[Your daily q3 map][18] Skinmaster - Leafland

[Strahlemann]

Nr. 18:
A very open and experimental CTF map set in the middle of a pond. Should be fun for a couple of rounds, and it'll give you a fresh look and feel to your map collection and adds a new "music" track. I suggest to play 2on2 - 4on4.
Btw: The water IS player clipped by the author. The *.map file is included so if you think that this needs to be changed, it shouldn't be a problem to do so. Just let me know.

Um, I have been workin on this map for so long I've lost the authors name of the original skybox I used as the base for mine. If anyone can please thank that guy for me, I'd appreciate it! Great skybox dude!

See the readme included in the pk3 for more infos

Known bugs: Sometimes moving around can be kinda difficult due to the use of patches in many places.

40 hours compile time? That's ludicrous.

I feel bad for him

It's a nifty idea, and it doesn't look too bad, but I don't think it's a really functional map. I love the skybox though (despite the distortion).

[cortez]

thats was the map i have been waiting for

[Grasshopper]

ive played leafland a few times . it breaks the traditional map setting . i really enjoy romping around in it .

Wow, someone actually a) had a SGI Visual Workstation, and b) actually had the patience to produce something with it...

I played a round on this map and I like it. I think it's large enough for more than 4 vs 4. But then I'm the guy who made Torus..

I have only one real complaint about this map, and that is that it's too dark. I'd suggest increasing all the lights by about 50%. As they are now, it's hard to tell which team you're on. All the players look black.

[Strahlemann]

The map itself isn't too dark but the players are indeed. fullbrightskins should be used. I'll recompile it with increased light-values to see the difference.
