Well, since school has resumed for the week... there will be no updates to the map.  You continue w/ ideas.

Also, the map has been retextured using the "Clockwork Droid" texture set.  Looks much better.  I'll have pics up later.

will have to look into that...

actually, I shouldn't... unless it affects the pk3 w/ clockwork droid textures also.

In fact, here  is the map w/ newer textures.  The map does NOT have bots enabled, etc.  Also, I already know of several errors (but feel free to tell me any you find).

dna was going to ask this but I'd like to know too, how did you change the textures so fast? is there a replace texture option in Radiant?

How?

OK, I've got a new more "presentable" release that I made a while ago that I can post on here.  So, expect something "soon".

Llurk out.

Here is the link to the latest version I have.

Pretty much all that is left to do is to do any weapon placement adjustments that are needed and to do something about the crates since they do not crush.

Check it out. (bots work, etc)

Cool Pho, that just about completes the authentic feel of the map :]

My observations:

IIRC the lighting in the area with the rail gun spawn was blue in Q2. Of course, you don't have to follow the visuals of the level to a T, but the blue lighting would add some nice variety to the map, which right now suffers from all looking pretty much the same.

Perhaps the fact that no one else seems to have mentioned it yet means I'm the lone objector here, but I'm not into the second RL spawn you put where the MG used to be. A couple bullet boxes would be more appropriate IMO, especially since the bullet boxes on the floor below were turned to lightning ammo. Keep the lightning ammo wherer it is though, cause it will still feed the chaingun for Strogg class and other classes will need ammo for their LG or whatever other weapon they get for chaingun pickup. At any rate, going from an MG to RL is a big jump, and excessive IMHO.

I think that's it. Besides that everything's pretty much perfect. The structure is spot on, and the weapon/item distrobution is all exactly right except for the RL/MG thing I mentioned. The textures are all just right, except for the fact that the lighting exposes their repetition. If you make a couple areas a little darker and put in the blue lights that were in parts of the original, I think it will break up the monotony nicely.

Anyway, great job, I'm looking forward to playing the final release.

I'd really like to see this finished before 99e comes out.

Please?

Bump!

Here's to hoping Llurk finished this great map!
