Blurb Storage Complex - Crouch Tunnel for 0.94 with default AC music

Detailed description

UPDATE: If you add the map config in the map folder correctly (or extract) the default AC music should run in loop. Enjoy :)

UPDATE: Fixed some mistakes, such as the 1/4 box which looks weird (thanks to players online for spotting it). The side panels in the underground tunnel have extra height which allows you to crouch and go on it - this is probably the last update, enjoy my map :(

UPDATE: Added Fog, and lightscale and recalc has been tested. Should be a bit, and I mean only a bit, but better now :)

UPDATE: Fixed Lighting, prefix of the sun as 45 degree from CLA base.. lighting is set according to that, and shadows are also present now

UPDATE: Tweaked a tiny bit of the map - Conveyor Belt Section

UPDATE: Fixed the zip folder problem, should work finely now. Also edited the map outside, so you won't have empty spaces when you go into edit mode and press F5.

One thing before describing it, the path in the RVSF base that you cannot walk through because you hit the ceiling, is for the 0.94 release with the crouch ability. When you can crouch, you can crouch and walk through the conveyor belt. So please do not give me a low rating on that matter, I am fully aware that you cannot use the path in 0.93. I can't wait for 0.94 though :) (You could play it on CVS)

I am thinking that I should suggest this map to be put into the list of maps in 0.94, mainly because I worked hard on it and pride myself about it. The crouch tunnel seems like an good idea to me, so I would keep it there. PLEASE give me suggestions, to improve this map.

Awesome map, if I say so myself.. :)
Suggestions are MOST welcome, and please enjoy this map.. Play it online with about 20 people
You might want to use the experimental server

The first stage release got me a good rating, with most people online rating it about 8~ out of 10
Then I added another path to RVSF and CLA

The story is, CLA (Terrorists) have captured the safes which contain quite a sum of money, and hostages. RVSF (Government forces) have rescued the hostages with some kills and losses. Now they are ordered to kill all terrorists and retrieve the money. CLA would have to defend the money they took from the safes at all costs and if they have a chance they must seize control of the enemy base.
If anyone has a better story, I would use that one ^^

You should have used those files in their intended place, instead of just attaching them!
Attachments have been made available/possible to allow for letting you have multiple files for one node, like - for example - if you have a map in both night & day lighting ... or a MOD that has a package for Windows, one for linux and another one for Mac OS ... nodes are required to have a regular file attached (link shows up at the top) and a screenshot - else they'd be candidates for deletion! user's guide & packaging guide :)

Hey, this one of the best maps I've seen posted here for AssaultCube!
Of course, I could only really rate it if I'd have played on it .. but I'll just rate it on the optics for now :)

I think you've done some very good work on the geometry in general; good abundance of different paths to choose from!
Also the texturing/themeing of different parts of the map is done very well - including the subtle use of lighting - great job!
Of course I checked it out in CVS and so could crouch my way through the path you mentioned ... maybe I'll post some comment on crouching on the AC forums due to this experience ;-)

Just some small gripes I had with your ZIP (can't stop myself *gg*):
You included a BAK ... not terrible but I got some errors while unpacking and I think it was the BAK that caused them ... mmh, no, it was the stored paths ... weird - nevermind ;)
Then you also included a README.txt in the base path - not that I'm against READMEs, I'm all for them - I'd just suggest you name it less prone to overwriting! README_storage.txt for example.

Oh .. and just to complete it all : there's a door (I think you can't really reach it in-game though) which you can walk through ... there's a geometry error there - impossibly high wall (find it via edittoggle and F5).

sorry about the error. One thing, when I try to put files from my PC and press preview, it doesn't show in the page and I thought I was experiencing a error... so I used the attachment!

I would fix them both up, right away... thanks for the suggestion and review :)

Please enjoy it online.. It is an okay map to play online. I am too precise about details and.. the tunnel or underground storage has a view of the outside featuring a grass area with other buildings.. they were not intended but I did not like the idea of just skymap outside the window. I tend to add visuals, if so quite a lot. If possible, please give me the positives of the map so I can use it for my next release.

One more thing, you can't reach the door in-game, but you can walk through it.. as intended.
In my early version of ac_storage there was a path leading to the walk-through door, as you can see if you go into edit mode. After blocking the path, I didn't want to delete the walk-through door, for people who explore maps can find those and be.. amazed (?) about it. It is incredibly tall, because if it isn't, you cant walk through it! Thanks, :)

The map is really overbright - when you do /fullbright 1 and it actually gets darker ,you know there´s something wrong.

Sharper | 2008-02-07 21:19

Fixed the lighting... except for the tunnels, because they are artifically lighted
makke, one more thing.. have you set your gamma to default? and another thing, when you fullbright, in some parts of the map, yes it does get a tiny bit brighter..but not an overwhelming difference...
It depends on if you were staring at the computer screen quite a while or not before viewing fullbright 1, and some textures react to the fullbright (such as the one when you type /newmap 8 and then type /fullbright 1, the bricks are extremely bright).

I've had times when I start up AC with the sunlight behind me, and it really did make everything look extremely bright :)

But anyhow, I adjusted the lighting, see if you like it now.
