A little map... (56k burns in hell)

[Zyreal]

Can I ask what you mean with not wanting it to be on public servers yet? Do you mean non-password protected servers, or what? Cause I run a server for my clan, and it's open to the public, but I was really hoping to drop this map on there and have some playtest time with it with 24 people. A lot of our members are mappers and could give some great constructive feedback. (Plus I'd like to play the map without having to use a UK server)

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

What I meant is that it's not a "proper" release. Playtesting is fine, but I don't want to see it in regular map rotations.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Server is up now, running the correct map.

 

[Omnomnick]

Good map, very big, looks proffesional, needs skybox. Like the underground tunnels like the run-away cart and the tesla generator. My only problem is, its a bit too big for my tastes but I will still play it and I still love it, like I like the Rats map but it kinds of spoils it being that open, always pinned down by snipers

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I heavily revised the blue and red bases, making them about 30% smaller and therefore less open.

 

[Zyreal]

So, next beta soon?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

The next release should be (hopefully) the last one before I do a final release. I've had a lot of useful feedback (mainly thanks to Crispy here) and I've fixed a lot of stuff. I'll get one out tonight, assuming I get to finish up today.

 

[AciD]

So when its finished we'll have a new map on .net server

 

[delusional]

Whatever happened to this?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

It's sat patiently waiting for me to finish the skybox, then I'll release it. Christmas kind of got in the way.

 

[AciD]

exec when its done

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Wow, resurrection!

I've been kind of busy with Tide's Reach recently, but after browsing through my screenshots directory, I felt that I just had to finish ctf_omega off.

Really, all that needs doing is some prop placement, the skyboxes and soundscapes. However, I had a fit of pique and completely redid the red base. Thusly (with blue base for comparison):

I want to do a single RC release before the final. Very soon. I promise

 

[Ennui]

Red base looks snazzy as hell.

 

[Crispy]

That's some nice lighting you've got there. Has the layout changed at all, on the surface of it the changes look purely cosmetic.

/still thinks corridors may be too thin in areas...

P.S. A couple of places you can add your map to when finished:

[Pi Mu Rho]

I already widened the tunnel sections. All the other indoor areas are similarly proportioned to the Valve maps.
Layout-wise, it's the same. It just looks bigger now it has a skybox (which you haven't seen yet)

 

[Nibwoddle]

Dear lord, what an awesome map! This looks like it could be really popular. I love the feel of the place, but it looks to be impossible to actually capture the intel in just one life.

 

[Para]

Red fans in blue base? Tsk tsk

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Blue lighting wouldn't look right, but point taken. I just wanted to show that there were vents behind there, and everyone knows that vents are always lit with red lights

I've switched it to a dull yellow instead.

 

[L3N!N]

Looks awesome. CP or CTF--don't care, i like the look not gameplay D:

 

[Javert]

Looks awesome. My clan is into testing new maps so if you'd like to give them a hello they're at yinyarr.com.

We did testing for studio and orange amongst others.

 

[Shamrock]

So I heard your new map is coming out in a couple days?

Is this true?
