You'll have to be a bit more specific...

Which one even is Desolation? Can't remember if I've ever actually played it.

Probably because people are always voting kakariko, ph manor and redstone. The below is the desolation we've been using (and much better in my opinion, from mapping and lighting point of views). The new one which is only on one server that I know of, other than SH now. While its the same size, it has more shit in it. For sure it makes running as a prop easier, though not many more hiding spots are added. That could be fixed w/clipping adjustments. The lighting on this new one is pretty bad in that it reveals a lot more than the old one.

I just now noticed the update for desolation, and am not happy about it.  I find that the older version is faaaaar better than the newer version.  (Same goes for the older version of farm xD).  Ive played the newer version of desolation on gm before, and absolutely hated it.  Sure, there are more spots to hide, but more spots doesn't necessarily mean better (i.e. FARM).

why did it even get changed?

Probably the same answer to the question: why did they try to add ghostmode to ph?

Agreed. As I said, the lighting etc is much better on the previous version and the map seems more finished and less cluttered.

Marshii your new map doesn't have the cp bonus. It says it refreshes but nothing happens when you run over the cp.

It's because the CP is a prop_static; it has to be a prop_dynamic.

Didn't know that about these; would he be able to fix it easily?

Pretty fun map, I think mostly everyone enjoyed playing on it during a playtest of it.

There are two issues, one has already been mentioned in this thread.

• Cap point needs to be a prop_dynamic in order for the prophunt plugin to handle players touching it.
• Should throw some info_observer_point's around so that players who join in get a camera they can spectate through.

After those two get solved, it'll be ready for rotation.

Yes, open the map in hammer. Double click the control point. Find where it says prop_static. Highlight 'static'. Delete 'static'. Type in 'dynamic'. Hit enter. Hit apply. Done.
