The scale is 195:29100 (about 1:145) for the minimap. The server I was on didn't have measure stick so I used an expression and gps.

look, i do understand wire (most of it anyway) but i just dont get the ranger slowdown thing. A tut would be apreciated, even if it is just " place ranger on front,
wire to expression : name blah, input, blah, output blah blah
wire wheels/thrusters to expression"

well on the xuras community forum we going to be making a tutorial for trains soon so i will post on here once one gets made.

But in basic's of the color system you need a ranger that detects color. Then at differnt points in the map on the floor between tracks these change so if was expression 2 you put

if (R==# & G==# & B==#)
{
Do_something
}

You just have to work out all the different colours on the ground. E.g. for stations there are 3 sections, 2 are the same value. We put these so you can use the two outa values to slow down so if.... { thruster=0.5} but then the middle value can be used to indicate it is within the station so you can link it to a timer to stop for so long.

For the intersections they are dynamic changing colours. So once you change it it will change the value to indicate it has changed. These can be worked with auto trains to create routes so it first checks it and if it is not how you want it you feed 1 into a user. Highly suggested the user and the ranger are very near together. Any more information please ask or wait till full tutorial is out.

It doesn't just rely on Ep2, you need Ep1 and HL2 to run it without errors.

I was looking at your map with mat_wireframe 1 and i realized that its not really well optimized, being on a corner of the map doesnt seem to stop drawing the trees on the other side of the map. However being underground does make it stop drawing the whole map.
So I think that the map needs more occluders and a bit more of optimization in general...

But really nice map! And i love the water thing! Great job!

Also, to make it look better, i suggest you to make the water flowing, as in a CS map (I dont remember which one). Its only an opinion but it will look awesome...

I know that this is not the map's forum but i hope the creators see this post.


EDIT: Sorry, it was only a part of the map where lots of props rendered at the same time. The rest of the map its really well optimized. Sorry about what i said

Little you can do around displacements regarding hiding the map, I know about all the optimisation techniques and how to apply them, but the best I could get out of it was hiding the entities. There could be the odd block that I've missed hiding entities on, but it shouldn't do much harm.

Edit: Just read your edit. And umm... I am the creator.

Oh I thought you just helped a lot with the map and someone else was the creator . . . FUCK. Great work anyway.
I decided to doanother mass update of my SVN's and gm_botmap didnt work.
