I know you are still online and refreshing every minute to see if someone posted a reaction and that's why I'm going to do my best..
I have always preferred nature environments above closed rooms or urban or anything else not nature. So that's +1 for the looks.
should be a linear.. could be because I myself don't like skill stage maps alot. But also the floor part looks really good with the displacements and bridges and stuff.
Those + env_fire are a waste of time i think, in skill maps.
Try lowering the rain percentage because slow machines of maaaaany players will probably fail.

Yeah, looks alright from the screens, but I agree that it also looks like it might be unplayable on a not so good computer. What fps do you get in it?

i do really like the look.... question: Are all the stages going to be such a dull theme?  all with a swamp like environment? |

Nope... Stage 2 is set in like a coal mine environment Stage 3 might be like inside a volvano or something, they will all be different. |

Quick suggestion.
Cut the smoke @ fires. Unnecessary fps loss.

I'm sorry but there fog and fires don't need to be removed. I have the lowest version of the iMac from the generation before the current ones, and isn't at all great with games, but I do not lag one bit on the map and I don't have a low FPS either...

No, because it still gets rendered Fog only helps much if you use far Z, because then it only renders till this spot |

The suggestion was to remove the smoke, not the fog. Smoke and fire can lower fps, but it doesn't seem to be an issue. Looks a little sloppy, but seems like it has a nice atmosphere. If every section has this much detail, it should be a fun map to explore. For more stages, maybe consider a snow/ice level, or a glass level, or maybe a temple stage  |

That just automatically appeared with the env_fire... I didn't have a proper look in the settings of the entity but I automatically assumed that was new from the update? Anyway, it doesn't appear to effect the FPS rate at all and there's no lag on the map (Y)  |

Updated first post with screenshots of completed stage 2... I have removed the smoke from all fires and there is a very slight FPS increase... And for those of you complaining about how dark it is, it is a lot lighter in game and you can see the ramps fine |

I've never even heard of, nor seen the maps silverlol is talking about.
I'm not sure why it's coming out so dark in the screenshots, in game it's fine as I keep saying...

It's more of an entrance to a coal mine rather than inside one...

Right guys, i've removed fog and rain and changed the light_environment settings slightly and I'm happy with the results... Based on the suggestion earlier about the floating ramps, I have fixed that issue and here's a screenshot:  |

Why forbidden tomb Well it's got nothing to do with forbidden tomb tbh, they were the only custom egypt textures I could find... The surf doesn't resemble/copy forbidden tombs in anyway either so *shrug* ...

In game they look bigger, dunno why my screenshots are making them look smaller, I noticed that when I posted. |
