The "Urban" text completely killed the mood for me, though. Looks so cheesy and out of place.

Yeah, i thought about making like ad-board there, you know, like in ub_rooftop. But i got lazy and made that instead:P I'll get around with it at somepoint

All the wood seems out of place. Some kind of tar and/or gravel would look a lot better. Also, the wood shingle texture looks out of place, too (and some of them are upside-down). The brick texture is also too large.

Wood looks nice to my eye, but i'll try to change, i knew you would complain about it

And i'll keep the shingle, i love it

The windows that you jump through that have the window frame in the middle need some clip brushes. They're awkward to get through. You have to crouch or jump, and it's easy to get caught on the sides.

I left that intentionally, i don't know why. Maybe i come lazy when it comes to clips

Beta 3 is done and ready for download! I added some stuff, not much :/

@jitspoe: I didn't really find any good texture to replace the wood, so any ideas? And do you realise how hard it's to see if the shingle is upside down or not in bsp?

Played it on the beta server. People were easily lost. It's very difficult to get your bearings. You've GOT to do something about making the map more maneuverable. There are so many places that need clip brushes. It just feels really awkward and cumbersome, especially since there are ramp jumps and such, but not enough room to gain momentum. I've attached a demo of me playing. It's not very exciting, but it might give you some ideas on things you can improve. It seemed like there was only one path that was really worth taking in and out of the base.

I didn't check, but does this map support DM? It might make a good DM/TDM map.

Also, now that I have a high res white wood texture with a more defined wood grain, some of the window wood textures look like they need to be rotated (the texture looks good there, though). As for what to replace the wood with, I would use either a cement texture (like one of the grave textures), tar, asphalt, or gravel. Here are some images for inspiration:

I whipped up a quick asphalt texture, if you want to experiment with that. HR4 version attached.

Ok, thanks. I'll try it. I think there is one asphalt texture in ctp, but it is darker?

Also, how would i go about making graffities like in ub_rooftop?

Well, you would make your graffiti image with a transparent background, and just stick it onto the asphalt image, making it a seperate asphalt texture that you can use along with the default asphalt image.

Can't you use r-scripts or some crap.

musickid999 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 11, 2009, 08:25:00 PM »

You probably could, but I know nothing about scripting, so I have no clue.

this map looks like it would be fun to be trying to jump and strafe at a fast speed.

One way is to just make a texture with graffiti on it. The other way is to make a texture with alpha transparency (PNG or TGA), make a 1-unit thick brush, and set the trans33 and trans66 flag.

I've been placing clip brushes, fixing paths, changing textures, basic stuff what's been pointed out.. I think i'm going to make the bd/side path bit more faster, at the moment they're 2-7 seconds slower than the main path when going from flag to flag. They're also more clumsy, so it's easier to lose time.
I'll attach an image for you criticize the textures. I went with the ctp asphalt. I liked jitspoe's texture, but the pattern looked bad for me in game.
Finally, if someone is interested and willing to help, could someone make few graffities for me? I think they need to be .tga textures with transparent background. Then i need to make 1 unit thick brush of it and so on? It was done like that in ub_rooftop ( i took a look, sorry

)

Edit: Added pics with jitspoe's texture also
