Still looking forward to the complete version of the map.

xD sorry, will be coming soon enough. But I got alot of school work at the time. The only thing remaining is weapons placement, bot pathing and fine tuning.

Hey no worries school comes first always. I can wait np.

Love it

Weapons and pickup placement complete! I can now work on bot pathing and then when that's done, Ill fine tune it a bit, throw a Beta on here and then it's ready for testing.

Also, can someone please think of a better name than CTF-B-AncientConcrete or HighUpDesert?
I'm outta ideas...

How about AncientSteel

More concrete than steel in it

I already made DM-B-Ancient, and CTF-B-AncientConcrete or somthinglike that isn't too original then...
How about CTF-B-Concrete&Clouds? ^^

Concrete&Clouds sounds gay.

How about Ascended Complex?

Or Vertigo

Mayhaps even Forgotten Legacy?

O.o Awesome names Much better than mine

Cool Place!!

How about (MetalSands)

Or (Burning Metal)

CorrodedConcrete. XD

Lolicious

Err...

How to make bots use the wind stream? I dunno how to make them see and use the soft landing when going down and the wind stream when going up.

I'll try normal pathnodes and Jumpspots first, but if that doesn't work, I dunno...


PS: 2337 Brushes!!!
Gotta down on that number... and I know how. The arches are completely out of brushes, I can shorten the amount there.

Hmmm names

Concrete Acension

Aggregate Agravation

Sandblast Towers

Dessication Station.

Hot Grit

Timeless sands

Between Sand and Sky

Brown Fluffy Kitty

OKAY Optimizing this map is near IMPOSSIBLE and im really bad with optimizing maps (except for zones).

I've figured a way to zone it which works really, really well, but then it gets a very annoying sunlight bug. So no zoning.
Antiportals, I've placed them around. Its that I really suck in placing antiportals or it is that they wont work in my map.

I've lowered the number of brushes but I really cant find any other way to make you not see the other side.
There is also the annoying light bug I've encountered alot troughout my mapping. And strangely nobody I know ever seen such thing. And i dont know how to get rid of this.

For anyone who wants to try out the more laggy but finished version, here it is:

(Bot Pathing not build yet, but is placed down in the editor.)


Really, I need help with this stupid lag.

Got it. Thanks for sticking with it.

I didn't notice this earlier... Damn.

Is there any ay you could zip it or something? 20+ MB is kinda big for this internet connection...

little problem, it is already zipped... I really, really got to lower the file size. Angelmapper got some ways with lightmaps, ill look up to that.

It is? I thought it was uncompressed. The link you supplied is a download for an uncompressed one.

actually im not completely sure it is zipped I think it is, normally I always zip downloads.

But anyways, where is a very very usefull level optimizing tutorial?

Hmmmmm? Where? Really I need one...

Try this: http://angelmapper.com/tutorials.htm A buncha Angel Mapper tutorials!

But I'll get the map and help optimize it as best as I can, from the example I have of DM-SavoIsland.

EDIT: Oh, and it IS uncompressed, just the UT2 file! XD

oh k...

Im making progress, and Optimizing looks pretty good, still heavy map.

Updated version up shortly... just need to tweek a few bits and pieces. I've sended an email to Blitz, who made a fantastic bot pathing tutorial, how to make bots use the wind streams/lifts.

can't wait!
