New Map: Dome
« on: February 25, 2007, 07:03:13 AM »
This small dm-map i build, because i was frustrated, that the compiles of anubis didn't work ;D Some days i needed a change :o

Here is the link for the beta1:

Are you using the latest BSP pack?  The reflected light looks way too bright.  Grab the latest here: http://dplogin.com/files/mapmaking/bsp_pb2_build016c.zip

My suggestions:
- Make the lights flush with the wall.  This will save on polygons and look a little cleaner.
- End the lights at the last full light, so you don't have lights sliced in half.  That kind of kills the believability of them.
- Tone the light brightness down so the map doesn't look like it's glowing (this might be caused by the old bsp pack, too, so make sure you compile with all the latest stuff).
- Use lower-end weapons so it's not just a big spray fest.

I'll go ahead and put it on the beta server for testing.  See PM for details.

Edit: One last thing, move the wall texture so the trim goes along the top and bottom.

didnt you see it from the demo? Look where I shot. If you cant see it, it must be my problem. I saw that 1 brush with those light textures went "missing" as I was far away from it, when I went closer it "came back". Nothing big though.

I got a weird error with blaa's demo so it didn't work.
Chef it's cool, there's just not a lot of cover or sweet jumps.  Is it possible to make the center thing rotate faster? cheers, y00tz

Edit: The error is something like MSGLEN > MAX_MSGLEN, how did the message length get to big?

Yeah, it is easy to change, just a value ;)

But why? Would it be better if it is faster?

Garret I can tell you're new to the forums but try not to revive old topics.

I'm not a nooby to the whole forum concept.  I didn't look at the date and figured the topic was still open to discussion since the map is still on the Beta server.  My bad, sir.

Old map - new beta ;)

Map (dome_b2.bsp)
Mapinfo (dome_b2.txt)

I am working again on this little DM map to finish it now.

For this beta I added some new stuff, changed guns, added spawnpoints, added gamemode koth and fixed known bugs and issues and made a few other things.
