I think the packet loss problem should be solved now. Wolfi

Thank you so much! It works like a charm again now.

On a similar note: the mapping server has been down for quite a while now. Would you mind restarting it, please?

I guess that for the two of you waiting at the boss portal while others are in another room dealing with smaller monsters is also a definition of "fun". :D

Also the quote was "have fun UT". Not sure he knows what that means, though. Very Happy1

Some veterans still play (I've never seen you play, which times do you play?), but there's massive structural issues:

1. There are no admins anymore, at least they are inactive.
2. Due to lack of maintenance, some servers have been down for almost or longer than a year, which includes the test server. Maps on the test server (including my only one and some of yours) are thus stuck in dev limbo forever.
3. Other servers get new maps on a regular basis, but due to 1. and 2. this is not the case here.
4. Due to a lack of new maps, old players are less motivated.
5. Attracting new Kyles is hard, all the hyperactive smartphone folks have no patience and 1 or 2 deaths are already leading them to quit again. If you have less kyles, you get less veterans and thus less people who carry the kyles or can at least kill a pupae that would otherwise kill the kyle on sight.
6. There's also a lack of moderation, only EW is still around and can't be on 24/7 after all, thus giving lots of free space to certain people.

There are easy remedies to this.

1. Calling them out.
2. Constant kickvotes for the dumbasses skipping monsters.
3. Bans, very long bans, since 1 and 2 don't deter people like the 3 letter nickname French players who can't even read English.
4. Editing the maps so they can't be ended without all monsters being cleared, this can exclude maps with "endless spawning" (none is really endless, all of them are limited, but some just spawn at a very low speed). Good map makers already do that nowadays.

Also it would be very helpful if the remaining servers would be up again and if admins showed up as well.

I just got a flurry of wild accusations (like child rapist and threatening to bomb his daughter, which he had doctored screenshots for). He's definitely escaped not on the meds he needs to be.

2021-11-26 16:47.29 THUNDERBOLT: EYY EEE this is not 1 racer

That's the only funny line in that convo.

As for the Flash guy... please don't take him serious. He's a highly schizoprenic guy and has been here under many other names, Boss_Salt and BlackDragon indeed being some of them. He's had at least a dozen of names here sometimes within days. Also rambled on the discord server about someone ruining his life or whatever.

And in the past he made fake screenshots of me wishing for his daughter to be bombed and other stuff. He deleted that discord account again, but the fakes are still there because the discord server is not moderated.

Just ignore him.

Will there be a possiblity to butcher cows and/or nalis?

On a more serious note, hopefully not the opposite of what you expected:
- I thought a bit about a scenario behind it, here's my ideas along with some other thoughts.
- The galleon very much reminds me of Koos galleon (DM-KGalleon). For MH I would take that as the initial starting point and make it so players start in the belly of the ship (put some other less fortunate and already dead prisoners in cells? make it a break out of your prison ship scenario?) and have to fight their way up against some skaarj. I liked the elevators and sails in the original galleon so much. Also the ship is not very deep in the water, unless you want to name it Wasa ofc... ugly

- There could be some power grids (think blue lightning bolts-ish) preventing moves and that you need to switch off first (if we stay in the prison island idea for example), or better yet have cleaned up first as well. Full clean only allowing the triggering of the next part kills off our rusher friends. That would require barring access to the top field, though. On the other hand that wouldn't necessarily be bad and make it a bit more claustrophobic.
- The turrets look fun, good spots for nasty skaarj snipers (acting as prison guards?). Any elevators or ladders possible? On the other hand it could also be more ramp fun where you have to go through climb sequences instead of ladders/elevators.

- I didn't hop around for an eternity, but didn't experience any crashes so far.

The many different paths definitely make it look very interesting. The map could easily be expanded further in that way.

Would definitely also love to see this map with monsters and see how it behaves then :)

PS: How's it going on the other two maps we playtested a few months ago?

Well, uhm... there are already super sized monsters in various maps on dU. And yes, they have big HP because they're supposed to be bosses. :Zwinker:

Edit: Mesosphertic and PartyCrashers are now on the Mapping server.

Gave both a shot yesterday.

@Terraniux, since you asked for it and trying to recollect everything that was mentionned.

PartyCrashers:
- Only had a deemer malfunction in the Skaarj area (square court). Tried to fly the deemer, but somehow it wouldn't, then on second click I simply exploded. Had no weapons somehow either then. Pretty weird and I'm almost certain it's not related to the map.
- You wrote something about music being supposed to change at some point (the end of the map).

Nothing else on that map. Maybe the flies and gbags at the start tend to spawn a bit slowly, but that's not really that bad since it kills off the rushers when they try to come back to get a rest, and I'm all for killing rushers.

Mesopheric:
- Is the green text to launch you triggered by proximity to the door? If yes that can be bothersome if nobody approaches it :P
