Ominous? I'm going to go with cassius. This map is really serene. It almost makes me want to be a cow so I can graze around...

The map is not finished, but I think I can do some open betatest. Time to be a cow or what you want <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> :

http://usuarios.lycos.es/gpumania/

there is a hotlink protection, if gives some kind of error retry and download it.

this is only for betatesting purposes, not redistribute or I'll have to kill you

I want to polish it, and probably add some cover where needed, but remenber: there are 3 big zones with different tactics and playing style. It can be played with pistols also (not the s**ty terrorist one). Enjoy and tell me all you think about it.

Some errors: a volume in soundscape fails (too high), hostages are exctremely assholes, need to edit the nav to avoid it.

Huh, Tripod just continue to get more annoying by blocking the link for several seconds <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/mad.gif">

I haven't any problem downloading it, don't know what problem could be. Probably it's related to hot linking and referrals, those protections don't work when a referral blocking is on (like some firewalls has)

Hey for all you guys who can't download right click the link and save target as

Anyhow I tried the map with 9 bots and me..... and I really gotta say the fps was bad in some areas where combat happens often... oh also I found it incredibly unlikely people will be able to rescue the hostages since they are unable to navigate outside the room in the house to easily... luckily I was playing against bots so managed to get a victory out of it cause I knew where they'd all be camping lol

Anyhow I can tell it would be pretty cool if neatened up a little bit more, u also need to add a skybox lol and some how sort the terrible fps...

Thx for your report 6th monkey <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

The problem related to hostages going out the house is resolved, there wasn't a proper connection in the navigation mesh. And I think they could be splited in 2 groups, one in first floor and other in second, just to make it easy for CTs.

FPSs are good enough playing without bots, but with them... I think bots waste more resources with this kind of terrain, the navigation mesh is 10MB size (very huge and complex). If somebody wants to play with bots I say sorry, put a number your CPU can manage.

About the 3dskybox, it will not add better FPSs <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">, and there is a problem related to fog distance, it felt very strange when I tried to add. Need to make more experiments.

the 3dskybox idea was to make it look better cause it looks weird stopping the way it does at the moment :P

Oh and another thing I forgot to say was, that (almost certainly because of my graphics card) the little pont looked like a big white blob lol and not water until I got up close to it smiley

So in nrmal play it looked weird lol

I know, but I'll try to show you that 3dskybox could look very weird (or unrealistic) also because fog settings and draw distance used in this map. Related to this, I changed fog color a bit and now looks better.

About water, I think it's because sun reflection, I'll try with another kind water but may be will happen the same.

> Hmmm I havnt noticed any lag on this map on my machine I was at 60+ fps throughout the whole level.

without bots that's my performance too, try to add cl_detaildist 4000 if you want better visuals.

It could be released next week, I think. I 'm fixing details, hate that part , but main work it's almost done.

I did some work with rock displacements. Added some overlays (second rock type and moss)

Normalmapped logo

Water highlight was fixed, but I had to choose a very cheap one because performance.

And I have a important question. Could be illegal adding this model?:

The screens are larger than the map

Read this

Then this

I genuinely appreciate the thumbs, but you still need to work on your file sizes.

<100k is always preferable.. 150k is absolute upper limit..

screen content looks very nice.

This map is really looking phenomenal. The shot of the cliffs especially caught my attention. I look forward to seeing how the map plays.

Sorry for the pics, I'll delete them because now can't fix.

About tactical gameplay, see this satellite pic XD




I pointed the main routes. There a basic rule, you can choose from 2 paths all the way to objetive. Encounter areas are marked in yellow (aproximate). It's simple but works very well in my test.

If you've paid to use that model, yes (I assume you need to buy it, judging from the site? And dear me, there's a worrying number of fully skinned naked female models there, some people need lives <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">)

I created the .nav for the final version and this could be a problem: 12MB size! Load times are too high and bots performance it's not quite good. May be it should be handmade (simplified). Luck I know how to made it, at leats I hope <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
