So I made a suggestion a while back about changing up the trade server map.
Bringing it up again.
-----------------------
Updated. Fixing house of fun in its entirety will take a long time, as there are some pretty big issues with it.
I went ahead and checked out these maps, and they're suitable replacements.

This map is bigger than the current map, and also a bit sci-fi. 16mb. (This is my personal favorite).

This is a very small map, 2.2mb.
This picture is the pretty much the entire map, sans the red / blue bases.
I imagine it would be very hectic with 32 players.

This is a fairly large map playerwise, 10.8mb.
Has features like a soccer court, volleyball area, a boxing ring for heavies.

9.59mb. Styled like Tron, this map has low ceilings and narrow corridors, so it'll be hectic with 32 players.

We could at least have Trade Park up until Cyclosis finishes his because as I can see Bottiger has high expectations for the brand new one
 
you don't like the minecraft one?
no. I don't particularly like the portal one, either. But its just what a trade map should be, or close to it.

Also the minecraft one is basically just a copy of rawr's, but with the nether and MC'd.
 
Trade #1 is filled all the time. Trade #2 is just overflow. Its a shit looking map and anything would still get the same traffic. I'd leave #1 alone with what has been shown here. Trade #2 is a visual disaster.
 
You want to replace our Portal map? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ...Unless you find a better replacement, gl with that. Replace our Minecraft Trade, not Portal Trade. Too much nether camping.
 
uhh ye-
I can't comprehend that.
Fine, I'll dumb it down for you. You cannot replace Portal trade! Replace Minecraft trade! It sucks! Portal is best anyway. You could replace Portal trade if you could find a better map (You can't, Portal wins by default). Although I like the first map listed.

no no no, I got that.
But I don't get how you say the portal map is GOOD
ALL people do it spam projectiles in a straight line! its horrible! I was sticky jumping and I FLEW OVER THE MAP. its horrible.

As someone who has opened the portal map in hammer for more than 4 seconds, I can confirm this.

It's an extremely shoddy map, both in design and build.


The minecraft one is shit as well.

i looks like the creator just made it in Gmod.
And, atleast the MC one isn't bugged, has more room, and sentries don't dominate everything.
