First, the flow between vertical levels seems a little too dependent on teleporters. Maybe add a few lifts here or there to improve it.

Some of the doorways are a little narrow..

Missing the textures for the terrain on the top of the map

Make the grass in the bottom out of terrain - it will look 5x cooler, and you can use it to work in some jumps, or vertical connectors.

I love the green plaster/concrete you have there... those textures, I guess they are made by you? How to obtain them?

repacked and updated - no missing textures now.

stormshadow: in cpma there are plenty of ways to get to the higher levels - also, in all the testing this map got in the past nobody complained bout that, so i dont think itll change.

hipshot: yeah, most textures mine. for using them - i will release one more map with those (+other) textures and then probably a texture pack. please dont use them atm, or mail me for details (if something looks particularly good im ok with that

)

No worries mate.

I think the stairs in the second screenshot look a little odd textured with grass. Use the floor texture instead.

posted some demo feedback:

it's recorded in cpma 1.32 so I believe you'll need that to watch it.

I think that looks good, kinda overgown.

Grass textures look quite distinct which might be good or might not be. :icon28:

hehe thanks for the feedback

ill see what i can come up with for the stairs, maybe some alpha mockery

and it seems that all my botclip brushes turned into real clip, thats why the stairs are clipped. And i thought my doublejump skills were so rusted i couldnt even do one from the stairs :/

Just one note about the paths in the pk3: the plat sounds should be under sound/movers/plats, not sound/megadm6/movers/plats. The plats give me the usual default beep. But I did look at the map under Q3A. The path for plat sounds may not matter in CPMA.
