Park Valley -Finale event (+The Island)

My maps Park Valley and The Island!

These 2 maps are meant for hanging out and chilling with pals while also exploring quite expansive maps and enjoying the scenery.
These maps are mainly built for multiplayer modes.

The Maps

Spoiler:

Park Valley (Coop, Match)
This is the Main map, as said through the title of the PK3, this is a pretty expansive map with 6 sub areas, a collection hunt, and many secrets to find.
This map is used for the TitleMap

Park Valley can also be used as a Match map, with all the fighting happening just in the main park, which explains the M in the file prefix.

The Island (Coop)
A smaller yet chill map to more hangout and learn more about the inhabitants that live there. Made to be an expansion to Park Valley's Egos.

Park Valley started back in 2010, starting from a small, random map from a guy who knew nothing of map making to an expansive map with a bunch of little things that I am satisfied with.


Known Issues

Spoiler:

Park Valley
-A very rare crash going from the Main Park to FC most likely due to Change Music. if I know the exact problem, I will fix it if I can.
Android Port -Tunes ISDPCT, PVHWEN, PVCOMM, and ISPIZA do not load cause the game-music-emu format isn't supported on the Android version of SRB2
-Finale event: When joining a server, if any of the ice shards were collected before hand it wont visually update properly, visual only.

Park Valley 6.5.1
QOL hotfixes, Even though there weren't many problems that needed an immediate hotfix, looking through a server that hosted it made me think of some fixes that might make things better for multiple people

Park Valley's Void area adjustments
-You can now reenter the sector that opens the wall to see where it is instead of it only playing once (it is now moved slightly so its easy to dodge when you dont need to step on it again)
-Generator Room now has 10% less gravity than normal bringing it from 200% to 190%
-You can no longer softlock the Gargoyle Color Puzzle with Milne's Pickup ability (and probably any character that picks up objects)
-There is now a colored floor under the respective Dyed Gargoyle to tell which colored sector to bring it to as it was confusing for some
-A Thank you Room has been added for extra details about the Event and Special thanks

Minor Changes/Fixes
-Changed the Hotel Interior texture in Park Base as it was still using the Fall version
-Added more anti-noclip areas in the Crystal Area for servers that allow Noclip for less cheese
-Moved certain control sectors to avoid sequence breaking with servers that allow Noclip

Park Valley 6.6
-Winter version
-Similar to the Christmas theme but with no Christmas references (with the exception to the Christmas tree thats now OOB)
-Weather is now defaulted to off, this can still be changed at the usual location
-Finale: The Gargoyle puzzle has been adjusted to be able to move the gargoyles better.
-Slight changes to geometry to possibly get a tiny performance boost
-Replaced COMP textures to be more consistent to each other
The Island:Replaced COMP textures
The Island:Removed over 250+ scenery objects in the water for a possible slight performance boost
The Island:Fixed missing texture where the Park Valley cameo used to be.
(The Island didnt get a version change as there wasn't enough changes for it to be considered a new version.)

Version explanation
Park_Valley_Vx.x.x.x(.x).pk3
The extra (.x) is if it is a hotfix if there was one.
Where x is the version number.
first two numbers is Park Valley's Version, other two is The Island's Version number


Notice about performance

Spoiler:

These maps were built to look best in Software, but its the most heavy in performance, if you are having problems either lower the draw distance or lower the resolution.
Though these maps run the best performance wise in OpenGL, if you're still having problems in Software, then maybe OpenGL can fix it.

These maps are a bit intensive, so don't expect perfect 35/35 fps on a lower end machine.

Also no, I will not make it so it can run on your low end android phone.

Also note that your connection can also affect performance in larger maps, so keep that in mind.

In the past I've had plenty of reports about this, as I never had any issue on my machine so its hard to fix.

Ego Hunt Walkthrough

Spoiler:

Me running around and collecting every Ego in a specific order, this also shows endings
I do recommend to try to find the EGOs yourself first before just using the guide. If you are having a lot of trouble, you may look at it.

Welcome to releases!

Though, my own PC had issues trying to run with a good framerate... but it seems to be an issue with just weaker PCs like mine.

[blacc]

Time to go back to ego hunting.

[LuxisLand]

Spoiler:

EGO.

btw, Pretty nice level.

[yfyfyfyfyfy]

agree with D00D64. it would be much nicer if it didn't lag so much. but that's my problem.

[Simon_T]

Hey! I was following this project since 2.1 era in the SkyBase, and I'm glad too see it released in the MB, because it's a great map

[Ackeneister]

Oh man, I remember playing on this map on Spectrum's server.

(If you don't know what I'm talking about, I was the moss color Sonic in that server)

As I've mentioned in the notice, I don't have this issue but I know this exists
I have been trying to make it better for weaker machines (even doing so by moving around/removing vertices to build less nodes and removing scenery objects) but I feel I would have to rework the map entirely to fix people's performance problems.
Sorry about it not reaching good framerates.
All I can say is hopefully OpenGL can help implying you weren't already using it.

I mean... would be pretty good to have like 2 parts of this, one it's for weaker PC's, and other for more powerfulls... Like, y'know, balance or something?
idk, anyway, my Laptop loaded it on decent FPS (or that's what i want to think.)
But i guess i am asking for too much...

Well, making 2 different versions would be hard to manage, so thats out of the question. So really if I want more performance I am gonna have to clean up the middle of the park area more, as thats where most of the problems are. Every sub area though should be fine with performance so there shouldn't be problems there.

[Simon_T]

I found a bug regarding water in the Park Valley map
It retains some leftover Ice behavior from Christmas versions in its surface, which makes turning and braking a bit difficult while running on it as Super

[Dr bob]

So... ive been stuck at 27 egos for so long! there is 2 egos that i know are there but i cant reach! (One near the particle in the museum, and one near that weird curly like thing in the ice area of the crystal obstacle course ) and one that i dont know where it is!
PLEASE IF YOU GOT ALL THE EGOS! TELL ME WHERE THE LAST 3 ARE!

[AirFox]

The one near the particle is locked behind a button near the enterance of the museum. And the other is behind the blue ice pillar if I'm reading that right. I will soon have a guide for the Ego hunt for those having trouble finding them.

You could do Autumn when Halloween ends, like you did with Christmas and Winter

[yfyfyfyfyfy]

after the 2.2.7 / 2.2.8 update it doesn't lag anymore! it makes me very happy.

Thats a maybe on that, doing these seasonal visual reworks aren't that hard to put together, but reverting back takes a bit of time to do. I'll consider it but don't 100% expect it.

Cool, I didn't think there were any performance changes to SRB2 in 2.2.7/2.2.8

I have attached a walkthrough guide on the post, I just forgot to upload it.
Nothing fancy, just me going through and collecting all of them and showing the endings as well
