Very detailed! Good job Krypt.
Like it.

I absolutely love that shading technique :-) I used to use it a lot, but never got far with it. For the map, I think it is leveled evenly as far as polygon placement since this is HTF, and the GFX look nice, since I love those colors Gj

Thanks Ivel and mrv for the comments. I'm glad you enjoy it.  Is there anything you see that maybe could use some work? (Since this is sort of my beta version of the map...hoping to fix all polybugs and other mishaps for another version soon)

[Wraithlike]

Ummm. Not really much that I can say about it that I haven;t said directly to you, but I really like the looks, and teh layout is nice.

[Keron Cyst]

Dang. That was disappointing. (Viewing the map in PW after viewing the overview, that is)

• Make it twice as big as it currently is
• Scatter the spawn points, DM-style. If you cluster spawn points together, the HTF-flagger will just camp at base and it promotes flag-stalemate-like gameplay, which gets old very quickly.

EDIT Forgot to add: then perhaps I'll wypt. it

[Krypt_]

Haha. Thanks Keron for the advice. As far as waypointing goes, I'm talking with Wraithlike atm and he is giving the waypointing a go. Ran into one problem, but he's on top of it. If you want to still waypoint and try to "beat out" Wraithlike go for it haha. Or you can wait until I *maybe* make a bigger sized version, see below for the "size-talk".

With size, I'm afraid to mess with it to be honest. I figured since many htf maps these days are huge and since its hard to find full games in htf...I figured that a smaller 2 vs. 2 or maybe 3 vs. 3 htf would be better for those interested in joining a fast game. Convenience reasons of course. Whadya think, go for a larger size? I could always fool around with it.

Thanks again Keron!

I wish there's an easy way to make the size of maps larger just by stretching the entire polygons. But the real problem would be that the scenery would get big as well.

Small and chaotic. I like it.

[Krypt_]

Alright ladies and gents. Updated to version 1.1! Be sure to re-download the new version with various updates and waypoints are finally ready to go!

All changes can be found in the first post. And no, the size has not been edited in anyway. I still want to keep it small so as to keep it chaotic as Blue-ninja pointed out.

Shading is good, but not realistic. Scenery placement is very good...overall, an ok map!
