Slainchild 01-31-2005 07:41 PM MST   There are four things keeping me from downloading this map. No description - Add a description so I know what the map is like. No Screenshot - I have no idea of what it looks like. The filesize - At under 600kb, I can tell it's not going to be very detailed or well made. The fact that it's your first map - afaik, you should never upload your first map... Nillian 01-31-2005 08:38 PM MST Rating: 4   You never know, it might be amazing! Couchman, if you could stick up some screenshots / description that would be good :-) Downloading anyway... EDIT : Downloaded and played. First things first. For your first map, it's good. The terrain is well textured and not to steep where it shouldn't be. There are a couple of things that bugged me, but since it's your first map it's understandable. First of all, there was a large BSP error (slight HOM effect and see-thru floor) near the lightning gun. Second, I got stuck in a few places, most notably entering and exiting the underground section which leads to the teleport taking you to the sniper spot. In DM, if you get stuck in the middle of a fight and die, it's one of the most frustrating things ever! Also, the item placement was a little dodgy, lots of 'caches' of lots of items together. Having said all those bad things about it, I have to say that you mustn't think I'm picking on you :P Ignore the score, this map is good for a first, and you show a good grasp of the editor. The ambient sounds were perfectly placed, if a little loud at times, but well done on that. All in all, a sterling first effort at mapping, sooo much better than the usual "I stuck a 'deemer in a box w00t look at me killing u l4m3rzz!!!!!!!111!!one!one!111" Keep it up, you're sure to become a fine mapper in the future! EDIT (again) : Use the NaliCity readme generator in future! Tried it with bots for a while, they are good, but they don't snipe in the sniping spot. Investigate "AI Script" actors to give them a helping hand in the future :-) Couchman 01-31-2005 08:52 PM MST   DUDE, im sorry about the BSP error, i made a LITTLE change and i didnt test it after and only after i submitted it did i realize it, i was so upset i thought i would be banzored from here, i wasnt sure how to upload stuff so i wasnt sure it would be here, but im glad it did! thanks dude youve really encouraged me to keep on trying! more maps to come!!!!!!!!

It will encourage more people to download your level. :) sandorski 02-01-2005 08:27 PM MST Rating: 4   Ditto Nillians comments. Good first Map with the usual Noob mistakes. ;-) In time these types of things will never happen and/or will seem too easy to fix. You'll be more worried about which Emitter to use or what Theme to make the Map.
