[WIP] PL_Great_Heights
- Thread starter toutfou
- Start date
Hah
All three of these would be perfect if each individual round was able to be named!Nice! I'll add this to the list o possibles
Very cool
I think these are a bit too close to great heights in a way, maybe something like Fort Apex or Apex Fortress?

Was it 300 or 250? :blushing:
European + 2 mbit line with 4 people on it = Epic win
And on the names:
I like pl_praealtus, sounds like a quality map
I think you should add that one to the possibility list. Pl_acropolis is a nice name too...

Well I'll be in Europe by the end of the month so maybe you can join future playtests of whatever my next project ends up being
Praealtus is quite nice - I might add it to the list but can anyone be certain that it does mean Very High? My google's only telling me 'Very Tall'.
Oh and Youme: Thanks for your coloured dev textures - I used them somewhat extensively to begin with

I only checked latin -> german and all sources I found said it means "sehr hoch" which is "very high" in english ;-)
But you're right maybe you should ask a latin teacher or sth to be sure!

Another name could be something along the lines of giving it a fictional place name... for instance, pl_eaglepeak. Also I randomly came up with the name pl_snowblind, although it's not quite THAT snowy!
Actually, I'm not gonna lie, I test out one of the older alpha versions that your steam page linked to and I've gotta say that this map looks FANTASTIC! I can't wait to see the final version.

Thought I'd let you know that this one made my blog (see my sig). The map is looking great, I love the idea of blasting people off cliffs (like the sniper in the screenshot) and I'm a sucker for payload maps.
pl_ascent?
pl_uphill?
pl_everest?
pl_hall_of_the_mountain_king?
pl_uphill?
pl_everest?
pl_hall_of_the_mountain_king?
Cheers
Nice looking blog!Interesting! Fictional maybe something to take into consideration too. And sneaky
I've removed the links now muhaha.

Hey toutfou!
Just wanted to say the fully textured version looks great. Having been a part of many playtests, I'd actually envisioned more of a tech/snowy map, but the grassy great heights looks great.
Don't know about a new name. It's hard to think of it as anything other than great heights now...
pl_<insertsacredmountainhere> works, but something simple such as greatheights will always work. Besides, if you get into mythology you run the risk of making it nerdy! dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnn~
If you want to make it nerdy though, take your pick: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sacred_mountains

I agree 100% with this statement. A simple map name like pl_greatheights (remove the underscore/caps) will be just as memorable as something like pl_mountathena :mellow:. As long as the name isn't overly complex (pl_cartandmountainpass) or boring (pl_mountain) people will remember it.
True, but if I remove the _'s then when the map loads, it becomes GREATHEIGHTS, so I'd prefer to leave it in for that reason
Public beta should be out Sunday or Monday night Aussie time, so Sunday/Monday morning for the states! It'll be released as b2, testing on b1 this weekend revealed a few minor things that should be fixed before the public release I won't be able to work on the level for a month or so afterwards so I really need to make it as solid as possible!

Started looking into this as I'm ready to compile my final beta release, I thought the staticproppolys was something that could be marked for specific meshes only (setup in the .rad file), but looks like it's global? Thus going to take an arse load amount of time to compile :x Can it be limited to specific meshes some how?
No, it will work out proper lighting for every static prop in your map. the lights.rad file determines which props will have their alpha texture's worked out properly and that one is the one that takes the most ammount of time, the staticproppolys one probably only adds an extra few minutes on to your compile whilst the texture lighting might double it (depending on your machine)
I'd personally say don't ever compromise on a release compile - do it overnight and then you have 10 or so hours in which you're not bothered by the length of the compile.
