de_investment - Update 2 (September, 7th)

Well, I am an active member now. After creating a hotmail account, I managed to recieve the validation email. Yay.

Thanks Hollow for posting this here.

The publishing to the Workshop finally worked today. Everything else has been presented pretty well by Hollow. Enjoy. Any C&C and hate and love and comment welcome.

Looks good but in my opinion, those colours are way too saturated and garish. I personally would tone that down slightly. Nice work though

Looks pretty good, but regarding "Mirror's Edge inspired" - a lot of the assets looks like they're actual ME stock content?

Ah read the part after the images, good job re-creating content then

Very ME style, congrats.

The thing that attracts attention is the vent duct that doesn't fit in the environment.

Maybe the green rooms have too much of a green (bounce) light?

Impressive, gg!

Looks cool! A bit too saturated and dark in some places tho

EDIT: the problem should be fixed. I updated the file again, it increased in file size. Seems the Map Publisher just messed it up before. Should work now.

Thanks for the feedback. There seems to be a problem. The custom files (NAV, radar overview) seem to be missing. I did NOT pack them into the BSP with Pakrat, but just had them in the maps (resp. resource) folders when I published it, because the documentation requires them to be in there. I don't know why it didn't work, but it is a serious issue, since the map tries to build a NAV all the time now for people and the radar is important too, obviously. Can anyone help?

Reminds me of walking in an IKEA store

I love this! Welcome to the Core Would you mind if I added this to our Steam Workshop collection? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=145309288 Trying to highlight all the badassery posted here.

I think so too. I'd also brighten the rooms more so it has more white. Less grey more white I say.

KungFuSquirrel: Yes, certainly!!

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to find a nice balance between saturated colours and the bright look.

Love. it.

Note: The old thread was created by Hollow, so I can't edit it. If possible, please merge the threads or something.

Anyway, my map has recieved Content Update #2 today. As I already stated, I need time to replace all placeholders, and I am working through the list. One of the biggest points were the stairs, so I decided to work on them first. I hope you like the result:

awesome, totally digging the style and lightning except for screen 6.

Why are the 100% white windows not giving off any light?

Tschoppo: I didn't do much on the lighting yet. They aren't windows either, but light panels. The lighting will be adjusted later.

Also, if anyone notices while playing: the spec maps on the world textures don't seem to work. I am aware of the issue and know why it happens. I am currently recompiling the map and will release another hotfix in a few hours.

Anything black in your map is almost 100% black.

I feel this is what is mostly holding you back from acheiving some great scenes in this map.

Merged per your request.

I agree!

It's improved, but tune the black a little down. 100% black is ugly (not being racist) and it would make difficult to see enemies hiding in those spots.
