wooden hound]

oh god

he blew up

[worldly bone]

best tort hecu solo attempt is 45 minutes with 1 gear placed

its possible its just that theres no counter play for vents > dorms flooded with hecu's as theres 1 chokepoint but if im fast and lucky enough where insertion doesnt happen neither in dorms or warehouse, perhaps...

[round charm]

has anyone tried... blackops as force?

[worldly bone]

i havent yet tbh, not even on punished

[round charm]

do you prefere being relaxed, punished or tortured?

[worldly bone]

punished is my go-to whenever i dont seek challenge

punished and tortured are vastly different

[graceful parcel]

Kingpin is the monster of all time
Does it have unlimited range?

If it weren't for that shield, it would die from a full mag

[tepid nymph]

Yeah, Kingpin's shield is dogshit TBH, it needs a complete rework

[wooden hound]

I was going to get somebody to do a custom kingpin without the shield for the map

would mean that there would be 1 true kingpin and the others would be AS

[wooden hound]

Before

After

[worldly bone]

smooth

[wooden hound]

Sledge: it was a map issue, the Intro camera was crashing the map. I have been working on it today and its pretty much been resolved after the first edit, but I'll release it with the next update once i've touched up a few areas on the map.
hotfix will be released at somepoint this week, I have alot going on ths week regardng kids and hospital appointments with the wife. but it should be out soon.

[graceful parcel]

I think it's a good QoL change. Gives more space to dodge enemies like Gonomes, and also improves admin key visibility.

[crude mauve]

got it! it turned out the computer that did work was actually because of hitting third person, I just didn't think of it at the time

[bitter needle]

I remember kingpin hitting me across nearly 4096 units (in other map), so yes..trash NPC, if the beams would deal less damage depending of the distance...

[worldly bone]

when im on unfun npc competition and my opponent is kingpin

[wooden hound]

even if they added a little

half a second reaction to that beam

[wooden hound]

Due to popular demand

Otis is now in the map

map is currently compiling

[round charm]

his mom gonna get worried

[wooden hound]

he was supposed to play bridge that night

[bitter needle]

Torch vs Otis time

[worldly bone]

omg can Otis be in tortured

[graceful parcel]

Otis already lends you his body and power in Tort

[wooden hound]

couple of variants for the map

Release for the new one will either be tomorrow at somepoint

ended up redoing a few things

[wooden siren]

carry hard for sven

[round charm]

what is the model use for maintnance?

[graceful parcel]

Science team got budget cut and can only afford 2 boards this time 😔

[round charm]

sometime there are no checkpoints on the map

[wooden hound]

thats strange, has it been voted

what difficulty

[round charm]

tortured

[wooden hound]

Red Cargo Containers have 2 checkpoints inside them, there is one in the warehouse with the retina component and 1 in the warehouse with the gear at the security/administration side of the map

unless you voted for no checkpoints

[round charm]

look like they are invisible and reapear sometime

[wooden hound]

i've never heard or seen this issue

tortured explicity only has two checkpoints available if selected, otherwise its 0

[round charm]

I got electrocuted in the tunnel when there were no electricity

[wooden hound]

what version are you playin

what tunnel

[round charm]

the underway near domotory

[wooden hound]

are you playing bts_rc_ns?

[round charm]

no

I probably run and old version

[wooden hound]

i'm just trying to figure out the scenario - is this directly after the cafeteria?

or when the 'supplies' become available

its on 4.90A or something

[bitter needle]

Just HAD to share this

[worldly bone]

[wooden hound]

Road map currently:
The map is about to get a release extending some locations and adding some detail.. provides more atmosphere for the map and such. The Gargantua is now available on Punished, and it has been altered slightly due to complaints regarding it.

This is the second last version to be released: the next version - which will be 4.90B will have all these features, listed above
5.0 will have a new model for the hw robogrunt and any other fix detected to in 4.90B.

The RMF will be released and I will no longer actively update the map. any changes can be done by the community.

Thank you.

[round charm]

how old is 2.0E?

3 month?

welle that's what the mision briefing say, has it been updated

[wooden hound]

yes

[round charm]

look like the mission brefing still say 2.0 even if it's 4.9

[wooden hound]

updated that so the next one doesn't say 2.0

by the way, does this update remove hev batteries from the drop pool?

I haven't updated yet, but I remember it being mentioned in one of the changelogs

[wooden hound]

they dont get removed because on harder difficulties, the gear can be in the chemical lab - and fbe ckeansuit uses batteries..
just made them actualĺy useful

if the gear is in chem lab, a cleansuit spawns at dorms

[wooden hound]

i've put a checkpoint at the very end, or is that making people not rescue

[graceful parcel]

Shockroach was re-implemented?

[worldly bone]

it wasnt removed as it would just fuck things over

[wooden hound]

now you have kzz kzz mub puh that gargatnua

[worldly bone]

[wooden hound]

HECU are cunts

[worldly bone]

i got clipped by engi trying to run a way from him

[graceful parcel]

The glasses enhance his accuracy, that's why he is able to one tap you from afar.

[wooden hound]

[worldly bone]

i was like 90% done until these two fuckers ruined everything

[graceful parcel]

once they see you

the hornets wont stop coming

[worldly bone]

https://tenor.com/view/not-the-bees-gif-26245123

[worldly bone]

juggled my gears into victory

[graceful parcel]

tortilla mode complete

how long does it take before the gears teleport back?

[worldly bone]

i asummed 2 minutes

let me check

[worldly bone]

youre not so lonely now

i think the older vesion is equally hard as you have to preserve your ammo more but the newer versions has twice as much bosses and encounters to deal with

[worldly bone]

i was right

[graceful parcel]

To be honest, I believe you and the others are way better than me. You beat the latest version pretty fast.
That being said, I don't plan to give up. I managed to get 3 gears, so I'm confident I can get all of them. Just need to learn to stop over extending in the beginning and learn to be more patient, but the blackout event alone gives me so much trouble.

[worldly bone]

heres the current strat before the update: offices, and rush to the garg sequence

i might try robotics later as the ammo management there is more important then ever

but thats for a new version

[graceful parcel]

I consider version 1 to be much much easier because areas have a predetermined set of enemies (kind of), so there is less rng involved.
Current version has too many variables to deal with.
Enemies can spawn in any place in any quantity. You have reduced ammo at the start and enemies aren't guaranteed to drop, and if they do, it won't always be the ammo for the gun you are carrying.

[worldly bone]

also was the

armor random in v1?

[graceful parcel]

That I can't remember

Personally, getting the lowest amount of armor is the least of my troubles.

I do like getting 34 at start however

My number one obstacle is ammo. The deagle in current version might be strong, but ammo is so rare, sometimes I just restart if I get it.

[graceful parcel]

Oh, you can get a Beretta now?

I already picked it up, but that will massively help with ammo management.

Little guy keeps hitting the robo, but it won't react to the damage for some reason

[worldly bone]

its a range between 27 and i think potential uhh 38? 40?

[worldly bone]

yeah

i asked because having a deagle was a disatvantage

[worldly bone]

you no longer have to as theres well, as you saw, berreyda and glock in armory now

if you can get to it that it is

[graceful parcel]

There is hope for me then

[worldly bone]

pun vs tort

[wooden hound]

@worldly bone

[worldly bone]

YEAHHHHHHHH

[slate creek]

legit run this time 😄 2 sec's and 1 sci team for a dream team

[wooden hound]

you get a song too

About to break 1900 messages on this thread:
Thanks to everybody for playing the map, giving feedback and all being generally fantastic with helping. the map project may aswell be a mod team at this point with how much help and work has been put into a single map. But the next update is the final one

Any issues, Bugs or Fixes should be listed below, these will all be included and the RMF/MAP files will be released again. The community can then continue the work. somebody else can be the 1900th message, it aint me

[worldly bone]

hhahhahahaha

@tepid nymph

[worldly bone]

that turret in non survival version is BRUTAL

[wooden hound]

yeah the Ns version has a few changes

[worldly bone]

am i doing something wrong ? (ns version)

also i like how ns version has different dialogue

[worldly bone]

this is so funny seeing after completing it in tort solo

that gave me a good laugh

i forgot how relaxed can just do this

[wooden hound]

Yeah Relaxed is funny af

you can find a SAW in the doctors office, or a MP5 with a GL in a file cabinet

[wooden hound]

GG though, glad somebody seen that

[worldly bone]

literally doing side-quests at this point

i have beaten the beast that is tort solo, i am in new game+ territory

[wooden hound]

lol

time to make bts_rc_hecu

[worldly bone]

[bitter needle]

bts_rc_af+ (all forces including bodyguards)

[wooden siren]

[worldly bone]

i was gonna suggest mixed forces cuz it sounds fun but its probably hell entity wise

and also its 100% ents so

[wooden hound]

hm

it might lag the fuck out the map

[worldly bone]

also imo the batteries should be less generous when dropped from zobmies

[wooden hound]

how many does it give you?

[worldly bone]

5

[wooden hound]

WHAT

[worldly bone]

you get 5 which is enough to last you for a while even if you load your weapons and still have 7 batteries left

compared to just 0-2 when you disassemble a flashlight

i kinda like changing batteries and darining the remaining 10%

it would be funny if it was just 1 as model clearly shows only 1 battery

[wooden siren]

i think thats an error in the scripting

prolly can fix that one @wooden hound you can yeah? or you want me to do it

[wooden hound]

i'm just looking for it

[worldly bone]

entities/items.as

wait no

[wooden siren]

its in ammo

ammo or the flashlight code itself

[worldly bone]

i think its this one

[wooden siren]

set it to 1

[wooden hound]

sv boys cheating, hes using noclip as an ammo

Right well

i'm sure everybody will agree with this

weapons with flashlights should either have 0 or 1 battery

[worldly bone]

plenty

[wooden hound]

that 5 part of the sprite?

[worldly bone]

uhh no

[wooden hound]

weapons no longer provide batteries, and flashlights provide 1

[worldly bone]

what about batteries

2?

[wooden hound]

1

let me do a zambobian count

109 zombies + 20 Gonome squadmakers
the zombies have a couple of doublers where it spawns two before shutting down.. so its effectively 120 + 20 monsters that can drop batteries if your luck is shit

[worldly bone]

and i mean

guranteed flashlight placements

[wooden hound]

flashlight has a few placements yeah

1 in office
1 in security by the elevator
1 in the warehouse next to the scientist who gets upset if you take it
i could do another one in dorms

flares have a guaranteed spawn in dorms

there is also guaranteed shotgun spawns that have flashlights aswell

[worldly bone]

yea

[wooden hound]

for the update, i'll move the scientist one to another location.. he seems pretty irrelevant when hes telling you to fix the generator, when you're about to fix the generator

and i'll make 1 fixed spawn for the flashlight in dorms aswell, if area4/5 has 2 - they should have two aswell

flashlight is pretty important on the maop

[worldly bone]

btw you can

interrupt his sentence by picking up the flashlight or vice versea

[wooden hound]

well maybe hes really upset you took his flashlight

[worldly bone]

how about he beats a tort alone huh how about that

[wooden hound]

i'll move him to a better location
change his dialog.. maybe more to do with the crane rather than the generator

we need a weapon_clipboard that updates as objectives get done lol

[worldly bone]

chop chop

chop chop

another tortilla

[wooden hound]

The Gargantua Cheese will be removed the next update

[graceful parcel]

3 gears was my record on the previous version but

Just experienced the Garg event, and needless to say, i instantly died, but it was pretty cool

and with the extended basement, things got a lot more complicated

I just wish I had more time to grind the map

[wooden hound]

@stiff rover was there any particular part you beleived needed more guidance?

[stiff rover]

Probably just some slightly more tips, but only if there's an Easy Difficulty and if there's an Easy Difficulty. Harder difficulties might need some slight less guidance or tips.

Didn't even know why I voted for needing more guidance.

[wooden hound]

I know with Relaxed - it does give you some extra guidance as to what to look for, and the map itself now has sprites across all difficulties as a toggle to help newer players look for 'beacons' as to where to go. I could include some extra dialog but most of the npcs are removed anyway on the harder difficulties

[tepid nymph]

@worldly bone Nice one! 👀 I don't get who dropped the grenade though

[worldly bone]

the gonome dropped the grenade on death

[tepid nymph]

God bless the implementation of live cameras in GoldSrc. On which note, i'm currently playing System Shock, i was astonished this game had live cameras in 1994

[worldly bone]
