Topic: [MAP] Finally a q3dm6 remake [beta 1000 post celebration]

IT'S ABOUT TIME I RELEASED A BETA, AMIRITE? I kkow some people have been waiting for this, but i haven't changed any gameplay yet, that's up to the community to make suggestions.

STATISTICS

-q3dm6 had over 2000 brushes, i have recreated the map with less than 500 brushes

-q3dm6 had a rustic overtone, dirty and grimy, and i am releasing this beta using the wdm4 texture set

-q3dm6 had many different textures for walls and floors, which i have reduced to about a dozen for cleanliness and gameplay (pictures are going to be below)

-q3dm6 and it's remake have different armor/weapon placements, i have removed all except for a few, and i currently have placed two YAs (please tell me which one to change to RA, or keep the same)

-q3dm6 also didn't look good (lulz) i have added some warsow banners and models, please tell me if they affect gameplay or if they are good as is

-i have retextured absolutely everything, please take a screenshot of every bug you find and post it here, just make sure it hasn't been posted already

-last thing, i have some more shaders i have not put in the level due to bad coding problems, i'll have them in by beta 3 lulz

BOUT TIEM FOR PICZ?

I hope you guys don't feel disappointed, i used to have my own textures, but i felt lazy and i think that i might add some of mine in, i'm not sure yet

BE SURE TO POST IDEAS AND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISMS OR I WILL EAT YOU ALL

Get rid of those nasty signs and put in some more complicated brushwork. I'd more readily define the edges of things since the whole map is drenched in that weird blue color.

Re: [MAP] Finally a q3dm6 remake [beta 1000 post celebration]

Wooo I can finally do bridge to rail... er, bridge to eb!

Just had a run around, it feels nice! I'm using the 'low' profile and there were a few texture and lighting bugs/weird bits, I'll get screenshots later if necessary.

I reckon the texturing needs a fair bit of work, at the moment it feels like I'm underwater or something xD
Needs some differentiation between walls/floors/ceilings, and a bit of colour variation wouldn't go astray.
Also it would be awesome to see some warsow-specific trickjumps. It's certainly fun being able to rush around doing jumps that would be impossible in Q3, but it'd be good to also have some stuff designed for warsow movement, tricky-but-useful jumps, cleverly-placed little rampy bits like on wdm5, that sort of thing.

Good work though, I'm looking forward to playing the final version of this. I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but I do reckon it could work well as a wsw duel map -- it feels a bit bigger than most of my favourites, but fast enough and interconnected enough to not be a run-and-hidefest.

edit: fwiw, the signs didn't bother me at all

Those are the exact suggestions i'd like, i don't care if you take a screenshot and edit it in paint, anything will help me, because i too want specific jumps for wsw

Re: [MAP] Finally a q3dm6 remake [beta 1000 post celebration]

Yeah sorry I realised that was a bit vague and unhelpful, I'm not very good at this sort of thing so I was hoping that those with a bit of map-design/trickjumping experience would chip in with the specifics big_smile
I will try to come up with some though.

Don't make those ramps stairs. There is no need for them to be stairs.

I'm also getting some crazy FPS drops in parts of the map and it definitely has nothing to do with tri counts.

Uh yeah it is. You made the map. I cross checked 3 of my maps to see if it was map specific and it was indeed your map causing the problems.

The billboard is still three characters too long and sideways, as it is in most maps.

There a spot where you put a 50 in a 25. Also the giant wsw decals don't work for me.

That's why I said you shouldn't use them. I think they're horrible looking first off, but don't look scaled properly either.

Re: [MAP] Finally a q3dm6 remake [beta 1000 post celebration]

All the ramps at MH area destroy the point of the whole room imo, with RL platform being a nice spot to control.

Also, I would try to make bridge2rail aswell as the jump from railplatform to ya not that easy, so there is at least a little risk.

Where's MG? You placed its ammo but I can't find the actual weapon. And what about shaft and GL?

I would prefer stairs over ramps next to RA, because I think there might be often fights where someone is coming from the lower floor. When he hits the ramp then, he will float up to RA completely, which might be annoying at times.

Re: [MAP] Finally a q3dm6 remake [beta 1000 post celebration]

in my opinion such ramp positions would be better
http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7343/mb4rw.jpg

also q3dm6 was not only one of the most popular map in duel gametype, but THE MOST popular map in q3 clanarena. Just an idea - make some places where ceiling accel (somewhere high, so accessable with rocket jump only) is possible...for example at bridge (a place near red armor in q3) and near yellow...maybe at the place from your 1st screenshot.
also in my opinion floor texture (cells) look not that good, maybe just make it same as at rocket spawn (where it was in q3, but in your map version - just a simple floor)

and ofc - original weapon / item spawns from pro-q3dm6 map would be cool :d
