Comment: here we have a cool industrial looking map here, which is played more vertically than horizontally. It plays well, makes use of some rampjump ramps, and a new invention by Strahlemann: Boostpads, that is, jumppads that push you in a way you could just as well walk - simply so you get more speed. Maybe its layout is a bit too complex. With the visuals there are two problems... the many grates cause moirees while walking a bit, and... this industrial look, it's kinda dull. But if one really wants this look, it's one of the best things you can make of it.
Bugs: moirees on grates (maybe they should use blendfunc blend instead of alphafunc)

I have played some 2on2 matches and the gameplay is good. Somewhat confusing with all the
vertical action and teleporters thats hard learn.

Looks like a UT2004 map

Comment: really cool but odd looking map. Weird signs moving upwards are teleporters, and the whole thing looks... strange. But cool. And totally over the top... there's just too much of the strong colors, too much red, too much pink... anyway, this is a map people will remember. Now to gameplay... the layout of this map isn't too obvious, and teleporters are not easy to make out at first. The map is just kinda hard to understand at first. Also, it's too dark at some places, which does fit the visuals, but gets annoying while playing.
Bugs: none found

I *have not* tried it with others but it looks like 4/10. It looks too symmetrical

Looks awesome. Every weaponspawn and teleporter have cool animated signs. And the map is interestingly lit.

Comment: a cool looking remake of a map of Quake 1. Plays very well, many good jump combinations - very fluent gameplay. And nice lava traps to fall into Wink
Bugs: visually, I have to subtract points for the bad texture alignment and some zfighting issues. Also, detail brushes weren't used at all apparently, which caused a very bad and annoying rendering bug at '-586.5 +670.88 +12.28' which causes the whole screen getting black when looking in some directions. This is commonly caused by q3map2 creating portals that are too close to each other and cause roundoff errors, and the mapper should prevent this from happening by using detail brushes where appropriate. The author hasn't done this. Also, the map looks like it has suffered from scaling by some odd factor of 81/64. If this map gets completed, it would probably be worth scores of 8 each.

Note: I tested this map without any OpenGL extensions, because it crashes the nvidia driver on Linux, Quadro FX 540, for some reason. The bug is in the nvidia driver, not in DP and not in the map, so it didn't affect the scoring.

Nothing fancy, clean and simple brushwork

Comment: The time prism in the middle of the map consists of three stones, which - from the inside - teleport you to one of three eras - an ancient egyptian one, a middle age one and an industrial one. So basically, you have three small arena maps and you can teleport between them. It sure looks nice, although not very detailed.
Bugs: the egyptian sand sometimes inhibits jumping again to keep speed.

Not much to look at. Some medieval parts looks nice.

edit: I never spotted the teleporters on timeprism.
So I hereby change the scores to gameplay: 2/10 visuals: 3/10

Comment: A small DM map in blue irena style. Nothing really special in terms of gameplay, but a worthy map for deathmatch. The different doors provide interesting trickjump capabilities that may help you when chasing an enemy. Visually, however, I don't like the map that much - it looks quite dull, everywhere this blue (although this effect was in fact intended by cortez).
Bugs: There is a small graphics bug near '-43 -304 +315' at the door. Should be easy to fix. Also, the teleporter lets you face the wall after teleporting.
Bonus: You can play electro or grenade basketball here! There's enough hoops for that... and they all feature a Nexuiz sign on them! So it's blue, and amusing!

Very blue/white-ish. At my settings all walls looked completely white.

Comment: Here we have a totally atypical map. Many different levels above each other. One big jumppad in the middle, and many interesting side rooms. I doubt I have seen it all there. I just think it's over the top and actually harms gameplay to have so many hiding places... too bad the middle jumppad often hurts you.
Bugs: not enough light, really, the map is much too dark, which is the main reason for its poor gameplay mark. The stairs at the corners can't be seen at all. Apart from that the map is fine... just not really special looking. So although the map may not be good at this contest in its current state, I see much potential here. Relight it, maybe add some cool texturing or coloring, and it will get many fans.

Very interesting. It looks more like a modern piece of art than a map

• Strahlemann: well, the map is done and working well as is... and fits Nexuiz in style. Looks like a good candidate for permanent inclusion...
• tZork: as said, your map's visuals are over the top, but very cool... not exactly in Nexuiz's design, would probably need to ask Vermeulen and SavageX to include it permanently but I want it to be included too. Also because of its large download size...
• cortez: you know what to fix... can you make a fixed version soon? Thanks. I hope the coordinates I provided help you. Or alternatively, I can try to fix them myself. Would that be okay with you?
• ihsan: if you have any idea on how to improve your map, go ahead, otherwise I'd take it as is; but it would maybe be good to light up the "industrial" room a bit.
• FruitieX: light it up a bit, or actually more than just a bit... other than that, it's fine.

Edit: Am I the only one who thinks that performance on my map is horrible?

Actually, I would like to include them as extra PK3 files next to the data PK3s, not as part of the data pk3 file... at least at first.
