Awesome job dreamzzzzz. Not sure if you remember me from like half a year ago but i think this is one of your coolest maps that ive seen from you. Looks very fun for instagib or deathmatch. The layout is great, weapons are placed well, and the lighting definately reminds me of the colorful lights in Tokyo. Im going to rate it 5/5 because i cant really find anything wrong with it and everything was done very well and i can tell you payed a lot of attention to detail.

i think i do remember... you had the desert map that had a box-filled warehouse with a perfectly modelled forklift in it, right? that was sweet =D

thanks for the compliments (and the vote XD)... congratulations on "techopolis"! apparantly it's gone all cvs and ctf now but i remember seeing it on a server not too long ago, and it's incredible (and even more so now, i imagine, after reading the updates)... i didn't comment on the node (i don't know what crude improvements i could possibly suggest XD) but i did rate it 5 and i can't conceive of a legitimate reason one wouldn't.

thanks again... if i am remembering you correctly (and i am pretty sure of that) we casually agreed at one time to make a map together eventually... another time maybe ;)?

I like that crazy map layout, but there are also things i don like:
-it seems that the lights are placed very randomly and you don't have good lightsources (which you can see, so made of geometry), also there are too many different colors at one place. It confuses me, that you don't know where all these different light come from and when you run every few steps you have a different light color which is very confusing.

-texturing is very simple imho, have a look at other maps how they use textures (not colored light) to make wide areas look more exiting. Also edges are mor highlighted.

-add some more details to the wall like tubes or ornaments, signs/symbols etc. to make them look more exiting.

atm it's 3/5 for me, because it's very confusing with all these lights and there aer missing details imho

First off, I'm surprised no one else has mentioned these, but eh. Maybe I'm just more detail oriented.

1. Your commands in your cfg should not have a / in front of them. They will not work if they do. So, your cfg should read something like this:
loadsky mayhem/eclipse
fog 1000
fogcolour 0

2. There should be nothing in the /base directory of your zip other than the cfg, the ogz, and the loading jpg. The screenshot and txt should be in the root directory if they're going to be anywhere, and really, because they're copies of what's on this page, I don't see a need for them at all. Definitely not the screenshot.

3. Your little moons (I'm guessing that's what they are?) are pretty close to the map, given the skybox you chose, I'd make them a bit larger and much farther away. On the same lines, like apflstrudl I feel like your lighting could use some sourcing. Make some geometry that looks like a logical light source and build from there. Just having gaudy colors is a pain to the eyes.

@tentus, regarding cfg & superfluous /base content: ok, i'll fix that next time around =)

@apflstrudl, simple texturing + wall detail: while i believe the map has more interesting detail than you give it credit for, i think that perhaps the repitition in some corridors may bland them out...i have looked at other maps, and frankly, a lot of the maps in sauer are just filing up space. did you even read the text to discover the nature of the name of my map? if this looks like quake 2, good, that was a good game with good maps, but this is not supposed to literally have streetlamps and street signs and park benches everywhere.

@tentus, about "moons": i'm not sure what they are, and they don't really even need to be there... i made them to mark my lights in the sky and thru forgetting to erase them i guess they became part of the map. simply- i'm not sure what your complaint about them was, but the "moons" were tacked on and i imagine you are right to request that they be "larger and much farther away" for whatever reason (although i'll still probably just delete them)

@tentus & apflstrudl, concerning coloured light: i guess i could put in a lightbulb in the sky, but then it would need some sort of light fixture... that would need to be connected (eventually) to a wall of some type... if i let frivolous preconceptions get in the way of the idea they will eat into it. furthermore, the only unexplained lights are the sun-lights in the sky; every corridor, room, passage and outdoor wall with a light explains it very explicitly with a light fixture and texture.
