Yavin_Temple 2.3 is now live on SoL EU & US servers! Enjoy and feel free to report bugs and/or constructive feedback.

Thx, Abrum!

Sweet. I'd move the spawn points but idk how. xD (since there is only a few all in the middle of courtyard).

Yeah, spawns really need to be fixed.

I don't know what was done with the spawns, but I went to US server and saw all the bots fighting in one small space, it immediately dropped my fps to 30-50, it wasn't very laggy but enough to slow my game considerably. When are the bots respawning massively on small space, it is killing my fps in that area but it may be killing the fps for me elsewhere (I was teleporting around map and my fps didn't pass 90 fps).

I am just saying that with these compressed spawn points there may be fps problem (that ofc doesn't pertain situations with little to no bots on server)

EDIT: also when people are dueling on courtyard, it may not feel comfortable when other people keep respawning between them, I would suggest the spawn points move more like to corners of courtyard

Plans for 2.4:

• Move the new plants in Temple to corners, so as to allow strafing in Temple from one side to another.
  
• Make Temple door silent.
  
• Add a larger delay to Temple door lock trigger, so that admins don't accidentally re-unlock it right after locking it.
  
• Move one or both of the flags to new locations. (???)
  
• Move spawnpoints from the center of Courtyard to sides and corners of the walls in Courtyard.
  
• Patch the glitches that let people go to the void! (this makes CTF unplayable!)
  
• (???)
  

Please post any other updates you want to see in 2.4.

A note to admins: Some people expressed ill feelings towards the slow Force-regen rate in CTF, I'm not sure if this is an accident or if it's what you want (if so then no worries ).

Also, credits in first blog post have been updated to include SoL Members.

Thx Abrum, especially for the spawn points

Map updated to 2.4! Restored original spawnpoints, made the temple door silent and removed the plants that made strafing across the temple annoying. Also made the trigger for the temple doors wait a little bit longer between triggering so that admins don't accidentally open the door again immediately after closing it. As with all releases, the map is at the top of this blog, available to download. The source code is also available. Long live JK2!

Ai lav u

Guys quickly, drop all the karma u have on Abrum´s last post!

What's the point of making the temple door silent ?

+ Suggestion for next version, maybe add an E-11 blaster spawn point in training room by office door ?

Even though Abrum puts a giant door in front of the temple door, the temple door will still open/close when people gets close to it, and listening to that all the time is quite annoying

BDL likes clanging lol

I'm all for making ATS Bespin Streets open source, and making it into both ATS and SOL credits.

Really good times, I kind of miss that version of the map. ^4*digs around in his old files*

you forgot to open up a console

now only if our HC's weren't so lazy and update our server when the activity is done, cough cough night on US

Done.

Btw, when you removed the plants, the collision box stayed. lol

Hah! On it.
