Hey guys, Finally releasing my level dm_district33 to the public. It has not been tested online, but I would imagine its best suited to 6-8 players. This was my first serious attempt at a hammer map. More info included with the .rar file.
Everyone seems to like their first / main editor the best - you won't
find too many UnrealEd fans around these parts :smile: I didn't notice any
mention of this being for the contest - did you enter it?

I mapped with the Unreal engine extensively. I have made maps for Strike Force 2004 and UnWheel (a driving mod for UT2004). So the transition to hammer was very easy for me. I really enjoy working with hammer, cause the lighting is so superior to Unreal, imo, but I still think Unreal Ed 3 is the most superior editor. RT lighting being the biggest perk. :smile:
Looks awesome judging by the screenshots, and for your first map with
hammer this is an exceptional piece of work. What other editors are you
experienced in, out of curiousity?

FPS is not as good as I would like it to be unfortunatly. I did utilize occluders, hint brushes,model fade and detail brushes. This is my first map with hammer, so it was a learning experience. So if anyone has some suggestions to seriously boost performance, I'm all ears. :smile:
If I ever get the Steam ports unblocked then I'll play this straight away! Looks fantastic- though the insides look quite a lot less detailed, especially you're sewer- could do with some nice sprites on the lights or some grates in the road letting light in.

Wow that looks class, it's a shame you can't submit to the contest anymore , you would have had a good chance i think :), it beats the crap outa all the other maps i've seen (avalon etc.)
