[MAP] Sierpinski (beta 2)

I would love to play such a map on DM. Could be VERY cool

I could make a DM map out of it, but I think I'd need to halve it (take only the blue part) and put something "interesting" on the other side instead of the red part. Any ideas?

hard one. personaly i think this map design does mutch better as ctf then dm. however i only tried it on a laptop playing with a touchpad on lowest possible settings one single time (dident even find the flag that time xD)

one idea whould be to build one half of the map like a more solid (as in more coherent ground space) base. Then place all the good stuff out on the triangles. beeing on the solid ground would definetly give a more eazy ride, but to gain killpower and replenish health/ammo/armour one would need to venture out into the other side.

anotehr idea; place a base in the center and some cuved walk ways arround the outer rim with a few path leeding into this central base complex.

both thise idea include preddy heavy modding of the maps basic layout tho, so it would be more of a new map then a dm version of it.


Oh and btw, cant wait to get home so i can try it out on a computer better equiped for gaming, looks like a realy fun ctf map. keep up the good work.

Haven't played it yet but I can understand this arguments. I guess a new map with "the basic idea" of this would be the best.

Say what is the grey floor for ? (also could use some work, the plain cut from a plain into sky doesn't look to good ... add a border ?

[divVerent]

Where is grey floor? It is _supposed_ to be water if you mean that, but I didn't find anything better.

[Qantourisc]

hmm indeed i mea the water, no idea what do with it either though ....

[tZork]

the water look dull for a few resons. first its a fairly small texture i think (256x256?) with to mutch contrast. this makes its tiling pattern very visible. secondly, most nice looking watertextures have 2-3 stages. to bad darkplaces dont handle multistage shaders. a 512 or even 1024x1024 with less contrast and better tiling would go a long way to make it look better. proly scale it up a bit too. also if posible a tcmod in the shader to give it a slight movement could perhaps make it look better.

th emap is fun. We are getting some of tese "fun"-maps now.. Maybe some mechanlism for separating between "realisitc" and "fun" maps sould be deviced.

aboput the map ddesign: maybe you should try and trick some lighting effects to make the huuge triangles under the strength disappear as they go lower? now they are fully visible no matter how deep you see them, wish is a bit unnatural

also consider adding some minor movement to the "floating" trianlges?

edit:
and your water has floor sounds

Apparently this is a Nexuiz bug, but no idea where exactly (otherwise I'd fix it).
