Here.. It... Is..... ForestOfDeath!!!- UPDATED
« on: May 27, 2007, 06:39:39 pm »
I would like to announce:
 
                                              ForestOfDeath!

This map is a piece of work, that I did. Allow me to explain.
My map is set on a jungle theme.
I also used correct shading+Lighting affect.
Some scenery will be darker than others, please notice that.
I also used special effects, to make it more realistic. Like on the building, in the center, I used cracks to give a more feel into it.

Specs:
Polygons: 271
Spawns: 36/128
Colliders: 71/128
Waypoints: None (If I get a good review, or if someone says this is good enough to be waypointed, then I will do it)

EDIT: I have updated my map. Here is a much better version.
Some credit goes to Eagle_Arrows for helping me out. Enjoy my map!

Nice, not mind blowing, but it looks like a good dm map.

I really think it should be waypointed.

You're definitely improving, but your layouts are still bad.  Add a tunnel on each side of the map; gameplay must flow.

EDIT: Where should the tunnels be?

Lol, that's not what I meant.

This is what I meant.

I also suggest you move the gray structure (bunker?) thing a bit to the left, as well as shade the area below the light in the top right corner (lacks lighting effects).

Yay, much better!
Still, I think you need to improve on layout, IOW keep it simple. Do what EA says, he seems to have this whole mapping thing figured out. The last thing is that I don't like the jagged ceiling, a few bumps and pits are ok but this seems a bit excessive.

Relax wedding...I do the same thing and find no problem with it, unless you are a 56ker :). I see what he means though. It would be helpful to hotlink your screenshots.

Well humm... I think the map is pretty decent. The most updated map of yours in definitely the best. The other caves in the other version were kinda odd. The bunker thing in the middle, whats with the unused empty space underneath it? I haven't downloaded it so excuse me if it is usable, but if not, fill it in or somethin. Make the bunker look like it actually has a base or foundation.

Otherwise, good job. How many maps have you made so far?

I think he did it on purpose.  And this is seriously off topic aswell, expect  a lock from  Gram

Your map's nice, nothing spectacular but just ... normal and doesn't hurt the eyes either.
