Me too. I love the octogon. That is a good one.

There's a newer post about my maps - here


I released a new simple map (spacebox), and updated float & octagon.

New map - tfdb_spacebox
Simple map much like octagon.

Updates:

tfdb_octagon_a5 - Players can no longer take fall damage, narwhals fixed.
tfdb_float_a2 - Re-arranged stuff. Narwhals fixed. Feedback would be appreciated.

Hey Yellowblood, awesome work.

Octagon is a server favourite. Didn't even notice the fall damage. Nice work

Float is good, and the hot floor in the middle is good, and new placement of the pads also. It really could use two rockets though, that's my only complaint.

I still laugh when someone falls off or gets blasted off.

Spacebox is good too. EDIT: Just discovered the low ceiling, it could possibly move upto the top of the box. We like low-grav.

Hey guys, I was just on Newsworthy's server earlier testing another map of mine. Rockets all spawned fine and everything went smooth, but once the map changed the mod basically stopped working.

The server logs show:

L 06/13/2010 - 23:42:22: [SM] Native "FindEntityByClassname" reported: Entity 424 is not valid L 06/13/2010 - 23:42:22: [SM] Displaying call stack trace for plugin "tf_dodgeball_rockets.smx": L 06/13/2010 - 23:42:22: [SM] [0] Line 194, D:\srcds\orangebox\tf\addons\sourcemod\script ing\tf_dodgeball_rockets.sp::findNextTeamLaun chPosition() L 06/13/2010 - 23:42:22: [SM] [1] Line 170, D:\srcds\orangebox\tf\addons\sourcemod\script ing\tf_dodgeball_rockets.sp::fireTeamProjecti le() L 06/13/2010 - 23:42:22: [SM] [2] Line 116, D:\srcds\orangebox\tf\addons\sourcemod\script ing\tf_dodgeball_rockets.sp::SpawnRockets()

The only work around that we found worked (to a degree) was setting the mod to unload and load at each new map load. The problem also persists with another map of mine too.

The map itself plays fine though as I said. Rockets spawn, rounds end correctly etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Thanks for your comments, I was really happy to read them

The low ceiling (it's added in octagon_a5 too) is there to prevent players from abusing the fall damage. It happened a lot when a player pushed an enemy up in the air so he would die out of fall damage.

I know low gravity can be fun, and I didn't think about it... maybe you can help me finding a new way of preventing this abuse? watered floor isn't an option

[yellowblood]

marcusx,

mechanicus is a great map. One thing I would add is some king of reward to those who dare leaving the safe span platform - a health pack maybe. A big one (50% or even 100%), right under the rockets spawner. and maybe 2, small health packs, on the corners far from the spawn platforms.

WHAT SAY YOU

Sounds good; I'll definitely host it on my server once TF2Items is not required.

Its less noticable in Octagon, I think the difference with Spacebox is that you can see there is space up there, that there is no way you can escape 'the box', so you really notice when you hit that ceiling. I didn't even know Octagon had a ceiling, shows how closely I was looking.

Can anyone please post a working "config_arena.cfg" and "server.cfg" for this mod?

Hey traxxus, here's the config_arena I use on my server.

From what I (Note, I am no expert) can gather, if you have config_arena setup correctly, server.cfg won't actually impact on your server. But, just in case, here is what I have.
