I played your map with a half-working UT2004 copy
I had as backup and it looks pretty good, the FPS was
ok exept during the execution sequence, For as far as I know
JB-cosmos only has one kicker. How many of them do you have?

JB-Cosmos had 12 kickers per jail. mine has 12 too. but i changed that to 1 per jail, bu tin the tests the bots didnt get kciked off or atleast 2 or 3 were stil there so it needs more still. and also the fps has dropped stil even tho everything is zoned off now :S so im gonna try n work on it somemore

Framerates really went up a great bit,
think it's ready for launch.
The only things I saw was some statics being 5 uu or what away from the wall
Can't judge on the textures anymore if you changed them becouse all textures in whatever map are the basic texture since the crash.

As I said it should be ready unless you are so nitpicky you want to align that mesh for the final 5 UU

Now it does run smooth... A great FPS improvement here, too. Good work! :tup: The frames in the execution stay about 15-20 now...
There are still 2 things you can do to finish the optimization work, though (if you don't like things being rendered in wrong zones):
- Keep the outside wievs in different zones (add zoneportals in the windows is what I mean... ;))
- For some meshes that are partially sticked to walls (leaves, waterfalls) you can use the Display -> ForcedVisibilityZoneTag option and they will be rendered only in their right zones... AngelMapper explained it better in her tutorial: http://angelmapper.com/tutorials/optimization1.htm
It wouldn't be really necessary in this map anyway, since your framerates are not in the limit, but... :rolleyes:

Overall, the map is nearly finished... If you don't want to work more on visuals, it can be released whenever you want... :)

It really is nothing.... you sure are nitpicky
well Acyd send me an ISO of her cd 1 (The others still worked)
So I could install my UT2004 again.

I took a screenshot
(may be low quality did not have a chance to change the settins yet)
But It is not worth changing

Here it is but it can even be you intended to do this.

- Check the bot pathing/assaultpathing because I felt in the latest betas that the bots like much more the upper floor (shockrifle) than the flak floor... [The shock floor is usually in action, whereas you can run safe through the flak level... it's my favourite way to attack the base! :p]
- My framerates go down a bit when I get into the jumpad emitters, can you lower the detail/number of particles a bit? :rolleyes:
I think it's ready... I've just played it and I have not seen any bug...
Good work! Now let's see how Nautilus grows up! :tup:

-checked pathing, all good. i noticed that too tho but also,sometimes they all go the flakway instead of shock. and if its just one bot left, it almost always gos the flak way..anyway it all works fine.alot of the time they go the flak way and come up the jumppads and so it seems they never went down there...
-ok ive reduced the particles (even more btw)

Edit: crap...just testing it now with hazel and weve found a few mesh problems, and also you can see part of the jails and arena through the skybox!! :( so il fix that and upload final later i hope.
