Bikerdude & Shadowhide's City Map - Beta testers wanted

[grayman]

Biker asked that I post this:

“Evening, as some of you may know I have been working on a large city based mission for TDM. I am very close to rolling out the first beta so have set up a Discord server to do the beta testing on. For anyone that has previous beta testing exp and would like to help, head on over to - https://discord.gg/fP32yEn"

I've seen this map, and it looks really good. Help Biker get this long-awaited puppy out the door!

Thanks!

Sign me up for beta testing please.

[acolyte6]

Sign me up too! I'm also having a problem with the link. Do I have to be a member there too?

[Shadow]

I'd like to help please. The discord link does not work, says it's expired or something.

[grayman]

Biker gave me a new Discord link.

I updated the OP.

[Bienie]

I could definitely help out with a beta test, this mission has been teased for years now, exciting to see it nearing release!

Here's the very latest link:

The old one had issues with kicking users if they were considered as guests.

@grayman please update your OP with the new link

Done.

This discord app is Crap! I can't find my way to link at all !!

I'll just wait for the fm to come out I guess… Sorry Bikerdude 

Can't you send me a direct link to my email ?

Wow, Biker hit the arbitrary TDM engine limits again it seems. Thanks for the link.

That seems to be an enormous beast of a map that he is growing there - will probably take some hours to explore...

P.S.: "There will never be a need for a Vertex cache bigger than 256MB!"

Any idea when we can count on a release?

[Filizitas]

Can we see some screenshots?

A couple hundred bug reports have been processed so far and bikerdude has been spending time working around that vertex limit. @Bienie and I have started fortifying the map with additional readables with @Amadeus acting as our editor, but with a map this size there's still loads of potential for more readables, so any creative writers would be welcome to step in - we have a Google Doc in one of the Discord server's channels. Plus the main storyline has been planned out by @Melan but still needs several important readables. So it's a bit of an indirect response to your question.

[chakkman]

Sick. So, Bikerdude left to not map anymore, and comes back with a map that's etxra large, and has some great people supporting him in his work.  That's a nice comeback then...

And, the screenshots look marvellous. I will play this as soon as it's out.

Sitting home  from now on because of covid-19 emergency measures. Glad there will be something from the top notch fm-makers to make my miserable life better

After a considerable amount of time and work by a group effort, while betatesting was mostly on hold, a new beta build has been uploaded today. The FM has been improved & completed in all kinds of areas (such as overall presentation, readables, voiceovers, execution of the main story and new secret locations), and now the time has come to resume testing.

Both new and returning betatesters would be very welcome. In fact, quite a few new betatesters may be needed as it's been a while since the last build.
