Map Testing - August 10, 2008

Hi all, 9 new uploads and 10 collected maps were tested tonight. 4 maps have been approved.

-- LR-yoyo_10 --
- The railing up the slope isn't enough to see the left turn on the right-most route. (raz0)
- unpredictable vehicle changes (Knuckles)
- .. maybe put a building in the road so you can see from far away that you can't go further. (raz0)
- Small CPs up to CP60 ([O.o]Alpha)
Voted yes: 1 / Voted no: 3
* Map deleted *

-- [SAS]BIG_RACERS_2006_(shorter) --
- i rly liked the last part with banshee in the old version but meh :x (Cygnus)
- I have no idea what changed to be honest.. I would need to play the original first and see (Knuckles)
- Highway racing is indeed boring, but so is boat racing (and almost in a straight line!) :( (raz0)
- as raz0 just said before me (Knuckles)
- The squalo part sucked ([O.o]Alpha)
- The boat racing took longer than the infernus end. Don't think it's justified. (raz0)
- maybe just change the road to something better instead of just the highway (with the banshe (Knuckles)
- Perhaps just end the race before the boat part? It's long enough already. (raz0)
- Or have some way of short-cutting to the banshee part to make Cygnus happy. :p (raz0)
Voted yes: 1 / Voted no: 3

-- Isle --
- CP 25-26 was a bit confusing for a moment. (raz0)
- Minor thing: Very long run to first jump at the start. Why so long? :) (raz0)
- Cosmetic nit-picking: still a lot of small gaps in the road to see right through to the sea (raz0)
- Don't really like your way of placing CPs *around* corners instead of *at* them, like CP 36 (raz0)
Voted yes: 4 / Voted no: 0
* Map approved *

-- MTA --
- I hate the early infernus part ([O.o]Alpha)
- Agree (raz0)
- still as chaotic as before, long bike part won't split people at all (Knuckles)
- Spawned inside the ramp at the stuntplane CP ([O.o]Alpha)
- the stuntplane change at the airport = no no, was better before (Knuckles)
- Me too! (raz0)
- 9/10 times you die at the stuntplane changer ([O.o]Alpha)
- Nit-picking: Move CP 36 to the corner. (raz0)
- i missed the cp37 jump twice in a row while full speed (Knuckles)
- cp7 still is a major problem, better delay the infernus change until the highway is reached (Cygnus)
- 3 times* (Knuckles)
- The jump doesn't launch you high enough at CP 37 ([O.o]Alpha)
- cp31 needs to be red (Cygnus)
- Add more CPs between CP 36 and 37 ([O.o]Alpha)
- Thanks for the fences stopping people from going round the stadium .. which you almost always HAVE to do ([O.o]Alpha)

- Wish there was a way of cutting at CP 23. (raz0)
- Chances of overtaking on this race *ever* are slim. (raz0)

Voted yes: 3 / Voted no: 1
* Map approved *

-- THE-jumper-in-the-GrandCanyon --
- Hate the start ([O.o]Alpha)
- bikes + falling + landing on bad angle = lost of control = teh shit (Knuckles)
- confusion at cp24 and 40: no arrow (Cygnus)
- start is annoying in sanchez, maybe switch to sandking? (Cygnus)
- now that would be fun (Knuckles)

- cp37 sudden turn (Knuckles)
- Why are all the airport pieces placed so there's a lot of small drops? ([O.o]Alpha)
- Is a few repairers too much to ask for? ([O.o]Alpha)
- To sum this up, a lot of sudden unexpected turns and ending up in walls or items most of the time (Knuckles)
- unfair starting positions (Cygnus)
