I've posted this up in response to your posts Warren & Catalyst on our Wireplay board, but I thought I'd add it here too.
Last night was the first serious thrash we've had at 2.1, and some of the maps really lagged badly.
On Frozen Arena the lifts were just about unusable. If you could actually get onto the platform, it wouldn't appear to move anywhere, but the sound effect would be played. Either you'd be squished, even though you were standing in the middle (You thought), or you'd find yourself still on the ground. This made this map unplayable.
On Sub-Base, the inside area round the sub lagged badly, particularly when you're in the water.
The Unforgiven, HillBase and Hootsak were ok, for me anyway, quite playable.
Other problems:
Missing / erratic weapon sounds, particularly the M16 (shame - favourite wep that). This was happening for everyone in the game, whether they had a SBLive, A3D2 or p.o.s SB64 like me.
Skins. For some reason we were all in the basic Kurgan skin with no colours. Were we doing something wrong? I tried changing to T_blue, but no dice. That makes it very difficult to see who's who.
I'd really like to persist with the mod, as I think it rocks, but unless we can address some of these it'll have to be cut back to 3/4 maps or removed altogether IMO.
Any help you can give us to get this running smoothly would be really appreciated, and I hope I don't sound too negative, I don't mean to be, I think you've done a great job, and I just want to play it to bits /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
<Ahh - I see you haven't got all the nice new smilies - Check these guys out http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/faq.html#smilies>
