Quietus 06-28-2004 06:33 PM MDT Rating: 4   This oversight regarding texture packages is growing tiresome. Not only does the map itself extract by default to a useless folder with the same name as the map, containing another folder with the same name as the map. When you finally manually move all the contents to their relevant map, texture and music folders and finally get to run it, it bombs due to the lack of yet another texture package. Note to all mappers:- Please, please include all texture packages necessary to run a map. I personally feel the the MyLevel trick is the best option, happy to settle with a maximum of 9 from NC. The extra 1 point from bonus content and extra finesse is not worth all this grief with uploads, I feel. Just a zip file with your map and a pic for all those who go by that alone before even downloading is content enough. If it's truly a good map, it will get commented and therefore downloaded anyway. Gripe over. :) Update:- Having got to finally play the map having downloaded the necessary files from the link provided, I must say that I am even more disappointed now having done so. :( The map is very basic, with brushes of all shapes plonked here there and everywhere, looking very much like the first time you ever fire up UnrealEd. There are bugs aplenty, especially near the sniper rifle ammo and invisibility. There is a wooden block floating in the middle of nowhere, which disappears when you turn round to look at it! To top it all off, the music track supplied with the map is very reminiscent to Usher's 'Yeah', which I can't stand. That is not to say that I disliked the map more due to my tastes in music, but it does not fit well with this style of game. On the good side, it appears as if the author has imagination and the willingness to give atmosphere to the map, which is always good. The setting is nice, it's just let down by a lack of experience within the editor. All in all, a big room for improvement.

Very big, dark and lots of details like all sniper love. I can see this one will be very succes among the zark sniper servers. Get your a$$ moving and do another one ;) Jez 10-09-2004 07:00 PM MDT   The MyLevel trick? I *HATE* it when mappers use that name. I have downloaded lots of maps that use a texture with that filename, but you can only have 1 file with that name in the folder at any one time, so I end up keeping the biggest and hope everything looks ok. ugh. The same goes for the quake3 & quake3c texture files. Note to mappers: Please use original names for your texture files if you make them. Most of you do, so that's good. MartinW 10-10-2004 06:39 AM MDT   Stop posting unqualified comments Jez. Until now I read only two of your comments but I am already convinced you do not know anything about UT or the editor, you do not even know the retail maps. You gave CTF-Gauntlet_CEV2 a 6.5 while it definitely deserves a 0. It is obvious that you don't know what the MyLevel trick is so don't post a comment about it.
