Project "Station Iowa"

[Apprentice]

The things I've found within the map:

• Some Jeffreytubes transport entities aren't working as they should. Most likely is the following console dump part of the reason/problem
  

  func_door_rotating at (6948 5268 1710) with no distance set.
  func_door_rotating at (6948 5268 1710) with no distance set.
  trigger_transporter doesn't have a spawn function
  ui_transporter doesn't have a spawn function
  trigger_transporter doesn't have a spawn function
  ui_transporter doesn't have a spawn function
  trigger_transporter doesn't have a spawn function

• One of readyrooms has a forcefield texture rather then a metallic one for the "blast door"
• A hell of a lot missing LCARS textures, especially in OPS but throughout the station/Federation ship
• I wasn't able to find any red or blue alert buttons. Yellow is present and the entities for red and blue are also present, but no buttons . . .
• The height of the ceilings are a bit too low for my taste, especially the corridors. It feels cramped, almost claustrophobic and the idea of such a map, is to create a feeling of grandness. Otherwise a smaller station would've sufficed and you wouldn't have gone through all the trouble . . .

Thanks for your feedback.

Here are some of my thoughs about bugs/problems you described:

• the only reason that spawn functions for entities ar missing is that you don't have the latest rpgxEF VM which has many new updates (includeing trigger_transporter and ui_transporter). These new entites don't have anything to do with the jeffries tubes though. The name of the last build is RPG-X 2.1 Beta 8.1 Munich X.
• the forcefield texture in admin's ready room is intended
• the map uses LCARS from poseidon_a and rpg_atlantis
• missing func_usables are a sign that brushent limit was reached but station iowa does not exceed rpgxEFs limit of 512 brushents. No idea what might be causing this

Got the latest version (you really should add dates to the filenames) and the only thing I got in the console now are:

func_door_rotating at (6948 5268 1710) with no distance set.

• the forcefield texture in admin's ready room is intended

Perhaps an idea to change that into a more glass like texture with a honeycomb pattern ??

• the map uses LCARS from poseidon_a and rpg_atlantis

Also an idea to include those textures within the PK3 repository ??

• missing func_usables are a sign that brushent limit was reached but station iowa does not exceed rpgxEFs limit of 512 brushents. No idea what might be causing this

Found them already, but since I don't see any textures and the tricorder isn't much help with smaller usables, it does become tricky . . .

Doesn't work. Even with developer set to 0, the "0's" still appear on screen/in console . . .

Hmm..i don't get on the Server. There's a problem with the Class Set or something. :/

[Apprentice]

Any other way to download zrpgx_addons_v2.pk3 rather then through the game ??

[GSIO01]

We have just removed all the addons and restarted the server.

Although I haven't tested RC3 yet I have to say, that this is an awesome RPG-X map and one of the best ever created for it. However, I agree, that the OPS is a bit empty and sterile.

Oh, and the reason why I haven't tested RC3 is: Whenever I connect to a server running this version of Iowa I get the following error: "ERROR: Bad cgame system trap: 200".
I have the newest engine and VM installed and I can connect to all other maps on the specific server. Does anyone have any idea as to the reason of this?

cgame system trap 200 is trap_R_RemapShader ... which is the function that tells the engine to remap a shader to another one. The only reason why this error would come up would be an VM version that has shader remap with an engine version that does not have it ... as you said ther're both up to date I have no idea why you would get this error.

why ins't there a Co's chair inside OPS ?
and how do you open the weapon storage in engineering?
