Turbine Pro - us29.skial.com - has been launched!

Skial is now offering a new 24/7 32-slot Turbine Pro server! All the fun of the beloved Turbine, with more possibilities, less spam, enhanced visuals... It has it all:

*Note that this is usually the version used in tournaments such as UGC's Hignlander.
**The map on the server has a few additions not shown in the video. (e.g. 1, 2)

Differences (source/download):
1. Added one new way from center to lobby.
2. Modified exit from pipe.
3. Pipe is now wider and higher.
4. Modified ceiling in the intelligence room.
5. Modified stairs the center.
6. Added small ammo packages in center.
7. Near the respawn room there are small ammo and health packages.
8. Modified the window in lobby.
9. Modified map lighting.
10. Now you can walk around the generator under the ladder in the center.
11. The distant fence in the intelligence was removed, so the area was increased.
12...and more!!

Fixes (source/download):
1. Now you will not touch the lamps in pipe and will not slow down when you walk in pipe and lean on one side of it.
2. The turbine sound is now more quiet.
3. The gas balloon in the passage to blue lobby is now a material.
4. Removed the flattening in angles (near health pack) in lobbys.

Time to give it a try, and spread the word!!

Cheers,
Oli


From my original post:
I've been a huge fan of the Turbine map, and play on Skial US5 all the time. I'm also a new donator to Skial! I'm quite happy to see people returning to the Turbine server, and fill the 32 slots most of the time (even at 5 AM!).

Would it be possible for Skial admins to give it a try for 7 days or so, as we usually see Turbine fan returning almost on a daily basis... Another way to try it out would be to add it to the map rotation loop (e.g. 2 classic Turbine, then 2 Turbine Pro). Popularity of the map could decide! Guys, have a look and let yourselves be heard if you would like to see this version in the Skial server. I would suggest it very strongly!

no problem, seemed like you were having a hard time with the concept. You probably should have not posted in the first place regarding a CTF map if you hate them so much.

I noticed that we no longer have No spread and no crits.
Was that intentional for Turbine_Pro?

In the other day I went to the Turbine Pro server.:alone:
Friday and sunday lots of the regs that live on us5 are going to populate Turbine pro. Show up then and we can make a party of it. ^_^
Also, friend me, if I'm on I'll drag as many people as I can over and join you :)

yes, the comp settings were not very popular, so the no spread was removed, and random crits re-enabled.
