I'm sending you a PM.  I haven't had a chance to run through it and point out all the stuff that needs to be fixed, but I see several wood textures that need to be rotated and some crate textures that need to be scaled by -1 so the logo faces the correct way.

By the way, you set your map's gamemode key wrong. You are supposed to add together the numbers. 4 + 1 = 5

When I loaded it up on the beta server, some people were playing.  I just left the chasecam on and recorded while I did some other stuff.  Sometimes it's useful to see how other people play the map so that you can work on improving different areas.

Aside from the high as WarWulf r_speeds, the map looks good.  For beta 4, make your barrels only 8 sided vs. how ever many they are.  This will help the r_speeds drop a little but I have not the faintest idea how to bring them down another 3000.  The are 5500+ in some places and this will kill so people's computer.  I do like the center area where there is an underwater tunnel though.  Reminds me of Tomb Raider.

I was succesful dropping r_speeds using hints... the highest wpoly was now at about 4500...
Will it really kill the computer with those r_speeds??? I already played it on the beta server and nobody
complained about lagging or something... So do i really need to change it so hard?

And what is the difference between "final compile" and "final compile (high quality)" ???
Can i drop r_speeds using th high quality compile?

Just do final compile.  The high quality compiler messes with the archrad I believe.

High quality shoves a load of extra options into arghrad, meaning a much longer compile time, if it even compiles, because it usually results in a max_patches error.

I did my really best fixing the r_speeds...
The result is beta 4!!! It is including better texture alignments and a more different flag-capture for the blue team,
because at the beginning it was realy not difficoult enough in comparison to the red flagcapture-task...

Here the download link:

I've put beta4 up on the server and made a little demo pointing out some things you might want to tweak.

New Map: Sirois' Grotto Final!!!

Hi all!

Maybe some of you remember my my last release Sirois' Grotto...

There where different things that needed to be fixed,
well i found some time and fixed it, so it's Beta 5 now...

Screenshots / Download here:
http://maps.digitalpaint.therisenrealm.com/map/sirois_grotto/

I hope it is ready to be played now, id did my best to
fix the r_speeds... I used hint-brushes and so one...
But still they're sometimes 3000+  :-\ But on LAN-Parties
and even in the Net it made no difference to the performance...

I hope that you will have fun with Beta 5 and that it will be the last one, so that i can start my new project:
Sirois' Bunker ;-)

U should make the same barrels on each side. Especially the bases:











And some bugs:
