Debate: Should N-Pulse Remain on the Classic Tab?

[SlikRick]

Apparently specifics are too much to ask for. Gmap breaking. What issues are you having with it? Specific details. How are we supposed to fix things that you are having issues with when you do not clearly state them? Your response seems to clearly get others going and to try and get under my staff's skin.

I don't believe that you are not aware of the issues, considering it took the grand total of 5 minutes for my map to break and it has been like this for years.

Was that so hard? Yes I am aware of this issue and we have been trying to come up with a solution on how to fix this, but haven't had any luck yet obviously. We have asked Tig to come on and help fix it, seeing as he was the one who converted everything over to gmap and reuploaded everything after it was done, but only answers we get out of him is "Consider it a learning experience for N-Pulse.". So we are supposed to know how to fix something when none of us have extensive Gmap troubleshooting experience, and the GDT who are supposed to be here to help servers just give smartass answers, are supposed to magicly get everything fixed? If any of you know how to fix this error or have an idea on something that might work, please feel free to contact me in game or send me a message on the Forums.

Redo the GMAP. Make it what you want it to be for your next project. Stick to that GMAP and you won't need many level designers.

Well, in all fairness, the reason I forced the map over to a gmap is because when v6 comes out, those text maps aren't supported. I wanted to give you guys plenty of time to prepare for v6 by converting your map to a gmap early. The only reason I actually converted it myself is because no other staff member knew how to do it.

Most of the problems you're experiencing can be fixed with some things as simple as LATs editing levels, and others (like npcs) are just as simple as an x/y offset.

I knew about these map glitches the day I started working on N-Pulse. Just yesterday I went to the places that Rufus was mentioning, one of which, was npulse_extra30.nw.

I can tell you now, it's not a simple x/y offset. If you see the glitch, and walk to it, then it turns into a completely different glitch. I'll upload a video to show you what I'm talking about. There's not a simple fix to this, as I've already looked into it, it's something that I'm not able to fix, nor any of the other staff on N-Pulse.

Your problem is most likely caused by not having added the levels properly or in right order in the .gmap file.
