There's no doubt many tremulous players have played this map, and have grown to like it. So i decided to make it sexier looking.

--map-mcct2.pk2 is the latest version--  [coming soon]
--map-mcc.pk3 is the latest STABLE version (before all the fancy changes)--

==Downloads==
map-mcc.pk3
map-mcct2.pk3 (coming very soon)

I'm having trouble releasing this map. I'm not sure why exactly. All teh textures and files are where they should be. But when the mcct2.pk3 is ran in a 'clean install' of trem. It loads only like half of the textures. But when the .pk3 is placed in my normal install of trem it loads fine. (all my map editing tools are in my main trem folder) So untill i can figure this out, i can't release it.

also I've been making this map, based off of a decompile of my old MCC since i lost all my old data (ie: the mcc.map)


Screenshots can be found here

This is definitely a huge improvement over your previous effort. A few notes :

- Brushwork is fairly good, aside from a few areas that are kind of sparse.
- Layout is a bit too similar to atcs.
- Looks pretty decent.
- The side halls are too bare and empty. Add some stuff, and some location markers to know which base you're going towards.
- My fps goes from 100+ to 25 in the water room for some reason.
- The slime room is a bit on the dark side.


Overall, this is a good effort, and I look forward to seeing more from you .

@ the FPS, it's the water, i've gone through a few shaders to figure out which one is the less in reducing FPS. Still can't get it. meebe i'll do away with the water.
@ the markers. Sure i'll add them in the next build XD
@ everything else, will work on it

Found a few things, you can jump behind the big acid container and is very hard to get out. I can't exit one side but I can the other.

I love the way you redid it from Beta 2, I really wish we could still use the top of the middle are though to play on without using jet pack.

Maybe some obstacles in the middle to help dretches from being sniped?

I dont think it has much of an ATCS look to it, I mean the hallways are way better, and has mulitple levels. Top, Medium, Basement.

Cant wait for Beta 4 and or Final

[Mexel]

Well i have now completed the final version. Now hope to distribute it. So share away!!

Again the download can be found on our site http://www.the-deft.com in hte downloads section.

Look for MCC Final!

[Mexel]

Could someone add this to the MG download site?

http://www.the-deft.com/downloads/map-mccfinal.pk3

thats the direct link. We've added to rotation so we would like it if others can get it as we're directed to MG download site. Thanks, Mexel

Things I've found--

*The alien default base is terrible

*The upstairs area is confusing, similar to Dark. Too much hallway and not enough rooms.

*

You can build inside that thing by the humans base. On the ceiling between the stairs.

* I am a little confused by some of those lights that are just coming out of the ceiling. I suppose you just wanted it to look futuristic but it seems strange.

*I am a little concerned about being able to build on top in the outside area. I haven't tried this in a real game, but it might be an unfair advantage for the humans.

*

These lights aren't solid you can float through them. This probably won't be that big of a deal but just mentioning it.

That's all for now, I'll write again if I find anything else. Just wanted to let you know about these things.

@Upstairs area. I wanted it that way. And it's not confusing.

Aliens base and human base is the same with the exception that alien base has a few boxes.

@The little thinger above the bases in the middle was made to have things built in there. (for fun of course)

The lights arent solid 'cause they're models (md3's).

@the outside area. It's clipped but not that much. So in the event that someone is playin it in devmap, you CAN and most likely will get up there.

Mooseberry, i appreciate your input, and will take into consideration things mentioned with my next map. Also Moose keep in mind that this map "MCC" is my SECOND released map ever made in gtkradiant. IMHO i think i did pretty well for a damn beginner. xD

You misunderstood me, I'm not criticizing you, I think this is a very good map, and Great for a beginner. I was just trying to offer advice to help you improve it. Keep up the good work!

Cheers, Mooseberry.

[Mexel]

you have to get used to comments like mooses lolz, people on this forum like to give constuctive criticism alot

yours is a very good map for just your 2nd attempt (im on my damn 4th and still havent managed to release one) and you have some really nice detailing coming along.

here comes my constructive criticism.

Some part are just bland, like the hallways that have upwards and downward slopes looks really crap compared to the rest of you map, so a bit more detailing would be nice.

the alien base is a little weak, and would be easily destroyed by S3 humans or a competent s2 human team.

apart from that. Great map!

[Caveman]

And we have to live with idiots like amz that can't read the date of a post and thus think that last year's posts are recent.

[amz181]

oops 

most of the posts were recent so i didnt think to look at the top one

*facepalm*

[Plague Bringer]

Don't beat yourself up, amz. Mexel did say that he was remapping, and, thus, your suggestions are valid and Caveman's being a dick. Surprise, surprise!

[Mexel]

lol.

Look at top post.

[Bissig]

Congratz on wasting bandwith by using >3.5 MB huge PNGs instead of compressed JPG for your amazing 1024x768 resolution screenshots. You could have had very nice shots at about 300kb each, but oh no, why do something sensible. The internet is wasted on the computer illiterate.

That fucking forum page takes me (a) minute(-s) to load even at 1.5 MB download speed per sec.

And to even prove further what a noob you are you saved them at 48bit colour depth.

Epic map. Campzor but cool

[Plague Bringer]

Wow, Biss. Who pissed in your oatmeal this morning? I've got roughly 100kb/s, and it's not that painful to wait. Multitasking: It's the way of the future.

[Bissig]

The truth hurts doesn't it.

[Plague Bringer]

o.O

Je ne comprend pas.

I did, and I must add it was quite refreshing.

Also, the shots were taken with fraps.

Think of more intelligent ways to increase forum post count.

[Zero Ame]

i want mcct2, it looks hawt

[Bissig]

They are still annoyingly huge.

[mooseberry]

Than.. don't... look at them.

It's honestly pretty simple.
