Technically this is a WIP thread for the third iteration (beta, if you will) of downpour, I made the original version of this map a few months back, and 2 weeks or so ago I edited it again to make a beta 2. I wasn't really satisified with the second beta, and therefore, I've decided to completely renovate the old map, and recreate it from scratch.
The old map was very large, played OK, looked horrible for the most part, and had a continuously fluctuating water level. Although I'm keeping the latter aspect, the rest is being totally redone, although the layout will remain similar. The old map looked like this: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/BioTerrorFrog/previewimage.jpg
So far, the only part I've actually lighted is BLU's spawn room, although I can asure you that the rest of the map (that I've done) looks just as detailed:
(I've just noticed, there WERE three bottles on the leftmost bench, they seem to have magically disappeared)
I'm currently finishing off the outside portion of the BLU base, and then I'm going to do the inside. One thing I've noticed, is that it's really hard to detail empty areas, and you tend to put stuff on the walls rather than in the middle. Or maybe that's just me.
