Map Description

This map comes as a minimod since it features some voice-acting. The Playtest was created for a competition at TWHL. I had to make the map in 2 weeks, mostly during my exams, so it has some little flaws, but besides that the map plays well.

As for the competition rules, I had to make a map that featured two talking scientists. I've implemented their talking a bit different from what was suspected...

The water does look really nice, just like everything else. I liked the voice-over, much better than the original scientist voices.

Thanks. :) The water consists of just two transparant layers, with textures moving in different directions. Nothing fancy, but it gives a nice semi-random result.

As for mouse sensitivity (I know it's a late reply, sorry!), I've taken out the config files a while ago so that should be fine now.

I have played it and it is pretty good. The only bug I noticed was that the mouse seemed to be waaaaay to sensitive. Even with the sensitivity set low it was still really responsive. What's up wit dat? :)

Just another case where there is no 'always applies' rule :smile:

what SJ said actually happened so it is right, sure it shouldnt happen but it did

That isn't right. Full VIS should technically make the r_speeds lower because running with no VIS makes em terrible.

I found that full vis gave me loads of lighting errors, and worse r_speeds. I think you just have to experiment and see what works best for your map.

I always run -extra on RAD. And another 1000 options.

Like the map Cap'n. Although, that first voice bit was a little wierd:
"now its your turn walter no more secrets this time. only one". It kinda sounded like one sentence.
