love the use of nucleus props.

 

[Gooba]

Thanks guys, I realized I didn't like this area at all... so I changed it up a lot. I think it works tons better now. Please ignore the red line in the upper right, and the completely bare white building.

Also, I was debated on whether or not i should show these... there is not much here, except bad lighting and more bad lighting.

Lemma know what you think!

 

[re1wind]

I'm going to say to you what i said to gerbil as well with regard to indoor areas with dark wood: More light please.

The other issue is that that specific area needs to have more neutral and preferably brighter textures to help the transition from brown "wood-ville" to what looks like spytech.

everything else looks fine, just the lighting and texture choice needs some tweaking.

As a player, I hate seeing ladders propped up if I can't climb them, and I hate maps with climbable ladders even more. I suggest you change that.

Disagree. Ladders dont work in TF2, and I get that. For whatever reason, my mind has been trained to ignore them as methods of travel.

But they do make great detail pieces!

 

[Gooba]

I'm gonna have to go with Grim on this one, ladders in tf2 are only used as walkways or detail.
Sorry I don't have more to show, but I'm too busy mapping to compile all the time.
These screens are slightly old because I forgot I had taken them (I've been working like crazy on the map), but any critique is still very useful.

This is the pit under C

This is the best entry I saw here

Be sure to compile a couple days before the deadline. I always find when i work like crazy on a map and then come to compile at the last minute i'll get more than 1 error. Which is a lot more confusing to resolve than 1 at a time. It's also a lot harder to track down an error when you've added/changed so much. Not ot mention that sometimes you'll be forced to erase large portions of your map if something doesn't work, something that could have saved you time had you been aware of it sooner, before you spent X hours unknowingly working on a broken task.

The only excuse for not compiling frequently is working large open spaces that are difficult to seal as you go.

 

[Chemical Alia]

Whao! I love the use of so many cool vertical elements, and the lighting looks great.

 

[Gooba]

Thanks 3Dnj and Chemical, means a lot.

Sorry I didn't it make it very clear, grazr, I'm actually working exactly how you described and I compile quite often, but usually the areas still have a glaring problem or two making them not enjoyable to look at. Therefore any crits or comments are skewed by the giant ugly object drawing everyones attention away from the other stuff. But, worry not! I should have tons of new stuff to show very very soon.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

You win. Hands down. Why do I even try, when you still have new stuff!

 

[Harribo]

I think the work you've done under the point is amazing but I have to ask, how are working in the reason it's a death pit? it looks perfectly safe down there to me.

Yes. Besides the map looking absolutely gorgeous, this is the one problem I have. It looks like you could fall into the "death pit" and lose some health from the drop, but it doesn't look like there's any lethality to it.

 

[tovilovan]

I demand a download!

 

[Gooba]

The download is up now


Thanks zpq

 

[Leminnes]

hey Gooba. You forgot to pack a decal:

Also, there are no supply cabinets and the doors to blue spawn open oddly.

Also, something odd going on here:

I think you meant to have that displacement there lower.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Gooba, I strongly recommend you use the checkup period to figure out how to properly embed your content and drop the filesize...

Please, please find some way to explain the logic behind this?

Terribly sorry for all the mess, I was in such a hurry at the end that I obviously missed quite a few things. Same for the pakrat terribleness, I didn't have time then to make it better( I worked 27 hours straight to get it ready as it was). However, I will fix all said things and hopefully get it submitted. Thanks for the help guys.

FIXXIT because this entry is fucking gorgeous and I'd hate for you to lose because of trivialities like missing Med Cabinets.
