Looks nice, reminds me of an old starwars-jedi outcast map..
hehe thx beer hunter 
buuut ... i need to be careful with the waterfall sprites, because otherwise my friends get <20 fps

Its as nice as a fy map can be, but personally im sick of fy maps. Who is going to notice or actually play a new fy/aim/ka map when there are sooooo mmaaaannyy others around?
Oh, and fix that waterfall - its too streched.

| As aim_ maps go its pretty decent. Suggestions - break up some of those long walls with columns like aztec. Takes too long to jump onto the crates to get onto the higher level, replacing them with ramps will be better imo. Needs a bit of cover in the middle section around the water edges. The waterfall sprites could be tweaked for a better fx - something like bigger sprites at the waterfall base with a higher framerate and smaller sprites with a slower rate the higher they go. |
That is what I call feedback baby!!

lol, wil5on, what graphics card do you have? Because not everyone has a Radeon 9800 XT 
my friend has a Geforce 2 and as it is if he gets too close to the waterfall it gets chuggy.

I think the waterfall would look better if you did what $loth said, and also put a lot more mist and spray sprites around the bottom.
Apart from that, it looks OK.

well instead of the the huge gap between the curved and the straight down why not make it one?
I don't know which texture you could use though, i haven't looked proparly through the textures in a while.
[addsig]you mean at the end of the waterfall where the water falls down? elementary physics i would have said. the water has forward momentum, but at the same time acceleration of gravity pulls it down. this leads to a curved path (perhaps a bit exagerrated, but still)
what texture would you rather have me use? 
i agree, water can be boring, but it seemed to suit the scene well.
