@puddles recently suggested the removal of Clue from the regular servers.

This map is a perfect replacement, its even based on clue.

- This is my best optimized map yet, with VVIS taking a grand total of four seconds to complete. This map can be played on high and low end rigs both.
- This map features some neat easter eggs. Walk into the closet in the bedroom, use the radio in the living room, hit the switch under the stairs, and a few others.
- Despite being all indoors, I tried to make the map relevant for players using all weapon types.
- This map has a total of about 50 spawns, making it capable of handling a large playerbase even if it's not necessarily balanced for it.
- The elevator has a built-in anti-block/crash/abuse system.

 

Yes please!

I love any idea that includes getting rid of clue. However, the page you linked has a suggested player base of 6-20. I would have to play on it to see if it's just a glorified clue or not.

Very good suggestion. I hope we can test this one out.

 

I'm all for new maps, even though this one is very narrow at some points and encourages camping- so does clue.

Want want want.

 

I would love to see this in the map pool but also keep clue. We had a map test a few months ago for another small map, but it did not work out as it was too small; how does this map's size compare to clue @Carned

 

well @ant. There is a yogcast video on it for a ttt game so I will get the link when I get access to a computer.

It looks amazing. +1.

 

I briefly ran around the map in singleplayer to give it a look, and it is very detailed and looks quite fun for TTT.

My primary concern is that it is perhaps too detailed, and doesn't sport the optimization to compensate for it. It's definitely one of the better optimized maps I've seen, but there are major flaws in particular sections of it's visleafs and it completely lacks areaportals which are essential. (To put it simply: games try to not render/tax your computer with what you, as a player, can't see. This map does a pretty shitty job at that, and tells your computer to do far-far more work than it has to.)

It's still not the worst done map I've seen from around here (cough ALien cough), even given it's poor optimization. I'm just worried that the large, relatively detailed rooms, and unnecessary features like real-time/live dynamic reflective mirrors will absolutely murder low-end PC's. Of which, we host to quite a few.

 

That map design provided in the images makes it looks incredibly visually pleasing. I would really love to see this map tested! Whilst it's recommended for smaller player-bases it may still work quite well. This definitely has my approval to be tested!

 

I personally found the map to be rather dull. Its a fairly decent sized map, but there isn't much for anyone to do other than run around and kill people. There are no traitor traps on the map, but there were several spots that would be fun for C4 placement. I don't really see it being too terribly popular.

 

Dolls is our most played map and all people do is run around and kill people.

 

Yes, but dolls is also an open map with only a few enclosed areas. Manor house is a series of small/medium sized rooms with little to no room to make any decent escapes especially for players on their own. It just seems like the kind of map people would get tired of quickly. Jihads everywhere due to the layout of the map, the temptation for people to camp some of the rooms, and there is also a small amount of weapons on the map. Don't get me wrong. The map is a good map, just not for TTT. With the chaos that sometimes ensues on the server with itchy trigger fingers, I also see an influx of reports whenever the map gets played.

 

Lack of weaponry is always sorted by Highwon. Regardless, there is no need to debate on the matter, we will see when its tested how it plays.

 

I never liked clue, this looks like a great replacement.
