I always liked this map, but the visuals of the original are rather dull. So i made a an atempt to make a nicer looking one, and in the proccess changed some other things too. enjoy.

Somehow this reminds me of a new car, can you supply new car smell also? one for Div perhaps, mixed with fog. New car smell fog :O

I really like the original silvercity also, going for a wander right now, thanks Tzork!

awesome yeah really awesome

and the nex is back

Mmmm, sexy looks. I can't wait until this makes it into the rounds!

awesome man! but please, can you remove the "railings"? they are a real decelerator. (i mean on the stairs, ramps and such. i think the style of the Strahleman maps would fit nicely.

Not sure what you mean.. If you mean the raised outer parts of the ramps (with a blue glowy trim on), thats a no. Thise are there in the orig too, and i like them alot. I dont see how they slow things down eigther.. well uness you steer yer chara like a drunk driver Maybe in some other remake, perhaps done by you, this could be done

eehehe you know me too well

sorry, i judged before even trying. you really done a great job here.
the map has a really nice flow now.

You committed one sin that may either be the rise or the downfall of this map. You put a Nex on it...

Yeh.. i know. i may have to change that. however every time i play the old one i seriously miss a nex (and my source map for the orig does have it..?)

Hmmm, i think the point of Silvercity is that you end up running round the bottom bit in endless mortar/RL running battles, putting the nex in this map?
As it doesn't have that huge open space at the bottom, I guess it won't be so bad, but snipers will be snipers and all that open framework up there might be too tempting for them. Mebbe there could be a silvercitylite with no nex?
I'll make it! (selects nex, presses backspace)

DIE SNIPER, DIE . . . oh . . . it's me (:

Nice work again mate, I LOL'd on the rocket

I ever wanted to make a better looking version of Silver City ... looks like there's no need for that anymore ... ... i think my version were not as good as urs if i made one ...

nice work zork ...

I always liked Silvercity, and this is a really nice update!

Bumping this for consideration in 2.4

Hmmm- I actually don't think this map is good enough to be included in 2.4. It's good, but not great.

Rocket what rocket?
Really , what rocket and where so funny.

Stabs Torus.

/keels over into kojak's soup

It's so awesome, it looped back through the circle of awesome and landed on awesome again.

-sprinkles cheese and croutons on torus-

needs more gloss textures!

I think it should replace the current silvercity. Just the same way reslimed replaced slimepit.

I really don't like fog on maps. I know it helps with performance but it's a bit annoying.

Anyways, the map looks really cool, much better then the old silver city.

Actually, fog does NOT increase performance, but actually DECREASE it a bit. But it makes the map look better.

I'd think that since fog makes some entities not visible it would help a lot on large maps.

But it is a bit annoying, you have to agree.

What it does do is it gives some maps a specific mood which they would lack otherwise.

On silvercity, it makes nothing invisible. The only map on which fog actually COVERS stuff is notme.

And no, I do not find it annoying.
