I got my map in week 11 of UGC 5v
Yeah baby
http://www.ugcleague.com/schedule_tfc5.cfm

ty for that info and insight everyone, Trace I would consider it an honor If you ever have time I would love to run through it with you and get harsh on me lolz, jst pm me here or meet me in #desertss in gamesurge and I will set the srv to stun..

I finished all the texture errors cleaned up all the r_speeds granted there is one spot a small spot if I stand there that hit's 702. Gonna do an _l vers probably soon.

That grate part is for detpacking in water to open it up. Also the lighting that was mentioned earlier was to create an illusion of foggy light feel only used that in fr and at cap point, The rest of the map I used strips of blue and red to identify which base your at at a glance. There is definately room to improve but in general its clean, appealing to the eye and plays real well jst ran a 5v5 on it last night without one issue or negative feedback..

Regards Z3n

I guess I may have been overly hasty in my judgement, but it is important to note that my misuderstanding of "fast" had in large part to do with my diffaculty in understanding your lingo.

on another note, it hardly matters that the map is designed for fast gameplay, that doesn't mean it can't look good. I don't play TFC so I am only equiped to critique the construction, not the layout.

Colored lighting should be used a little more subtly than that. I don't know if this map has a strange layout that makes you unsure of where you are, but I prefer a TFC map where I can find my bearings by noticing, for instance, a wall with a red band on it, or a few scattered red objects, or a red sign on the wall. Having a room entirely red lit and another one entirely blue just detracts from the room. I already know where I am, no need to shove it in my face.

Do we have a tutorial on using colored lighting effectively? I notice a lot of new mappers fall into the trap of using one light entity in each room set to "255 0 0 1000" and another "0 0 255 1000" for "accentual" lighting.

EDIT: Diablo, you probably detpack that grate.

I downloaded the map and had a quick walk around the place, overall it was done well, but I found a couple of problems. I don't know how good gameplay would be due to only playing it with one person. :razz:


Argh! Crates! My eyes burn!


Interesting slimy stuff, it burns!


Now this is a problem, architecture errors look rather bad. :sad:


Now how do I get through there?


Your r's get a little high at this point for a tfc map.


Now who's this handsome fella, a relative of yours lep?

lolz TRace I apolligize my english isnt well, But when you heard the word fast and hung onto that one it was infering to the opposition capping ratio. ie this is a more oriented offense oriented map rather than a deffense map, in short any good clans offense should pull 150-180 on average.

I know what kinda talent that is around here and agreed am humbled by this but at the same time this was designed for league play ie you dont stop and enjoy the view like you would single player map but not to say that its not to appreciate. I think you should dl it and bhop from base to base and feel the smooth simplicity of what a 5v5 league map should be you might like it if your a tfc mod nut.

[color=white]Not to be a prick.... well I guess I am being a prick, but there are two things you should know.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

1. Take the time to type out your post in a legible fashion. I for one, and I think many others as well, will not take the time to wade through your gibberish to give you feedback.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

2. Maps which are ?fast? are generally also shoddy; I see no exception here. Take your time with the next one and put some real effort into it, otherwise it?s not worth our time to comment on it.<o:p></o:p>

Wow ok, since I posted the orig beta I think this is it ie final vers jst did basicaly some major texture changes so you can identify what base your in at anytime by color added a change of removing the flags and replacing them with scepters with lolz skeleton kings of the castle holding onto them silly sexy lolz. Regardless im sure this is gonna be a league fav till hl2 hits god I hope they dont ruin tfc2 ie take the non realism out I so love..

Anyways im jst gonna do some cleanup of the custom wad to remove some of the wad textures to lighten the 5meg load and submit this to the UGC league.

btw the pics are not up to date anymore up there ---^

cool i like the textures n the sky :razz: works good

I just love slide maps
