Quake3World

hey mappers,

BETA stage., a few things might still have an odd method, ie the doors are acting weird due to some hinting.. other than that, lets hear what you have to say about parts or whole...

bots ARE included, and they work fair enough so far... i havent done anything bot related yet...

noTES-
WHITE buttons- they are for your team to shoot, they control either the gate near haste or two doors within the grate tunnel leading from shotgun area into the yard or another grate in the lower rear flagroom entry ramp tunel. They have different timers on them so see if you can interpret how i planned for their potential in game purposes...One of these buttons near the door is a blocker for the oppositions gate button.

RED or BLUE buttons - they are the oppositions buttons within your base, one fires a 6 grenade blast into the corner or the lower rear corridor, another raises a weapon jump able gate in the ramp near the team one.

sECret! - there is a secret in both bases, im going to change one of them, hide it somewhere else. don't go finding the secret in the oppositions base! -not the "shooting the pharoah in the head/balls secrets, though they are also secrets..

the flag room grenade "defense" position - it was for a bit of varied offense defense, i think it needs more space though, so plans to modify it.. yep

lEdGed camping spots - there are numerous narrow ledges, flow enhancers, and small triangular perches, some very well hidden, but in integral locations.

PerSOnal tELePOrter - its easy to dive into the pool for both enviro, or medkit, and pop right back out via the jumpads, and if you want a teleporter the same risk must be taken. However the teleporter will always return you to either the pool or the cage in your teams yard. If you are sent to the pool you always get another teleporter on the way out and also are awarded something from using it. (this might be broken .. i've been hopscotching all over the map..) this idea is still rough, so if you can think of some manner modify it and improve its participation... do tell...

I can appreciate what you have going on but it would seem to me you need to simplify.

thanks for the critique, now there is a new file available

It's not just 1 area. Just seems, imo, you have too much going on. Maybe trying to squeeze more than needed into 1 map.

you may have been right, i did quite a few things to this since you commented, check the BETA, as your comment related to the preview, not the bETa.

ok i did a couple quick things and put the latest compile up in dropbox and also the map file

ps- i noticed my alterations caused a thingy next to the door and a caulk spot near there too. ignore them, :d

btw, i play with cg_fov 111 or 113

pics moved to 1st post

ok a beta is ready for downloading!

couple of things:

1. the portalskybox is new/being worked on
2. the center area was just reworked but is not finished, i'd like suggestions
3. weapon placement outdoors..... im sort of wary to put weapons in the training yard area. but im open to item placement critique and suggestions..
4. is the quad room too small?
5. keep in mind this map is designed for a highly co-ordinated team

I'm not going to bother with your stuff, because I feel strange spending my time reviewing stuff from someone that posts on two accounts.

im just being

why floor texture on the walls?

which?

although a label says ground/floor.... we do find rocks in space....

The white\red checker, you can see it in the screenshot. Looks very strange.
