DMC Revenant Beta 3

Some feedback I'd gotten about this map from the Fortweb DMC people suggested they would like more connectivity, so I did a couple things:

1) I added teleporters between the 1st and 3rd levels- you just walk through the doors, which are now open.

2) I added steam vents on the second level that you can get a boost from to jump up to the third level.

This version is also a hell of a lot smaller to download from a server.

Anway, the Fortweb forum seems to have died so I thought I'd double-check here to see what you guys thought before calling it final.

Also, I created a neat effect in front of the teleporter doors as well using a sprite. And a few glowing particles should shoot out from a teleporter after someone goes in it.

Yes, I have whored this map out to every mod on the planet :razz: Though making different versions has been pretty educational.

btw, any good places to upload dmc maps so dmc players will actually find them? :confused:

Yummy quakeness. Those fires are a bit small though. Or is it their placing? I don't know, something about them that bothers me..

Looking sweet as ever Jinx.

I think the reason you guys think the fires look small is that you don't realize how big this map really is. I played the HLDM version on LAN, and I was very suprised at how large it is. somehow the screens reall understate that.

I think the fires look odd in that pic because of the angle it is taken at- I wanted to show the teleporter and the steam vents in one shot.

there are more pics and downloads of the HLDM/AHL versions here:
http://www.cryotank.net/maps/revenant/index.html

The rspeeds are good, under 800 as I recall and lower most of the time. The map's layout is pretty simple, really, something I thought of several years ago. Was hard to keep the speeds down.

There's a version I'm doing for Vampire Slayer, too, which will probably be in the next version of that mod.

The gargoyles are models, you can look at the readme for details about where I got them.

here's a pic from the AHL version in-game, the size of the player models will give you some perspective:

Ahh, good old Revenant, yeah, it does feel very Quake-ish. Much prefer this to Hypersanctum, that was a bit too wacked out for me.

Hypersanctum was my first map, it was thematically challenged :leper:

:lol:

still dunno if I'm gonna bother finishing a hldm version of hypersanctum, seems like a waste of time.

I really liked this map before, and still do.

Only thing I can say, change the teleporter if you can. I hate that dog-ugly DMC mass of floating fungus.
