Hi! I've been playing TF2 recently and wanted to interview you about your recent success with Hasstle Castle. If you are interested, please leave me a message!

I try my best, I'll tell you if I find any other bugs, but I doubt there's any more at this point.

Dude, thanks a lot, you've been a huge help.

Ok new very odd bug, if blue team are at their last spawn (AKA red's first spawn). there's still a spawn point active for Blu's first spawn. so you can be pushing last and then respawn at first.
Seems like a simple fix.

Thanks for adding those occluders to Hassle Castle, it really helps FPS a ton!
Unfortunately, I have one more thing to ask you to look into if possible.

If you remember in my first post I mentioned how the first point had weird frametime spikes. I seem to have narrowed it down to world brushes oddly enough, A little more investigation seems to point more towards the amount of visleafs in the PVS. Specifically around the spellbook and health pack that is under a tower of the castle (screenshot: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2252012414) .

It also looks like most of the first and second point's visleafs are visible from just about anywhere on first.

Hey there, just posting this here in case you don't see my friend request. Hassle Castle is a pretty cool map, but there's a small problem. Valve has slapped the "Kills with Pumpkin Bombs" contract on it, and the map has no pumpkin bombs. Please can you place some around the map so people can actually finish this contract. Thanks.

Congrats on Hassle Castle being accepted in-game !

Glad to hear it! Hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle setting those up.

Wow, you're right. Just decompiled it again using the new version and occluders look completely different. Still some problems when compiling Hassle Castle, but this makes it a lot easier to fix. Thanks a ton!

Ah I thought you created bloodwater as well, my mistake. You could try r_visocclusion on the original map, and it should give you a good idea of where they are. It works similarly to r_leafvis.

I also think map decompilers like BSPsource have gotten good enough to catch occluders better. In my experience with decompiling maps I haven't had issues with it, but it doesn't surprise me that it's an issue.

Yeah, the reason I, and probably Bloodwater's creator, removed occluders is that they were broken in the decompilation process and were causing errors to appear. So I took the noob's way out and simply removed them.
Guess I have to figure out what they were like originally from context clues.

Hi, I messaged you on tf2maps hoping you'd see it, but I guess not.

Anyway, I discovered that both Hassle Castle and Bloodwater don't have any occluders, which seems to be causing some really bad framerate issues (most noticeable on Hassle Castle). Considering both the original maps have really good ones, its odd that these do not.

I also checked the other new maps, and they also don't have occluders. I'm not sure whether you send the finished BSP or the VMF to valve and then they compile it (I.e. someone at valve messed up instead of you).

Also, me and some friends noticed that frametimes (how long it takes to render a frame, more accurate than fps) spike pretty consistently on Hassle Castle, mostly on First. Might be related to the previous issue?

And one last bug report, many of the buildings on Bloodwater second that are visible from first get culled out despite still being visible.

Aside from the issues, I am really enjoying the maps, their style looks really nice!

I would usually build something over the doors to hide it, but in this case it's the best if the original door is used (idk if you did sth else)

You're right. But the actual func_door entity is also there, unrendered, and it does clip through the ceiling. But, because the door visible to everyone is a model, that hides itself in its animation, you can't notice it.

I'm not quite sure, but I think the original upward door is a model and opening it is just a model animation sequence, not an actual moving brush

It's actually in the original Upward as well. It's just the door there is not rendered.

I'm also a mapper (so far it's trade maps only) and I've once made the same mistake as well x)

Thank you for reporting this, I already fixed it.
