Don't release your first maps, keep practising, you need to vis and light all your maps, fix leaks and bugs, test the gameplay, learn mapping techniques (tri souping, gensurf etc...), make some good gameplay, then release your map. Test it with your friends eventually. About this map, well, light and vis it, and wow, looks like you've put a 2nd flag just for the sake of putting one. The map is really small, so 1 flag is enough (mid white flag, or one per team). The low way is pointless, the higher one is 4x times faster, you could get capped twice or thrice. A nd some textures are overlapping each others; why did you put so many holes in the high way ? But keep practising

Attached a demo with some suggestions.

Ops. Forget to say that u should make the cappoints on low and just the flags on high.

This is my third map...

.... And about the holes, its to slow you down to make the bottom way faster or atleast more easy. Thx scars for every thing else.

O and Harmony, what do I use to run that demo... This is my first time.

EDIT: I tried to add it to the demo folder, but paintball says it cant find even when it displays as one of the demos

Ummm.... weird question, but I'm adding a third floor to the map and wanted to put ice there.... how do I make ice that you can go really fast on.....

??

And should I add a white flag on the bottom floor?

ElimNator · « **Reply #13 on:** June 29, 2011, 10:35:50 AM »

For ice select the brush you want to be icy, press "S" and check in slick.

H1TM4N · « **Reply #14 on:** June 29, 2011, 10:48:28 AM »

Thx for that elimnator

Should I add a white flag in the center of both the bottom floor and the new third floor

H1TM4N · « **Reply #15 on:** June 29, 2011, 10:49:02 AM »

then make the cap areas on the bottom or third

HaRmonY · « **Reply #16 on:** June 29, 2011, 11:13:14 AM »

H1TM4N. insert this demo in your .../pball/demos/ directory and go to paintball and type in console "playdemo flux_beta1_feedback', then the demo should start.

H1TM4N · « **Reply #17 on:** June 29, 2011, 12:03:26 PM »

Thats what I did and still didnt work.... 'Couldn't load:....'
That is what it says to me.

Chef-Killer · « **Reply #18 on:** June 29, 2011, 12:35:56 PM »

As scars already said, you need to vis and light all (beta) maps you release somewhere. Run a final compile (without errors and/or warnings) for the second beta. After that we'll upload the map to our server. I'll also post my feedback then.

For the demo make sure that you put your map to ...\pball\maps\beta\flux_beta1.bsp.

H1TM4N · « **Reply #19 on:** June 29, 2011, 12:42:25 PM »

Ok... O and when you say vis and light the map, what exactly do you want me to do... because I did both to what I know I have to do.
