Invisible trees? I've cycled through dxlevels 70, 80, 90, 95, & 98; the only thing I noticed was that lower levels (80-) utilise force fading models on static props. I'll assume that's what you meant (if it's the whole dilemma of loading a map and the trees fail to load and are replaced with the pulsing ERROR models, then I don't know what to do other than suggest that you clear your cache and re-join the server / restart TF2).

Restarting TF2 works, whenever I change my dxlevel; my Console gets bombarded with loads of red text about how some models fail to load, and in the screenshots I showed the trees are entirely invisible, that's what I meant.

I planned to have 3D trees, but had to regress back to 2D trees for reasons I've stated earlier. Render distances, Level of Detail, radius culling (env_fog) only have so much use before going to shít and everything resulting in one heap of trash. Large open spaces are already a big no-no for the source engine; therefor, knowingly disregarding this drawback has its deficits. Having 3D trees tanks the overworld framerate; as it is the map averages around 78fps in a full scene on my machine with max settings and 1 user (myself, I have no idea what it's like with 32/32).

Well you can only do too much, I do not request much, it wont matter either way I cannot play but, I guess having 2D trees' for the best, I appreciate the work that you've done though, not that my appreciation means anything; I just view your efforts as impressive, and the fact that you still are tweaking the map for the better and listening to peoples' requests is too much for 1 person, not many creators take the privilege to waste their time with people who request too much.

I'll look into sorting out the physical properties of the trees, but the 2D properties will stay. I'd rather keep the visible polygon count under control. $alphatest "1" & $nocull "1" is an efficient detail with geometry and lighting for this particular situation.

I guess it's inevitable; but you know what's best for your map and not anyone else, so keep up the good work, h☻ p p y b o y s.

1.) Trees do not have model-bound physics, however; trees are encompassed by clip brushes to block movement but allow projectiles.

That is buggy, sometimes-on the new Goldenrod- I change my dxlevel then join, the trees are invisible, and I can see through them and there aren't any models for them, the b3_goldenrod's trees are alot better in my opinion.

2.) Trees will remain 2-Dimensional as it cuts down on resources with the overall polygon count in the map [the autumn trees are 2D/3D and have clip collision placed at the trunk]

Yeah it is better for making the map, but I do not prefer those trees in terms of game play, Ecruteak's trees have a square around them, and you can see through the edge but can't shoot, and the new Goldenrod's can be shot through, and that is really annoying, especially for when it bugs out.

Oh wow, that is...

Impressive to say the least, well done; oh and I have a question, will the trees in Ecruteak be the same?

They're both finished, polished maps that play differently and have differences so yes I totes do. Plus goldenrod v2 and ecruteak were made for us by a member of the community, so once he got them finished enough we added them.

They do play differently I can't say otherwise, but the concept is the same, the buildings are shaped differently and there are tighter spaces here and there, different indoors, but the main idea is the same, no new additions other than different indoors.

and it sounds like you think the people want 24/7 goldenrod, "perhaps because they think they're meant to stay and that's how the server works", I would be SO DOWN

No, I mean people think the rotation will and always will be the same as it is right now, and can not be changed, besides I would love a 24/7 Goldenrod, not everyone would, although I wouldn't mind if there's another map, it wouldn't be 24/7 Goldenrod, but at least when the server restarts it goes back to Goldenrod, so like Goldenrod is the default map, sure another map would not be a disappointment, unless the trees are the same as Ecruteak's, in that case I'd rather stick with Goldenrod.

nah, whether you enjoy the pokemon map rotation we have or not, all of the maps in it are, finished products, with the polish and everything. we have a much higher level of map in our pokemon rotation than say, TGH. adding a map that is nowhere near up to par with the rest, for the sole reason of "we don't have enough" is dumb. if the maps on the server were bad, you wouldn't be dumping so much time into them, which people will continue to do whether we add more maps or not. had we had low quality maps on the server since the beginning, we wouldn't have the population we do now.

So, you think having different versions of the same map is "up to par with the rest"?

Yeah people still come to the server, for the map or something else I do not really know, but most people do not really care for the maps, perhaps because they think they're meant to stay and that's how the server works, not the regulars though.

It is just my opinion after all, whether it is wrong or right, I am just stating my opinion on the subject, and I think a new map should be added rather than have 2 of the same map but different versions.

Wow I never thought a staff would go as far as to make a thread changing the map rotation, I am so glad someone did; the new Goldenrod is really bad and Ecruteak isn't enough, I don't know what "pkmn saffroncity b3 (Team Fortress 2)" is but, anything that isn't a remake of a map that's in the rotation is good, not necessarily good but a change is for the best.

But I have to agree with Bagel, the map is too small, very inconvenient.

Perhaps a better Pokemon map would be the preferable choice, if there is one that is.

I have no idea why more and more staff are either leaving, or stepping down.

Unless they explain why in their thread. :|

whole reason for what? The thread? or your comments?

What I mean is, all the things that led up to this are childish.

how else would you use ez or rekt? How wouldn't that taunt someone

Those are such stupid binds to have, my stupidest bind is my toxic lenny, I don't bind those things and if I would I wouldn't even use them as the same is with the lenny it's toxic, even for me now.

but it still wasn't appropriate, the guy was talking about a tragedy and many found it distasteful.

I've resolved the issue with him personally.

I don't see how that is relevant. That's a separate issue that was resolved and no reason to go into so i'm sorry if i don't see your point.

My point is that he did pretty much close to same thing, said things on the forums, in a joking matter, but were despicable, and for that reason he got a member protest, not the same as a ban, but something negative, not for the community for the one getting the accusations.

The only reason I am actually trying to respond is because the whole reason is for childish things, because of playing the game, the origins of everything that's happened so far with me is not being friendly, most people I know that are "tryhards" get the same issue but they've not been active as much as I am so that explains why I might ruin the Clan's reputation, it's honestly not something great for me to spread, I got banned for killing people and responding to their slurs, and being stubborn, I guess I do not learn from my mistakes as I did get banned 5 times, all of which are from disrespect, and I will try to deliver my message to a point, even though I am most certain that all odds are against me, and will be probably, but all I can say is that it was fun while it lasted.

I'm going to try and keep this as civil as possible. You've always been disrespectful even before I was staff. I'm no knight in shining armour but when you say "you never start fudge" you know as well as everyone here that's a blatant lie.

Last time I checked you and Matsi were the ones starting shit on the servers, on Pokemon, I have no proof as it's been a long time and I have no screenshots, but if you're not gonna lie you're gonna stay true to this, you and Matsi blandly said this "how did he get those points he's not even that good" and back then I wasn't even talking to you all I did was kill, and that's the reason for everything to lead to this day, and back on TGH where Kypari was there and I kept killing you, you said, without me saying anything, something about me seeing the sun or something claiming that I have no life as I stay inside and I have never seen the sun, you know that, and if you don't, fine, but I know it and that's what matters, even though I have no proof, and I know I was gonna get this sooner or later.

No i do not. which one?

The Dog fucking and the handy helping and the furry stuff, I'd rather not get into detail...

That's not what i'm saying, what i'm saying is that what you said can make it sound like your serious, especially if it's around people you don't know.

Me and OhStopYou are well acquainted with each other as friends, the only person who that statement of yours can fall true to is Snowy Minion, where that I can't say anything about because it's entirely my fault, and I admit, I do not know that person and I should've not said that but I said it and I can't change it, otherwise I don't think I've told anyone I didn't know on the forums anything rude, or offensive.

I don't know this thing, i'm assuming it was in shoutbox, if then he can explain what happened but even then, is it worth it? It's an avatar, there's no reason to retaliate nor is there a reason to attack, on both sides. It just seem ludicrous that something like that would happen

You've hit the nail on the head, I got carried away with the fact that I've been accused with stealing and it's such a stupid subject to open in the shoutbox, I guess both me and Bach are wronged in this situation.

It doesn't matter what type of person you are, you have to have self control and let the admins handle it, and if they are turned against you, it's probably because you added to the fire by attacking back. That's the problem i'm telling you.

The only time I've tried to !calladmin is when it got out of hand, not in terms of chat, but exploiting, and it was someone by the name of "Mister Jai" using the Loose Cannon in friendly mode, I did it 3 times, no response, I asked Dahk Chocolate to do something and he got a staff on, other than that moment I have never used !calladmin before, and I don't intend to do so as it seemed useless to me.

It's not nonsense if it's going to help you out and stop people from being a jerk to you.

Oh, that's not what I meant, I meant is I avoid the nonsense that is people trying to "troll" or "bully" me around.

that quotes means, if you fling fudge, fudge will be thrown back, and if you don't want it thrown back at you, then don't throw it in the first place, that quote is not telling you to fight back it's telling you to be the better person and treat others with respect, if others don't then you ignore it or call someone.

What I understood from it is if you treat someone in a certain way they'll treat you back in that way, or should do so as I did not look deep into it as most of the rules are basic and straight to the point.

but you've been banned multiple times for it and you just said you attack people back if they fudge talk you. You don't deserve anything bad happen or said to you, but when it happens, it doesn't hurt to have people help you.

Most of the time I have friends to help me, mostly not staff but they defend me, and I appreciate that, but the times with Kypari were my fault as I indeed intended to make him angry as we were having some friendship problems, glad that's over now.While I don't want to trashtalk people, I just defend my self by trashtalking back, I don't start things I don't want to end, I end things I don't want to start, for most situations.

When you say ez, or get rekt and fudge like that, you are starting fudge, saw you do this time and time again for no reason when you were more active on the server. You are essentially putting someone down and, it hurts their ego, i don't understand how you think this wouldn't get people upset.

Which servers? Most of the time on Pokemon I do it in self defense, as someone insults me or has insulted me, or said the same to me, I kill them and say the same, and stop, they do it again, I keep doing it untill they either go to !friendly mode or ask me to stop, and if I don't I probably have a good reason to do so as I haven't done it alot in my memory of recent times.

but you're just adding flames to the fire, if you keep repeating what people say about you, people are bound to agree, especially if it's in a taunting matter just delete the binds, there's no reason for them to be there.

Most of them are hysterical, they're funny and use them when everyone's having a good time, they don't act as reminiscent times of me being beat down by those words, but they're something to look back and laugh at, most of the people who said that don't even show up as they aren't regulars and most of the regulars I'm friends with, I try to avoid the overly offensive ones such as the racial slurs and other things that might be offensive to others, I don't use the binds to taunt others as I can't, and if I can I wont, if I were to taunt someone I do it by killing them that's all, if they say something as rekt I do the same.

i have honestly not seen you say that once. I'm looking at chat logs in tgh and all the way back to april 10th, i don't see it said once.

I have never said it in TGH and that's fact as I don't get as much kills on those maps, I do sometimes say it on Pokemon if someone doesn't say it before me.

i have honestly no idea what you're trying to say, sorry.

What I'm trying to say is, is that most people view my lack of cosmetics as something to get them to get angry as most people insist on good players having hats, and that's something I can stand on as I've been told alot that I am a troll for not wearing cosmetics, plus the Gibus is most viewed as the "troll" cosmetic.

No, you were banned for the same reason this post is up now. Disrespect, to say they were stupid is incredibly ignorant and shows you haven't matured. It's frustrating to get banned but you need to understand why you did and how you can improve. That's the reason bans happen but if you fail to improve then consequences get worst.

I mean the reason behind the disrespect, as me and Kypari fighting about something stupid, and other stuff in that matter, not the actual reason as disrespect or any other.

Like, treat people the way you want to be treated. And you've been treating people like fudge for like 2 years meow. You've also had your fair share of warnings and at this point you should know just to walk away from the situation. If you really wanted to stay in this community, you would have done that. But you're too busy keeping your pride and trying to start/continue the fight.

Here's the thing, I never start shit, I'm always on the other end of the story, I don't try to flame it, I prefer to not be considered someone who has a lack of personality and just sit on the bench while people kick my AMAZING INTERNET PRIDE around, it's not a big of a deal but I'm not the guy to back down from a situation, not when I didn't start it.

You know, retaliation has gotten a lot of people in trouble in this clan. Like how kitty got demoted for retaliating. This isn't going to help you.

Oh so I should've kept silent where Bach is trying to get me to say something, it wasn't an argument started by me, by him, when he said something about my "cancerous" version of his profile picture when I didn't know he had it, I looked up Macho Man on Google Pictures, looked nice, imported it into Photoshop edited it with a duck beak and done, what's cancerous about it is not showing, I'd like @Bach to shed some light on me, since it's my fault apparently.

Well, i mean many people don't really know you and at times inappropriate for some threads, many people see that you got banned for disrespect and assume you are serious. Your intentions may be just joking but you need to recognize that not everyone sees it like that.

Well you remember that Matsi incident don't you, even though I've got more warnings before, but I haven't been too serious about what I say on the forums, I don't attack, or do I try to, I try to be cynical and my way is too offensive and I know that, but nothing I said was in bad intentions, and when Bach commented about my avatar, I didn't steal it, because firstly it isn't his, it's a picture not made by him, and secondly I was defending myself from what he said, I retaliated when it was over.

I get this fudge too, but at the same time you just gotta ignore them or call an admin. There's no point in responding back if they are just gonna act like man children, everyone here including my self had to deal with that fudge and we all need to get better with it, but your remarks are pretty mad and can go over board. if you see someone calling you fudge just get an admin or record and make a thread. I do agree that people need to calm down especially on trade servers.

I am not usually the type of person to call an admin, and if I do it's usually turned against me so I prefer not to, I try to avoid that nonsense but there's a percentage a human can take, a sensible person would do something about it and my reaction is fighting back in the way they attack, there's a rule that says treat people the way they want to be treated, I do just that when they treat me in a certain matter, I'm not the type of person to have a long-tempered finger tip that doesn't burst flying over the keys attacking like the keyboard warrior people claim I am.

Not but you're instigating. You think people aren't going to get upset when you bring the bantz over and over and over again? That gets incredibly tiresome.

I never start things, why do people start things they don't want to finish it's not my fault they want to prove themselves superior than me, and think I'm gonna watch someone "diss" me on the internet, it's ridiculously stupid that I would stand for them doing that, I don't get upset when they say something offensive to me, but I can use that statement against the people too, most of my binds are quotes of people sending hate, there's more but I don't have enough space on my keyboard, and even then I don't complain I use it as a joke, as how I get hate by just playing the game, nothing more nothing less, if I wear hats I'm a show off, if I don't I'm a troller, what is it then?

but you try to bait people into fricking with you, myself included. Plus with all the chances you're given, it's hard to think your serious.

How do I "bait" them? by killing them? in the game? while I say "use the !friendly mode" like any other logical person would do or even a staff member would, I still get hate, is that baiting? if I wear a gibus, or don't wear a hat is that baiting? and the chances you mean the times I got banned before? most of the reasons were stupid, and I don't bother making a post against it as most the people I got banned by are now friends with me, Bello Waldi and Kypari, rest in peace Kypari.

First off, I'll start by saying most of the stuff on the forum's satire, none of it is in intention of making any hate, nor flame any war or something in that fashion.

Secondly, my actions on the server are so out of context, you see I always get shit for playing the game, and quite frankly I do not sit there and just read all the people hating for me playing, and when I say "get rekt" and "ezpz" I am pretty sure that isn't disrespect, for most of the other stuff, It's usually because I get told that I am either not good, or that I am a hacker, either way I never start things out of the blue, and yet again I state this one more time, most of the stuff is satire and out of context in the chat, in-game chat.

Na na na na, Na na na na na

About time, why wasn't this made earlier?

I have not seen what happened on the Forums but definitely on the servers, he's just a part of xG's toxicity, not all xG, Snackbar4Johnmadden.
