This is very good, re do it with the valve payload bomb, name it pl_mining and put it in the pl section. Don't worry about the double post thing.

I'd say this map has a lot of potential. After playing this on our server most people liked the map, but with well balanced teams we never get past the first half of the map. The map gets voted away because of its duration. I'm not sure whether the map is aimed at servers with a timelimit.

I read that in Goldrush you need to loose control over the cart for 30 seconds before you can start pushing it back, I think that might be a great idea for this map as well. I noticed that the defending team was usually able to push the cart back for quite a bit.

Another thing I would like is for the 'rounds' to be more like dustbowl: when the stage is completed (cart made it to the capture point) then the teams will be reset back to their spawns and then there is a minute of setup time. This prevents that people are walking around in the wrong part of the map, which happens a lot due to its size.

The map is way too confusing. It's very hard to know where to go when all the blue arrows point back to the last cp instead of forwards so the teams should be switched.

The map itself is confusing as it all looks the same and it desperately needs better direction with clear indication as to which sector you are in and the way to the next one.

It's an ok map though it is too hard fo red imo but the lack of direction makes this seriously dull

It was locked from both sides and the grate in the floor didn't open. I think it may be related to the issue with it giving red the point even though the point was still blu. I've got it running on my server now so we'll see if it happens again. I can show you wish spawn area it was as well... but sounds like you know which one I'm talking about.

compass, impossible. signage and sounds? people ignore them !

I wish you didnt have to block of the other areas, because it is fun to explore, but if you could make it alert a player that they are going the wrong way. Compass, signage, sounds, etc.

i'm trying to lock off unused areas, and only open them if the nearby point is capped.

but with that locked inside the spawns? that shouldn't happen, the grate in the bottom should open and you should be able to exit trough the lower door.

So I have your map on rotation on my server.... and today near the end of the map (around the 2nd to last point or so), the BLU got stuck in spawn. There was absolutely no way out. Then the red captured a point and it was still BLU. :/ Someone figured out that by changing classes, they spawned in another location and were able to get out but obviously this is less than idea. Just figured you'd want this kind of feedback before you head into B5. When can we expect B5?

(also, lots of people are finding themselves lost .... all the time. In B5, please add more direction and more defining characteristics for each area so people aren't whining to me about how they are lost and how my team always wins, not because I'm any good, but because I know the map better than them. >:( ).

Red's attacking becouse valve made it really confusing to know what team is team 1, if you look at the skins of models, team 1 is blue, but for some other things blue is team 2, and so it ended up like this, and i have a lot of work to swap the teams :D

Map looks like it took a lot of time to make, good job. We have had this on our server for only a few cycles, but a few things i would like to point out. I consider myself well educated on the workings of the map (at least relative to most of the ppl who are playing this). That said I sometimes find myself lost. The signs, while there are plenty, still confuse people. They follow the little blue CP A-frame signs along the track and end up away from the cart and battle. I'm still not sure where the red arrows that flash are pointing to. Numbering the points might be quite helpful so that if I run past 4 then 5, but my HUD says they are attacking 3, that would be nice. Also a compass indicator like for the briefcase could be helpful if placed on the cart.
Ive tried to tell people that if you are running past multiple CPs after spawning that you are going the wrong way, but that only helps so much.
His comment about a choke point before the 3rd CP (it was an early CP, but not #1 for sure) is accurate if hes refering where they come out of the mountain and it follows an almost S curve along the edge of the mountain and then out and down a ramp into a small valley that seperates the blue spawn from the mountain. (There is a level 2 health pack under the ramp heading to the CP). (sorry for bad description) It was real easy to pin them inside the cave.
Also why is Red attacking and Blue defending, no biggie, just seems contrary to standard conventions, and minimally confusing to some. And the cart, i understand its a new item to the game and thus buggy, but it is pushy, and it is much harder to push back than forward (prob intentionally), it is unclear sometimes how to get it going backward above 25% even with 6+ ppl on top of it, but i have seen it hit 50%.
One idea I had was to include mini-maps similar to what you find in CCP_CircleJerk, telling you where you are and what you need to attack. Sorry for the long post, but this is a very nice looking and has great potential because I love dynamic maps.
