Map is really starting to take shape. Looks fantastic. I especially like the run down building with the over grow all over it.

Great work Grant. Merry Christmas to you too.

Looking forward to this map!! Really like your style of mapping everything seems to flow so nice. Gunna be neat to see what you do with the ugx mod 1.1. Cant wait. keep up the good work man.

Very cool!! Thanks bro!

Looks great! Just like your previous map. How did you get the flickering lights working?

Grantdaddy, the fact that you're even willing to change things up is impressive. You are definitely doing this for the people and that is very admirable. I personally would like to see you change things up on Train even if its just minor changes, scripting some additional steps or altering the visuals a little bit (just for a fresh experience NOT because I think there is anything wrong with its current state).
I often times wish mappers would update their maps but it seems like some people get SO attached to the way things are that they are unable to see the potential for very positive changes that can be made to enhance the experience. Glad to see that you are not that way. Thanks again : )

What one perceives to be "positive" is entirely up to that person. If a mapper doesn't want to change their map, then they don't need to.

Daedra, seriously all you do is disagree with people and try to cause arguments. Can you please shut-up while the grownups are speaking?

I completely agree with this. There is several maps out there that could have benefited from changes that could have actually went some way to making a good map great, or even different but the mappers seem to get very emotional about the maps and refuse to change them. Last Stand Elite was a good map and benefited greatly with the Christmas make over, and I would love to have seen it happen to other maps, though not all with xmas themes of course.

It is one of those subjects that I don't even bother bringing up with mappers nowadays, as it has gone on to upset some who I did mention it to in the past, despite it only being a suggestion rather than a criticism of the maps in their current forms.

Oh really? I'm pretty sure i do a lot more than argue. I'm not even going to bother replying to your ignorant comment any further.

Thanks bro!  I'm blown away by all the positive feedback I've gotten over this map!  It means a lot when people not only notice the hard work I put in but they appreciate it! My goal when I started mapping was to keep it fun but ALWAYS do my best to produce a good product.  I feel like just releasing the same map with v1.1 wouldn't be keeping that standard... I feel like you guys deserve something maybe not "new" but "Fresh" when I update zombie train to v1.1! Hopefully I'll deliver that... I'll definitely do my best! Thanks again man!!

I totally understand you Grantdaddy. That have happened to me in other situations. And when someone is doing something like Hex did, I get so annoyed till I explode. I really HATE when someone do that to me. And the worst thing when I try to explain what it actually is, they do not listen, and then I explode by irritation.

I hope that you keep up the good work anyway Granddaddy.
