Couldn't agree more with what Fjoggs says! A big part of authentic level design is to give the player the feeling that he is in fact not in an enclosed game level but in a tiny fragment of (in this case) a large industrial site. In your screenshot of the MH room, why not convert those giant fans(?) on the left hand site to the main entrance of the facility with a partly opened gate/rollup door/etc and add some geometry in terms of buildings/cranes/ropeways. Think of creating a feel for what is "inside" and what is "outside"; I think it will improve things a lot again! |

I agree both with Fjoggs and cityy, Looking up to the screenshot Fjoggs made, it looks much better and imagining it in real game with real textures, it would be better even more. Also, what cityy said, if you take your map Trespass, there are outside areas that give feeling of much larger area than the player actualy is in. To the textures - nice choice, using industrial and facility props (and hi-res) textures pushes that old game far far higher than when it was released in 1999. Because making futuristic maps is too mainsteam ![]() |

Looks nice, but some of the yellow trims need some shifting.... Anyway i deleted all my quake stuff so im not able to test it ... But i think it will figure out to be a nice 1 |

I've been waiting for a while for you to put up this beta ... very nice work Pat! You need to put up some invisible thingie to keep the bots out of the water ... can't remember what that's called. It's beautiful though. =) |

thanks, v1|3, much appreciated. i will try putting some botdonotenter in the water to see if that helps. for some reason in the last build i did they just started wanting to swim around in it all the time! so weird. |

It's perfect, nice graphics, I just do not like the Shotgun being on the bridge. If there were small healths or shards instead and SG were moved slightly in corner, like always did... Also, I'd add info_player_intermission for spectators and scoreboard, it looks silly when scroeboard appears on the floor. It needs an overview to most significant part of the map - the one all will remember from it... |

Nice work. The area at the armor shards / ya looks a little stale (mostly the floor). The surfaceparam metalsteps everywhere is super annoying imho. A shame that you didn't use the flipout weapon spawns. The white ones don't really fit the map. The computer-screen shader by evillair looks a little out of place too. Maybe Photoshop and CTRL+U could help ![]() |
