Things like these make me hate having a euro timezone.

Testing for tonite is over,

I wanted to thank everyone for helping out in the testing.

Riverrock will have some balancing issues addressed (blu could not win) plus other odd clipping stuff. Some of the buildings "may" be adjusted. I know every one wants more pick ups..seamed hard to find any during combat...and the combat WAS messy.. body parts every where

Mesa was looking good. Seamed liked most of the issues were players getting caught on edges. will need to look at the player clip volumes a little. i know the railings need to be clipped more (clipping is a way to keep players from entering places they should not through invisible volumes). It played very similar to current mesa. I think i need to add some respawn time to the losing team to help the attacking team over come the "stalemate" situations.

Again, thanks to eGO admin and everyone that took part of the testing.

For checking the time I use the age old website of www.timeticker.com
I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to check timezone time.

i work with enough people out of my timezone that i can just do the conversions in my head from my own time.

and this helps

Event was fun! Great job on Mesa 2. Liked the rolling walkways up to L and C. Made travel time a lot shorter and the healthpacks came in handy!

I still think headcrabs running around is funny, but they always follow me for some reason...

When the cart turns into the mine shaft, I feel like the turn is too sharp and easy to defend for red. Also, as red, you can rocket jump above blu spawn. There's a little spot where you can see into their spawn. I didn't get a chance to see if I could shoot in there or not.

And that waterfall... was amazing <3

As for Black Mesa... there's no way you're going to get me to stop camping the vents, even with those lights on the red side

you can get above blue spawn but you cant shoot in there is glass in the way of the main windows and a invisible brush in the other.

and actually the current waterfall is a place holder while we figure out a way to get better visibility threw the waterfall and when i find the time to model a proper one that isnt so dam blocky.

got any other suggestions or issues? i fixed some clipping issues on the cliffs since that play test and fixed shadows and collisions on a few rocks since than too but haven't done much else on stage 1 since that test.
