This map was born from a chunk of dm_parasite, which I ripped out and built around. The setting is an industrial structure, on the edge of a swampy region. Hopefully a good time to be found for all - enjoy.
Hmm, well don't judge it by screenshots alone, Cass. I'm not neccesarily going for strict realism here, but I did hope it felt solid, functional, and interesting. Maybe strange is good, I don't know - I definately want it to have some unique character.
It doesn't look bad, but it looks strange. The lighting is pretty all-over-the-place. In almost every screenshot, there's something that doesn't look like it has any conceivable purpose.
Ok, it looks like there are 2 versions of the green tile texture; one with bump and one without. The bump version seems to be missing an alpha map for the spec channel (hence the glossy, ugly, specularity), but the non-bump version seemed fine with low shader settings. The texture is Tilefloor019a_nobump (the one that looks ok); just incase anyone else is using this texture - you might want to check your map with low shader specs.
"Looks pretty cool, but I know you know theres work to be done still with lighting... The light fixtures seem to be in random places. "
examples? I know there are some spotlights stuck in certain places, but I was more interested in dramatic effect, than 100% logical placement. Did you actually play the map, or are you going by screenshots alone?
Just 5 minutes ago, I was able to reproduce the error that keved was having with the green tile floors. I switched my shader detail to low, and they turn super ugly. I don't know what else to do with, other than replace them, as it doesn't seem to happen with any other texture.
