You should also update this map with the new stuff found in the SVN so you don't have to later on. Some of it includes better lighting and we also have the sunyaw, sunpitch etc commands for defining a sunlight without an entity.

Note: it's a fucking pain in the ass to use them since you have no idea where they are until you calclight. Perhaps eihrul will one day consider making our life easier by providing a compass that can be seen from the skybox (toggle) and making it possible to define the sunlight position just by moving it on the skybox. That part shouldn't be too hard i believe.

I'll let you know of any problems with the map later today, right now i'm busy raging with that's going on over here.

It´s great to see that you have found your style and I enjoyed your maps before, but this isn´t as great as I first thought.

Layout : The layout is pretty good and it finds a good balance between open and closed spots. There are a lot of ways and hardly any camper spots. You can´t camp from flag to flag and it´s funny to run around the map.
I like it how it is ! 10/10

Gameplay : The gameplay works great, too , but I got a little problem with ctf : If you want to get the flag you have to kill a little red-army because nearly every spawnpoint is set close to the flag.
Could be improved a bit ! 8/10

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I come to the designical issues, which can be skipped (because I think you know it isn´t that great)

Texturing : You only used five textures. It doesn´t look bad , but really boring. I would suggest to use some more contrast. 4/10

Detailing : The map isn´t detailed very well and it doesn´t need to , but some more would give the whole map a better feeling. Especially the terrain could be done much better and the background could be done better, too.
4/10

Lighting : One light, which gives a good effect, but it also looks boring :S
3/10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, the layout rules and the gameplay is lovely too, but when it comes to the designical part , the whole map goes down. It doesn´t look bad (don´t get me wrong) , but it´s really boring.
I definitely can´t wait to see this finished.

Only Layout and Gameplay : 9/10
Layout/Gameplay/Designical issues : 5,8/10

I won´t rate it yet, but I will play it once more :P
Greetings !

I noticed you wanted some gameplay ideas, so here we go!
- Keep health near the flag. This is just so players who defend have a fair chance to recover again, but also lets the attacker have a fresh start on their journey back to their own flag.
- Add pickups near an area where they are pretty useful. Take as example rockets which spawns between higher and lower ground. When a player grabs the rockets and went on the higher platform, they suddenly become way more useful. This adds a deeper layer of gameplay because the player keeps moving to get those flags and frags. If you would place pickups on the area where they make an advantage to other weapons, Take as example some riflerounds which are placed on a spot with good cover and a pretty good oversight on the area. This slows the gameplay down, because people stay at the certain spot.

The flow could be way better, I ran trough the map some minutes and definitely noticed that the broken walls and edges are really slowing you down immense. Be sure to improve the clipping/noclipping...

Nice map t-chen, i have to say somethings:

-there arent enought textures, that make the map boring.
-the destroyed buildings really dont have a good aspect, they have weird forms and look like how if you made it randomly.
-well, the only light is the sun... is fine for me, but it can be better.
-The layout is pretty good and playable, but is monotonous.
-there is one dead end in the only closed door.
-left clip and noclip.

For me this map is fabulous for now 6/10
I know you can make it better, you have experience at this, good job.

Hello t-chen!
I would like to use your map for the maplounge. If you agree pls send me message to nothing@nooblounge.net
Maplounge is a server where only selfmade maps (not in justice edition) can be played. Some were downloaded from quadropolis, many others done by friends of mine.
If you would like to participate, you can inform on www.maplounge.net

This is a basic map, but a nice one, it's a fun map I must say.
