Hi, I posted in the Gallery thread a few days ago, again I've been posting here a while but I left for a month or two. I want to start fresh with everyone since I'm not proud of who I was before, so I have a new account. And I forgot my password :P

Anyway I'm optimizing TSC Evolved tags to put in .maps, so everyone can play... and I already have my first release! Snow Grove Evolved. Pictures:

Its MPv2 Snow Grove but with Evolved tags, and redone lighting to look like the SPv3 Truth and Reconciliation demo. Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/fndb3gisvbqv9fd/snow_grove_evolved.zip

It would be be great if someone could host a game soon so I can test it, to make sure there's nothing I missed. I can't host because my connection is really bad for hosting, sorry. Remember its a .map, so you don't need Open Sauce to play! I don't want to submit to Halomaps until I know there are no crashes or anything.

I'm going to be porting Evolved tags to more .maps, maybe even campaign maps. If there are any requests feel free to ask, I know not everyone can get OS working and so they may not have got to try the TSC Evolved stuff yet.

It seems pretty cool I can't host cos my ugly pc but I'd like to taste it. :D

Thanks man! This is Awesome! Unfortunately I never got to play TSC:E or SPv3 because they would always freeze when I tried to launch them :P Keep up the good work! Looking forward to your other ports!

Nice looking stuff man, really looking foward to else you're going to do next.

Anybody prepares a server for this cool map :D

sure, why not. I'll keep it open, R93 Sniper's Personal Server.

Edit: Server down, rendering video and thoughts

Ok so here's the general thoughts of everyone who I was playing with
1: Map looks really pretty
2: Weapon placement could use some work
3: Starting weapon should not be the Plasma Rifle
4: Spawn points aren't really all that good
5: A lot of weapons are underpowered, the Assault rifle is the most efficient weapon, seconded by the spiker
6: Weapons don't really react as they should
7: Auto-Carbine = Bad. Spamtrigger Carbine = Good
8. A lot of lightmap errors in the bases
9. WHY CAN ROCKETS SPAWN AT THE BASE?
10: Make vehicles indestructible

So...

will somebody else open a server anytime soon? :D

looks like. HMR server will provide this map for weekend days :D

Please Release all TSC Evolved tags that will support for .maps :)

plse yes.

Seriously though, fix the player/weapon spawns and balancing, that ---- killed gameplay hard

The spawns are the same as old Snow grove, I didn't change any of them. If its so bad though can you give me an idea of how to change it? Some bad points to move or something? I'm not a MP mapping genius, that's why I'm focusing on porting the tags instead of making new maps or something.

The TSC Evolved manual said the Plasma rifle is the best all-puprose weapon, so that's why I made it the default. Should I make it the AR instead? I don't want to do BRs since then nobody uses anything else, unless its a power weapon.

Also I watched the video and you're using the Carbine up close, its meant to be a long range weapon. Why is the autofire so bad anyway? I'm not saying you're wrong I just don't want to start messing with balance, unless I have to, since I assume it's that way in TSCE for a reason. I thought it was fun to use in TSCE but maybe its not so good in MP

I remember someone saying how the new cmt tags were not balanced for mp and were recommended for sp use only, so perhaps some tweaks will make the weapons more useful

The Auto Carbine has always been insanely powerful up close, its probably the best weapon in Evolved other than lack of ammo, which is something that the weapons are designed to have.

Yes they are like this in FP and no it is not the lightmaps.
Not sure why the metals are sometimes like this.

reason I was using the carbine up close was because it was blisteringly useless at range. Also pistol cant zoom and makes me sad.
