"Hostages can open doors and step up onto ledges/stairs now"

Best part of the update for me, except the map i guess.

Hostages opening doors... clearly that did not happen when poor poor Dirt was playing the Militia_TM2 game earlier... XD

[Iamevil]

anyone know if the server is getting updated?

Or none of us(me) will be able to play tonight again.

As beautiful as the map is, I don't like how you can't open the garage door. The only way out for the garage hostages is back through the kitchen.

It shouldn't be the hardest thing in the world for someone *cough*(vulcan)*cough* to modify the map for an opening garage door, with us instead hosting that version. Though I'm not sure how that would impact traffic...

There's a van and a car in front of each garage door, although I guess you can remove them? The map looks really, really good, probably the best looking map I've seen to be honest. But if you only have virtually one route to take the hostages out of the house, then it ruins it completely.

If you mean load the valve map into an editor, and change it, it's basically not possible.

If you mean take the map design and produce a new map that looks almost identical except for the change to the doors, it's highly unfeasable, and unlikely that anyone here would be able to produce a replica.

I think the closest you could *realistically*get, is someone making yet another version of militia, based on the design of the valve version, but with the changes you're looking for.
