April 26th Update

[Lap]

I've been busy with other stuff and so my main job this weekend was to try and observer what was causing the crashing that has been happening a lot recently. The logs don't show any lua errors and every report I've got points to something else.

Although the server was crashing at one point so much that it never got off the first map in the rotation I was able to sit in the server for seven hours waiting for a crash that never came. So unfortunately I still have no idea what is causing that crash.

On a positive note I am able to replicate a bug where undoing a duplication can in some cases give the owner back less melon limit than it should. I can't really figure this one out at the moment either. Be very careful when undoing dupes for now.

I fixed some various problems with duping while I was doing this so that's a plus.

I'm going to reinstate the fast download server within the next few days and I will be having a new rotation of all new maps. I'll post the final rotation order later, but here are the new maps the server will be using.

wm_island_v3
wm_quadlake_v1
wm_seton'sclutch
wm_2melons1bridge
gms_ar_p16802
emp_money_wm
emp_mvalley_wm
emp_canyon_wm
sb_starcombat
gm_tropics_v3b
gm_platformbuild & possibly one of the new colonies maps
wm_grassforts

I may also be throwing in some random sourceforts or fortwars maps as well. There should be a lot more naval combat as well as larger maps. Judging by how well a couple space build maps go will probably determine how many more I use.

I think it's time I reinstalled ULX so that'll be happening. This means that you will all be able to do map voting again.

The next month is going to get really busy for me, but then I'm on vacation for a month (hopefully) and I'll be able to go full time on WM:RTS again. I'm going to focus on getting launchers and transports fully implemented along with all the new models as soon as possible since I won't have much time soon.

Expect another update Monday afternoon/night.

Do sourceforts maps work on gmod? Maybe they do, but I thought those plate didnt exist in gmod. Well, hopefully it will work, as there is alot maps there that I like

[Lap]

The only maps I don't think work are L4d maps (though they would suck and I haven't even tried).

If you want to request some sourceforts maps throw out some suggestions.

There is this great map where you are in sky, and the flag is above player spawn. spawn is a ramp up to the level of he rest of the map, while the flag area is 2 ramps on either side of spawn ramp, going down to the level of rest map. The map is made like a fork, by being first open, then divide into 3 bridges. When you reach middle of bridges you just add a mirror and you see the rest of the map. Simple but still good map. Thought for warmelons its not very good due to its made for 2 teams.

There is this map you are in a city, where both teams are on either side of a slope down. I think it might be a good map for warmelons.

There is this map you go out from spawn into play area. Right outside spawn there is pavement, in middle of it a place you cant be shoot at from enemy side, with ammo and such at. Ppl can build ontop of it and the edges. The flag is in half a circle of pavement that goes further out then the rest of the pavement. After pavement there is grass, in a slope downwards. On the way to bottom, you encounter large grey monolites you can build on or take cover behind. When you reach bottom, the other side is like the one I just said, exept it is rotated 180 degrees (flag are in opposite corner, not only opposite side). This map could be good due to possibility for 4 players (you could try to add more, but it would not be as neat).


Also, reason I didnt think they work, are cause of build/combat phases.

Do not bother uploading 2melons1bridge - v2 is just about to be completed as soon as I finish a couple of tweaks here. Expect release tomorrow or the next day.

Feha, Lua solves everything and WM:RTS has a system right now that makes it so easy to use any maps from any source game. I know the sky map you are talking about, it's one of my favorites as well. I only hesitate to put 1v1 maps on there since jerks not letting people join their team causes a lot of drama.

I'm still hunting that crash bug right now. Adv duplicator is temporarily offline while I keep ruling things out.

[feha]

So you are telling me some neat zombiemaster maps can be added to? Because that warehouse map would be great (if the spawnpoints would have fit), not to mention the map where you blow up fuel station that got a tornado (sp fits, actually quite many of them). That disco map from zm would be good to (watch where you spawn sp XD) and last map of portal could work aswell.

Sure some of these are not that good, but I am brainstorming atm XD

I've tried pretty much every ZM map ever made and none of them really work well for WM. The closest thing is the startship troopers style fort, but that's really better for a scenario.
