Bigcannon and Forbidden Twilight maps

by **Wonko the Sane** Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:33 am

I've noticed some confusion over whether or not these maps crash the server, so I'll clarify for everybody. Smile

Firstly, the only one that actually crashed the server was Forbidden Twilight, and only if all the bots were in the game (Silly Tweedledee!).

And secondly, Bigcannon just sorta lags the server if the bots are in and/or there's too many players actually in the game. Best guess is maybe six or eight players, not including spectators, but the server won't crash, it will just lag the heck out of everyone.

So I've added a bit of a fix to the mod to try to compensate. Whenever somebody calls a vote for either of these maps, the bots are automatically thrown into spectator before it switches. This means no more accidental crashes for the Twilight map, and three more player slots for the Bigcannon map before the lag hits Very Happy

Any questions, post below! bounce

Hey does the term jetpack affect that lag? 'Cause I we were just playing on Bigcannon with jetpack and the server crashed or something. Like... I went into the cannon with the jetpack and the server crashed haha affraid
