CursedSoul1 08-08-2005 07:52 AM MDT   A week? Could easily done within an hour though. Good luck on your next maps bro :) i wont rate this map, i cant really say that this is a layout, its more like a few platforms floating in space, connected with jumppads. There isnt really any lighting to mention and the execution is very simple. Personally, id give it about a 3. An encouraging 3 :) have fun mapping edit: shank, i did open the map in ued, as i do with every map i download. Though you have lots of lightactors in your map, even those couldve been done in an hour. all im saying is, now it looked like a lot of work, but in a few weeks and/or months of practice, youll understand that everything you did now, is mere childsplay :) keep practicing :) Kantham 08-05-2005 06:00 PM MDT Rating: 4.5   As i mentioned on the forums. the phobos2 skybox is killing my grafic card with the layout you created. This is about 3 level, there is a hole on each side where you can get on the 3rd floor to get on the top where you can grab the ltg and enjoy the hitscan party. Same for the shock rifles on the 2nd floor This is a first map, the author did his best to play with lightning and give it a different shade of red and green. But the phobos 2 skybox destroyed the map. Aalexanderrr 08-06-2005 07:25 AM MDT Rating: 7   Nice map!! Nice theme. You'd better change the skybox! Try to add new textures:change the planet texture to light green...

The only poor area is looking towards the top tier, at times dropping to 37 fps. Some work is needed there. The platform layout is far too simple and uninspiring. There's an excessive amount of health littered around too. _shank 08-06-2005 03:51 PM MDT   As you can see i have updated the map to prevent the FPS from dropping. I cannot change the colour of the planet as that would require me to change the lighting. Open the map in the edtor to understand how much work has gone into the lighting. The map layout is simple, but so is DM-Morpeus. I spent quite some time planning the gameplay and the layout reflects that, as i said before none of the elements in the map has been made from a eyecandy point of view. kais 08-06-2005 07:10 PM MDT Rating: 4.5   The layout is really plane, and the lighting isn't all that good eighter. I can't see how the auther put that much time into creating this map, but thats not the issue here. Though like it says in the readme, the map is made for gameplay, not looks. It doesn't really play all that special with normal weapons, it is kind of fun with instagib though. A tip to _shank; use more textures, even though you dont make a map for the looks, a plane-looking map is never fun to play. gl in the future:) redfist 08-07-2005 01:30 AM MDT   I did not play it,but a falling map is just awefull even though I know it's part of the seen. But looking at the screenshots it looks like a pretty well thought out game. And I really despise the idea of how long it takes to do a level,that guy up there is relentless on trying to make mappers feel crappy,not allways,hell I take a month to 3 months to come up with a map,so screw that crap. Also i think if you made the sky just all black for this map would be a good thing,it looks like a rocking level . Rock on ................... iron12 08-08-2005 10:38 PM MDT Rating: 6.5   I like these kind of maps. Played good. Lots of fun.
