i haven't seen such a nice 1 on 1 map in a long time. maybe add a cloudlayer for some movement in the map.

excellent. i have to say this map is really nice, and i'd like to suggest a few things.

skybox harmony by skiingpenguins seems to fit the map a lot better
i advise using /blurlms (1 or 2) to avoid blocky light and shadow casts.
there should be some noclipping done on the 45 degrees stair rails (the black ones). i get stuck sometimes.

and that weird particle thingy on top doesn't seem suitable, maybe you should think of something else to put there?

keep improving it :)

awesome *eof*

nice map, the theme really seems to be populair this period...
the texturing is pretty nice, got nothing to say about that.
the lighting seems to be fine too.
same counts for detailing.
the flow, isnt great, just because there should be add a lot of noclip. as example, noclip the trimmings on the edges, it really interrupts the movement. its just fine further.
the gameplay, seems fine.
clipping/noclipping, there hasnt been spend much time in that. its easy to get outside the map, you bump to things like those trimmings, etc. there is a bar of noclip just under the middle bridge with no purpose at all.

its a nice map but clipping and noclipping still has to be done.

ill give it 8/10 for now, just because of that...

Yeah i agree with clipping/noclipping , but the rest is really nice.

9/10

this is the 1st map on this game that actually looks like a halo map! definitely a 10/10. i do agree that the clipping should be worked on.

As I said the map is not finished yet. At the beginning I put the main emphasis on the layout and appearance. I wanted to know first, before I finished the map, what do you think about it. So your right, clipping isnt really done yet.
Keep in eye on this content, i will upload the next update soon :)
But anyways, thx for your fast answers :)

uhm, i tried to clip those trimmings on the crooked stairs, but i have not found a way to make them less "stucky"... if someone nows a ways to clip them, pls tell me!!

ah, I think it would be pretty cool let the map as climbable as now. I wont add some more clip on the walls.

here some screenshots of the trimmings and other things that should get clipped or noclipped...

i hope its a bit clear now...

update 2:
-added clip and noclip
-changed lighting [deleted the sunlight and changed ambient and skylight [im not sure about the current one... but i would be interested in what do you think about it]]
-some details added/changed

Let me say before my review that upon seeing the screenshot, I immediately downloaded the SVN of Sauerbraten. This map was my motivation!

I see again you're branching out into different themes. Your earlier sci-fi map was much better than this one, so I can't blame inexperience in this genre, and of course looking at your past work I can't blame you as a mapper.. Maybe I'll blame the fact that you spent a weekend only on this.

Texturing is basic and uninteresting. The justice textures don't really provide enough variety for an entire map made out of them; they need things like natural landscape to balance them out and break the monotony of them. Case in point, you used the same gray base texture practically everywhere, making seperate architecture blend with eachother rather than standing out as details.

I like how you can climb on basically everything, although in a map like this I can see it being a problem. Campers will really abuse it, especially in instagib, since you can get all the way to the top quite easily.

The flow is bad, I think. The interconnected staircases are a good idea, but I think they'd be better implemented in a larger map. The stairs in this, a small map, make up most of the middle of the map, and stairs should never be the focus of your map. In other areas it just seems broken, such as the series of platforms that are piled on one another and must be jumped on to allow the player to access them. The entire corner of the map is broken that way. I understand making some areas "tricky" to use, but this makes up a good chunk of the map and really ruins the flow for me.

There are some creative parts, such as the jumppads and the glass barriers, but largely this architecture seems like cheap Halo.

The lighting only enhances the basic architecture and texturing, making them more obvious. Nighttime (with many lightsources) would probably be a better environment for the map, but that's just my opinion.

I'd say 5/10. Some parts are pretty good, but this is not an overall strong sci-fi map, and I can tell little work was put into it. That said, it was little work done by a good mapper, so there are redeeming qualities in it. But I'm of the philosophy of committing to the project till it's perfect, and this has a long way to go before meeting my standards (and my standards of you). Plus, I generally dislike arena-esque maps.

uhm, i guess im a bit "overmapped" atm... i should finish some maps i started with misan and then take a mapping break for...some weeks/month to get new ideas.
i cant reach the level of the good old days :)
