Dod_Edge Beta coming very soon!!!

[kontrolfreek]

hey everyone, we at Grid-Gaming.net are getting ready to release a beta version of our dod_edge map. some of you might remember the 1.3 version of the map which was fun to play, very poor texturing and buildings tho. We have spiced it up but kept the original layout. anyway, here are some pictures from the map, would you all be interested in hosting the beta up on your server for a test run maybe next week? thanks.

hey cain, i think the map size will be around 45 meg when done, i had to add a train model in the map and i did the majority of the 3d skybox tonight and now the map is around 43 mg, with only two buildings left and and a few touch ups it shouldnt get much larger. do you know how to set up fast downloads from an http server with your game server? if not i would be more then happy to help and would use our http site for the downloads. all you do is tell the server to look at say Index of /fastdownloads for the files, then it auto downloads from there, and its super fast. let me know if i can help u out, thanks.

i replied vito, thanks.

For those of you who are going to help us with a pre beta run through, please be aware of this. i have studied up on vis blocking for about 3 hours tonight and learned some new tricks. the map we will be pre beta running is not fully optimized but i would still like to know if you are experiencing video or fps issues. thanks. the full release beta will be optimized tho, and this might delay the release of it by a few days, thanks

[kontrolfreek]

thanks to the few who helped us look over the map tonight, well last night now. i did have the vis blocking done and i think everyone was happy with fps and smoothness of the map. i have fixed the couple of glitches we found and added tons of detail to the allie side. i will detail up the axis side tomorrow night and the map should be ready for a full blown beta test. cant wait to get 12 or so people in there, should be a blast, thanks again.

Kontrol the best time to test will be weekend mornings.

There is a hardcore group of DOD players who play weekend mornings, and we are not struggling to get players in our server, but many of us play early Sat and Sun AM, so we'd be happy to test ..

I can make myself free on the mornings to help out
