Recognized it immediatly. Nice map, though I think it'll be better for Nexuiz. I'm used to Nexuiz Physics and Quake Live really doesn't work that well for me in that aspect.

keep it up guys

Yes it is REALLY hard to remake this map for Nexuiz so that you keep the angles and the difficulities of the special jumps on the same level as in Quake Live, where this map is simply brilliant. I think I could port most of the distances and hardness of jumps very well, I am testing this map extremely thoroughly in this aspect, you will see it The point of the whole map to "introduce" the same type of path selection dilemma as it on the Quake Live map, thats why I removed laser so the duelers cant be everywhere in the same time: if they fall down, they loose position, etc etc. I want to bring something new to Nexuiz's duel life with this map and no-laser setup

If anyone is interested, I'm updating a forum thread on the italian nexuiz communitys website all the time about the changes and post screenshots about the map how its proceeding

Spooky progress:

I'm not quite sure whether I got this straight: you removed the laser as starting weapon for the players on this map? I hope you realize that this is pointless as I'll just do a mortar jump then

Of course I realized, it was quite trivial that people would do mortar jump instead of laserjumping then But first: mortar damages a little more on jumping and consumes the valuable rocket ammo, so its much less possbile to "jump-spam" the map around as you can do with laser, especially because there are quite few ammo boxes on the map. Second you don't have it as default weapon so you can use it much less even if you want to. The point is not the REMOVE laserjumping/jumping around the map, but to reduce its amount, to focus rather on path-selection tactical elements and from the test matches we are playing on it its working really well

wow really cool

Some progress was made one the map, added some details, and replaced the sky to add some warmer dusty-tones.

looking amazing, probably good enough for inclusion in the game.

Bridge-design is almost ready




Quad added to a very special place, so people can't time and camp on it in DM (needs air strafing ability to pick up from a ramp when not using mortarjump etc, very cool).

Texture mis-scaled on a patch in the electro room, bug known

Nexrun map "Caverun":

Damn splotches.

holy potatoes that new stormkeep looks ace!

However I think you should keep the weapon balance as it was before, or hope you moved the RL to where the electro used to be?

Gameplay on the map is good, so that's why I wish to keep weapons in same place, but map looks fantastic.

Project NewSkies

just couldnt miss posting the most important stuff in the creation of the map yet: of course the addition of the nexuiz logo!

looks good.

have you tried reflecting water that might look even better

This is a "corrupted" well, it has slime in it
But the main, holy well has reflective water shader

/nice/, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Awesome, good to see that work is being done on this gamemode.

Yeah, Onslaught is an amazing game mode, it just needs more supporting features.

These exploding generators will help alot, methinks. And the AI you've been working on for it could help ALOT.

Yeah i hope on-slaught will get more attention, its a nice game mode. Btw what the heck was that generator shot with? It reminds me of a combination of electro and nex.

nope

Yep, that's fixed now

Too bad, it was fun :p

That's awesome.

Yes, but what is it?

youll have to wait for the release of 2.5.2 to find out more

Nexball ai or something maybe? Or does that already exist? Or maybe its the funky particle effect trailing behind the bot?
