Some awesome geometry there, but the textures feel a little overused (everything is very same-colour-ish). I would also suggest changing the lava texture (or maybe even substitute the lava with spikes covered in the death material), as it doesn't fit in very well with the theme.

Yeah, maybe it would even look better the way Quin pointed out. But I personally like it very much exact the way it is. The placement of the bases, the overall look,... everything just "feels good".

Perhaps you can have another look at one or another place, but I see only little space for improvement (except packaging and filesize!). Anyways 5/5.

this map has grown since i saw it last =D. as it is, i think it is a 4-star map, and there are only 2 useful observations i can make:

- i agree with quin's first comment, but to make the palette less muddy you need to fix the lighting, not the texture selection...
- i don't like how the level ends at an invisible wall of clip; if the player is going to run into something put something there! you need to justify your clip walls XD at the moment it's just a lazy way to bound the level

anyways, great map. when i first saw it i had no idea it was going to be this big! i still love the dungeon and hiding in the little canals XD

I agree, I've seen a lot of egypt maps, and I expected to find the map dull and boring. But it was quite the opposite!

5/5 ( :

Thank you for your comments :)
they were helpful to improve the map, i am currently working on another (and hopefully the last) update for my map. (put something in front of the clip wall, use light and dark egypt textures...) It will maybe also include weapons, but im not sure yet, maybe you can give me your opinion?

hi m8 i kno this map very well^^ and i think you should put it as a release candidate the bases are superbly placed and you missed out 3 things( a pyramid, a sphinx and a hotel XDDDDDD) lol so think about it

Redon | 2008-06-01 16:43

i finally updated it :D
i hope you like it, please rate the new version of it^^

Jorge | 2008-06-02 17:46

I liked it before, now it's even better. What can I say more?

Maybe 2 little things:
I especially like the placement of the bases, they're all different, everyone has it's own ways to be defended and/or attacked.
Packaging still has to be fixed.

Of course still 5/5 and still wanting it to be in the release.

what's all these kooky extra files and folders in the zip? these intentional or accidental?

Hero | 2008-06-03 15:09

as he mentioned in his other node here, he doesn't know how to remove them (or didn't care 'bout it yet ^.^)

Redon | 2008-06-03 15:24

i definitely cared about those files and tried to remove them, but the program 'Tinkertool' i used made my User account useless as i cant log in anymore... (im currently using another user account and im trying to find a solution for the problem)

edit: oops forgot to use the reply button again =|

IIRC, the tool of choice is 'DotClean', you might wanna try that.

MovingTarget | 2008-06-04 13:19

The article about dot_clean's usage is in the packaging guide now.

I noticed a bit of the end of a tunnel that has some terrain no-clipped that probably wasnt intended. The effect is that often I notice I can see through the map, due to my head going into no-clipped terrain. Here's a screenshot of the area:

the top row of cubes that is selected is all no-clip. I think the intention was probably just to clip the two empty spots, but the cube's on either side accidentally got no-clipped as well.
