Well the extra SG path certainly was a surprise .
Hope that makes some kind of sense. |

I had a run through with some bots. Neat map. Nice to see the haste power-up... kind of a rare one. It felt pretty balanced. Maybe having the RL a bit more central would be an idea? They both felt a bit out of the way, but perhaps that is on purpose to promote map-flow. I think the glares coming off the lights on the walls look a bit goofy. Perhaps they could be toned down or just removed. They just look out of place to me. Otherwise, |

Been working on it here and there. Picked up a cold a few days back and haven't been feeling up to doing much of anything. I had been messing around with the light beams for a while. Still not being completely happy with those in the lower(foggy) portion of the map I decided to take MRD's suggestion and just removed them. Should be an update soon. The TP's and bots are iffy. The TP across from the Haste I've only seen 1 bot use it and that was Slash. As far as the other TP goes the aas log shows its target position as being "in solid", which I take as it thinks its inside of a brush. A player can teleport through it with- out getting stuck so I don't know what's up with that. I widened a couple of ledges I hadn't done earlier. Merged a bunch of brushes ,got rid of some useless brushes and rebuilt a few structural brushes. |

There is another reason I could understand the bots not using the Haste TP... there is no point for them to do so. To them (or most of them) it is a dead end, and on that platform there is nothing to pick up, so they ignore that path seeing it as a dead end. If there were "bridges" up here they might go for the RG via Haste TP... |

Well I took a guess as to why the bots wouldn't use the TP by the haste and it turned out to be a good guess because they now use it quite regularly to go after the items on top of the platform and the railgun. I placed a bot clip under the target position but the only problem is they on occasion use it as a jump off point, which looks kinda weird. So I my end up changing where the target position is because to expand the platform in that direction just would not look right. I have experimented with a few different grates but as of yet I haven't seen one I would like to use in the map. Still have some ideas though. D/L removed , updated in latest post. Edit: Found a grate texture I like so I added a section of framing and grate under the target position which doesn't look totally retarded. Also I was just playing the map and the bots are now using the TP in the LG area. I had raised the target position up by 8 units and moved a info_player_deathmatch off to the side of the room. I guess it helped because the aas log no longer has the TP destination as "in solid". |

I believe I'm going to call this one done. Edit: Well maybe not so done after all. After reading the comments from the Judges I'll make some adjustments. |

Thanks DOOMer . AEon, Crayfish and mrd, I would like to thank you for your suggestions during the course of this build. They gave me plenty to think about and I certainly appreciate it. Have to admit that I was surprised at the results and there is already 1 person that pretty much outright stated I don't deserve it so it kinda puts a damper on the whole thing. |

Here are the final pk3 and Zip files (zip just has the readme external to the pk3(which is still in the pk3) ) . I made a few adjustment and additions. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what I do to this map it all comes down to personal preference. Some people are going to like it and some aren't, which is ok with me. See next post for updates. |

I spent a few weeks going over this map, Its been added onto, moved a few things and I spent a lot of time rebuilding the hull of the map and reworking a lot of the structural brushes. I probably should have done this long ago but its done now. Below are new links to the updated files. 1'll post the new files soon. I uploaded the new files to Mediafire. One of the options is to replace the old file but apparently it didn't work out that way cause it was still the old file |

I personally love the look of the map, and cant wait to try it. You should use dropbox to upload your maps |

Well after deleting the link to the map on Mediafire I decided to load up the file on a different computer and make sure I had uploaded the right file(I keep some older files just in case). Turns out while I was running around in the map as I had gone around a bend the sky flashed and I'm like Damn a lightning storm in my map. Not so lucky though. I have no idea why and after a few days of trying multiple things it turned out that the shader script was causing the issue. So with a different script the sky works fine now. I did upload the correct file to Mediafire though but for some reason it didn't replace the file that was already there. I tested the download and it was fine but for some reason the model skins wont display on my computer with RX 580's in it. I'm going to just remove them from the map and be done with it. Update- I figured out what broke the model so I will be fixing that and compiling the map soon. |
