  1. Hey! from a few years back i believe there was an older version of community pool that honestly everyone liked better on multiple occasions upon loading the current pool map we have people have said the old pool was much better and well, who doesn't love TTT_waterworld? :3 I hope you guys consider this as this would please many people, and BTW never ever add TTT-legotown or whatever lego thing it is, it's a downright horrible map

    As you can tell from the two old ratings you have already received, this suggestion has already been given multiple times. I was one of the few who argued for its return in the past. You cannot disagree with the fact that the old community pool was way more popular than the new one, but the same argument that blocks the return of the old version is that there were lag issues and the possibility of RDM whenever someone placed a prop at the bottom of the ladder. However, we've made quite a few changes since then, and we now have a developer. If @Chai could fix the issues, I don't see why we shouldn't bring back one of the most popular maps we've had.

    Waterworld was removed due to lag and server crashes, Old pool needs a a fix @My Dime Is Up made a fixed version but it had many downfalls and might not be supported. So @Chai snd +1 for old pool but fixed
     
  5. well 2 things, 1: I'm sure Waterworld has been updated as I've played it on a few other servers that is ran smoothly and at the time I had worst internet than I do now, and 2: what are the downfalls of the fixed version, I would prefer to know.

    That ladder shelf prop killing bullshit would have to be fixed, it was frustrating to spectate the whole map like before.

    Easiest solution to the old pool would be just to remove the water at the end of the ladder so people don't jump down all the time, like the new version of pool did.

    Last update was 2014. I'll retest it still though.

    Edit it runs at 30 fps while I usually get about 60-70 others may test it as well if they'd like as the results may vary

  11. Well to be honest, who cant handle 30 fps, it wont kill you in your face. That's what i normally play with.

    I've been messing with waterworld recently for a project. If I figure out what is exactly causing the fps drop I will go ahead and fix/re-upload the map if possible.

    The reason why the FPS is so bad is because you have to render an huge swimming pool covered in particles, only fix to the lag I could find was adding fog pretty much right beside the player, or remaking the map to be smaller.

    Some GPUs are better at rendering water effects better than others, or the pool got closed every time (that helps fps so much)
