Empires Summer Scrim League Game 6 - 25th July 21:00 BST/ 16:00 EDT/ 13:00 PDT

Game will more than likely be hosted on EPIC server.

Map will be King, but this is entirely dependent on me speaking to both Cyberkiller and Vicki to make sure the map still works fine so we don't have a repeat of what happened on Forest.

Those who have not participated in the league before and are looking at this thread on game night, this is the thread relevant to you:

Looking foward to whole squads getting stuck at flag rax.

 

the only problem with king is that the racks models placed throughout the map (not the actual ones) are rotated wrong and so it seems like theres a leak into the world.
however, the pathways/collisions are independant of the model. so there are no problems with the map (also we played it quite recently with no problems, remember trickster?)

wow people thought they got stuck? looks like the skill ceiling isnt really that high in empires

 

FUCK THIS MAP HOLY SHIT FUCKING RIOT BOYS. WE CANT LET TRICKSTER AND HIS NAZI MODS FUCKING DESTROY THE FOUNDATION OF THIS LEAGUE. KING IS THE SHITTTIEST MAP EVER INVENTED AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL GOOD THINGS IN THIS WORLD FUCKING RTV THIS SHIT.

 

say:rtv

 

King has a couple of minor issues with the underground spawn raxes being rotated 90 degrees the wrong way, but the clipping is still correct so you just have to walk through the wall to get out (just a little confusing).
But other than that issue, it was playable last time we played on it in a pug.

 

Doesnt that mean the nf rax is placed correctly now then?

 

What? Was the nf rax always bugged? I don't remember that.
Now I'm just confused.

 

No, but comeplete has been complaining about the new nf rax being turned 90* for no reason for a long time now.
If raxes on king are rotated another 90*, then nf rax would just be turned 180 instead while be rax is still clipping the walls everywhere.

 

empiresmod has a serious rotate problem

 

He's talking about the BE raxes inside the mountain, they're not actual raxes placed by the comm, they're used as models. There are no NF raxes used in this way.

 

All right then, makes sense.

Also please include a download link for team leaders to spam among the group so we wont get 40 people downloading the map at 5kbps during the match.

 

I'll put up a server with the map loaded a couple of days before so people can join to download it.

 

I won't make it this time, so it would be nice if someone else from X-ray would record the games.

 

Why doesnt your com record?

 

Why isn't king an offical map and why isn't there any download link for it in the thread?

 

Given the amount of testing we did, and the amount of planning you guys did, I'm honestly devastated that King didn't work out. I expected an incredible pair of games from it. Ward produced a couple of decent enough games but I'm feeling fairly depressed about how the whole night went to be honest. After the shitstorm on Forest I put a lot of time into trying to make sure the same thing didn't happen again and it still crashed.

I know that certain people like to put the blame on the server for lag or crashes, but with the King crash it was more than likely the map itself. Candles is going to try and see if he can work something out regarding crashdumps because at the moment they don't seem to work, which means we can't even fix the problems.
