[MISSION] Oilrig - Oil Overflow

Mission : Oil Overflow
Map: Oilrig
Difficulty : Expert (7 waves)

Credits:
-Tamari for the map
-Icons owned by their respective owners
-Bunch of random nobodies who tested the mission

Notes:
-Contains a small amount of vscript within the popfile
-The asset file will be available only after pass. Always assume, that the latest version is uploaded.

Personal request:
DO NOT play spy on judging sessions, in order to get the most accurate waves diff.

Hi, we judged your mission.

Verdict: NO STRIKE (FIRST RUN)
Judges present: Egg, Pasta, Floro
Demo link: https://us-testing.moonlight.tf:27107/de...73.dem.zip

Overall:
The mission needs a couple of significant adjustments to be in a passable state.

Wave 1:
-Adjust total count on support blast soldiers and bowmen so as to have more of them drop cash.
-Remove one mittens kritzkrieg squad.

Wave 2:
-The backups stack, one is enough. Mission was in a much better state when it was one soldier squadded with 8 heavies.
-The burst support heavy spawn is too much. Squad the heavies back with the giant backup.
-Consider removing / reducing the blast radius bonus on the nuker demos. The instakill aspect of it is fine, the easy team wipe in one hit isn't.

Wave 4:
-The sandmans didn't do much. Consider stronger robots.

Wave 5:
-Overall too easy and too short. Consider adding an extra subwave or two that adds to the challenge of the wave.
-Support df pyros don't drop cash for long enough, adjust total count.
-Nukers should shoot slightly slower.

Wave 6:
-We do not believe hard AI pistol scouts is a good idea, consider switching it to a scattergun / minigun of sorts.

Wave 7:
The boss spawned stuck inside a wall, he was completely unable to move; to be fixed before requesting another judging session.

Overall: The whole popfile suffered from a poor cash distribution between the bots. It is fixed now, and every bot will drop cash.

Wave 1:
-The supports drop cash now
-Squad removed

Wave 2:
-Blast radius bonus removed
-The Backup + Heavy stack is back

Wave 4:
-Replaced with Extended Concherors

Wave 5:
-One giant and common subwave added
-Support DF drop cash now
-Nukers fire rate is changed

Wave 6:
-Pistols are normal AI now

Wave 7:
-Where "behind" is now removed, the brotherhood of scouts will spawn normally.

Latest version of templates and mission are uploaded.

-Personal request:
HMU when you will judge it, so I can join the session and apply the changes instantly and/or fix the popfile if it goes autistic.
The spy restriction still applies.

NO STRIKE
Judges in attendance: M1, egg, PDA, randomguy, Skin
Demo link: https://us-testing.moonlight.tf:27107/de...67.dem.zip

Overall:
-Randomchoiced Sentry Busters don't show up at the top of the screen when they spawn. Please make them not randomchoice.

Wave 2:
-Reduce the firing speed on the nukers

Wave 3:
-For the first subwave with the rocket wall, make some of the commons spawn on the left.

Wave 4:
-Remove the snipers/get rid of their crits

Wave 5:
-Make the gmeds into regen

Wave 6:
-The wave was engie food--consider buffing the reverse blast to have increased damage vs buildings
-Remove the snipers/get rid of their crits
-Swap the pistol scouts with scattergun scouts
-Reduce the pyro AI level to normal

Wave 7:
-The bosses don't do anything
-The lack of reasonable medium-to-long range threats made the wave feel like a shoot-em-up. Consider adding snipers, spies, and more threatening giants

Overall:

-RandomChoice is removed.
-About the headshot snipers, I will not remove them right now, first, I wanna see how they'll work out with the nerfs that I gave to them. If they'll be still aids EVEN AFTER NERF, I'll gladly get rid of them.

Wave 2:
-Fire rate adjusted

Wave 3:
-I think you meant on the right, because the Rocket Wall had "spawnbot_right" while the commons had "spawnbot_left" (that's also what PDA said). The DF pyros now appear from right.

Wave 4:
-See "Overall"

Wave 5:
-Poppers are now Regens

Wave 6:
-The reverse blasts now have the increased dmg vs buildings
-See "Overall"
-Fine, I will make them scatters
-AI reduced

Wave 7:
-The bosses now have increased damage and a bigger health regen, also they don't spawn in the beginning, but rather in the middle.
-Replaced GBurst demos with AlwaysCrit Colonel Barrages.
-Added spies

The latest version is uploaded. The requests and restrictions still apply.

Hi, we judged your mission.

Verdict: PASS WITH CHANGES
Judges present: Pasta, Mike, Oddschool, Floro
Demo link: https://us-testing.moonlight.tf:27107/de...36.dem.zip

Overall:
Mission is in a good state, good work.
-Replace headshot shot snipers with sydney snipers (potentially with buffed cooldowns & desiredcounts).

Wave 6:
-Squad the laserwalls with 3 quick ubers each. Make sure to adjust the totalcount on support wavespawns accordingly, so as to not run into 22 bot cap issues.

Wave 7:
-Make the scouts move considerably slower.

Overall:
-Headshots are gone, they won't have a happy ending.

Wave 5:
-While spectating your game, I've noticed that the 24 scouts were straggling towards the end of the wave. They're now support limited.

Wave 6:
-Based on my own observation while spectating your game, the last Laser Wall was straggling. 1 Laser Wall was removed
-Quick ubers assigned to Laser Walls
-Added the airblast icon to the pyros

Wave 7:
-The scout bosses will now have the same move speed as the armored sandmen. Used to be same as regular scout.
