I'm fine with no air and no tanks, but wouldn't mind seeing more cars placed about the map.

I guess I would like to see more obstacles in general and shit to use as cover, like those concrete barrier things I mentioned.

And maybe some type of permanent bases equally placed from the proto so there is always action going down there.

I like that the map hasn't had the shit modded out of it, so maybe my additional bases idea would be too much, as I wouldn't want to compromise the balance between useful stuff and pointless crap that ruins beautiful Mesa, as it's just right, currently

Oh, and since it's a training map, maybe add the small proto somewhere so we can practice fighting in that one, as I personally feel like I lack a lot of experience in fighting within the alternate proto (we can edit the TAC launcher price so as to eliminate the chances of nuke spam).

Want to thank Verrater for the hard work on the SCRIM map. And for spending a couple hours going through it and listening to the many suggestions
for possible improvements.

Before too many mods (and I agree on Vehicles and Cover and suggested several others) we should play test it a bit more to identify particularly good and bad
items.

I love the bottomless pit outside proto personally...... but understaind it may not be for everyone.

ps. I am starting a beer fund collection for V to thank him for the hard work.

Bigvisk · November 15, 2009 at 11:51 AM

i liked it, could use more cover, and without a warfactory, more humvees, but other than that, it was pretty cool.

XVerraterX · November 16, 2009 at 3:18 AM

Thanks for all the comments everyone and to everyone for helping with suggestions. If more people could join the map it would help quite a bit, as more input is always a good thing, and the more people the more likely people will find bugs. I will work on adding some more cover to the map and definitely more vehicles. In fact I might go start on that right now, even if everyone could give one suggestion that would help.

@evil

You thought the same thing i did about the alternate proto. When i first started making this map i had the alternate proto where e4 is, but took it out as it didn't look right. I'll try and find a place for it. Maybe even make another training area.

@Felix Thanks for the compliments it's nice to know the work is appreciated. If you have any suggestions don't be afraid to send me a message.

@Visk

Thanks i already fixed some o the suggestions and should have v2 out soon!

Thanks to everyone again

New download link. This version will not work until the server is updates with the new map. but you can download it and take a lock by puting it in the correct directory.
Then typing con_restricted 0 in the console
then: sv_gamerules powerstruggle
then: map scrim

Build notes:

added vehicles
added cover
fixed hole issue
replaced us spawn building within proto with an empty building
added one time vtol (it will not respawn)
allowed acces to hangar roof
removed bloackades from side of proto building
fixed nuke blocker to that you can not notice it outside of a vehicle
fixed several other minor issues
modified the opening text and image to add story credit and website info
and cleaned up the look of the us and nk base

XVerraterX · November 16, 2009 at 4:29 AM

I need opinions on a war factory whether or not to have one and where to put it. I'm gonna go with one neutral one, but i have no idea where to put it or if to have one at all.

Thanks

NecessaryEvil · November 16, 2009 at 8:07 AM Official Post

Sweet. Looking forward to checking it out.

I'll be sure to add it to the server soon.

Bigvisk · November 16, 2009 at 11:50 AM

downloading it now.

Bigvisk · November 16, 2009 at 8:31 PM

let us know when its up on the server

edit* apparently it is up on the test server, im in it now. i like the sniper house on top of the center hill. you should put one on the other two large hills.

still should have more cover, and more diverse cover than just the sandbags.

XVerraterX · November 16, 2009 at 8:43 PM

fixed sandbag issue
fixed several smaller bugs

Bigvisk · November 16, 2009 at 8:57 PM

also, like the rocket launcher on top of the building in proto area. you sohuld make it respawn occasionally.

MistaD · November 17, 2009 at 12:29 AM

I tried Version 3 but it did not work. Every time that I tried to spawn (at base) I instantly died.

Simply Awesome V!

Let's fire this bad boy up and give it a firefight test.

V your a legened...(was gonna say more but i think that covers it)

XVerraterX · November 18, 2009 at 1:08 PM

Thanks boys, you can try it out by yourself before its up on the server by downloading it and setting up your own server for one person. Should be pretty easy.

What should we name the new osf map? 0
