To avoid too many files, I've mooved the particular textures in the MyLevel Package. Unfortunately, some decorations were not included in this transformation, and I had to update the file with all packages. If you still miss one, you can find the complete version at : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/amisa2/ctfsilver2.zip Hope this help and sorry for the inconvenience.

Reviewer AMmayhem Awe Score:  2.0/3 Date 10-07-2003 Build Score:  2.0/3 Review Schema Cast Score:  1.5/3 User Point:  +1 Overall Score:  6.5/10 AWE: 2 I'll start with the down side of this map: it's all gray. Ok, it's really silver, as the title, and the author's readme states, and is what he intended. The texturing mostly comes from El Chicoverde's ChiconruinsPack, and a couple other packs. Which oddly enough, is included in the zip, but all the textures used from the packs are in the MyLevel package... As far as the texture usage goes, it's great, it's just boringly gray through the whole map. Architecture looks great, although the textures really help cover up it's basic nature. It truely isn't that complex, but it looks like it's part of a nice looking village. Good archways, window trim, nice peaks to halls, etc. Lighting could use some work. Kind of fake looking, not quite subtle enough, too much white lighting around, and where there are color changes, they're too drastic. Some lens flares are too large too. Quite a few of the lanterns for light sources are just hanging in mid-air, should be attached to something. Other flames aren't placed exactly over their respective sconces either. BUILD: 2 Map lacks some sounds, as the flames burn rather quietly. There is some wind, crickets, and water sounds, but they're just not enough. What helps the build score a lot is the added prefab decorations. One does look like a giant candle stick, but the rest look pretty cool, including the chandalier, and a cool torch holder. Also, the map has doors that open both ways, but their downfall is that they're bump triggered. There wasn't anything mentioned about who made the prefabs though. CAST: 1.5 2 main things that bring this score down is item placement, and layout. The map is really large, but the bots only use one route out of several options. The alternative routes are longer, don't flow as well, and are truely out of the way. Inventory is a bit sparse, too many weapons are clumped at the spawn points, and not enough in between bases. Not to mention the Instagib rifle is located in the map too, which the bots do grab on occasion. Plus the shield belt and U-damage are way too close together, same with health vials. Bot play is great, at least along the route taken. SCORE: 5.5 The map really deserves more. Just too many things that bring the score down, mostly sloppy mistakes, but not all. If the map could be tweaked and refined more, it would be an excellent map.

The packages can all be found here. I felt no dismay When I tried to play: And the map is pleasant and dear. todeshexe 06-09-2003 02:47 PM MDT Rating: 7   yeah the map is cool... finally was able to play it.. was forth the 5 d/ls - hehe a must have in HD, in my opinion The_Real_Meneer_Aard 06-10-2003 03:08 AM MDT Rating: 8   after 3 dl's i finally got it to work. This map is almost as good as shadar. Bots are a real challenge. the overall map is decorated really nice (but i spotted 2 flames about a meter beside the torch). only bad point is DONT put the instarifle in cuzit make people too powerful. AMmayhem 10-07-2003 09:32 AM MDT Rating: 6   The flow and lack of use of the whole map really hurt the score. Otherwise this would be an awesome map. Still worth keeping. Cobra 10-07-2003 07:44 PM MDT Rating: 7   Great job. Next time if you have another one like that.Tell me if you whant me to path it. Cause it is a shame,I good map like that, whit bots. That only take one route. Shao 10-10-2003 09:51 PM MDT Rating: 7   yeah , I like Gray but is too Gray!!! anyway Nice Map. Hitoshi 10-17-2003 06:36 AM MDT Rating: 7   I think the author did very well to pull this off. It's hard to make one color look interesting and the great architecture makes it work. darkjaxx 10-23-2003 11:38 AM MDT Rating: 7   Real silver! I really like this! RulzZ XepptizZ 10-06-2004 06:34 PM MDT Rating: 7   A bit busy at some places. Theme has been worked out flawless. but those supershocks are overdoing it. I mean to put an OverkilL weapon practicly next to the flags...? On the otherhand the RDMR is very nice stashed away. And the map definitly to bright. More shadow brings out the torches more. Personally I prefer roman architechture, but my personal tast shouldn't have effect on this fine piece of work. By the way. DarkjaxX, It's very very odd to give a map a load of compiments and afterall rate it a medium 7. EDIT: With the third one in the latest additions it made me wonder who actually made this level?
