Okay, here is the beta release of the map.

Things that must be improved:
* Performance (now max 4-8 Players)
* Weapon / Ammo Placing
* Cubemaps

Thanks, DvS for your inspiration from dm_agora, you're idea has been
very unique, thanks for your continuing support!
Please visit his
map-thread aswell!

Please post as much feedback as you can, regarding improvements etc.

thanks, mfg

I cant get the map to run right,and forgive me for being such a noob, but there was no text file with the zip. Where do I put the skybox files?. I tried creating a folder called dm_tribute, then just tribute, then no folder at all, just placed them in materials, but I still just get the endless mirroring when I run around the map.Looks trippy,but I cant tell untilI get it installed right.

well, the zip contains a correct directory structure ... you have to extract the folders into your "...half-life 2 deathmatchhl2mp" directory.

the skybox files are supposed to be in the "...half-life 2 deathmatchhl2mpmaterialsskybox" folder ...

i'm sorry that i forget to write a readme ...

Well I got it to work fine- as theres a materials and maps directory included, it's pretty obvious that you just need to unzip to your hl2mp folder! It looks great, loving the metal edges of the dismaps, though the '2' needs some clip brushes to help you climb over it. The other problem is basically with this style of map- it's so easy to fall off the edge and die if you stop paying attention for a second, or run backwards/sideways... Also maybe have a few more asteroids floating around for rockets to hit, and to help the occasional falling person out? But definitely geared towards l337 4-player games

Thank you.I actually like what you have going here. The floating space platform has always been entertaining when done correctly.Nice visuals throughout. I do agree the map needs to be bigger. Perhaps some interior architechture such as a couple of winding hallways around the perimiter would be a nice touch. I will be running the map occasionally at the Diners server if you don't mind.

Look forward to the next version!

Yah the problem is on my side Lep. I did'nt have winzip configured to show root directories, I think I got it solved now.

Get your idea by this map by any chance? :P <br> <br><a href="http://www.mapcore.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1867" target="_blank">http://www.mapcore.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1867</a> <br> <br>Its very novel, but doesn't looks like my sorta map from a playability point of view. I take it you have lower than normal gravity in order to allow players to jump around the unlinked platforms?

Well the techniques i could use are perfectly shown in dm_platform from DvS ... but my map concept is completly different ...

Wow, nice work there, yep platform was completely original as a concept this one is in the same way but its not quite the same, anyways. I like, keep up the good work!

Oh Reno, <br> <br>gravity is normal ... most platforms are close enough and some parts are coverd with invisible surfaces ... so there is no need to jump on that map ...

I think I'd need to test it to see how the flow works, the screenshots are quite confusing and busy which makes it hard to picture the connectivity. Are you planning on releasing a beta version at some point?

It feels great, once it's released I'm going to play it with my friends smiley <br>I never play hl2dm, but this map looks -great- for gameplay, so it might give me a reason to play smiley <br> <br>I reckon just make the big lambda sign not kill you when it touches you, that's kinda annoying - and fix those bugs with some of the surfaces of the platforms smiley

Well i like the lambda to hurt people ... that hopefully prevents them from camping at the rocket launcher ... but maybe i'll change the lambda from func_rotate to a physic-entity ... <br> <br>you said that some platforms have bugs ? please send me some screenhots i have no idea which you mean !?

That's some really smooth brushwork, if that was all done in Hammer. Well, even if it wasn't, it's really nice. Good job.

It's completely done in Hammer, <br> <br>only bruhswork ... but the faces have been transformed into displacement maps ... and those have been subdivided ... and that gives you this smooth effect ... try it ... it's new in source ! <br> <br>(normally it's used to make smooth terrain ... )

Yeah mfg, I just thought some of the texturing on a couple of the platforms could have been aligned a bit better, but it's fine as it is <br> <br>*starts chanting* release release release so I can distribute it to everrrrrrrryone
