Map: Groundsource [Final r1.0]

Do not let these tasteless people talk you into changing the colorscheme you are using for your map, Taiyo!

[Kaleo]

Color in Taiyo's map = Better than n00b pl0x


@n00b pl0x:
Can I see you making a half assed attempt at making a map? NO!!!1!!one!

[DASPRiD]

Colors are just fine, don't change 'em.

[Morx]

That 2nd picture has too many pipes O_O....................I like it!!!

Bump! Alpha 1 is out. Check first post.

[Fukacz]

Screens seem cool I'll check it in game.

What happened your alien model project  D:

[Taiyo.uk]

It needs a map to infest!

[whitebear]

I gess that makes sence... In some wierd way -.-''

[TRaK]

-Your falling water/liquid is missing a texture
-missing tex on the base of the railing next to the three pipes that go up towards human base.

Excellent work. Performance is within acceptable levels, it looks very very nice, and it looks like it should play well.

[Taiyo.uk]

Oops, I think I messed up the shader and particle scripts - It still refers to stuff from the gloom2beta2 map.

Anyway, it's fixed.

nice map, interesting idea, water and machines and pipes look cool. seems well made. i like it.

-water could have fog for more cover?

-alien base has only one entrance, thats not good imo

-a bit small for my liking, there arent that many places for potential bases.

-performance is bad here:



maybe try some hint brushes, not just for corners, also maybe try reducing number of textures used in one place.

[Lava Croft]

Taiyo, apart from the fac that my 700mhz runs your map at 10 fps (even less that Sokolov, good job!:), I'm very, very impressed. Great job, you are an example for the rest.

[Badger]

Taiyo... 0.0

Have you ever made a map before? If you haven't I'll murder you .
*sighs* I find that so hard...

btw, good show, rather blooming spiffing map old chap, top hole!

[whitebear]

Taiyo.uk... Lie to badger beacouse far I know him, he is going to kill you. -.-''

When a human is drowning, I get a message that it cant find some sound->using default instead.

[Survivor]

Your fps counter has me a little worried, but we'll see.

I have integrated intel graphics. I hope this is the FPS bottleneck.

I have a gf 7600 gs. Still drops low. Hint it up and reduce the portal count if you can but i fear this will interfere with the radar. Also try to make more shortcuts like the one where the pipe crosses the grate. They add to the tactics available.

Also I like the maps feel. While i'm not a fan of truly colourful maps at least these aren't overbright and i can live with them. Polish it up and I will enjoy playing it.

[Thorn]

Averaging 100 to 145 fps. amazing map! Will upload to funzone in a few mins

[Pete2]

Very cool map, seems to be fun. Can't wait to play it for real =D. Love the underwater stuff, isn't this like the first Trem map where you can dive?
Though, it's a pity that you can't open that big door close next to the human base.. :/ Will you be able to in a later version?

Hey, I somehow made the elevator get stuck downstairs. I played around with the switches, first I pressed the button inside the elevator, then I jumped out and pressed the other one, and I could do that a million times. Then the elevator got stuck xD

But anyway, a great map. Just like I like it.

I'm trying to figure out what youre good at, and its really giving me a hard time.

You cant flame, you cant play trem, you dont even know what the words grammar and coherent mean.

when i was in your clan, you never said you had anything to do like sports, so what ARE you good at?

sitting at your computer ceaselessly stealing your flames from evlesoa and thinking you can get the better of me by it?

dont get me wrong, i dont want you to stop. i just find it very humerous that youve taken a personal vendetta against me on an english speaking forum, when you dont even act like english is your first language.

I can extend the map if that's what the majority want. There's also deep water on Pulse by Soubok. I'll see if I can reproduce the elevator bug. I guess you might have made it trigger just once causing it to wait for 9999 seconds.

Hint it up and reduce the portal count if you can

Yup, I'm reading up on hit brushes/optimisation right now...

]When a human is drowning, I get a message that it cant find some sound->using default instead.

Odd... Does this happen in all deep water maps or just this one? The drowning sound is included in the trem common pk3.

-water could have fog for more cover?

-a bit small for my liking, there arent that many places for potential bases.

-performance is bad here:

I can add fog if all the pipework and darkness down there proves inadequate, but I don't want to make another map that creates three hour long "catch the last dretch" parties. I'm hoping that with the current setup a good alien player can hide a dretch behind all the obstacles, and a good human player can mass drive the last dretch as soon as it shows itself. We'll see how the one entrance alien base fares in the test games, and I've seen tons of different and sometimes just plain insane bases there - the only nobuild areas are behind the four grates in the water channels. Human base built among the lower supporting members of the intake pipes was one of my favorites.

my 700mhz runs your map at 10 fps

I'll aim for 5 next time

Thanks for all the feedback so far. I hope I don't need to do too much for alpha2

I found another issue with the elevator, you can get stuck below it. You can't get out if not someone comes and push the button for you.

How would you know how I play?

I am the leader of a respected clan and you? You don't even have a tast in music. *cough*britneyspears*cough*

The left hand track is a ladder.

[DASPRiD]

Ok, the map is available and in rotation on DASPRiD's Custom and DASPRiD's Funzone, with HTTP-DL.

That was meant a compliment for your ability to make use of Quake3's potential for shoving around large masses of triangles.
I would have been very sad if your map ran on my box at 60fps, since that would mean you were slacking off on the details, something that certainly cannot be said about your current map
Keep up the good work.

I mean, in the little space below.
If you jump in when the elevator is not there, and the elevator comes, you get stuck.
At least as dragoon. Haven't tried with other races and humans...
