Melee_checkers_v5 [on server]

[Egonny]

I guess everybody knows the melee_checkers map, but it's extremely outdated and the melee system can get circumvented easily. Well, not anymore with the fixed version!

I've remade the melee system so that your weapons only disappear when the round starts (not the 5 seconds before the round starts), and made an invisible wall that disappears when the round starts (making pre-round shooting impossible.)
Items that aren't harmful are allowed (Sandvich, Dalokoh's Bar, Crit-a-Cola and Bonk! Energy Drink.)

If there are more requests for some edits to the map, post them here.

Credit goes ,of course, to the original maker of this map (whose name I don't know >.<)

Awesome. That will fix a bunch of the problems with that map.

Make the pillars small and you got a 10/10

Done, and I added a small healthkit to each of them.

[LaN]

I don't mean to be picky, but stairs leading to the pillar would be great for goomba stomping. But short pillars are also great

Perfect.

How about a way to end the map if you're the last player (say, a Heavy), and the only other player, a Scout, is doing nothing but running away.

Such as a control point.

I can't detect that there are 2 players left, but I can add a control point that is only cappable after 5 minutes (added it to the first post.)

@Lan: I'll make a version with stairs, although I don't think it's such a good idea.

Is there a way to eliminate the medi gun and kritz to prevent the always annoying permaheal

Nah you don't have to add stairs. Just remove mediguns/krits and you are Perfect

[Egonny]

Mkay, removed the infinite overheal glitch.
Should people still be able to build dispensers or not?

[spleenter]

I don't see problems with dispensers just no sentries or teles that suicide engis can use to grief their team

in the current version an engineer can build on the very bottom of the map if he times the drop right, ive seen both dispensers and tele exits. Both very annoying.

You have my respect and love. You have perfected my goomba stomp palace <3

Perhaps a bear on one of the pillars. That would be my only request. Then you'd have my inifinate love and respect


SOMETHING USEFUL TO ADD: Considering how it's checkers... Perhaps Checker pieces covering some of the gaps? or have them as like jump pads. Or jump pads? Goomba stomp would greatly enhance

[spleenter]

Then you'd have my inifinate love and respect

So now its between You, Lan, Broslaughter, and Egonny?

[CaliforniaBear]

Uh. More like replacing LaN. Lol jkay. No, They have different portions of my heart.


Anyways. Let's get these on the server ASAP <3

[Egonny]

Great idea, I'll try to fill some of the gaps with jump pads ^^.

[Egonny]

Done, I think I added everything needed to make this a better map.

[num yummy]

Awesome. I'll test out the map when I get home from work today.

[LaN]

I love it.

[FlaminSarge]

This is awesome. NO MORE CSAY BINDS FOR THE RULES AGAINST THE STUFF YOU FIXED! YAAAAAAY!

[CaliforniaBear]

Hm... You get Pleased/Pleased. You have pleased me when I am sober. You are quite the star.

By that logic im 3 stars

[spleenter]

Is there anyway that you could push back this map until after the polycount update, otherwise the map wont strip those guns and we'd be back at square one.

[gtgsatellite]

I wish you could change the hideous skybox to another one that doesn't have the light blue at the bottom (like the arena_lumberyard skybox) and add cubemaps so it doesn't have the pink & black reflections.

[FlaminSarge]

I found a meleemode plugin thats VERY recent, I'll send it to captain to put it on this map.

A new version is coming up, with some fixes (graphical and gameplay), but I'm waiting for the Polycount update to release it.

Please tell me you will have a control point that will activate sometime during the round this time, so we don't spend hours hunting runaway scouts or Camp n' Dagger spies

Yea, letting it wait 5 minutes to active wasn't my best idea.

[Egonny]

The new v5 is out, is fixed for the Polycount update and has some graphical updates. Enjoy!
