Map Description

At this moment all work on Mudanchee is halted. A combination of designers block and the complexicity of this map. R_speeds are very close to 800/900 at some points and the amount of entities I used slow it down even on my computer.

Maybe I'll continue with this map, but most likely not. However, I might use the idea for a HL2 map, but we'll see about that.

Probably some of the best rock work I've ever seen. this is really good looking Captain!. As for glitches or problems:

I jumped out of the cave into the water and walked right out of the map.

So, pros: Excellent rock work. Cool custom models, great layout, awesome ambience, attention to detail is just amazing.

Cons:A minor tad repetetive visually. And, nothing else that I can think of.

A truly great map worth waiting for.

P.S. Fix the offmap thing and I will pitch the map at the next [FF] playtest!

Thanks for your hard work!

It's almost like kicking a dead horse or however the saying goes, but finally...

After more than 2 years - and a few more if you count mudanchee for HL - this map is getting done. I've skinned the last few models, worked out a few more details and it's now in a state that I can call it finished.

I would like to ask you guys to give it some tests: please report any issues so I can fix them. It'll be the last time I'll work on this map. Yay! :smile:

Enough with the boring talk, here are some screens and a download link. That's what this thread is all about, after all:

Can you please fix the download for this map. We tried to include it in our latest map pack and put it on our server but we are missing textures/sounds with the .bsp version we have. If you fix the download link we can feature it in our next map pack. Thanks!

I found out about this cave in Mexico which reminded me of this map somewhat. It's funny how I thought the crystals to be quite surreal yet there are caves in the real world looking far more surreal than this. Anyway, I just found it pretty cool.

Eh, no... not because of a system crash. I've had a busy time, rounding up my internship (got 2 published games under my belt now :razz: ) and taking up school again, and various other responsibilities.

I just don't know when I'll get back at this map, but when I do, there's not much left to do on it, so yeah... let's hope I find some spare time for this in the near future. :smile:

You won't let this beautiful map die because of one system crash, will you? :eek:
