Yea I agree with Billy

[Rscar]

So....my computer fails. Just stopped working one day and I had to reinstall windows...lost all progress on the map. Im sorry guys  If I get motivated enough later on I may start it up again, but right now Im too busy to remake the whole thing...

[Zalos]

Did you give out a beta or compiled version of the map somewhere, if so you can decompile and get it back.

[hellraisedsurfer]

well looks original
the whole concept of the gameplay is pretty good
still i think the teambased level locks would be pretty good to (if a T completes 1 then ONLY T will be able to join 2) so if a T wins 1... CT wont be able to go to 2 before a CT completes it.

its a great idea and let me point out: Awesome start ramp;) looks smooth an epic with the split...

gl with your project, definatly going to try it.

/hell

Ok, after some time spent being pissed off at the fact my machine crashed, I have decided to resume work on this map, and by resume I mean start the whole thing again...

Some changes I will be implementing:

-Going to make it team based, like one person completes level one and the entire team can progress to level 2, etc.
-Adding a bit more foot combat room.
-Some of the map structure may change...need to get the sexy ramp back though 

I was able to work out the major technicalities of the team based progression so just gotta get my geometry going, will post screenshots when I have something thats screenshot worthy.

[TIMAE]

Looked much better before....

[Exither.]

these houses are sexey

[hellraisedsurfer]

ehm... looks damn epic O.O awesome houses you made

[arroba]

but the displacements, honestly, are horrible, look @ second pic.
make better displacements and it will be a perfect map.

[FAJ]

Houses are sweet lookin. I can't tell if it will be much fun to play, but it sure is nice to look at.

[spoz]

Those screenshots look pretty damn hot, although it would be nicer to see a less gloomy version.

5 minute fix, will be done before release obviously.

Was thinking the same thing...I have some more texture work cut out i s'pose.

The texturing seems fine, its just the global lighting thats a bit iffy, these might be a bit hotter:

Protip 

[pand3mic]

the new lighting looks much sexier

I also realized my surf_freedom has the same ramp texture  That makes me feel unoriginal

Meh, not a big deal imo, if the texture fits well with the map use it!

[spoz]

I'd suggest maybe adding cubemaps specifically for those whitefaces, possibly a 128x128 if you can hold the budget (note: for highres cubemap sampling your window res needs to be at least 4 times larger than the sample size)

Note: the spacer brush is 32 which I find works best, anywhere upto 128u from the furthest extrusion point should look fine. When in face selection mode, hold ctrl to select multiple faces per cubemap.




Also I'd suggest hipshot's stormydays skybox, thats what those light settings were originally configured for.

sweeeeet.
That will work for my next project
Can I use it?

[Rscar]

Ill try out the cubemaps when i get the chance. And for the settings you gave me I did take out the fog, couldnt see anything hardly with it there...

Heh I set it up for a closed rebel's style linear map so some things may need tweaking to your needs

Holy crap, if this plays as good as it looks

[Rapsodia]

Omg Rscar this looks very promising!
I really like it
