P.S Update dr_grizzly and dr_r60d!
We can't just accept admins.
They have to apply and they have to be good applicants.

Hi, this is sort of a suggestion and sort of a question. I noticed DankMemes420 was banned for exploiting safety first. I just do not understand how getting stuck in the ground gives an unintended advantage. Like I said this is partly a question so correct me if i'm wrong ,but isn't that more of a glitch?

If it was unintentional that would work as a plausible excuse, but In danks efforts to purposely get under the elevator to get in that area is considered exploiting. (mind you the teleportation does not work when it that glitch and can give an unfair advantage to red)

What Pail said. There are plenty of people who purposely get themselves stuck under the elevator and they don't get teleported which can delay the game if they're the last one alive. However the ban wouldn't be issued if it were on accident.

Quick suggestion: On dr_wintervalley scouts can jump over the first gap resulting in avoiding the first trap completely, which is considered exploiting. Simply adding an invisible wall or a kill wall for that matter, could easily solve the problem.

Obviously it's not a priority, but still an issue nevertheless.

Totally my idea and not AgentApple's :^)

This is an issue we've been dealing with for the last two years, but never has been done. Find someone to fix it and we'll update the map.

I didn't see this until now, but we currently whitelist conditions, due to a few of them being used by trolls.
If you know of a condition that should be unblocked then I can add it. The newest version of Deathrun I allowed the Karts condition which fixed a few map's minigames.

I've been getting into Hammer recently, so I might actually do it myself. Still on the basics though so it might take a bit.

I'll work on getting the .vmf for you. Actually getting the map file is the biggest hurdle in the process; if you try to extract a .vmf from the .bsp with something like vmex, you'll either have stuff missing or the file won't load in hammer at all. The best solution is to try to contact the map creator.
