Map Description

This is my contest submission. It is now done, but I have only released beta8. the final version was sent to VALVe and shortly after my computer had to be reformatted. SO VALVe should be the only people to have it.

That gigantic danger sign in the first pic looks odd.

I think the trouble is all the textures tend to blend together especially using that light too, brown walls, brown roofing and orange light:/ Tends to make it a bit wishy washy. The map looks good, just try work on some lighting:) oh and more pics please;)

The reason people on Steam forums like it is because they don't know
the first thing about a good map. We, on the other hand are far more
critical of people's work.

I do like your map, but I can't see much, it's far too dark. Either a)
Increase the light_environment brightness or b) add some lights
outside. Adding lights outside could also be good to direct people to
important places.

Overall I like the map though, but I do agree with Crackerjack as the lighting is very bland.

Thanks, I'm compiling again now, so I will have updated screenshots. Probably better looking pics tonight.

Indeed it is very open, but it also has its closed spots too. I'm sick of all Dm maps being all closed in and small. Like I sad those screenshots are old, and that version of the map on my site had some problems, but alot of people on the steam forums seem to like it.

Looks pretty good, try adding some subtle lighting outside to give it some contrast. Give us some closer screenies too:)

Lighting is really bland, and its hard to pick out the brushwork cause everything blends together, there is no contrast. I also believe that this might be a little to open. And we would be better for a different gameplay style.

3- points to remember while doing a DM map.

-Layout

-weapon layout

-and Z-axis action
