Will try to post the pk3 in a couple of days. Cheers!

Kinda dark, but you're probably taking screenshots in a window (overbright doesn't work windowed)

Yes I did and the level is a little dark.

Still WIP, the file is below:

edit: link removed

I used "do not enter" over the pit, but the bots still jump in. Any ideas?

put a "no drop" brush just above the bottom of the pit.  Without this, items pile up, the bots see those items, then try to recover them. 

This goes for all "pits of doom" and void maps.

Other than that it would appear that tripod has corrupted your pk3 so I can't comment further.

Can you try this link? also, I've added nodrop. haven't checked it yet.

edit: link removed

That link worked.  The map itself isn't bad, a bit dark in spots but it adds to the atmosphere.  There are also a few missing textures and it doesn't look like you positioned the nodrop brush correctly as items still pile up.

The jumppads are questionable.  The texture looks like you cut and pasted the interior of iD's jumppad into a new image.  We can't accept derivative's of non-free art.  That should be redone.

Replaced the jump pad texture and fixed the missing textures. Made the nodrop brush bigger.

Can you try now?

Just tried it, looks great dude, I really liked it, never seen another map like it, could get pretty crazy in a deathmatch hehe. The lighting seems fine, most players play with increased gamma anyway, I play with 1.4 but even at default r_gamma 1 it looked good and I could still see. Looks like that map is pretty much finished to me. By the way, the link that you have there is kinda slow, I uploaded it to my storage so people can download it alot faster.

an aesthetic bitch of mine.  The exterior areas of the map are supposed to be broken up terrain and mountainous rocks, yet the texture you've used, e7sbrickfloor2 (in the svn, btw) is a brick tile which suggests something man made and not a natural formation which throws off suspension of disbelief. 

I would suggest finding a more natural looking broken rock texture, but that is your call.

Thanks man

I agree, but I dont have the software to create textures and I didnt find anything that was suitable. Can you suggest some texture that might be suitable?

I downloaded the textures from the svn, I'm gonna go through it tomorrow.

You can always use The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) which, while it has its limitations, is more than capable of producing a good texture.

Fixed a couple of bugs.

Tried my hand with Gimp(I suck at creating texture) and created a rock texture for the walls. I modified the brick texture by removing the tile lines and used it for the brush faces facing up. How does it look now?

i dunno if you want/like it but i messed with your bounce pad a bit.

darker version

Looks cool!

I'll add it in the map, thanks!

Where did that fire come from?

That looks pretty nice, nice job man.

in the pad or the flames? if pad..photoshop

y ty

can't wait to see it ingame with my picmip 5 ;D

Prediction: Solid grey with a red blurred circle. hehe.

You might get a better looking image if you used the circ5-3.xcf source image (source/assets/textures/clown/circ5-3.xcf).

@baron:
I like the original shader for that texture better with the yellow pulse, the sin wav stretch kinda looks cheesy.  Also you should use the sfx/flame2 shader available in the project (it has a nice flare when you remember to add the -flares switch to the bsp stage of q3map2.

Replaced the bouncepad texture again. Also used flame2 for one of the lamps.

yup, that helps

@tw3k

How does the bounce pad look now?

looks good to me ;D

will be a fun map to play. maybe redshit or malikith will give it some server time :)

Ok, let me upload the final version with the .map file and the GPL text file. Do I need to include anything else, to say that it's free and anybody can use it?

Final version of the map with the .bsp, .aas and the .map file.

@leileilol/clown: can you add this to the svn?

@redshirt/malikith: can you host this in your server if you can?

Cheers!

*off the work on another map*

I talked to red last night and said he'd add it when he got some time ;D

Awesome!

thanks dude!

leileilol is the one with write access, not me.

Great map, but it needs a bit more light in some areas. I know that you want to keep the lighting with the atmosphere, but NO light is never good.

@Czestmyr

I've added some light so that the lower sidewalls are not black. But there are sill areas that are hidden in shadows.

What do you think?

It on the server at beer-garden. It's not in the rotation, yet, but has been fun to play.

Nice to know!!

How did you play it if it is not on rotation?

red hooked me up with rcon. so if you stop by the server and i'm there, or red, just give a shout.

Thanks dude, it was cool watching the DM. Would've loved to join in, but for my friggin mouse.

w3rd my mouse has been acting up !!!???wtf???!!! points straight up sometimes and mouse1 doesn't fire :S

It was fun watching people railing all the time. Should make a small map with just shotguns, now that would be fun :)

I'm working on a space map now, hope to put a beta version up soon.

Baronofhell, the lighting is MUCH better now. Good job. I like the style and atmosphere of the map. It is simple in layout, yet fun to play.

red put it in roation :) check it out @ beer-garden

Nice!

I haven't played it yet online :D

Rescued map from the depths of hell... unfortunately I can't say the same about the sources. :(

It's sad :(. It's an awesome map, with a little transformation it would fit for the other gametypes aswell.

It's a very Geometry heavy map. With some modifications I think it could be greatly improved.

This map has a curious story : it worked till OA071 ... with OA076 it stopped to work then back working again with OA081 ...
