I should point out also that the tree trunks are clearly coniferous (needles), but the canopy is clearly deciduous (leaves).

The ground is also too well lit considering the tree cover.

I like what you are doing with this map. With a good skybox and some fog this would look much better.

How old is that kid?

I'm just glad that Nexuiz players keep the eye candy on, I was seeing some Warsow pics recently and apparently most Warsow players play fullbright and picmip 16, which looks retarded, not even slightly honoring the art quality the level designer intended.

Don't hold your breath for a new version of this (or do, if you can hold your breath for a really long time). It's being almost completely redone to be larger, more interesting, and botanically correct.

Instead of those ramps, gameplay is going to be entirely in the trees- if you fall down, you use bouncepads to get back up.

Probably be done in a couple weeks.


Oh, and where the hell do you find those videos, Pav? That kid can't read. The map is called "Silvion," from the Latin word for forest- silva, ae, f.

Wait, did I get that right?

No ramps?


So the players are going to move around on big tree limbs? If so, that would be really cool!

Can I help with this project? I loved the UT 2003 forest map and tried making a similar CTF map called treetops but back then I sucked at mapping. In my version you fall you die.

If you redo the map... can you give me the full sources (including models) of the current Silvion so I can compile a version without map holes? I'll do the compiling - and your new map would be "Silvion II"?

I can hold my breath for ten minutes.

No, there are going to be walkways- although one could walk on the limbs.

@ ishan: Sure. It's only in the drawing/model creation stage though. I'll send you a PM later today.
