Sedna Monitoring station

Quote from: "Wikipedia"

90377 Sedna is a trans-Neptunian object, discovered by Michael Brown (Caltech), Chad Trujillo (Gemini Observatory) and David Rabinowitz (Yale University) on November 14, 2003. At the time of its discovery it was the most distant observed natural solar system body. Sedna may qualify as a dwarf planet pending the detailed definition of that category by the International Astronomical Union.

Artistic vision of Sedna:

My questions to you:
1. Isnt map too bright?
5. What do you think about light?
2. Is map lagy?
3. What do you think about a default bases?
4. Is game balanced?
6. What would you change in next version?
(say which beta you comment)

Thx for help

P.s. 1: I didnt play by week, as I finished map ;P
P.s. 2: Map is on bricosoft server. You can play “Sedna” there.

Isnt map too bright?

Maybe the middle is a bit too bright but the rest is good.

Quote

What do you think about a default bases?

The default base are too weak but its goodbecause it force team to move.

Quote

Is game balanced?

Absolutly not, human get advantage because of
- their anti-tyrant spot
- there is no aviable spot for alien
I can't explain why alien win 2 time this morning but the map isn't balanced.

Quote

What would you change in next version?

More spot is key for a better map.
Actually you should improve theses spots (enlarge them):

PS : Did you correct the tyrant bug?
PPS : You should remove this map leak :

Good work there Shuriken, map is looking quite nice, although, as you pointed out yourself, it's a bit overly bright here and there. Looking forward to the finished product!

You think about beta1 or beta2. You said this morning that beta1 is too dark, and in beta2 I made more light. :roll: Change it as it was in beta1?

I put one box in each base. And now OM is protected from range fire.

Sedna is availably on "Bricosoft -=Classic=-" server. You can play there. Just put in console: "/callvote map sedna-beta2". Return next here and write something critical, plz.

Might I add that your map looks a bit bland with all the grey textures around? Its like someone exploded a paintbomb with grey goo in it, it really degrades your map in my opinion. Try to add some 'colour' to it, it will do your map good.

Roger. I will think about it.

Sedna-beta3

I think map is playable now. It's still need optimization (there are 12000 polygons in some places), and better light (for me, it is the hardest part of mapping).

Please add some colour to your map. Please.

Maybe you shouldn't call it a vent, its more like a crawl-way or access tunnel/

It's Vent for tyrants

I added few new metal materials, but bad light does not allow to see it completely. I still work on it, and also experiment with new textures (nexus6), but it need time. I'll publish screens with sample and you will evaluate it. :wink: In beta3 I wanted to complete construction new spots.

Vent; Noun
1. An opening through which gases, especially air, can pass.
2. The opening of a volcano from which lava flows.

Good work so far, keep it up!
I have just added it to tremulous.info, it will be up on Derelict as well, soon.

8 areaportals

Try to avoid these and use hint brushes instead. Areaportals completely block alien and human radar while closed!

Thx.
I have removed it in beta3 already.
I think aliens are still too weak. I'll build better hidden base for them in beta4.

Maybe you release less betas, let's say none, and work out one good final version, tested with a few guys, not the entire community.

Yeah I know it is oppressive, but i don't know those few guys who want test it for me. Maybe you? :roll:

DASPRiD · « **Reply #18 on:** November 20, 2006, 10:24:56 pm »

There are always interested guys out. E.g, Ingar, DarkWolf, Greudin, etc. Just join the #tremulous channel and ask, but after the first test, try to keep the same guys for the next tests.

Menace13 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 23, 2006, 12:58:58 am »

Shuriken · « **Reply #21 on:** November 23, 2006, 02:15:09 am »
