Quick little dm map I'm currently working on.

wow, looking very good so far, my only problem with it is the white/grey pipes seem to stand out too much, they dont match the "feel" of the rest of the textures
 
You know, I think I'm a pretty good mapper. Then I see what Dux does and I......cry.

I hate you Dux.
 
Outsanding, Report when your done. I want to run your map on my server.
Hey man, are you entering the Map Competition?
Because if you are, then there will be some great competition.
I also hope your map isnt like those maps that look great, but run like shit (30 fps and under is shit) even with a Radeon 9800xt 256MB.
People dont understand that you have to keep it balanced, and use the tools that are given.
 
dude keep the clutter and litter out!

i see theres not much crap to thro about with gg

thats so much better than shitloads of crap scattered around

:)

Yeah, it annoys me too. Just happens to be the one decent curved pipe that doesn't come in the alternate rust skin. I'll have a fiddle later.

I doubt I'll enter it. But if I feel drunk enough after christmas then I may. As for performance, I only have a Ti4800se, it runs well enough with the action going (while hosting) so it should be fine. I'd like to have made it even more detailed - I did plan to be able to pull up the entire floor with the grav gun but I think the server might blow up if I did that. So limited myself to 5 tiles, which you can see in the pictures.

Thanks for comments.
 
Shaping out really nicely, I hope to see more of this! ( Like the rest of the map so I can make some ideas on how well it will play )
 
Looks good man, reminds me of unreal tournament...what actually is the map about?
 
Holy sh*t, this looks amazing. Reminds me from Duke3D in some ways :O

You'd have to be drunk not to enter it :p Beautiful map (judging from the screenshots). The map that will win the contest will be just mindblowing BTW :).

I disagree, they look fine to me :|

Me likey! If every amateur map had this level of skill put into it, I'd play DM more often.

Is there a story behind the setting?
 
It reminds me of a UT map as well.. which is good since UT has always had gorgeous art direction.

I don't know how people can bust on Source with beautiful stuff like that.
 
WOW!!!!!!!! Has a UT kinda feel, I was thinking about doing a map but after seeing this one, I think ill stick to checkers.
 
Looks nice. You even got compliments from Cliffe!
 
Ah thanks everyone. I was asked to submit it to adrenaline-gamer 2, I agreed, so -

Is this a competition map?

It looks fantastic. I just wonder what your plans are with it?

It looks like a perfect AG2 map, btw.
 
Don't tease me like this, its mean :(

I'm going to poke you with a stick until you get this finished!
 
Hey Dux, not to rush you but what kinda time frame are we looking at for completion?
 
God, I was all ready to post my map off on monday, Im not sure i will now.. :O
