Awesome, I love dungeon levels.

FANTASTIC!

Due to the new method of forcefield handling, you might want to go through and actively check each level to make sure it still loads and works the way it's supposed to...not to mention the gofasts.

I was going to go through all my old dungeons and fix them up for the latest version, but I'm too lazy/busy to remember. If you ask me to fix specific ones, though, I'll make sure they get fixed.

Just an idea, but if you called the Dungeon Server "Puzzle Server" it might be clearer to outsiders what it is.

fix em up or send em over and id be happy to look at em.

A lot of the levels are toast. For example, something that I've noticed happens in a lot of the dungeons you have and I have, when you get the flag, the game crashes. I don't know why, but it does.
I have a bunch of dungeon levels, some of them are edited versions of the ones you have, I could send them to you if you want.

There used to be some quirky flag exploits that people didn't even think about being exploits at the time, but now bitfighter is much more strict about what you can do in each gametype. Sometimes, if you run from the editor, it won't even let you test those levels because of "fatal" errors. I'm not sure that's what's happening, but it seems plausible.

[Skybax]

It mostly happens in CTF's. So I don't think it's really an exploit of the flag dynamics.

[ZoombeR]

ill look into that

for the meantime, sure, pm me all the dungeon levels you like!

[karamazovapy]

seems to be down, at the moment.

These checks occur only at runtime, and not when the game is actually running. Some of the checks really do prevent crashes (even loading a game with a soccer ball will crash if the gametype isn't soccer). Others are really there to help prevent misunderstandings (team flag checks for ZoneControl, for example). But once you're running, there's no checks for things that don't make sense that trigger a crash. That would just be silly.

Just an idea, but if you called the Dungeon Server "Puzzle Server" it might be clearer to outsiders what it is.

yeashs.

and because all of these levels had to have worked during zap!,
the only things that could be triggers for crashy levels would include things we have had to replace, like speedzones or something, (which infact is the main bug in all the dungeon server maps)

This.

And Zoomber, I have some old Dungeons of mine. I fixed them up just today, but I don't know if you want them. If I pasted the level codes here, it would be humongous. I guess I could PM you them.

My best dungeon though, Q-Party, is gonna take a LOT of fiddling with to fix it, for reasons that _k previously mentioned. (forcefields are the big issue indeed, the go-fasts actually are fine, in this case)
