I was more trying to give off the doom feeling of having colored lights but no colored light, plus blue lighting makes it look like a technocolored freak show :S

As for the egyptian theme, that was me, thinking different, since the original was wood, i needed something that looked relatively... brown, so i thought i'd try Sock's Egyptian Texture pack. I personally think it fits.

Where do I download this Ohama Beach map? And shouldn't it be Omaha? or is my history forgotten?

Nice Map dev, looks really good.

Im working on Barrels O' Fun (D2M23) and The Crusher (D2M06)
Pretty much finished d2m23, and i have a long way to go on crusher.

Idea: How about a map thats like ut_rommel for earth themed? it just kicks ass...
BTW, i didnt say EXACTLY like Rommel, just like it.
Old War-torn cities = 0wn4g3

[edit] Dev: get RtCW and play the Omaha Beach Objective map, its v. kewl
Omaha would make for a great Earth map
Also, maybe something like the first map in MoH:AA

You're probably thinking of Beach Invasion Devlar... It seems to be the only map everyone knows (including me, hehe). Although that could make an interest basis for an earth map

Looking good Devlar the egyptian texture makes the lvl clean and nice.

Welll my own maps is going quite slowley for the momment, tho im almost finnished req1e1m5 might release it some time this month, e3m1 still have lot's of work todo.

Devlar, Beach Assault map is good for CTF...

I liked assault from rtcw more for ctf

also  half life :oposing force CTF had some very nice maps .
(one was 2 bases set in a grand canyon setting )

anyway if pho is gonna code TA entities in it its maybe better that you make the map also playable for TA with 1 flag tf and harvester .
(hmmmm generations harvester )

"you dont have to copy it exactly dev... just improvise on it

eg. if blues flag were in the fortress and reds were out on the shoreline, make the reds harder to get
i dont know how you would do this, everyone has their own ideas... just mess about with it"

Daed: I agree! Make the blue flag in the fortress harder to get... and has traps. But, however, the red flag will be in a big ship (add a ship model), and also some small Higgins boats (is it higgins boat?) beside the ship, as the player's spawnpoint... and is also harder to get. Remember to put traps on both sides.

I can give you more ideas if you want.

Yeah botcode was rather stupid as far as water is concerned?

Is this the same gloom keep I saw when I finnished my first map approximately 10 months ago?

Something of interest to people who try to make creative conversions. Although I will attest to the fact that posting a remake or even something inspired by a map on the Quake3World forum requires a flame retardant flak jacket and a really thick helmet. Critism is bad especially when its based on the idea that all things have to be "original". Phhh So much for using this as a tool to learn to map better.

"First things , it is just a shame that the author is claiming this is some DM4 inspired/remake because the map has loads of cool architecture and does not need to be labelled a remake. " - Sock (who coincidencially created the fine egyptian theme i'm using for my Sever the Wicked Map, and also happens to be one of the reasons i started mapping in the first place, the guy has amazing skills)

Yeah I know the feeling, University is a serious time killer. Its a damned good thing that I at least like going

EDIT - New pictures up

Dev: Hoooh! Nice! Although it's Egypt-themed, but it's still nice... perhaps you could add some Wirehead words and logos as the banners in the map? So that it'll look more like battling in Generations Arena...
