Sure.. if one loves freaking low fps.. Rotating stuff can't be used in the bsp tree and slows rendering down..

constructive idea: what about letting the skybox rotate (by not using a skybox, but a HUGE func_rotating instead, preferably not with a submodel but with a model in e.g. dpm format), and keeping the map static?

take the nexball model put it in the middle with solid and a movetype would be good (and retexture the ball) or make the texture of the roulette thing rotating

roulette spun for me

sweet fps.....

nah, good looking map

Yes the roulette wheel spins.

This is supposed evoke the "ancient ruin" motif which was seen in some of the sonic games (marble zone, aquatic ruin, marble garden, rusty ruin, etc)

Has anyone played a ctf match?

The roulette wheel has caulk in it's bowl so you'll only get the benifit of slower fps when you are in it or up high.

gamblers meh..

Is the ammo floating in that second screenshot?

Woah , looks awesome duuude,
why is your shotgun blue? are you using dsn?
or are you cold?
this map looks funny ,nice one.

WOAAAAAAaah

Ok, very nice map, the music kind of bothered me though.

I like the archetechture. Very nice. As always.

I found one thing, i dont know if it was intentional, but some of the colors of bushes didnt match, one was like solid green and the other was like a leafy texture.

EDIT: Rad Ished, you were "Aly Spider"?

EDIT: [-z-], yea those ammo packs are indeed floating.

You should make a sonic inspired map . If some of us all do one we'll basically have a whole "game" done, and then can make a race-campaign of them (If we have 6 maps we have 6 "zones", which is usually what a sonic game has, and sonic is basically just a race game).

After playing in various game modes, what is your opinion?

Some new screenshots of v13:







Tell me your thoughts!

Guess I missed the ball w/ this map (no more replys )

just found this map on djSupport's EuroCTF server..

after long Download the map was quite surprising.
FPS are okay-ish for such an open and big map, but i noticed it makes heavy use of the engine effects (low gfx mode makes map look whole lot different than hight graphic effects), which WILL kill some of your FPS.

there are many (many many many) rotating things within it, this is okay, although feels useless.
(for Xonotic i would like to have more moving platforms or so...say q3dm19)

i didnt notice the Sonic theme until i read it, but now i recall. The working race-loop was fun too..

i really hated the MAZE!

conclusion: this map has a bit of everything thrown in the bowl, bits of show-off, slices of i-am-not-like-you and far too much of it.
strip off the maze, kill some of the rotating stuff, including the useless (what for?) roulette and make an ancient-ruin sonic-inspired map.

PS: i really liked the spiked balls! death by trigger_hurt, yeah! (it's a danger quite obvious to the eye, not like the common invisible plasma/lava-wall-death)

if I can I'll edit map only part of map I hate is the under water flag bases!!

wohooo hooo!
you know, this may be a bad map at all, but there are bits of it i really apprecciate!
at first there is moving stuff.. which is (sadly) quite uncommon with nexuiz maps.
also, some ideas are nice, like the spike balls that hurt. even the sonic resemblance is nice (not to say cute).

well, that's it what's good, i won't bother telling about the rest (especially as it's a mikeusa map).

then again, it was nice to experience all that quite unusual stuff, like the sonic looping in there.

no, underwater maze was bullshit, useless rotating stuff too. please, if used, give it some effect pls.
(for example, some rotating wheel could have launched you into a good direction)

but so far, it contained too much areas which should be avoided as player (because of WTF).


and no, esteel, it didnt kill framerate (due to caulk brush), so please use moving elements more often..

The file I need is in the pk3 I'll look into removing the underwater flags....
