I have been working on and off this map for the past year or so.

This map is amazing for builders, lots of potential bases.

I have a couple of annoyances with it though.
A: The human elevator is a little odd, took me awhile to get it to ground level.
B: Lag, now i understand this lacks optimization, but my average FPS is 16-32.

But besides that, great map, my favorite area is the outdoors :>.


Also i you got a couple missing textures.

[Knowitall66]

Thank you X-20, I'll fix texture issue and upload asap. By the way elevator starts on, so just wait. As for FPS, I've got an 8800GTS so I dont notice anything , though will fix next release.

Ack, you crazy person, thats one mother of a video card! I'll test it on my crap 733Mhz PC and see how well your map can perform on a very low-end computer. Be back shortly.

Looks good, but you may have went overboard with the coloured lights and brightly coloured wires here and there. Unfortunately I predict that this map will be human biased because of the readily accessable vents from the default human base and the abundance of low-ceiling corridors. There are a number of secluded areas with just one narrow entrance/exit that can be disastrous to gameplay if either team chooses to build there (eg. fountain pipe and the high up place with the locked door).

Looking at the PK3, I noticed that the file size was relatively large which may deter certain servers from hosting it (players have a large download from a single host). In textures/Roomy/ there is a Thumbs.db file; and in textures/Metals there is a desktop.ini file.

I see you put alot of effort into the fine details of the map. Good work.
These doors can be 'blocked' provided a dretch moves quickly into the slots.

Overlapping textures and minor visible void (just outside alien default base).

If I touch this door as a spectator I become stuck on the other side.

Misaligned textures.

This may or may not be an error. Basically there's a shadow of the building cast by some invisible coloured light source that doesn't match the star's angle nor colour.

Multiple accounts of minor visible void.

The skybox can be wall-walked and built on.

I believe the following sounds aren't playing properly in-game because they have two channels (stereo, which Tremulous doesn't seem to like playing properly).
waterfall1.wav
corridor_water.wav
accessdeniedmale.wav

I also found Genorator_Drone.wav and corridor_water.wav (strange screeching sound) headache inducing in-game. Hopefully converting it to mono will solve the problem.

Thanks, I'll do more work on it in a day or two. (It being Christams day and all)

[N.U.K.E.]

yay dutch! Makes the name Regenachtig Woestijn sound really weird though...

[Knowitall66]

Hope this isn't against the rules.
