Erdenberg Test 1 - mapper needed for performance fix

[Nanaa]

https://et.trackbase.net/map/6862/

"It's a first test version, not intended for public servers."  -sani (Mapping & Creation)

 

So map has no vis / occluders inside walls. That's what I also thought.

Is there any mapper or ex-mapper here who'd like to fix this? Test 1 was released over 11 years ago so we can safely assume that the original dev won't fix it.

Posted on ETL's Discord and it started discussion there: https://discord.com/channels/260750790203932672/710411372571262997/926435778224087060

It's a bit bigger job since there is no source for Test 1 so it has to be adapted from version B3. But it's doable.

Would love to have Erdenberg properly fixed. It is one of the best maps on the server after all. I hope someone can help out.

Yeah, let's hope so. It's by far the laggiest map.

Casted a rod at ET Mappers discord too: https://discord.gg/rbVXZ7y5kr I have have high hopes we'll find a volunteer there. If not, I'll try to look if I can fix it myself (no exp though).

Aciz has already been very helpful on Discord by listing what's needs to be done. But he's a ETL dev so he might be too busy for this.

Okay, we might have a mapper to fix some of it:

Kommandant is one of the ET Mapping discord's admins. He wants to finish the discord server before that though.

TBH, i dont really have much EXP when it comes to fixing Performance Issues with Maps.

I mean sure i can check the Map in General but often its down to poor scripting, and thats sadly not my strong Part.

Update from Kommandant:

Sooner or later, I'll finish the Erdenberg project. There will be some minor differences between the new and original test versions, but these shouldn't cause any problem. I've seen only vis related issues so far. If there isn't anything else, that should be changed or fixed, then I'll upload the new files here.

Good let us know if we need to test something. Normally we ll test things on oue test server or etl2 before we add updates on etl1

It's ready for testing! @Dmxj

EDIT: I see some issues when loading with devmap. Grass texture is missing. There is one weird block on the road. Some warnings and errors in console (same as on t1 though). Otherwise looks like the adaptation from b3 to t1 to t2 was successful.

@Dmxj Second try ready for testing on server:

Everything looks to be in order

EDIT: Wait there is something Aciz wants to be fixed

Iam not in that discord channel

If u or @Aciz has some news/updates please send us the pk3 files so we can test it on etl2 + test server.

Thanks m8!

@Dmxj Okay third time is a charm 😁

From Kommandant:

This is the latest version, which seems to be fine on bot ETL and 2.60b:

• Terrain works now (thanks to Aciz)
• Additional models/entities/brushes (from b3) are removed
• Replaced some faulty clips
• Rewrote some file names, so sounds are ok no
• Improved performance (vis should be fine)

Please make sure you remove all of the previously downloaded t2 versions in order to avoid texture leaks

Great i'll try it tonight on our test server.

I guess it's still good with the old waypoints we had from pervious versions?

If everything works fine bots + map i'll upload it to etl2
