...i like to see how your map is developing, and what has changed so far, compared to the empty, untextured "raw-version" you've showed me once ;)

Indeed, lighting isn't very good, so i'll leave out a detailed comment in this case now ;)

To support multiple gamemodes was a very good idea.
I also like how you used particles to mark the locations of the bases, but i can imagine that capturing the base in the center will be a really hard task for the players, maybe you think about another opportunity how ppl can take cover, or was it intended to have that base quite open ?

In 2 corners, there are some ladders, which, when you climb them up, lead to small jumppads, which lead to teleports ? Hehe, why so complicated ? :)

The Hallway with the glass which leads from one corner to the other is quite narrow, what if 2 players are there at the same time ? will they have enough space to move comfortably ? Also, whoever uses this hallway is kinda trapped, it is not possible to shoot from that location.

Some of the places in your map look very neat already, i especially like the green stuff and the small lake with the wooden bench.

Please try to re-think about these gameplay aspects of your map, it is the most important part of all. The lighting can be changed at anytime then...

2/5 so far, keep it up ;)

Hey, a very funny map!
I also like the approach of using particles to enhance base locations - or even pickups, for that matter.
Personally I feel the overall light level is a bit too harsh, there's pratically not a shadow in sight;
you've played quite a bit with colourization ... try different intensities too ... please! :) :)

There are a few places I found pretty tight - one of my favourite complaints :-P ... but there's not much you can do to those hallways "inside" ... and it didn't make the catastrophic impression on me this usually has; movement through those narrow parts wasn't hampered and actually pretty fast. The only place I really would like to see some improvement on is: when I go through a teleport (upper-level, in the corner) and come out above that block-with-ladder-sides ... it could be made easier to get down .. especially since there's an unmarked jumppad on the top-face of that block.
Which brings me to my biggest request: you've worked with different light-fixture textures for some of your jumppads ... could you try to make them more recognizable? By making them all use the same texture, or adding another particle effect to them ... I was completely suprised when I saw those light-fixtures wrapped inside the corners (again: top-level) ... I approached and suddenly went flying away : "Aaah! Another jumppad ... well Ooo-kay ;-)".

Keep going on this map!

When you update it:

• don't name the ZIP: packages.zip - name it hero1.zip
• don't use capital letters for your files - at least they're consistent - but having to remember your map won't be autocompleted when I press TAB after "/map h" .. but only if I enter "/map H" and then TAB .. well, it's a pain ;-)
• only to make the threesome full: your CFG could be updated in CubeScript style: 'base_1 = "name"' is the same as 'alias base_1 "name"' ... and don't use the ECHO there, use the "/mapmsg [my long map message]" before you save it!

Thank you for your comments! :)

Mmh, I have an idea how I could improve lighting a bit... I'll try it in the next version.

Yes, the center was intended to be very hard to capture. ^^

to the hallway... I wanted to make another way from one big block to the other, and thought about that. But I forgot to add some noclip to the triangle-cubes in there, so that you can move straight along there.

It's not very suitable for players, but thats what I wanted - like the upper ways in lostinspace :D

Well, the jumppads... I think that's because I didn't have any experience with gameplay maps since then and never thought about that problem exactly. Thanks for that hint!

The package name... I just forgot to rename it after packing o.O - And I didn't know about that base-names-config-thing before, I just did it like I saw it in the config of map asteroids... But I will consider that points, too.

:)

Reminds me of my map...
