! :drink: ! evillair

IMO The best looking custom map for ET at this moment!

Really good work!

(damocles) #10

Very nice looking map.

I particularaly like the rocks scattered around the floor. Did you make these in Radiant or are they models? If radiant, what techniques did you use?

(evillair) #11

Thanks again.

Those are models, I use 3dsmax5.

Edit:

Does anyone have any feedback?

(Spookstah) #12

Great map man, but i couldnt resist to start bug hunting, things a have found so far. (didnt have much time yet)

  1. Bushes on the rock close to the allies spawn float in the air (no pic needed)

  2. You can get up the rock close to the allies command post and cross a huge part of the map, also the rock has a leak.

The rock to get up.

The leak.

Another leak at corner of a bunker? and the rock.

  1. You can even go further but you need to use the telegraph/power cables, wont happen in a full server quickly, when you have crossed the gap between the 2 rocks you can go up the rock again and get a new view on another section of the map.

View on the bunkers and objective spot.

I didnt have time to see if you could go further from there because i feld to death :banana:
If i have time 2morrow i will try to check the map further.

Keep on the good work, it really looks great already atm.

(evillair) #13

I fixed all of those plus a few more that I found while looking for them.

Many thanks, very helpfull.

Hopefully you’ll find more next time. The more bugs like this people find the less bugs people on a server playing the final will.

(bump)
Has anyone played it?

I’d like to get more feedback is possible, or I’ll assume the map is perfect and release it soon. :wink:

(cremator) #15

downloading now: will follow up with feedback

(cremator) #16

Alright, I can’t show you pics unless you want to get on irc.

Errors/Problems

  1. The flak cannon shaders aren’t working for me, i see the wheel and barrel with the black outline on it.
  2. The “Construction MG42” The sand bags behind it looked weird and the mesh above isnt clipped in certain spots (intentional?)

Personal “petpeeve” most of the metal doors have a wood sound, isnt an error, just seemed weird to me.

Nice map BTW.

(evillair) #17

I’ll look into thos problems. I might remove the sandbags all together since they don’t actualy do much in terms of covering the player.

How do you guys think it plays etc?

(Fenris) #18

Yes I have it in rotation on my server so it comes up every 8th map, I like the new settings with more open spaces and the fact that allies permanently gain the flag after breaching the wall. Apart from that I have not played it enough to notice any problems. I’ll get back whenever I have anything but I find the map great in it’s present state.

(evillair) #19

Thanks,

Fenris, what’s your server?

I saw 2 servers running this map, one I couldn’t join either since it was low ping only (even with a few reconnect attempts) and the other I had to download some other maps and it would pop up a webpage and close et before it was done downloading all of them.

I’ve gotten a few great responses and feedback so far but the overall impression I am getting is that most people don’t want to play this map.
I’m doing this for you guys since I’m not looking for a game dev job since I already have one (not a mapper though).
I am doing this for fun and to try and give you guys a good map to play.

If only a few people are willing to give a few minutes to try and help me make this map better what’s the point of me wasting weeks to try and do something for you.

Sorry, I’m old and cranky. :wink:

(chavo_one) #20

It’ll be alright! :drink:

I think this forum is just a microcosm of ET participants. The lack of feedback here has no bearing on the gaming public at large. (At least I hope!) Just give the people a final that is free of visual defects, and the server admins will put it in rotation. For goodness sake, this map is a million times better than some of the other, to remain nameless, maps on some server rotations!

I’d help, but I barely have enough time to map, much less play the game!
