[MAP] Rust Vents

This is a CTF map. DM is enabled, but I think this map is way too large for that.

I decided to skip the transparent textures thing - because I couldn't get them to work. So those brushes are now solid. The file size is a bit larger than that of most maps. Maybe I should reduce the quality of the textures?

How do I get this thing onto a server? I'd like to see how it works with real players (instead of bots).

looks like a really promising CTF map!

I'll wait for a release with some bugfixing and then put it on my CTF server !

Thanks for taking my suggestion about the textures. It looks much better, and easier on the eyes.

There you go, its not the worlds greatest server but none the less

Very unique map. A few thoughts:
- Are the mega health and strength/invincibility supposed to overlap like they do?
- The stairs look kinda like they're just floating in mid air; maybe add some backing support (this is entirely superficial, but it helps in making the map feel more natural)
- A skybox could add even more depth to the level; try finding one that really helps set the mood

You're welcome. I have an unfortunate tendency to overuse the same textures.

BTW: Where's your avatar from? A film? Something you did yourself?

Couldn't find it. How does one join directly to a server in Nex? Through the console? (in which case; what's the cmd?)

They don't. First one gets the health, and then the powerup. But your question makes me think maybe they're too close together. The intention was to get the player to think the health was all there was. Maybe I should just remove the health from those locations.

- The stairs look kinda like they're just floating in mid air; maybe add some backing support (this is entirely superficial, but it helps in making the map feel more natural)

They have support. But the supports are narrow and in the shade, so I guess they aren't very visible.

Eh? That map has a skybox. It works too... at least on my machine..

Man may never know.

It looked just plain white to me, unless that's what you were going for
