didnt let me upload it to the site guess cause im a member lol

Honestly.... if you guys are going to remake an older map do it right. Espcially one like shazam... All you have to do is realign like 3 brushes and add some lighting that doesn't take donkey rooster in the ass. Or, you can go the other approach... totally meddling destroy it.
-
It's not bad for a first map, but it's really bland overall. The whole map is pretty much uniformly lit, and there's no detail in the rock walls or anything.
Also, you need to just register an account.
-
awww isnt that cute jitspoe wants me to join his community....
-
lol i think its a nice map ... i love the hole speedways .. but the design is a bit excrement
-
Jitspoe, how do i get more detail out of your poor ass textures? Also, all I know about lighting is what radiocityland teaches. How do I add lighting to specific areas of the map without adding lights?
-
For lighting, your best bet would be to use the sunlight feature. If you only want to light specific areas, well, you're pretty much limited to adding lights.
As for detail -- I think what you need to do is try to make the rock look more like rock. The best way I've found for doing this is to throw some blocks up against the walls and start slicing chunks off of them with the clipping plane tool (much like slicing chunks off of a block of cheese with a knife). For an example you could look at the bombsaway .map file I posted (search the forums). The layout is extremely simple, but with a few clipped brushes, it looks a lot more natural.

I figure if it's going to be the most popular map on pub servers, it should at least be lit properly. I asked Rez for permission, so here it is:

The only thing that's different is the lighting. I just hex edited the sun angle and sent it through arghrad. This is meant to replace shazam33.bsp, so don't give it a different filename. Clients will automatically re-download it.
-
thks it lookks a lot better
-
Yep sure does... GRaFFiTi updated :)
-
Sweet =] Looks good .
-
post some ss's... i can't get on pball till i get my comp back and even then... but i would like to see the progress on that terrible map.
-
Nothing fancy. It just has some light/shadow now, instead of being uniformly lit.
-
wow... now it doesn't look so gloomy, and it might cheer people up when they play it now.
-
Reminds me of a sunday morning
-
The only time i play it is on Superman's sweet no respawn server. With those pro settings I'll never enjoy it.
-
I replace it at all OTB-Servers and there is a problem.
If i change to this map with "newmap shazam33" it works, but if the maprotation changed it, the server crashed:

Haha good job jitspoe but maybe some folks will hate you because now shaz33 is even more attractive to the newbies ;-)
-
Works just fine on GRaFFiTi servers :)
-
T3RR0R15T: That's a bug in the game, not the map.

Hm, thats bad. Ok, I wait to the next build.
Maybe a position change in our maprotation works a little bit.
-
nice :)
-
I personally dislike it.
-
You dislike Shazam33 or the recent revisions Chris?
-
he jumps on the bandwagon... like i stated before my opinion of the gameplay is still that it is poor, but it isn't so much of an eyesore now.
-
The light is good now, but I still despise the map.
-
I actually love shazam33 yah yah yah i dont care what you personally think of it but the lighting sucks now.
-
How does the lighting suck? Now it actually looks like the sun is lighting the map.
-
I like it a lot more now...
-
I dont know, when you are blue or red. cant remember, the shadows make it so you cant see people well. you could use shadows to see if people were in the high part of the bd but ou cant now. I dont know, personal liking and dislike.
-
It was ALL shadow before.
-
first time i played it, it reminded me of when you barely wake up in the morning and go outside and breathe in the fresh air. then i remembered its just a game...
-
haha, well i didnt even realise what changed 1st time, i just thought "hmm, something is different" Then i happened to go on another server and dl the old map, then it hit me how dark and gloomy the old one was.
-
Lighting is terrible for 2 reasons.
1) Middle doesn't have blinking lights for no apparent reason going really fast.
2) Bases aren't lit to their color. When I see a blue base it needs to be all blue toned.
-
I really like it, idc what other ppl think. I think that the relighting of the map made it so much better than before, and that was kinda hard to beat. The one problem is coming fromone base to the other (i think it is red-blue) you get blinded by the sun, it is literally RIGHT in your face.
