Detailed description

This is my second map ever made. I hope it does better than my first one "Arena" wich got 2 out of 5, but after reading the comments I made this one with the advice from one of the comments by K1P5YA. This is a small DM map that has rows of seats circling around the fighting area and halls going to the entrance and the fighting area and not much more to explain because its small. Hope this ones better =). EDIT: I fixed up the map a little, the halls are bigger, quad properly placed, no dead ends and more light.

Hi Donut78,

A fine little map. However there's some major critisism on this map as well ;) No worries, im not trying to be mean, just constructive :)

1. The inner corridors are waay to small. In SB corridors will need to be at least 4x4 size 16 cube so that you can jump/dodge. (Also theres a few dead ends, which is an absolute no-go in SB)

2. The Quad again is on a superior position, when u get the quad u can shoot evrything dead beneath you. I'd suggest to put it in the center so that everyone shoots at the person with the quad, and the person with the quad evryone around in the arena.

3. The seperate levels are a little narrow. Make the running space at least 2x as broad, so that you wont directly fall to a level lower when u strafe a little right/left.

It's a fine idea for a small dm map, and concidering these few points it will make an awesome small and superfast 2v2 arenamap :)

Congratulations on the wheapon placement btw, not to much not to little, I like ;)

I wont rate this yet, Id like to see where you'll take this first ;)

im not exactly sure how i would fix my map up as in the errors "There is improper or inadequate detail in this content." and "Files in this content are improperly packaged or presented. " could someone tell me specifically what to fix in both those categories?

To fix those, the coliseum needs to be more rounded, be easier to travel through (larger, wider walking spaces and hallways), and have more and better lighting than it currently has. Also, I would change the map name to coliseum, because that is the correct spelling of the word.
I like the map, but those are the improvements I think are needed.

ok i fixed it up a little, did it help out at all?

what about adding some more texture to give a better feeling to the exterior of the building? its all a bit.. yellowish white brick

Quad placement is way better. You need to wheapon jump it to get to it, which is good. However The inside corridors are still way to narrow and there could be some detail added so it wont be so absolutely symetric. (eg. one side is sort of torn down and climable, just an idea) The different levels are still way to narrow for sauerbraten gameplay. It sorta feels difficult to run around on the top floors (altho you did an awesome job with the noclip for smooth gameplay). After all you dont really wanna end up in the middle all the time and get fragged from other players sitting in the middle like a duck ;)

Other than that its a fine little map. I like the way you work, placing your building blocks outside the map to take them as reference or copying them later. However if you delete them for your release map filesize and lighting calculation will 1. decrease filesize and 2. be a lot quicker to load etc (just a tip)

this doesnt really have anything to do with the map but does anyone know if you can rotate fire and how?
