New Map? - Discussion

[[LT] Sparx]

After further looking into Ranox City I dont believe it would be a good move for FL, the frames were actually worse than V4B1 on Singleplayer and most buildings are already pre-furnished.

Most of the props can be removed as they're world props, a lot of the buildings are also empty anyway for dupes. No map will magically give you all amazing FPS, so I don't think it should be a major consideration (not saying completely ignore it, just there isn't much you can do with just a map). The FPS on Ranox seemed to be fine with the FL gamemode too with a few people on, I think it's slightly better than V4B1.

Most of them are not world props, the hotel and the apartments both have props in the rooms that cannot be removed without editing the map its self. Making it impossible to decorate the room your self.

This is under 10 props and hides all the world props in any of the penthouse suites without blocking access to any of the windows that give it such a nice view etc, sure it's a bit annoying that you can't use all the space, but it's definitely not at all IMPOSSIBLE to decorate it yourself:

V4B1 and other evocity maps still have much better interiors, that are easy to decorate and have suitable props that don't get in the way. Most of the buildings are way too big and I can just image people blocking half them off as they don't have enough props to make a decent interior, which is just a waste if there are better maps out there.

Although some people want something new, but new isn't always better. The evo city maps are tried and tested, they have a good level of realism and decent decoration making a good city atmosphere. There is a good mix of buildings and peoples dupes will tend to transfer quite well as many of the buildings are the same. Chaos city is a much better bet, if its performance is decent.

Give me some examples of 'much better' interiors from the Evocity maps that are easy to decorate?

If the only issue you can find with a map is that people are going to (maybe) use props to block parts of interiors off, then the map doesn't really have many issues.
