Blurb A simple forest with a river

Screenshot Forest

Detailed description

It's simply just a heightmapped cube with over 180 trees placed in total, so far most feedback I got for this has been very positive

This hasn't been tested in play, and the map itself wasn't intended for play either. so keep in mind the weapons were quite hastily placed, along with bases, power ups and flags

License wise, the map itself is PD
includes textures files (with the exception of greengrass.png) are under the CC-BY-SA license (and created by me)
and all included audio are under CC-BY-NC-SA and sampling plus licenses

Removed the .svn directory (grr, bad hirato), on the good side, it's 0.8MB smaller :P

First: You seem to have included some SVN files in your archive... A quick fix.

It's a pretty little map, though the atmosphere is more suited to a swamp than a rainy river.

Not sure if it possible to change this, but to me, the water looks too "wet", if you know what I mean... Too fluid. Too thin.

Heh, just realized there were sounds included... Maybe I should listen to as well as look at the map.

Thanks for the feedback mate

sorry for the inclusion of the svn files, this was meant to be used in 'sandbox', not sauer (once again, just like the particle replacements)

I suppose it's a bit too "sickly of a green" to be suited to a rainforest :)

in a real rainforest, raining tends to cause lots of floods... so maybe I should submerge the whole map.... kidding :P

There's a music file, and a rain sound with the occasional bird tweet, sounds quite lovely even with /musicvol at 0 which I'll assume you'd have :P

This was quite wonderful. Enjoyed it.

so beautiful Hirato, but is incomplete map, i think the end of the map must be like paradise lost map, not like a simple wall, and i think, some futuristic constructions inside will be really really beauty. anyway 4/5 for the moment.

Thanks for the comment marvin...
the map is really just something I threw together in about 5 hours (includes light map calculation time... that took forever... even with the far faster normal calculation times present in CVS)

also my idea was to surround the forest by a huge bamboo overgrowth... sort of like it's perhaps just a small part of a much larger, and fiercer jungle.

i like the message for particles straight-off and then the effect of the rainforest really does kick in : )

i would possibly recommend a 3d background. (AKA a rainforest being torn down. AKAA stumps and lorrys )
and maybe a sign saying 'dedicated to all those poor trees getting ripped down. (that will win over the tree hugger ;P

EDIT: the fog was just right
EDIT2: and damn that music is peaceful i nearly fell asleep (people should make more chilled maps than the busy future and city maps, simple is the way
forward) and how you make texture move like that? is it a parameter?
EDIT3: omg im adding alot of edits but oh well. maps that are artisitic such as: enterprise ship, this and the red butchers volleyball court( have you seen all the detail on that power box!! ^^) anyway overall 5/5 but add a 3d background
