Map Description

Oh and before you jump on my back for poor spelling. I'm British and you should know by now we are all crazy nonconformist who put r's before e's.

Just finished this. Its quite small but I?m reasonably pleased with it (using reasonably in a flexible way). One of the main aspects of this map is the use of physics. For instance the magnum (aka noob cannon) and rocket launcher can only be accessed via use of phys objects. It also has a crane which i though we be a nice touch. Making forts and what not with it biggrin.gif. Updates in the future are mostly going to do with aesthetics and adding a few more indoors areas. More detail, better 3dsky box, rain that isn't purple and making the cube maps actually work!:. Anyway enough of me blabing hope you enjoy this.

If the map is complete, then check out Global Assault. They are a big
map library, and will host your map and give it a quick review most
likely.

Judging by the screenshots, I'd say the main point you should focus on
improving in future efforts is your lighting. Currently you look to be
relying entirely on the light_environment with the odd street light
dotted around, and even those don't provide the map with much lighting
contrast. Don't be afraid to place more light fittings around the map,
even where they might seems somewhat unrealistic, in order to get more
variety in brightness.

You may also want to try and break up the repetition of both your
architecture and texturing in places. You appear to have an exterior
wall that doesn't change much as it encircles the level. To introduce
some more interest to it, you could have built a few buildings around
the edge that are inaccessible, yet bring in much more variety in
height and texture. As a more simple improvement, you should look into
using overlays on the walls to add surface detail with very little work
required.

Not at all a bad effort by the looks of things, its just a tad on the basic side. Good luck on your future efforts :smile:

Looks pretty solid - The little ladder mounting bits just hanging out into the air look weird though. (first pic). I'll check it out ingame when I get home.

Yes the crane works. Dedicated servers need to dl the mod though.

It looks good and the crane would work as the buggy and hover boat work so why not that aye :)

I like your map and good use of physics as well :)

Looks nice (a bit dark in the screen shots though!)

Does the big magnet work as in the single player?
