Big thanks goes to Skyviper (old clannie friend)... even tho he can't read this...

And a blammo.. there ya go.

Questions, comments, and critiques are all welcome... unless they're specified in the link in one of my previous posts (the livejournal one), or in the text file inside the zip. In which case, you'll be ignored.

I guess I could add some more ammo in places. Right now, all the ammo in place is only where they were in the original. I'll say one thing tho... I never liked railguns, so railgun ammo isn't going to be appearing anywhere. The initial shots you get from picking up the weapon is good enough.. especially on a map with tight hallways like this one.

Can also texture the deathspike.. thing. Dunno why it isn't in the first place...

The third one is a known problem.. but it's the best I can do to replicate the original map in that regard. Unless there's another way of doing it that I don't know about. Right now it's just a button that triggers a teleport when shot. I probably could think outside the box and throw a normal teleporter down there I guess... but that might look odd..

And since I'm going back and touching up the map some more, I spoze I'll also touch up the area outside the grenade launcher room. Everything I've tried thus far tho didn't work at all.. looked better just plain and open like it is. But.. we'll see.

The texturing right now is done similar to the original map. Everywhere where there's a break in The Texture, is where there was one in the original.

The zerker room is actually my pride and joy room.. that one at the big ending room with the cage (not counting the secret areas or any of the hallways). Granted this isn't going from a texturing and detail perspective... in those rooms, it was all about the lights for me.

I did feel the same way you felt at one time tho, about the repetative texture. Back when I was using a different texture combination... the main texture was an ugly brownish rock thing. In what I can only dub as the 'castle room' it looked just BLAH. I changed the textures to what they are now and the room was spiced up tenfold.. just from doing that alone.

The 'looking at other rooms through the sky' thing is known, and I forgot to mention it in my posts. I've asked ReBoOt for help on this before, and it was deemed unfixable... unless something came up in the past year or so that I don't know about. A minor flaw, but a flaw nonetheless.. but hey, if you're staring at ceilings, you're likely going to get fragged.. instead of doing the fragging.

And no, the size isn't why it took me so long. Let's see... year 1 I worked on all the start areas of the map, up to the first teleport in the lava room. About a week or so, off and on... then I took about a year break. Year 2.. I picked up with getting that teleport working, and made everything (a HUGE majority of the map) up to the hallway near the end with the spike shooters, even got them working! Again, about a week or so off and on.. then the slightly less than a year break. And then lastly.. in the last few days.. I made all the ending rooms.. and looped the end and start portals together. About 2 days, off and on.

Alright im gonna download this and test it! Btw If you want lavaballs in your map i could give you the entity for it if you don't already have it.

And another side note on the "i can see thru the sky to another room" Either you can cover up the other room with some kind of geometry, also i've heard it's possible to break vis by just using one large skybox for those two rooms, however i havent tested this my self so im not sure...

Now there might be a third way by using common/hint brushes..but this is a real pain and don't ask me how to use them..as far as i know you can use them to split  vis.
