BETA 2 ------> HERE <------ (Spawn points fixed, walls fixed, still no flags, still no mid)
BETA 3 ------> HERE <------ (Fixed roof right, added flags)
BETA 4 ------> File Missing <------ (Mid complete, not vised yet, map has been changed around, hopefully will be named)
BETA 5 ------> HERE <------ (Finally vised, stands holding walkways up changed)
BETA 6 ------> HERE <------ (Mid roof made higher, ladders not touching ground, another back door path added)
BETA 7 ------> HERE <------ (Fixed 'Forest' in name to 'Valley'. Whole sky made higher. Added in extra jumps)
BETA 8 ------> HERE <------ (Added extra paths to flag)
BETA 9 ------> HERE <------ (Ledges changed, bd edges changed, textures changed)
BETA 10 ------> HERE <------ (Mid now has metal trimmings on most things, 'ugly ramps' finally replaced, redone the huts/houses and placed autocockers inside)
BETA 11 ------> Coming Soon <------ (Sky change, fog)

o crap, this is the wrong version, in the other version (updated) its on the other computer. I'll update the screenies later. Yes, that one has sky.

Light your map!

Well, from the screen shots, I cannot really tell how good the map will be.

My suggestion: IF it has a sky, maybe replace the bricking with a rock/terrain wall and grass so that it looks better and more realistic.

Also, as you work on this, release the beta, just so people can give you a real opinion of the map.

Yeh, ok, only just woke up and was completely bored so decided to come onto the forums. I'll add a rock texture and make sure that the roof is a sky.

lol, gamma that high is pretty much useless unless you want to see in dark areas... hmm... >.>

Cameron · « **Reply #10 on:** March 21, 2008, 02:15:38 AM »

nah, loial told me to turn it up cos of the brightness of the screen in my room. Its a really crappy monitor and i can't see anything in maps that are mostly dark.

There's an option to disable gamma/lightness for screenshots solely, I believe. Well I know there is one, just not its scope.

Guide for Releasing New Maps

a) Holy gamma!
b) could you please post a topdown-screenshot of the map's layout? It's hard to judge on the map without seeing the routes, and I don't want to install bsp editor just for that

c) looks empty, but as this is still WiP, I'm sure you'll change that

Yeh, mum is kinda being strict over easter so ima try get some sshots with lower gamma and get an overhead shot. Plus yes, its empty but will be filled up, they are not nessescerily the walls, i might change them along with the floor.

EDIT: Actually I doubt i'll be able to get onto teh computer cos I can't even boot Task Manager, Windows Explorer, basically anything. Dunno wtf is wrong, but it works on every other account. I think ima create myself a new one.
