    Okay, from an initial assessment (I haven't actually looked at the files yet, just the maps) this is the result -
    • surf_grasslands - no
    • surf_acp - try to find a fixed version, there's some issues with this map
    • surf_ing I'm considering. I feel the quality of this map is barely making the cut.
    • surf_calycate - I had this map already (albeit not processed) and I'm not sure why I didn't add it last time. I think it was during the initial linear map additions so I'll get this one added.
    • surf_year3000 - no
    • surf_waterworks - no
    I'll post an update in the next hour or so once I've checked out the actual files uploaded here.

    surf_calycate hasn't been done correctly, so you "complete" the stage once you start the map already. If you provide me a fixed version @Blue then I'll get it added.
    surf_ing has the same issue @Duck13utt .

    What are the issues with it? Is it the waypoints or the map itself? The one I have downloaded seemed to work fine. (In reference to acp)

    On one of the stages the ramp that's supposed to boost you fails because of the angle of the brush / angle of the boost. There were a few other issues but that's the main one that stuck out. The waypoints were incorrect as the moment you spawn in, you complete the map.

    I'm currently rendering a video to explain how to set waypoints etc.

    Ah okay, I'll wait for the video before doing more. But since I can't edit maps I guess acp will just have to go in the bin lol. Though I didn't notice what you're referring to, I only tested it to make sure I could complete it and that was the extent of my test lol.

    That's fine! You can't really test it yourself accurately as only Killermon and myself have the tools to do that, you kind of end up operating blindly. Hopefully the video will clear things up for you.

    Oh, I get it. I was sorta hoping you would talk in the video, :<. How would I do the invisible wall? I have to block off the accesses to the bonuses.
    EDIT: There's also a teleporter to a deathmatch area set on the ground in the middle of the map. How would I go about blocking that?

    Just tell me when you post the text file that there's a teleporter to a deathmatch are and I'll take care of it.

    Tier 6 Hard Server, I believe this would do great!

    Okie. There's a deathmatch teleporter and there are entrances to the bonuses at the end that havent been blocked.

    @Duck13utt You did good with the setting up this time around, it's all correct and it works.

    After surfing the map a few times though it doesn't really feel like a good fit, it doesn't feel fun to surf so I won't be adding this map for now.

    @12max345 Really good effort with it. I'm not sure if you only did 3 stages to test out the tool (to see if it works) but what you gave me was fine for the 3 stages. The only thing is; I can see you did a stage and then saved, did a stage than saved. What you want to do is clear the memory after each save if you're doing it like that, this way you don't end up with duplicates in the file :).

    Not sure if I did it right, but this map is great for the hard server.

    Testing out a lot of maps while the ddos attack is happening. SO many awful ones to sift through, working on another right now but I got two done. Also, I don't know all the maps on the hard server yet so please excuse me if I accidentally submit a map that is already up lol.
