Since release this map has had its entire spawn system reworked and the trader selected progressively as to not make the player travel across the entire map.
Players will re-spawn on the current trader if they didn't make it through a wave.
Spawns only activate if players are in its area.
Atmospheric rain was added throughout the map.
The cars were removed since they were too buggy.
Map has been updated with a lot of changes as described in the description!
Thanks for the input and feedback!
I planned on releasing a heavy fog/mist version of this for variation and because I am curious to how it feels compared to the train being the only source of light.
Expect more variations of this in the future!
Updated with V3 which should fix spawns and added some visual changes.
I had to release a hotfix for the track collision glitching zeds online but not in solo
Updated Map.
Screenshots here Imgur.com
V2 Changelist:
- Spawnrate increase, this should fix the zed getting lost as well.
- Added more precise collision to train tracks
- Pathing improvements
- Train speed very slightly increased
- Improved teleporting for train and when spawnig in
- The trader path seems to be working better with the train
- FPS issues should be fixed, if not please let me know
- Changed customization and starting area to be the elevators leading down to biotic labs
- Visual changes on train, including a tie in to blackforest with some baby clotmothers on-board
- Aurora Borealis added to outside snow area
- Fire and ashfall added to the rocky ravine area
- Flowers added to forest
- Changed up tunnel visuals a bit
- Improved boss spawning so they don't start far away.
I have played this on multiple servers and this is the first I have heard of a major lag/performance issue aside from the rocky area.
Most give positive feedback on the light given off the train. Aside from that everything else will be pitch black :P
Was this on solo? Or did you try joining a server?
updated and made some quick hotfixes.
Fixes:
- Performance in rocky areas
- Teleporting during wave when near the front of the train
- Players now die when falling off edges in cliffside area.
- changes to snow section of the level
I thought about that and it would be interesting to see how it plays.
However I want to let players risk getting lost in the corn if they think they know a shortcut or the way back to the middle. I wanted this to be a free roam map that doesn't hinder the player movement or feel cramped and blocking off the corn would have a huge impact on the feel of the map.
Good suggestion though and I love the feedback! Thanks for playing and giving time to comment.
I noticed that the glass windows are blocking players in some servers but I am unsure why. If you are unable to jump through the window on a server please let the admin know and have them contact me please so I can try to resolve this :)
Is it hard for you at the moment to get to the center with letting you move through the crops?
This wouldn't be a hard version to make but I wanted to let players move through the crop if they wanted at the risk of low visibility and getting lost when trying to take a shortcut.
Updated the map. Should be getting better performance now.
If you crouch/stand at this location most zeds will not path and walk past and gather in the room to the left: I.imgur.com
You can jump on top of this power box and the zeds can't reach you: I.imgur.com
If you stand at this spot most zeds will gets stuck here and will not path to you: I.imgur.com
You can jump on top of this trader and the zeds can't reach you: I.imgur.com
You can also cruch behind these barriers and most zeds will not path or be able to get to you:

You can jump behind the carbdoard boxes between the tents and zeds will not path to you and or will get stuck.
Zeds will not path to you when standing at this location at the edge of the platform.
I had to update the V3 download real quick to fix the default grass issue from a previous update on KF2. If you downloaded this today or sometime before 12/15/2015 please redownload and reapply to the server!
Update V3 is out:
- Fixed Spawns all around.
- Zeds fall from cliffs gracefully now
- Added some obstacles to roadways and made some visual changes
- Performance should be increased even more now
- Added a lot of blocking volumes to smooth out movements and to fix zed pathing
- Reverb Volumes adjusted to sounds like you are in the mountains
- Overall general polish and updates to map
New Update Final_V6 with consistent 60fps performance is out!
Updates/Changes:
- Consistent 60fps with optimization improvements.
- Lighting Improved
Spawns and much more need adjusted in this map. I am working on an update to release and fix these issues.
Just want everyone to know I am working on an update that will make this map 60fps all around if possible!
I guess I should have made it clear that you can move the ball of light :P
Update: I had to make a quick update to fix spawning issues. It is out now!
New Update Final_V5 is out!
Updates/Changes:
- Polished Audio with some more complex reverb volumes on map
- Optimized Precomputed Visibility more.
- Added more to the customization area.
Party room, lab room, medical room, bloat barf green room, birthday room, and of course the blood room. Hotel rooms tend to be exactly alike, so I made them all have different landmarks so you know where you are at.
What parts are you talking of looking the exact same since each room has a different layout/objects/lighting?
Thanks for playing and giving feedback!
Thank you for playing and giving feedback! Do you have any other thoughts or suggestions with the most recent release?
