After about 6 and 1/2 weeks of work, and 1 hour 17 minutes of compiling, I present to you...
The Fridgid North Beta 1 !!

-2 Flag CTF (5 points Each)
-1 Mid Flag (2 points)
-7 Spawn points around each base with Carbines
-1 CTP1 texture used, all others stock textures
-Multi-pathed, and well paced

The Screen Shots do not do the map justice, please have a look at this map, as we lost of most of our lives to it.
-Cusoman and Rick
EDIT: Beta2 was released awhile ago:
Download b2 ---> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CIPWOTL3
-
looks aight...reminds me of a bigger version of nml
-
Rick showed me that map before 2nd base was there.
Was nice.
-
Wow, that map looks very nice. Glad you could finish it. I would walk around it but it says the dplogin server is down and i cant download it. So once i can download it i say more.

But anyways, Looks good ;)

But anyways, Looks good ;)
XD I didn't even notice. I thought it looked like Geodude :P
Edit: Some people needed a different download link:
BETA 1 >>>> http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/69014/fridgid-b1-zip.html
-
Finally you finished it, It looks good:)
-
Wow. for a lack of a better word, this map is intense. It is HUGE. The terrain is amazing (but because of that there are many one pixel misalignments).
Some crits:
1. the wire things in the middle looks too thick to be wires.
2. the broken platforms are great.
3. the lights in one of the blue tunnels are misaligned
4. on the ramps up to lower flag, the rock on the edges don't look natural.
5. the plants in one of the tunnels are growing out of a rock, not exactly likely. the ones at the end of the mist wall.
6. on the high tunnel headed to the second flag needs some light.
7. The underground river is a great touch.
I might post some more later before i leave for vacation.
Great Map
-
Yay, you released it! 69 ftw :)
-
I cant download the map from either cusoman's links.
-
*frigid. And the filename better be frig :D
-
*frigid.
I thought you posted that already, then I realized we have 'ridgid' and 'fridgid.'
-
I cant download the map from either cusoman's links.
I can but MegaUpload takes 4 years for me. We need Smokey's site back :\.
-
www.loluploads.com
Put it there
EDIT: Lol , i didnt read ur post carefully.
Site doesnt work.
-
Mhm, if he wants 2 I could put it on my site 4 him, just a suggestion.
-
do it pls :D so i can dl the map
-
Ahahahhahahahahahaha, look at the main page. http://wateva.uberskilled.com/ Looks like someone hacked my upload system :P. This will be fun repairing. I'll b able to host it when i get this fixed. Everything sorta died. Looks like my site is starting from scratch again. And my wiki.
-
Come on Cam, stop spamming the thread :P Please? I hope you get the site back up and running but we really need to get some feedback for the map, so we can start b_2.
Edit: hmm none of the download links are working for me either..
-
Exactly, I'm sorta trying to get a link that everyone can download it from, including me.
-
Ok, for those that wanted it I managed to get someone to download it for me and here it is. Hopefully this link works.

Wewt it works , thx. :D

:D Thx Cam!
Please review and post feedback, I really want this map released :)

Congratulations, this map looks nice and in my opinion it will be fun to play. I found some texture misaligns in the walls and in the terrain but they are easy to fix. I took some screenshots, fix these:

(http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/8251/sshot004tb5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
Maybe you should apply the snow texture to those faces?
(http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4192/sshot006te2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
(This pic is taken in front of the house)
That small thing in the right side, is there a leak?
(http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/3276/sshot007gq2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
(This pick is taken in front of the house as well)
Is this a leak too?
(http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/7978/sshot008kf7.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
Is it just me or does the water look weird? Maybe you should make the water brush a bit bigger.
(http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/7392/sshot009ey2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
Maybe you should apply a metal texture to the bottom of the lamp?
Well, that's it mostly. Fix the misaligns (and the leaks?) fast, I want this map to be released =).
-
Thx For the Feedback!!!!!!
I will start working on b2 immediately, or just have rick do it :)
-Cusoman
-
ha nice guys...i cant wait also :)
-
@Laged: There is no leaks in the map, as you can see it is fully compiled and lit with no errors :):)
-
That's right, they just look exactly like a leak in my opinion. Anyway, you should fix them.
Also, some planks are too thick. I would change the texture too.
(http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/3879/sshot002xv8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
In my opinion a plank should be like this one:
(Even if the texture is misaligned I think it looks better)
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4692/sshot005wr4.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
And one more thing, check all the walls, there are many textures misaligned.
-
Thankyou for pointing it out Laged :) Cusoman will probably be starting _b2 tommorow or the next day.
-
Kk, I hope you release it soon. Now that I remember, I took some more sshots =D:
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/7982/sshot011fp9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
I think the snow under the ice looks ugly and unreal. Also, I think it would look better if you made the water brush high enough to touch the ice.
(http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/1498/sshot012eg5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
Put a box or something there so it's possible to DJ up there =)
(http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/9617/sshot016qu4.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
It would be nice if you put some kind of ramp, like a barrel or something, there. Then it would be possible to jump to the 2nd flag fast from there.
Well, that's all this time. No no, wait, also, check the plants, most of them are inside a wall. =)
Yep, that's all. Release the b2 fast, thanks. =)
-
:) Glad you are taking such an interest in this map Laged. I will do my best to make sure b2 is released for you.
About 2nd flag, there are two in game jumps to grab 2nd really fast. One is off the of the triangle thing in the water, and the other is going off of the bd ice behind flag 1 at the right angle :) And there is a dj for flag 2 off of the terrain :D
I wanted to make 2nd flag sort of a bonus, so if you don't grab it with speed first, you really don't go there at all.
About your 2nd picture. You can get up there with the barrel located to the right of it :P and go right to that ledge without having to go "threw" it
Thank you for the feedback
-Cusoman
-
Oh kk, didn't try too many jumps on the map. I'm taking this much interest because I'm pretty sure I'll like this map alot when it's finished =)
Good luck with it =D
-
Map looks good to me guys, I will test it when I get home.
Just at work and such a slow day that I checked the forums! :)
But map does remind me of a geodude of some sort.
Keep up the good mapping.
-
Thanks Termi
-
looks a lot like my country
Canada
-
good job,ok,for that tchat wanted
-
(http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/3879/sshot002xv8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
Maye make this plank so that doesn't look like it's glued to the side of the barrel, have it come up a little higher. and if it changes a jump, then move the barrel down or something
-
Sexy map Cuso and Rick. Good work.
-
Ok, Cuso and I have been busy lately but now Cuso is going to finish making the _b2.
If you guys see him on vent/irc/ingame just keep pushing him to do it, so he actually does :)
-
69/Crab

Alright, Cuso got grounded so he had to send me the .map file to final compile(6 hours, lucky im gonna get a new computer for chrissy).
And here it is, frigid_b2.
Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow.
Please consult your server administrator for more information.
:(
Heres a link to it from megaupload, but if someone could attach it their post it would be awesome! :D

I can do that. I wish he would use Xfire more.
-
Uhm, I just checked it out - I don't really see what has changed since _b1.

Mirror: Linky :) (http://www.apoboc.com/uploads/cameron/frigid_b2.bsp)

I've recorded a demo of some things you may wish to revive and uploaded the map to the beta server. Let me know if you need the login - can't remember if I've given it to you or not.
-
I recently matched on this map and have decided to properly finish it. The 2nd beta is currently uploaded to the er33t servers and works well for 3v3+
After the mapping contest is over, I will release beta 3, hopefully the last beta.
-Cusoman
-
The map was fun as all hell cuso, you should finish it as soon as you can so you can get a fully polished final in rotation.
next time let the other team at least play it once before you match on it though. lol

We really should make another map together. Was so much fun!
-
Rick and I have decided to remake this map from scratch, with similar gameplay and layout, but with much improved mapping techniques. We will call the first release of this reconstruction beta 3, so stay posted for frigid_b3 :))))

Never gonna happen.... =P

We will probably drop it like last time :P BUT ITS WORTH A SHOT!!!
-Cusoman
-
It seems like I'm remaking the whole entire map for b3. So far so good. Suckbawlz cusoman. :D
-
w00t.
-Cusoman

Well, I've been working on the bases of this map.
I need suggestions of what to use to fill some paths and anything else is also welcomed.
PLEASE DO NOT POST ABOUT THE TEXTURE MISALIGNMENTS.
Check it out, leave soem feedback.
Everything relies on a mid, so I need suggestions for a mid and how to make mid not so much of a bottleneck.
(Remember, this is only a base of the map)

Make an arch above a route, then giant icicles hanging from it and some have fallen to the ground. There's a neat idea for you :P

Well in _b2, there was this ramp thing just out of main. That might be a good spot, thanks.
-
I took a look to b2 and i like previous rock texture more. This grey feels cold. And for more filler ideas, basic rocks, rock pillars, sunken barrels maybe tilt them a bit and would be cool if you could get a fallen tree there. Also a collapsed arch
-
Why not have some nice looking snowy rocks jutting out of the ground, providing players with jumps? To beautify it, you can also add small icicles under it. For fun, see if you can add a snowman! Maybe that'll provide you with a doublejumping position.

Balls are pretty hard to create, i tried to create a ball once but from close distance it looked really blocky:/
-
Well, one way that would work would be to make the snowman a model. They're not really hard to model, I'd do it if I had the time, but you could take transparent blocks and put them in the same place. That way you could actually use the snowman.
-
Music, thats an awesome idea. Cuso, I <3 the 69 idea :D

Could you download the map next time *sigh*. It has been re-made for _b3 and doesn't look like 69 anymore. Oh, btw, I'm the only one working on this map right now, so intercourse cusoman.
Cusoman <3
-
Rick you selfish piece of s**t :D jk jk. Why isnt Cuso working on it? And aww no more 69 :(
-
RICKKK..... When do i get to make my box ? Still waiting for you to send it :/
-
your box?
-
what has changed about this map it still looks the same.

Your either retarded OR you downloaded the wrong map. This is the dl for b3_a7 http://maps.digitalpaint.therisenrealm.com/map/frigid_b3_a7/
-
I would dl it but I'm too lazy to. I might try it anyway. If I do, I'll post back with what I think.
-
Ooo. I liked it. I'm not a mapper so idk what to tell you to critique :D (in other words, there's nothing i'd change). Are you going to put in a blue base soon? And I really liked that jump to get to the high part of the map with all the platforms sticking out of the wall. Gj Rick and Cuso. (YOU MADE ME MISS LAGJUMPS 0 IN THE JUMP SERV TO SEE IT :(
-
There isn't that much to judge on, but:
Screen 1: Misaligned light textures
Screen 2: General misalighned wood with vertical (not right angled) ends
Screen 3: WTF is that meant to be, a barrel with a boner?
Screen 4: Random floor intersecting misaligned wood brushes ew.
There are plenty of seemingly randomly placed floor-intersecting misalighned planks of wood all over the place :/
Like the trees though :)
-
Dude, read Rick's post again.
PLEASE DO NOT POST ABOUT THE TEXTURE MISALIGNMENTS.
-
Ownt.
-
Fair enough. He just sent me a message on msn linking me to this page and telling me to give feedback, so I didn't read the whole thread. At least 2 of the screenshots were still useful :)
-
Ahahahahaahh barrel with a boner. We should post that in that thread about carpathian having that sexual stuff :).
-
dont like it.. can plants grow on ice? or on snow...? idk u ask me
-
dont like it.. can plants grow on ice? or on snow...? idk u ask me
If you don't know why would I ask you?
And is the only reason you don't like it is because of those plants growing on snow/ice?
Viciouz! Thanks for posting and giving me some feedback :P
-
I agree with link, plants growing on ice completely ruins the map. Totally.
But seriously, I like it so far. Depending on where the mid is, certain paths seem rather useless. I'll have to wait until you finish the mid.
-
nahh its not because of that it looks.... well it looks "too good to be true" usually maps with good looking dont play well.. in my expierence besides maps like ... pbcup bla bla and bla
-

So your saying, everyone but the makers of pbcup maps can't make maps with both good gameplay and looks?
-
so far i havent seen it
-
I don't think bad looking maps play better...this map will probably turn out nice.
-
so far i havent seen it
Jopezzz? Check out some of his maps.
-
Rick is right. Jopezzz is a good mapper, and does he do maps for the PBCup? I don't think so.
-
his maps dont have good looking terrain all of his/her corners are straight not curved or anything
-
Terrain isn't everything.
-
Terrain isn't everything.
Agreed. I think the style of his/her maps are great. Plus, in my book I really don't give a (explicit) about terrain in a map, as long as you can do the jumps, I'm fine.
-
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
-
Wassup shep.
-
lolwut.
Ps. I know that the textures are misaligned.
-
Zomg CUSTOM TEXTURES??????????????????? Nice naming scheme btw.
-
Oh very nice map! pls make a final-version ;)
-
Does shep still baaaaaa?
-
mhm.
-
kewl.
-
Should really hurry up and finish this.
