Well, here it is if you want to have a look at it …

There might be some bandwidth error; not sure when that will be fixed, but is there regardless for later.

no screens?

Had a quick run through the map.

  1. The terrain looks somehow unnatural. Too many triangles there - looks too noisy. Also try to use phong-shading on the terrain, then it probably looks smoother.
  2. The map is way too dark in some places. Add _minlight to your worldspawn to brighten them.
  3. A little bit odd architecture. Some very sharp edges here and there.
  4. Many untextured (caulked) faces in field of view - one big ceiling-brush completely missing?
  5. Some signs to lead the players to the objectives would be fine.
  6. The grid on the commandmap is somehow too small spaced.
  7. If you wanted to name the map “The Factory”, the correct german translation would have been “Die Fabrik” (Fabrik is a “female” noun in German)

Happy bugfixing. :lookaround:

Actually, most of the darkness and odd archatecture was intentional, and the terrain has already been phong-shaded. The only thing that wasn’t intentional was the gender of Fabrik, as I went by memory. I suppose I could say I intended it to be a dative or genitive noun, but then I wouldn’t know my german grammatical syntax …

Thanks though, I’ll I plan on changing it around anywas sometime in the future.

I had some screens up earlier in another post, but a moderator came around and edited them out of my post I think. I could post them again I suppose.

Ok, I have been majorly revamping the map … I took out the terrain and added some new graphics and redesigned some of the main areas to fit the new textures … I am thinking about replacing the sky with another brighter sky with a sun light source, should look pretty cool when I am finished.

Picture of the new courtyard …
