Since we used the UGC version of swiftwater, maybe we can use the pro version of pl_barnblitz?
Here's the latest version.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/r4z8rtxqhyh2nsj/pl_barnblitz_pro4.rar
If you'd like to check this map out yourself you can do the following:
-Open up the .rar file
-Put the .bsp file into your maps folder (Steam>SteamApps>common>Team Fortress 2>tf>maps)
-Open up the console in TF2 (By default it's "`")
-Type "map pl_barnblitz_pro4" in console (Without the " ")
-Type "sv_cheats 1" in console (Without the " ")
-Type "noclip" in console (Without the " ")
By then you should be able to explore the map and come up with your decision.

I'm iShank and I approve this message.

Thank you, I'll take a look at it :)

Oh neat, I was browsing around for the right place to suggest the same thing and there's already a suggestion for it.
Is this still being considered? Because I just played this on a different server and it was great, blitz is one of my faves but the custom version is a fun improvement imo.
-
barnblitz pro posted by apple is far superior, especially at last bcause of the extra opening that makes the game less stalematy and more exciting.
-
YES pro version of pl_barnblitz MOO
-
Might make Barn Blitz a bit more enjoyable. How about a Trial run at least?
-
I'd like to see the pro version in rotation as well. I love the original overall but on a 32 player server that last stage just becomes too much of a choke. I really like that side opening in the pro version.
-
I wanted to bump this and see if we still have interest. One of my main gripes about the original is 4 engies can put an end to point 1, and with the changes made to Pro4, it's so much more balanced. Am also going to cross post in the Admin Lounge.
-
Agreed, Blu can roll the first 3 points of original barnblitz and have 10 minutes on the clock and be completely stopped on last because red has two level 3 sentries on last. Way to easy to defend with a few engies and demos. It becomes way to stalematey and just gets boring very quickly. Pro version is way more balanced and I think overall everyone would enjoy it if it were put into the payload server.
-
As I said in the admin lounge, count me in, if we're taking votes.

Does anybody have a link to the latest/current version of that modified barnblitz map?
No promises yet, we're still discussing it. We might give it a try for a week or two.
Concern: replacing yet another official map by a custom one might decrease player traffic even more. And I'm not talking about regulars. We always need random players to get the server started in the morning and late night.
-
I think we lose people with broken maps like barnblitz.
With the regulars we have, we'll basically turn away just about anyone with the stalemates on that last point. I don't think it will affect anything. We still have the important official maps like Goldrush and Badwater.
-
I'll add barnblitz pro to Payload server later this week.
If feedback is negative or we lose too much traffic because of it, we'll switch back to the official version.
-
I haven't forgotten about Barnblitz Pro, it's installed on the server, but there are issues with the map chooser plugin. We're using a custom made plugin, and it's been a bit buggy to replace the official barnblitz with the custom one, that's why it's taking longer than I planned.
I'll work on it again this week. I'll update this thread when I solved the problem.
-
When will Barnblitz Pro add to the rotation? The only time I get to play is to have Wolfpup change it for us.
