Very fun :D

Nice map, and I believe I have found an unintended solution in test chamber 1:

is it the shortcut you are talking about in your readme file? 8)

Test Chamber 74:

108.1% done, -8.1% remaining...
Released here!

I don't remember talking about any shortcuts in my readme ^_^ but that's the same solution Rellikpd found :) I knew it was there, then forgot to fix it before the final release *sigh*

ah, sorry, now I see, that was readme of another map I was playing today

I'm still learning about mapping. What does it mean when you get the message "Node: Graph out of date"? I see that message frequently on these custom maps.

:wink:

Here's my never-made-a-map version: the node graph is some part of the map related to AI that is created when the map is compiled. When this happens, the node graph is given a timestamp of the current time. If it is too long after this time stamp that the map is opened, the game assumes the node graph is too old to be correct and re-compiles.

I believe the trick around it is to set your system clock ahead a year, then compile, then set your clock back.

It doesn't affect game play which was my concern, so in light of that, if its out of date, who cares?

:wink:

Because having what seems to be an error message pop up at the very beginning of your map might cause people to be pre-disposed to think they see other errors.

It's a "level of polish" thing, I think.

Point taken. I'll go with your advise. :)
