i will most likely submit it to the team and/or pvkmaps.com . Itll probably be done in the next few weeks. Does anyone have any ideas on something they want to see in this map? i.e. a special store, a stable etc.?
I want to see a Radio Shack.
On a more serious note.
Holy crap, this map looks totally fucking sweet. Major props on it.
hmm i seem to be having a slight problem. After i compile my map i keep on getting the same map that i sent you guys with no updates. argh this is a bigzor problemxz

Have you named it alpha_2? If so, make sure yor selecting that one on the map list.

nah im not that crazy lol, the map used to be called egypt something, then i saved it as alpha 1 bazaar. Now i go to the bazaar vmf and made changes, compiled it and i got the map that i send you guys, but i made updates. Technically it should have updated, because it compiles, but i get the same map that i send you guys. This is really pissin me off because i made some crucial fps and entity changes, but it does not appear in game.
zomg double post - i have fixed this. took some decompiling but it did the job. fps is quite decent to. It will be even better when hint brushes and func_detail is added to optimize the map.

Main problems:
If you fall down past the fence near the Knight spawn, then you can get behind the building. Can lead to haxors.
FPS issues - you've went a bit mad with the props.
Vikings and Pirates spawns are too close - they'll end up fighting each other.
Vikings get to the spawn around 5 secs earlier than the pirates.
Minor problems:
The flashing light in the hubb jubb club means you get lots of slowdown.
Someone could block the vikings' ways out on a non-friendly-fire server- make bigger alleyways.
That smokestack above the fire isn't doing anything - it's too dark too see it insde and the smoke rises out of the building magically.
The fire damages your armor first, not your health.
Asthetic problems:
The stair is too high there.
There is also two suns - one that dazzles you, one that comes with the skybox.
Where is this light source coming from?
No wall there.
Good points
Plenty of places to make ambushes.
The crow flying around was a nice touch.
I'll add more later.
There's no way out of here if you fall down.
You can see part of a nodraw there..
the ladder in the grey room opposit the bar dosent work.
the large dark room with the whole in the first floor is abit of a mystery to me.
the chest area has some stares asending to a window.
try changing some of your prop_static shelves instead of the physics ones.
great start though. (i'll continue to add as i find)
