My first experience with Nexuiz level-design and my second level in GTK Radiant.
Only deathmatch gametype available.

Oh my, that looks fine (reminds me of UT2004's rankin map)

My first impression is that it is a very good looking design, and I generally like this style of map. If this is your first Nexuiz map, I look forward to the other maps that you create!

The only negative feedback I have for your map is that it seems too small, like it needed to be scaled up slightly... maybe x1.1 scale. That is the only thing I can say negative about it.

Those screenies look awesome =)

It looks very nice from the screens. Good work.

Finally, a playable version, I was waiting for this. I will try it out later today, can't wait! Thank you for this map!

Nice map !
Good and clean brushwork!
I made a quick demo running around in it.
demo: http://strahlemann.pdk.cc/breathium.rar

Some suggestions:
-scale the map up (i'd say smth. around 1.3 times original size) This will also cause having less head-bumpy areas.
-make the lava deeper
-maybe swap the Nex with the Rocket Launcher or Hagar as the Nex is kinda useless on this kind of map.
-player-clip these walls

Thanx for your feedbacks, I will fix problems with scale as fast as it possible )

Scale was my only complaint as well . Err... wait and the lava... you can walk on it. I'd prefer you sink.

Great map otherwise!

That's an awsome map. Never seen something like this from an unknown mapper.

Lava. Is. Not. Liquid! Finally, a mapper who recognizes that! Keep the lava how it is!

Yeah but I'm also not the devil jesus who walks on lava.



Or maybe I am.

That's not lava.That's hot,molting liquid thingy,that burns players to crisp!Everybody knows that
Very nice job,keep it up coming!

I've tried it out, small, quick, 1vs1 works best probably. I really like it and I'm looking forward to seeing it on the servers. A bit claustrophobic, though, I think the scaling idea is worth a try. Can't wait to see more .

Also, I like the doom1-style lava, though I am not sure if this is realistic either. I say we write to the Myth Busters .

Lava is not so deep to drown in it, the depth of lava-pool is about 8 units. I think, it is normal )
I've rescaled map by 1.25 and tonight I will compile and upload it.

Looking forward to it

Why i mentioned the lava in the first place:


I believe that the lava-room should serve at least these purposes:
- Holding a powerful weapon that is hard to reach, but it's still rewarding to go for it
- Give some interesting architecture to fight around

Both already are in the map, but what they should do gets totally lost due to wrong scale and the non-lethal lava. You don't even care if the Nex would be hard to reach, as the lava is not dangerous (<- that's why lava should get more deadly/deeper).
The scale already breaks even more.
It's easily possible to jump from the side straight to the Nex, therefore noone will use the long "correct" way to the Nex through the middle of the map (which is a pity). Also having the platform where the Nex is higher would result in players having more vertical fighting. The upper player always has the advantage, but as it's kinda narrow up there and jumping down could easily fail due to the (deep) lava and some guy down there shooting at you, this will give some good fights. If the scale is correct.
Don't get me wrong here, i really like your map, and you've got some good architecture/lighting and layout. That's why i don't want to see this map failing due to something stupid like scale

Aand again about the lava : I don't care if it's like "real" lava and you can walk on it or not. Lava is a gameplay-element which needs to be used as such in the right places and in the right amount. If all maps in Nexuiz would be realistic and physically correct you could also sit down with some friends, poking each other with branches and shouting "frag", instead of playing Nexuiz...
sorry for the ranting...

I'm looking forward to the next version !

Lava can be liquid and not so dependant on the temperature, so I see no problem here.

hahaha, wonderful imagery.


I do appreciate your explaination about the lava and the layout of maps. I see that you have this down to a science.

Taste it!

Map rescale via 1.25 - done
Lava pool depth - done
Hagar instead of Nex - done

I don't really agree with the nex swap / the boards up to it but everything else looks great.

Also, future reference. It's suggested you use the naming convention: mapname_v#r#

Where v = version and r = revision. i.e. my_cool_map_v1r4

CPMA can use alternate weapon/item layout. Can Nexuiz do something like it or we need to rebuild map to swap one weapon and two items?

It's suggested you use the naming convention: mapname_v#r#

Ok.

if you just want to quickly change some weapons or the item placement on a map, start it up in nexuiz, open the console and type "sv_saveentfile". This will store a file called mymap.ent in your Nexuiz/data/maps folder.
This file holds all the entity-informations of your map.
Now you can edit it using a text-editor of your choice, so you don't need to recompile your whole map.
But i suggest that you also do the changes in radiant, so if you have to recompile the map again for another version of it or whatever, you don't have to edit the ent file again.

Is there any chance to have this released under the GPL_v2 license?

Another words: you need a source?

Well, this is one of the best candidates (IMO) for the 1on1 pack that we are working on.
http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.ph ... highlight=
I myself think that it should be included in a future release of Nexuiz because of it's very good details and gameplay.

As the pack is going to be released under the GPL v2 license and additionally, we wish to make a couple of small tweaks to the map, it needs to be GPL'd if we want it included. I think there was a couple of non-free textures in the map, but I'm quite sure we could easily replace those with something free. (as in speech)
www.burningwell.org for example is a good source of completely free to use textures.

Here: http://scrama.3dn.ru/tmp/rebreathium.zip

Only one texture was grabbed from Pitoes pak - pak of free-for-non-commercial-use textures.

So the .map is gpl?
Edit: Could you also say which texture was from the for non-commercial use pack?
Edit2: is it brick2.jpg? :p

Thanks.

The .map is gpl, yeh =)

well done this is possibly the most impressive map i have seen for nexuiz!
