Detailed description

This map contains the idea of an old fashioned game; hide & seek

**Warning** this is an extremely dark map, locking yourself up in your room, closing all possible shutters to ensure maximum gaming pleasure is advised ;)

The idea behind this map was to make a map where you dont see too far ahead and that you have to "search" for your opponents. Its devided into 4 levels, which consist of one underground corridor, the ground level, the top floor and a bridge above the whole arena. This shoud encourage for "surprise attacks" such as enemys jumping down on you which you will not see looking up etc.

This map is purely experimental and I will surely work on it a little, since it's my first map im sure texturing isn't all too good yet, but I tried.

My main goal was to make it a fun map with good gameplay (which I hope i have achieved since all corridors, stairways, etc should enable enough room for jumping / dodging)

Hence I'd encourage DMs and Instagibs on this map

Advice, critisism and ratings are very welcome

EDIT 1: clip/noclip added, some changes in texturing, .cfg edited ;), some lighting edited

Hi Zheddo,
this is a very nice map and idea.
I like the darkness at short range that you've created through black fog, also the textures choice and lighting are perfect. Good also the ample spaces, ideal both for Instagib or DM.

5/5, congratulations! :)

This map is really good. It has many open places and some to hide behind, that's really good.
I like the stairs to the quad. They look really good.

But i see one problem with the fog, which is not your fault.
If you type /fog 10000 (or sth like this) then the fog is gone, but that's a prob of sauer.

Texturing is also really good. I like it.

5/5

Hehe, it's a very nice map, indeed. I like the idea of having one map which is very dark. So, in that point, you really achieved your goal. Texturing is very nice, lighting is ok, also there is enough space to move in. These "things" where the quad and the YA are floating on are a good idea, too.

I especially like the transition of the two floor textures on the lower area, nice idea ;)

Lol, is that a zoom script in the .cfg file ?

I see, clip/noclip is not yet completed, but you already mentioned, this is sort of work-in-progress.

Very nice so far, 4/5 from me atm ;)

wow so much positive feedback, I'm honoured!!

Yeah as said it's still work in progress, so im sure there'll be one or the other update :)

@ rocknrol: *blush* yeah that indeed is a zoom script in the .cfg had that in there to test something and forgot to take it out *grin*

Great work, though I find it a bit strange those lights not shining through the fog but as aphl mentioned, it´s about sauer.. You have some original ideas and originality is allways a great plus IMO ;) Im quite sure this map will play well, though not having played it in group. You did great work on the geometry too.

I like the darkness concept and the layout: I would recommend doing a bit more playing with the lights though. With only a few exceptions I found, the lights were all the same values, a solid bright white. A bit of variation would help make the map a bit more diverse, and the occasional broken lamp would really help the atmosphere.

BTW, great job on the clip and noclip- the map plays amazingly smoothly.
