Horrible Map Was Horrible =/
If someone were to re-make it then it would have to be our resident Rogue Sniper, because we all know that if there is a map in a source game, then Rogue Sniper made it.
With working games like dodgeball and Jump-Rope, that would be nice as well.

Your first statement borders on ignorance. Leoben was by far the most creative and fun map I ever played. Every fond memory I have of jail that fills me with warm fuzzies takes place in Leoben. It is the default setting for all that is righteous in the world. I also strongly believe in Phase's mapping skills, if it weren't for his lack of motivation to recreate the greatest map of all time (of all time). That being said, I'm not opposed to someone else helping in the process. I just want Leoben back in my life, hence the petition.

Face it, the map was broken, the dodgeball and jump-rope games didn't work half the time and the obstacle course would glitch people into it.
Which led to Death-Run every round etc. If the map can be made with all these problems fixed, then I'm all for it. But again some help is going to be needed to fix issues and that would come from the eGO mapping community, which mostly consists of Rogue Sniper.

Aye. It would be nice to see some other maps on. We should bring back all the old maps. Original Alcatraz and Failjail for the win!

LOL original alcatraz... That was just mayhem.
But I have to agreee that Leoban was my favourite map. Perhaps the minigames weren't my highlight but it was the vastness and ease at which you could rebel. So many entrances to armoury, secret guns and just a whole load of games.
I see the point of the glitches. But it was terrorist heaven.
Wow, I see there is a lot of interest in me remaking the map. Looking at these suggestions I'm more than willing to hand it off for someone to remake (ahem Captain Nighthawk). There are two ways I can fix this map:
1. Completely remake the design - The major problem is the open layout and the fact that the source engine is terrible at rendering huge maps. I would need to completely rethink how the map is done. I might as well make a completely new map at this point albeit a bit easier since I have the course made already.
2. Box Stuff In - I would literally just start throwing up walls, reducing some textures in an effort to increase FPS for most players. This isn't pretty but it'll work.
I have not heard of any of these issues sent to me either through PM, forum posts or steam messages. If my memory serves me correctly both dodge/jump were fully functional. Additionally I have never heard anyone complaining about the obstacle course, if you could describe the problem that would be great. Red Serpent I would love to fix these problems.
I guess my general thought on Leoben being removed is:
Please contact the map maker if there are any problems. Rather than drop boxing a map and complaining about it please be proactive and get in touch with the map maker.
**************
Thank you all for your kind words and criticisms as they are all useful in helping create a good map. I'll think about it some more and I'll post about what I'm going to do later on.

Just basically, the problem with Dodgeball we all know, is people were able to stand in the cannon and not die, and whenever the game was set to fast or hard or whatever the setting was the dodgeballs would destroy themselves etc.
And jump rope same thing whenever it was set to high or hard you would have some type of glitch along the way where people would not die.
And as far as obstacle course I wouldn't call it a texture glitch per-se but people who ran the obstacle course at one point on the second floor area of it and one on the first people would get stuck inside the Yellow and Black wall's.
Those were all the glitches I could remember from the map.
Other then that things seemed to work nicely, only other complaint people ever had were FPS issues.

Lol Ble, that video is ancient!
Even on my new Rig I got low FPS on Leoben, Rogue Sniper has even told me he had spots where he got 40 FPS, And have you seen his Rig? It's God like

There's about 12 maps on the server. Just got to nominate a map you want played. The server's set to not allow the last played map to be nominated so its a 3 map rotation at minimum.

-Certainly, one of the most creative maps I've ever played. I'm sure there were lots of problems with the map, like jump ropes, disco spawn, cannon, etc... but it was a creative and fun map to play.
I'm no mapper, but I guess the optimization wasn't that great, causing it to lag and give people low FPS. Whenever I played Leobeon, it gave me around 20-30 FPS and I don't even have a great computer.
The only problem I have with the map is its way too big. If portals (like grand_marble) were created for shortcuts to each area, it would be perfect. Rather than, taking 1 minute for T's to shift walk to the pool from cell block.
Basically, I wish someone would remake this map and optimize it so everyone can play.
