then its a good idea not to use MS Paint to resize pictures. You've learned your lesson here.

you can use any other picture editor like GIMP, Paint.NET or an online service. they all do their job perfectly
you can try this one: www.picresize.com

I don't know about the quality of the map yet but the screenshot looks quite interesting so I'll give it a try after lunch :P
Though I just wanted to say so far that you should upload your maps packaged as .zip instead of .rar, because .zip is a universal format that works on all systems, while the Mac I'm on right now doesn't know what to do with a .rar file - Please change that, thank you :)
Also, since I can't open it here I can't tell what's inside so I'll have to wait until I'm on my PC, but if the filenames are the same as the node and the .rar file: You should avoid capital letters in mapnames, because I heard it causes trouble on some systems.

Nice! You might want to redo the fans, though.

i don't like the skybox. it looks actually like a purple box. it looks awesome with the staffy skybox!

Woo finally T1. Ill have to check this out later.

looks like made for blood frontier
screenshot is epic though
im gonna try this out

hmmm

nice map
i really like the idea
geometry is really nice and stuff is well detailed
same with texturing

and you should use some particles or something like that for jumppads because i was confused when i tried to find a way out for that platform with nades

lighting seems to be mkay but i dont rly like the green lights on those 2 platforms with bullets
layout: i dunnu... its quite hard to move arround that map because it needs a little more space
it would be good for blood frontier imo

and the skybox: simply. it sucks. its really low resolution... its not even seamless

overall map is really pretty and it has quite big potential

good work and i hope you will make also Blood Frontier version! ;)

7/10 :)

Hmm, guess I can't claim to have an original opinion.. I agree with the others, this map is much better played in BF than in Sauer. In BF you get double jump, which is much more useful here. Plus you move slower and more controlled so the small platforms aren't as big an issue in BF.

The details on this map are incredible.. Truly a step above a LOT of maps released recently. The Trak5 texset is getting recognition more and more, and here it really works.

As the others said, ditch the skybox.. Less is more, and you can probably find a default one that works fine.

The layout is okay - I'm not a fan of symmetry but each side was detailed enough that it wouldn't make it too boring. Lighting is good as well.

Overall, strong map. I look forward to picking out the small details for my own stuff. 8/10

Fix the issues discussed by the others, give the map a better name, and try to use a Creative Commons or similar license (note: I must be able to modify the map if I need to). I'll include in Blood Frontier then.

wow , really nice first look, but how about the rest :

+nice design
+good texturing
+good lightning (imho)
+nice geometry
+good detailing

-really bad skybox, in a really bad colour ! (you have to change this pls !!! important ^^)
-some dead ends (these little flying stages have no way to go on)
-some "bug-cubes" which really break the atmosphere
-well like Kretren i also dislike symmetric maps (but i also built one ^^ but it sucked xD) because they have less (i call it) "jumping-quality" = you are just able to follow the random way.

Result: a really nice map, but after watching it for a while i saw some things i really dislike for example the really bad skybox (freaking out colour and low resolution). Furthermore you got some dead ends (in sauer = bad , in BF = okay). Your design is good and the gameplay works well. Lightning is good but not "wow" ( with white light maps look more boring). I think a good map but at the moment not a "wow-map". Maybe if you fix my critics above, i will get a good feeling.
But at the moment 7/10

description fix:
trak5 texture set is in "packages/trak5/package.cfg"
not including that /base you have.

otherwise, nice map :)

srbs

I'm almost totaly agree with Q009 this map need:

1)A skybox (but please keep it violet, great atmosphere choose!) try to do this one in a better way with smother borders and a bit more of resolution and less compression.

2)A way to evidence jumppad at a fist or fast looks they are invisible. I like particles and i suggest you to particle 4 all of them, other ways you can use a pulseglow textures or looks for something else in shaders...

Nice map i will rate it 7 too...

Sorry about the skybox, i noticed that when i finished it but i was going for theme take note on the fog it was suppose to repeat the pattern i guess resizing it or saving the file messed up the pixels thats why the patterns didnt match.. anyway ill find/fix the solution/probelm for it

Huh. The package "trak5" is missing, so all I get are the crosses, or "notexture". I'd like to play this map to it's full extent, so could you replace that package?

i just realized both yours and my map both float and have a purple background. that is the biggest coincidence ever.

( i sware that i didnt copy you, i had this idea forever)

quadro got a search function ? o.o

the skybox gives the effect on being on a dark energy sort of world, its really nice, but i suggest making a cloudbox as well, and more stuff to add some movement to the skybox, it will give a great effect if it "moves" ;)

xD oh i found the search function ^^

This map is now included in Blood Frontier as of SVN revision 6198.

Very nice level, especially geometry and textures (the trak5 set fits perfectly). I must say I'm not really a fan of platform maps (although I've once made one: Asteroids :P) but this one makes me change my mind. 8/10 and congrats for getting it included within Red Eclipse! :)

aww the new skybox breaks the theme! i liked the purple "dark energy" skybox, it gave the map a mysterious, dangerous feel. now the only thing i see is blackness and stars -.-

T1: check your teleports.
2 teledest & 2 teleport, but both teleports point to same teledest :)

I really would like to see this mal as ctf map
nice work but erase some healths and don't clip/noclip everything
