Amazing stuff, your geometry on the interior is so great, very simple and effective.

In complete contrast to the day I entered #mapcore looking for a decompiler....ouch did I get burned, despite my good intentions.

IRC... IRC never changes....

Welcome, nice map I especially like the first shot.

hold on tight to your optimism hats here comes the dissapointment train

please god

Nice James I like it a lot, but a bit bright and garish.

Agreed, subtlety is important indeed. Your displacement hills are not tiling very attractively either, custom content is a bit on the rough side but tons of potential for the scene. rock on

put a little japanese garden statue-ette in der

gears of warrrrrrr

I think it shouldn't be entirely open, thats all.

People whose work is already respected and appreciated should take precedence over people strolling in with regard to voting etc. I say that to protect kind of the integrity of the "spotlight status". Theres sooo many good maps being released and more people mappin all the time, gonna be alot of spotlights if stuff thats moderately impressive still gets spotlight and just one or two maps like me

so I think rather than being a badge of merit for a work or two it should be more about being nominated by your peers for being super helpful like hessi etc

my dumb opinion

Quote from Meotwister

well that's kinda why this is here right? so awesome work like hessi's doesn't go without merit. Anyone who has the work thats spotlight quality would in theory get noticed.

ah ok well im in favor of w/e gets hessi spotlight direct or indirect XD

Holy macaroni that is looking superb FMPONE!!I Hope all these props and cables are physicalized

yus, as for the hole the model is just old (from evert's time :wink: ) and I'd like to replace it entirely eventually. I'll tweak the lighting as well for some blue and work on the spotlights.

Hmm, technically I think you've really accomplished something. Artistically though I think it is too similiar to stock HL2 or CS brick city maps that are so common nowadays.

The one big recommendation I would give is to make your lighting much more vivid, because of the bland skybox light the buildings appear flat and boring. Currently you're drifting between too light and too dark, and there is no interesting mid level lighting going on like streetlights or sprites and no interesting daylight elements. I hate to be cliched and just recommend going fully night for a zombie mod, but there is a reason certain trends are developed and thats because happy mediums don't look anywhere near as good.

Also I would get some custom content in to make the map more identifiable.

Just a reminder guys, you have to download: http://www.leveldesign.com.br/minotauro ... ontest.wad to get the maps working If that could be edited into the OP as well :wink:

Looking forward to checking out all the entries!

I think we've got a few more down the pike, Slim Z Kabelen and others ~

Quote from Defrag

flashback looks tremendous. I love your style, erratic! However, it says "failed to open mapcore.wad" when I run the map. Was this a standardised .wad used for the contest? If so, it'd be a good idea to include it with the map DLs so that random internet people can grab the maps without issue.Great work everyone.

The exact same happens to me, but with dm_hookup. Flashback loads just fine for me

At the end of the day they asked if there were friendlies around and the answer was given clearly no, the blame lies with the people responsible for providing them with adequate intel. Its pretty terribly simple then, certainly no fault of the pilots.

I think the hardest part of watching the video this morning was hearing the guy said "I think I'm going to be sick" when they told him it was friendlies, as easy as it is to throw around blame I can't help but sympathize as this will probably plague him for the rest of his life
