That would be good on a shirt, or a bumper sticker. (Seriously.)
@T.C., that looks really nice, but...wow, it's certainly green, isn't it? Green sky + green light from the sky (I think?) + green weapon markers + green flags + green liquid (I think?), etc. Maybe at least make the liquid and sky differ, or if it's just the sky light, maybe desaturate it a notch? Or something? Dunno, maybe it's just me. No.
Also; Looks nice, especially shots 2 and 5. Don't play TF2, so don't know how the detail level compares to stock/other custom maps, but some of the walls/buildings look a bit sparse (shot 3 is a good example of this). Possibly more prop use would help. I'm aware that there is a limit to how many aircon fans you can place, but windows/inaccessible fire escapes/crates nailed to the side of a building mebe. Other than that, the general look of the level is nice, good intersection of buildings to create a varied hull/play space. Map is far too open, the layout favors scouts and snipers, but doesn't make it fun for them either.
Snipers are powerful only becuase the fog and openness makes any attack angle viable and gives them cover. So either they'll get couter sniped, or it's just shooting fish in a barrel. Scouts are powerful because all the open area makes it difficult to hit them. But they aren't even going to have fun, as there aren't enough areas of height to jump along or otherwise get advantage. Most of the other classes are screwed without the choke points, high ground, and tight areas to either fight through or defend. In my opinion, what needs to be done is to tone down the fog and darkblue light. It is far too hard to see enemies at a distance and tell what team they are. The blue light also gives too much advantage to the BLU team. I'd use a brighter light blue color to still give the 'night time' feel without being overbearing. Fog needs to be thinned quite a bit overall. http://img409.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mudfarmsuggest1mg2.jpg http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mudfarmsuggest2uq4.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mudfarmsuggest3tf6.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mudfarmsuggest4ke0.jpg I agree with Scampie on pretty much everything he said. Trinka needs to be quiet while the grownups are talking. And it's good to see people branching out to other games.
People should use there own nicks and not other�s people nicks...
i dont give a shit about nothing... wrath i didn�t wrote that... so peace! for who is trying to use my nick, get a life... Yeah I agree with Scampbell on a bunch of things too. It's very useful feedback.
Scampbell: What exactly do you mean in the first screen shot about moving the spawn up to the doors? Thanks for the feedback so far everyone. I mean cut the room circled, and put the spawn there. The existing doorways from the room cut into the rest of the map and now the exits from the spawn.
I actually like the circled room, so I might just cut out the regular spawn room and move all the teamspawn there instead.
Megaman just linked to that thing i had in mind: http://de-war.de/eurekacarpark.html
I reached three days full vising.
73.80% Elapsed 23h30m, Left 24h16m Total47h46m, 49%. Nothing happened last two days. http://members.home.nl/gimli/arcus05.jpg http://members.home.nl/gimli/arcus06.jpg http://members.home.nl/gimli/arcus10.jpg http://members.home.nl/gimli/arcus16.jpg The map plays well, and I'm just below the max clip and vertices. Only on fast vis, or I'll wait for years. http://members.home.nl/gimli/arcus16.jpg
I think I see the source of your trouble. Tell me those railings are a func_wall? Then what's taking days upon days of VIS time? Is your computer older maybe? Nothing else in those shots looks particularly VIS unfriendly...
The map is rather big (8Mb) and fast vis takes no time.
R_speeds are extremely high. I used no func walls, and hardly vis blokkers. hey madfox nice theme and you've got some nice construction here but the texturing could use a lot of work. if you can't get those big bricks ending in the right place, then i'd use much smaller bricks so you don't notice when they get cut in half. in acrus10.jpg for instance, almost every brick gets cut in half at the edge, which ends up looking sloppy. also things like underneath archways and ceilings don't need to be the same brick texture. the railings i think wood look better in wood too.
I crawled out of this map construction with my first suceedment of texture alignment. And as it was the first mistake I never saw in mapping
I experience it as a small improvement. My first goal was to make the map excist without homs or max warnings. Reason why I had to take advantage of the mdl files. And as the texture count grows on 72 it still could have some more archivement. I'm now on a P4 3Ghz and I never had a longer vising count than 8 houres. After boxing the map the vistime just raised dramatical. And I can't delete that because the map immedeately starts leaking.
