You guys are running RedShip beta 15 on your server which is months old.
I highly recommend you update to beta 18 asap! Why?
- HDR (High Dynamic Range) implementation for nicer visuals.
- Performance improvements all over the map. (comparable to Valve maps framerates)
- New environment: Space (near planet Earth) YES with low gravity! (1/2 gravity outside only. Teleporters bypass this so if you use a teleporter while in a low-grav. zone, you will retain it once teleported. Strategize with your friendly engineers.)
- New Objectives interface: easier to read and to understand. Left hand side, stays for 2 min. on-screen each time you respawn.
- Structural changes affecting the flow of the gameplay which now funnels the players to the action.
- Visual and gameplay changes to the major rooms in RedShip.
- Locations inside RedShip now clearly indicated (cargo room, CIC room...)
- Added a vent that goes from Cargo room to the CIC room.
- All vents now unlock after 2 consoles destroyed in Cargo room.
- Stage 2 is now easier for BLU to defend mainly because of changes in the CIC room.
- Fixed the sunset effect
- RE Bomb now called RE Cart simply because it doesn't blow up at the Core.
- Improved RE Cart radioactive smoke effect.
- On-screen messages for RE Cart status (Activated, 25%, 50%, 75%, Fully charged)
- Added trigger_hurt to destroy builds on the Cart's way.
- Improved skyboxes.
- Made changes to make the map fit the TF2 theme more.
- Better audio indicators that the announcer is, in fact, RedShip's mother computer. She comments about objectives failed, and demotivates BLU team if they take possession of RedShip.
- New TV animations better explain the goal of the map.
- End of round would sometimes end the game and switch to the next map in rotation independently of timeleft for the map.
- During stage 2, RED would not have the low gravity effect upon spawning.
- It was possible to see sparks underneath RedShip.
- Missing embedded soundfile for new soundscape.
- Modified the upper vents a bit so that both vents can now be guarded by a single sentry/player.
- Added small platform in CIC room in front of Engine room corridor to accommodate snipers.
- Removed the sliding door to the Cargo room.
- No more lights turning off when objectives completed (perf. issues due to engine bug)
- No more cloudy environment, got replaced with space.
- Many, many, many visual glitches fixed (weird shadows, wrong reflections...)
- Many more bugs fixed
Have fun!
