hmm

you are not the 1st mapper who tried a ca map. The other mappers stopped their projects, cause they found out, that ca maps are much more complicated to map then other maps you know?

Maybe think about, why the old ra3 maps are not played very much in warsow and why everibody still plays wca1 and try again =/

i sorta liked running around it, not played it vs other players yet tho. any servers having this map in rotation ? anyway, good work, first map, not bad at all, i just hope u don't keep the bathroom theme gj dude

I think in ca maps u should be able to keep atleast 1,2k speed up, and thats hard atleast for me if the paths are so narrow and have lots of pilars and whatnot to get stuck in. Also roof should be higher from the ground. There wont be nice air frags if the enemy bounces back to ground from the roof every time u bounce him to air. Ofc these are just my opinions about ca maps, and maybe other ppl have very different view.

the most important thing in a ca map is, that it has to be possible, to change your position rapidly very fast imo

yea and add sum "ramps". ur screenshot show a very linear mapstyle where u can hardly make sum nice ramp slides or whatever. but i guess ur map is in an very early stage and u will add this kind of stuff anyways . go on mate & gl

the textures are way to bright >.<

omg texturez pleaz
is this on any server??

Blarg.

Hmm... Interesting observation. I'll have to give that a thought. Glass walls are out of the questions though. Would kind of ruin the theme of the map.

PS: thanks. \o/

k I just tested it with 4 people. There are to many edges, make it smoother to maintain the speed (yeah I know, this is hard ). More sideramps. I know its build, but I hope it will not be this bright in end release

Any specific edges that are causing trouble? Screenshots or demos would be helpfull. Personaly I'm not seeing anything specific that slows me down, then offcourse I've been jumping arround this map for ages and know it a bit too well.
Yeah don't worry about the lighting, I just threw a bunch of point lights randomly all over the place for this version.

Indeed it's rather blocky and simplistic at the moment. Ramps and ledges and trick related stuff like that is going to be my main priority for v0.4. I'm trying to avoid using jumppads though because I'm afraid they might "ruin" the theme, but you never know...

I'm not entirely sure what to do about the texturing. I want things to mostly be made out of large stone blocks, because that's basicly what pyramids and such are made of. But as you said, simply having stone textures all over the place makes everything blend together.  I'm hoping some neat lighting tricks can help differentiate the surfaces from eachother a bit more. And when I get to the point where I'm starting to add more fine detail to the level this aspect is probably going to improve significantly aswell.
I'm almost regretting not simply going with a finished texture set made by someone else, but it's going to be way more satisfying in the end when I can say I created everything myself.

Are you still working on this map?
We play it often on lan, it's awsome
we often play 1 vs 2 in CA, and it 's one of the few maps where the guy who is alone has a chance to win a round or two
