http://www.button-masher.net/content.php?i=1379 Amazing work as always, there is shader errors with ioq3, but nothing serious. I was wondering when you were going to release this and it also reminds me of minecraft on crack!
Almost as good as this: http://lunaran.com/pics/lunsp2/grotto1.jpg
that is one of the best looking maps i have ever seen. hi res screenshots (sans entities) could actually pass for art
You and Simon are apparently both getting that. Your pastebin reveals no stand-out errors, but I can't argue with the screenshot.
What I don't get is that I emptied baseq3 except for my pk3 to test that it was complete, and tested it with ioquake3 and everything was fine. I use a lot of non-standard blend modes - maybe ioq3+your specific hardware doesn't like that? Does it do that with vanilla q3? What version of ioq3 do you have? I had an idea to make a version of the concrete shader with an extra-high lightmap res and apply it to only the big broad faces that have sharp diagonal shadows falling over them to crispen them up without destroying q3map2 any more than I already have, but it's too late and I was kind of hoping there WAS something critically broken so I could have an excuse to recompile it that way and re-release it.
Sock has put me onto a crazy ninja method for getting an appropriate working aas. I'm going to give that a shot, so maybe hold off? thx bro
I'm pretty sure now that I think about it that I have never released a Lun3DM I didn't have to release again two weeks later. The screenshots look very cool. Indeed combine-esque, and also remind me of some abstract art poster I once had. More of an experiment obviously, I doubt the map makes for proper gameplay, but who knows. How's the performance anyway? There's also something about the lighting that I like - as with other modern Q3A maps. Seems very refined to me.
Didn't think about the AAS, but yeah, bots should have a hard time with all the edges. How are you going to approach this? Perhaps make a simple version of the layout/structures without 'detail cubes' and use that AAS file for the actual level? i have to say i was kind of disappointed when i actually played this. :(
it looks fantastic, no argument there, but from the screenshots it looked a lot bigger. the map is actually pretty small. i know there's gameplay considerations and whatnot, but i would have loved to see it at 1.5x or even 2x size. also, i was sad the top part was all clipped off. :P but yeah, it's still awesome. ;) thanks! what a map!!
Is there any chance of getting the bots working? I have been spooging just walking around but would be great to try and play. Also, what are the r_speeds in this one, framerate dips ocassionally. Did you place every brush down individually or use some kind of procedural algorithm to speed things up a bit? Talk about patience of a saint!

I got this working, and have the bots playing their usual sort of dumb way on Lun3DM5. I had to recompile anyway, so I took advantage and doubled/halved the lightmap res in places it needed/didn't need it, so hard-edged shadows got a lot crisper but the download didn't get any bigger. \o/ Big thanks to sock. Tigger, you may review at your leisure.
