Amazing map for KF1, and this port is really well done, though it seems a lot darker than before. It doesn't run too great either, but the biggest complaint of the map is that KF2's gameplay doesn't really work for the map layout. Super tight corridors, dead ends, tight staircases, etc. The map feels too small for how fast KF2 gets. Amazing map though. Would love to see Steamland!

NICE WORK!

I also have a nice map on my 2 servers

Great KF1 map, one of my fav to play in KF2 due to the constant chaos and spawrn rate, it's one of the hardest. However it has some problems, the performances decrease waves after waves up until boss wave (a wave that has not a lot of Zeds) where you have 1/3 your framerate. There are also a lot of bugs with floors/walls making you auto jump and weapons sinking into the map/floors. I think for better frame rate a version without the 3d floor textures would already be better. The railings are also a pain to jump onto for some reason. The most notorious beeing the one at the pipe near the foundry shop, where you have to climp a pipe before exiting the shop area.

Beware the map is extremly hard. Be prepared to move, jump of 2nd floor and have decent healing. Do not go to 3rd floor unless you really need to, else you won't be able to jump mid without taking 50+ HP dmg.

Easy 10/10 map. Great work of porting it to KF2. I wish KF-IceBreaker was also ported.
Much apreciated work.

It's cool...but the framerate drop is too intense to enjoy it.

Just played FOUNDRY for the first time since KF1. Loved it. Colors are vibrant and it doesn't look dated like the original does. But it is a bit darker than i remember. great job! Please continue to convert more of the KF1 maps to use for KF2. Especially Steamland.

meh

So by default servers constantly check for updates to workshop content automatically.
After a couple hours any active servers should have grabbed the most recent version.

All of this is assuming that the server in question is running in its stock configuration, if you're dealing with heavily modified servers then it may be a different situation.

Does this mean we have to wait for people to update their servers to play the latest version online?

I've just pushed an update to fix the weapon pickup issue.

Very good map! very well optimised compared to a few years ago. I like the relief textures.

There is a spawn bug : you can't grab the weapons that are spawning, and it is only AR-15 that spawns. It also create a second problem which is spawn points are gonna end up all beeing filled with ungrabbable weapons.

The area that you have to defend are surrounded by a firewall texture which is an annoyance.

really great map but always when i play it offline solo or host it on my server the collectible weapons can´t be grabbed ^^

awesome now if someone would just make steamland from kf1 that would be awesome

1/10, great map, extra laggy.

nice men good work

One of the best KF1 ports - great job man.

This KF 1 map is awesome, but the weapons drop need to be fix, I can't any of them.

@ｇｉｌｌｙｂｅａｎ
Are you on the Beta preview build?

I loaded your map into my server and the graphics are not loading. It's still that purple gray blocks everywhere. Any advice?

@Frost Spectre
Thanks, I've found that some people hate it while other like it.
I personally think it looks cool tho. XD

Nice touch with the Dosh themed objective. Better than TWI's version.

map is too dark...

Nice work and a very good job.

Map updated to "V1".
This brings support for Stand Your Ground (Dosh Objectives), as well as a host of other improvements.
Check the Changelog for more details.

huge frame lost ;/

I just played my first round on this map. I really enjoyed it. The layout is great for survival rounds, and the aesthetic reminds me of Batman: The Animated Series. Thank you for sharing your work.

I think the performance loss is too much, not sure if it's worth it. It's mostly the main room too. GPU goes from 50% usage to 100% and frames drop all the way down to 80 with almost no zeds.

OK, I see

@рокегмап (• _•)
Unfortunately there's no where near enough time left to port a map and have it ready for Christmas, if I wanted to do so I'd had to have started a couple months ago.

http://kf-wiki.com/wiki/Evil_Santa%27s_Lair

Sorry, I just want to request a KF1 remake.

Day approaching the Christmas.

Can you remake....

KF1 Santa's Evil Lair??

gg :D

wow near perfect steampunk bliss doors dont repair & no weporn sporn but hay who cares 10/10

True, i was mapping on GTKRadiant (for Quake 3/QuakeLive). I'll upgrade my CPU soon anyway thx for the instructive answers.

Regards.

The main performance hit isn’t coming from the geometry, like I said previously the map uses heavy duty shaders ( custom ones I might add [i.imgur.com])

When I do my performance testing on my maps I’m very careful to watch my CPU draw calls, Shader instructions, and Overdraw. (none of which ever surpass what the engine can handle)

In regards to streaming portions of the level in and out, they simply aren’t big enough to warrant that, and especially in the case of Foundry there are various hallways that allow the player to see across the vast majority of the map.

I’m assuming the majority of you experience is with Source, which is VERY old and outdated feature wise. (Even compared to UE3)

Amasing work btw.

I have exactly that GPU, a GTX 680 and i get 80 fps at mid. I am sure the GPU is processing stuff that are not even in the POV. I also made maps on other engines and there is always a trick allowing the mapper to tell the game not to process stuff in AREA X/Y if the player is in AREA Z or in sighf of triger walls/zones.

I get 200+fps (i cap the game at 240fps) on all the official maps and i noticed on a lot of custom maps that have very low details there is still extremly bad performances because mappers dont do the optimisation part. Foundry has very low details so i dont see what could cause such drastic framerate drop.

Hope this helps ;-)

Regarding map performance, something people have to understand is that “Bad performance” and simply being Demanding GPU wise are two completely different things.

Foundry was put together using relatively demanding shaders and effects and is targeting significantly more powerful hardware than what the base game recommends.

I would personally recommend at least a GTX 680 or the AMD equivalent as a bare minimum for smooth gameplay.

@ Neuro - L4D2 CC
The map will be updated when I get the chance (which will hopefully be soon)

The door issue is happening in any maps which have their doors set to be closed when the game starts.
This started happening with the Summer sideshow update.

Its one of my fav KF1 maps with IceBreaker, SteamLand, HillyBilly, EvilSant'sLair and the other Santa map i dont rememeber the name. MoonBase was not bad either.

Amasing map.

Could u make KF-IceBreaker?

Your KF-Foundry port is not optimised i think, very low FPS there. And doors are buged at start, is this map still beeing worked on?

Oh my god, this map is so good. The conversion work is flawless, with new particle effects, god rays and post-processing, I just love it. Best map from the workshop so far. Hope it goes official.

Please remake Santas Evil Lair!

What fonts did you use for the icon?

Thanks for the map!

@ OXY
Because I like Foundry.

The maps I port are the ones I liked from KF1.
This is the main deciding factor on which maps I pull over to KF2.

Out of all the KF maps, why this one?

Any plans to remaster kf-farm and/or kf-bioticslab?

The map is really great,sadly i don't know why it lags for a friend of mine. But hey,i wonder how you got to make it very similar to the original,since i don't know much about KF SDK. It would be awesome if you could make Bedlam or Icebreaker like you did with the Foundry
