After playing it a bit, i'd say the numbe rone thing to do is to reduce the lag!

A lot of players said they enjoyed it, just the lag letting the map down.

Like jaffa said, its a great map, awsome design to it, very well planned out and i fucking love the dancing triangle of zombies!!

Just needs optimizing to try and reduce the lagg in the map.

Good job!

I sadly didnt get to play it all the way through as the map was changed the like, 2nd round I was in the server, but it seems really cool. Only thing is that it took me a long while to download it by entering server but was probably just my shitty connection ATM. Cant wait to play through and win it

I played it, and got lost when I got to the first mausoleum. I eventually noclipped to the girl's house then got instakilled. ):


Fail.



Great map though! Love the zombies dancing XD

It was a nice map, awsome and the thriller music was the icying on the cake. I was blown away by the awsome zombies dancing and the ending was pure awsomeness.

Great Jod :thumb:!!

I just updated it a while ago so hope its a little better
http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/112061

Also the girl's house is protected by a kill trigger till you break the tomb door, so no one can cheat, and the mausoleum has a wall that falls, but its behind a breakable wall.

Nice, downloading now, will add it once fast downloads stop being completely retarded.

Again, thanks!

Good map again.
we need a top 10 server for zombie.
This would go great.

Well I updated it a little and tried a fogless version, so heres how it looks

What FM said. Put a smoker modeled zombie sidestepping back and forth. It looks JUST like thriller dance. No lie :P

Well, I tried one more update to make it more "better/requestable" and I'll give it a day or two till then.

Keep us updated bro.

I would love to see a SG theme ZE, with rooms based on a Member.
Like Bullet will be some Asian thing and tinker's will be a beer room

Since the last version, the one that are playing right now on the RUN BITCH RUN server, it crashes my HL2.exe.
Happened 3 times in 3 rounds. No one has the same problem? :-s
(Only happened to me on this map)

Also, about the FPS... I did notice that the Props don't seem to fade.
You can select them all and add Fade distances (they will start become invisible after the first distance, and won't be render at all after the second one).
If done properly, the level will look the same, but you won't have so many models loaded at the same time.

It's a REALLY good map Sonic, but do you have any idea how I can reduce my lag?

SonicTheHitManHog
26 Sep 2009, 07:37pm
Well, im chopping the map about 1/3 so that should help, I think the lag problem is that the graveyard and street are to big and open so its has to many things to run

Good advice here, make alot of the props fade after a certain distance away from it.

Also have you thought about a 3d skybox instead of buildings on the edge of the map? That would reduce the lagg a bit more.

Also I think those really bright light signs are causing some freuqent low fps. Maybe dim them a little or just have one big light illuminating them up.

Watch this very useful video also; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne59X-e-R9Y&feature=player_profilepage

Yea the lag could be reduced some bit, I get better FPS on Crysis maxed out :/

But I love how you got the zombies to dance <3!!!

I cant even play it lol I will get in then all of a sudden my CSS goes apeshit. Maybe the FPS on the map can be lowered a bit since I have no clue why I can play every other map besides this one without crashing. :P

Sry for not posting in a while, anyways I got the map on b4 now, loaded it on fpsb. So I shorten the map, lower the entit count (74%) faded props and did a normal compile on the map (took 19 hours @.@), but so far from testing it, I got the FPS to about no lower than 37+ and about 60 on average, so hope it test good on your comps :P
