Concept:
|
|
|
An LE version of CTF-Glacier][ was requested by several people in
the online community particularly clan z2. Given the severity of the
errors and its popularity, I accepted the request to fix the map.
CE105: The LE100 version of Glacier fixed a great number of bugs,
but in doing so reduced the playability in some European competitions,
for example Jolt
CTF League. Their rules dictate that matches be played without
redeemer, thus the LE100 change (to put a redeemer on the lower route
in place of a keg) in essence made using the lower route almost completely
pointless. Combined with a few ideas from Clanbases'
own Glacier][-LE, such as making the on-ramps to all 4 side outposts
the same, CE105 re-addresses these problems and corrects them for
league and cup play as required in these tournaments.

Version History:
|
|
|
Below are the changes that differentiate Glacier][ Clan Edition v1.05
from v1.00:
CE 1.05
-
Added flag holders. This is a purely aesthetic touch,
since just having the flag sticking out of the metal floor doesn't
look particularly convincing.
-
Roof bugs fixed after discovery of holes in the barriers
which were added to prevent access to the outside roofing.
Below are the changes that differentiate Glacier][ Clan Edition v1.05
from v1.00:
CE 1.00
-
Replaced redeemer (low path) with keg. Due to Jolt league
rules, the redeemer is off by default, and as a result no advantage
is gained by having the redeemer available on the lower path;
in fact it makes the lower route almost redundant. Clanbase players
have also become acustomed to playing with the keg in this position.
-
Removed kegs from both bases and replaced them with redeemers.
-
Location Strings have once again been changed; The LE100
"Blue / Red Base: Rear Keg" strings have been changed
to "Blue / Red Base: Rear Redeemer".
-
Side outpost on-ramps have been changed so that now all
4 have the same "crate" style on ramp. The existing
crate ramps have been flattened and aligned correctly.
-
Roof added to both bases, for both visual effect and to
prevent possible access to top area.
-
Pulse added to replace ripper. Equivalent ammo replaced.
Below are the changes that differentiate Glacier League Edition from
the original:
LE 1.00
-
Ceiling is off limits. The original author attempted to
prevent access to the area over the flag by using a BlockPlayers
actor but unfortunately it didn't work. I opted for a simpler
solution and removed the open area.
-
The top cliffs of the glacier are no longer accessible.
It was possible for flag carriers to hide at the edge of the map
which is what necessitated this change. Invisible collision hulls
(ICH) extending to the top of the level solved that problem.
-
The floor approaching the minigun tower is now covered
by a grate. Previously, unscrupulous players were able to drop
the flag under that area in order to hide indefinitely.
-
Flag drops through walls should no longer be possible.
In the outer cellar wall of Red Base and the front walls of each
bases' towers it was possible to drop the flag or be killed only
to have the flag fall through the wall to the other side. Although
the walls should have been thick enough to prevent this, some
BSP abnormalities in that area were causing problems. Rather than
rebuilding the entire area, some well-placed ICHs did the job.
-
Weapon placements in the lower area of each base are now
the same.
-
Powerup placements have been modified. The lower keg has
been replaced by a redeemer and the redeemers in base have been
replaced by kegs. This should help put an end to the extremely
annoying all-deemer defenses and make guarding the bottom of the
map a bit more important. I also set the shield belt to rotate
on 2 axis so that it is a bit easier to see against the light-colored
bridge from a distance.
-
Location Strings have been dramatically improved to enhance
teamwork and flag carrier support.
