Deathrun Hell Map Rotation / Map Suggestions

Can we put a damage zone or something in the trail room of Wolfenstein? We need to somehow stop griefers from getting behind the motivator and wasting time.

The timer is generally the solution to this, but I've put a zone there regardless.

Thank you. The problem with the timer is that the motivator is so slow, the people are literally waiting there the whole round just to get behind him.

Here's a suggestion,

EDIT: I'm also working on a revamp of this map due to how ugly this map looks. 30% done

Looking forward to that. There should also be something that clues players into the fact that they should look up and follow the path for the invisible ramp section.

Added vsh_dr_gaytower_v2_fixed to the rotation.

(It's not v5 and it fixes problems with that version)

Also, new maps:

This one has a problem: once the trains go and people are behind, the people behind don't die. If you can't fix it with plugins, I'll open up hammer.

Use the Dead Ringer to get stuck here. It puts a kill zone all along the path of that trap, literally making it impossible to move forward.
Might wanna check the second sliding crate trap too.

On Gaytower you can Caber on the gate outside of spawn to the second level, thus skipping like 8 traps or something. There might be other parts where this is possible.

Noted for my revamp.

Updated vsh_dr_block_v4 to vsh_dr_block_v6.
Added vsh_dr_universe_v4 to the rotation.

Unfortunately it still didn't fix the biggest issue: the awful usage of poorly networked entities. Luckily we have a plugin that fixes that by just removing them.

This map is missing some textures, and is also suffering from poor networking issues. Namely a large overuse of func_tracktrain entities.

In this case, however, a plugin can't simply fix this, as the tracktrains are required for one of the traps. The solution would be to entirely rework the trap to not use them.

That would definitely be better fixed through the map, rather than a plugin.

I've disabled the caber on the map for now.

Should be fixed now, thanks.

I don't think the second crate trap has a large trigger_hurt attached to it, so it should be fine.

Second crate trap just flat out kills you it seems. So yeah, should be good.
Thank you Voidy.

Can you put a killzone or something on that first trap after the warp on Woods? It really can't kill anything as it is. And as short as the map is, that's pretty infuriating.

I can bring the tracktrains number down to 16 (Unnecessary tracktrains removed) 9 (No motivator+unnecessary) or 4 (Steve trap revised + the rest)

EDIT: I realized the problem. (maybe)
EDIT: I don't get the problem, explanation please?

Were we working on a fix for the moving platforms getting stuck problem?
