    I remember that. I saw BE heavy within the first 10 minutes of the game and freaked out a little.

    You could probably fix it with a lot of emp_sv_unresearch commands. Not sure when they'd need to be executed, though.
    Assuming you can still research something that's been unresearched.

    You can't unresearch research.

    Say i research rail guns, i can't emp_sv_unresearch Rail Guns. The command doesnt' remove research that has already been researched, i understand that the command is there, but it does not work the way people think. In fact i'm not sure how it works at all.

    Works fine for me.
    Tested just now, the command is emp_sv_unresearch_item.
    I.e. emp_sv_unresearch_item "Rail Gun"

    Even so, it's not something we server admins should have to do on a mapper's behalf. This is likely just a mishap. Pastori must've been setting the research to complete so that she wouldn't have to research things during her local testing. She could've (and probably should've) set research to complete from the Create a Server menu instead of in her map where the potential to forget exists. It's not a big deal, but we shouldn't have to call the unresearch command relentlessly in a map config. Waiting for another release is no problem, and the minimap VTF in this release was somewhat corrupt/faulty anyway, and we had to take the one from midbridge_b2 and rename it to b3 so that Empires could load it.

    In this past week, I have had to manually fix or adjust 4 different map releases so that they'd work properly, and then rehost them so that others could download an already-working package (midbridge_b3, break, mesa_b3, temple_b3). It is starting to grow tiresome, and midbridge's map config is where I'll draw the line for now.

    I was just about to say the same thing. If so, well, I think you're our one and only female mapper :)

    Nah, I didn't even notice the avatar. Someone told me pastori was a female, I can't exactly remember who said it.

    Oh well I'll try to finalize this map as soon as I can, it's soon two years since I made the first version. I should have plenty of time in the first week of June to get the final changes done.

    I don't know what was wrong with the minimap, it was the same file I used for b3. The full research was accidentally left on, it sure wasn't intentional, sorry for that. Also the .res file was broken :p.

    Also at least for me, when I downloaded the file, it changed the extension from .rar to .zip, could that have caused some corruption?

    Also some fresh screenshots for the first post:

    OK few questions....

    Are you a male or female, i know many want to know.

    How did you take those screenshots like that.

    And yes that can cause corruption which would explain when we replaced all the files it worked, lol

    Otherwise keep up the work

    Resolution is equivalent to two 1680x1050 screens side by side. I'm guessing dual-monitor setup.

    probably, i can do the same with my monitors but its rather a bother because i hate playing with a black line in the center of my view over the crosshair (the left and right monitor edges)
