[MAP-BETA1] Blood Prison

[Strahlemann]

Hi.
Here's a small, fast piece of deathmatch-geometry that really wants to be tested by you
It's called "Blood Prison".

I appreciate any comments and critics concerning
-the layout
-item placement
-size (should i scale up the map? /add additional rooms...)
-lighting (is it too dark for you?)
-anything else you can think of

Known issues that will be fixed:
-some areas are not clipped
-problems with some patches
-no rtlights so far

And of course some screenies:







You can get the map
here (rapidshare) (1MB)

wow, great work!!!!

[Strahlemann]

Thanks

btw. I'll scale the level up by 1/5th.
I had a quick run through the larger version and it feels better and less chaotic.

I only run trough the map a bit but its looking good. Well its a beta so light and shadows are still missing and without thos there is no bumpmapping yet. Deluxemapping is still on the engine todo list
The layout seems nice though its hard to remember after only a few mintes. But thats great about those small deathmatch maps.
I just hope the two trickjumps are intended and still work with the scaled version! Near the teleporter But i suppose you know which ones i mean.
Its good that one is unable to fall to death as with nexdm14, that map is also cool but a bit extreme with that aspect.. I'm looking forward to play that map with other people.

I think you mean that there are no rtlights so far when you say "lights and shadows are missing".
Without any lights and shadows it would be really really hard to make your way through the map (ever tried to to play with your eyes closed ? )

As the map is not very big i think one can learn the layout within 3-4 matches.
Yeah the trickjumps I'm glad you found them. They need some tweaking and i'll see what i can do.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah thats what i meant. You know i'm still a mapping newbie

Those trickjumps have been much more obvious then those on your other maps Would be cool if they remain working after the scaling. What is also cool are those small holes here and there although they are not really needed for nexuiz with its splash-through-walls. I'm beginning the see the power a mapper gets without that "trick". Seeing such a map almost makes me wish nexuiz did not have that splash thing
