good job! 7/10

Suicizer | 2011-05-17 21:20

Commented on Quad Map Contest website already and won't change my opinion...

75/100, so 8/10 here...

Greaserpirate | 2011-05-17 23:36

Nice map! Great layout, great geometry, my only advice is add some skylight and decrease the ambient. The sunlight looks two-toned, and the dark spaces aren't that dark.

Otherwise, awesome map!

Uploaded an update, which fixes some designical issues, adds more details and improves ctf-gameplay.
Check it out and have fun with it !
(Probably the last update)

Nice update!

I preciate you take my advice about the flags, that there should be more ways to a flag. I like the idea of the cave, but make it just a bit less cubic. It's still too sharp at the moment. Maybe you should take a look at "shipwreck", "c_valley" or "xenon" for a good example. I know it's pretty hard to create a good looking cave, since I've been busy with one for one of my other projects.

It's nice to see you made the map look more "broken" (like the house close to "flag 270 2" and the building close to the angel statue), but make it look a bit less blocky. Also, blocky wood isn't very realistic :P. What about to lead a wooden bar trough the stuff? So it would look like if the bricks around the wooden bar are falling apart.

You did a great job at the lighting. It's not perfect yet, but way better.

I'm sorry that won't give you that full 80 yet, but it's damn close to it, 79/100!

Mysterious | 2011-05-19 20:15

You don't need to be sorry , it's great to get some tips for the final update.
It's my biggest project yet and that's why i want to make it as perfect as i am able to.
Yeah, it's quite hard to make a Cave less cuby , especially when it straight goes up xD, but i will keep an eye on it.
The "New" way to the flag was already planned, but time went over so fast until the Contest ended. It was quite hard to do such a Big project for the Contest , but i really love the results and btw. we Three (suizicer, nothing and myself) were the only to present a nearly finished Map at the end of the Contest.
I think we all can Be proud of us :).

Thanks for the comments,
Greetings Mysterious

If you fix the skylight (the map is dark) and the background (where there is a ship, is too empty and open) the map will be more good.

Mysterious | 2011-05-21 15:46

Final update is online now !
Check it out ;)
Greetings, Mysterious

Suicizer | 2011-05-21 20:54

What about adding a burn sound to torches? The fire-particles aren't right placed. I've never seen fire coming out a wooden bar, only around.

Be sure you don't have to use trickjumps a lot to get somewhere. Like a gap in a building, with a pile of crates in it, the roof of it is only reachable by using a trickjump, while the edge of the gap could easily be noclipped so you could acces the roof by a normal jump either.

Nice updates, 8/10!

Mysterious | 2011-05-21 21:38

The Map got so much buildings and i don't exactly Know what House you meant :(.
I thought about some Burning sound, but i don't like the One which already exists and i havent Found a good New One :/

Anyway, thanks for the comment. Maybe this wasn't the Final update .......

mutaF | 2011-05-22 04:54

okay, i must say i am a bit disappointed about this one, because i expected much after i read all your expert comments :/

imo, some bleak texture choice, like the one with the the bricks which you used a lot for the ground.
some buildings, rooms and ground need more trimming (trim is everything, some wise man told me once).
you set items into the big water behind the flagbase, so you want ppl go there i guess :/...its totally useless imo.( on a public server 30% of players will take a bath instead of playing the game).
also, the flag base at the waterside is way easier to protect compared to the flagbase in the house ( makes the game uneven).
the gameplay is like tortuga for me (very narrow and closed), its playable but not my taste for good ictf games.
the upperpart at the roofs is nice and the only spot where you would find me if this map would run on public servers.(because its open like teh sky)
the mapmodel is nice too! (good work if you made it by your own)

all in all the map is not bad but nothing special either.

5/10 for now.

peace!

edit: i just saw you said in the description, that it is made for capture mainly, that change my sight a bit ---> 6/10

Mysterious | 2011-05-22 08:34

Thx for comment !
The mapmodels arent done by myself (if you mean the trees) but they fit pretty well.
Test the gameplay with bots if you want (I included some waypoints), because it works better than you think.

The part of water is too open, bored and big... that spoil all the map.
The skylight is good now :) but my vote still in 8, the water part was more important.

Mysterious | 2011-05-23 17:02

For those who didn´t like the sea or think it is boring, I updated the map and made it more interesting.
Check it out !

Suicizer | 2011-05-23 18:23

Here is the roof were I was talking about. There are some more of this in the map, but don't know exactly where at the moment.
Be sure to check the flow at such specific points and try to replace trickjumps for normal jumps (exclusive jumps like a rocketjump or nadejump, just like pistoljumps, riflejumps, etc).

Nice job! I'm very sure it still can be improved (like the wooden planks on roofs, wich could better be rotated 90 degrees, so you get all sides planks wich are running from the left to the right, not from front to back), but it always can. I'll give 85/100 for now.

Your link was borken! D:

Thou shalt preview links before posting.
I fixed it for you. :P

RaZgRiZ | 2011-05-24 13:40

mmm.. shalt..

TheLove | 2011-05-29 05:55

very nice map, but you must support the ship add teleport or rainbow to it .. anything make it easier to go ship-beach-ship >:)

Mysterious | 2011-05-29 12:19

a rainbow ? xD

Suicizer | 2011-05-29 21:23

What about a rope to a cloud that's leading to the ship? xD

RaZgRiZ | 2011-05-30 11:35

Don't forget the rampaging unicorns. It's their territory up on that cloud.

randomly found this map while looking for another map titled euphoria.
love the sounds (although you tease us with unused sound effects in the cfg)

i agree with some previous comments about bland textures, and i also think the water should just be death material, and the ship turned into just a prop. base 2 (by the water) is supposed to be base 3 i (it is misnamed in capture modes)

i wonder if anyone will see this comment, 9 years later?
