As for the map, it looks like a box with a flag on each side and a wall in the middle. You need some... paths... rooms... something. Also, the transparent walkway looks really bad. When was the last way you saw a walkway made entirely of glass? :) And it doesn't even look like glass -- overlapped transparency in q2 = yuck.

*makes a note to completely remove the glass texture in the next BSP pack*

And thanks for activating my account.

Title: Re: Map
Post by: jitspoe on August 07, 2005, 11:50:57 PM: Lights will take on the color of the surface that emits them, so if you use a blue light texture, it will emit light with a blue tone. The light above the flag... is, uh, a wedge?

Just out of curiosity, what kind of setting is this supposed to be? Seems a little odd to have 50-foot tall walls of plate metal. Perhaps you should make th ceiling a little lower, use a cement texture, and go for more of an indoor warehouse look? Try to aim for something a little more realistic. Also, the angled metal supports are overlapping the wood a lot and don't meet up cleanly. Looks like you probably used rotate. Don't ever use rotate for arbitrary angles. It's better to use clipping planes or vertex manipulation.

Post by: CoNFiNeD on August 08, 2005, 02:57:35 PM: Yes, this is my first map, and i know i shouldnt release it, but i think its pretty good for a first map. Just try it out and give me some constructive criticism.

So heres the beta..
