I wouldn't worry too much about looking like dm_drift, no offense to Dux of course but its been an established map style for ages. Of course the lighting etc you may want to tweak not to give anyone the wrong idea, but on the whole the map looks very promising

One final thing I would recommend is getting a theme going (sorry if this sounds patronizing or stupid) but if I were you I would work on adding something interesting (rain, fog, snow, technology, color, you name it) to set the map apart and give it a unique twist.

depth in your walls mate

Ah yes this is an excellent point.

Looking like a nice start citric

Yeah, Eurogamer is one of the larger gaming sites out there and is wholly well-respected; I'm not sure what you were getting at by highlighting the 'euro' in the title. You're not a prejudiced American scumbag are you???

No, not at all. The news made my day.

Its just that Stalker is notable for being one of the two big name european developed games coming down the pike (Crysis being the other) and I don't know alot about the site so I'm not ready to entirely discount bias. Apparently as you say they're well respected, in all honesty, I really hope you're 100% right and its as good as they say :3

An FPS based around exploring the Chernobyl region... fuck yes this game could be the greatest thing ever

oh thank god

but eurogamer, I guess time will tell..

Quote from Drevlin

Also, should i be talking to someone about this whole spotlight thing? or does it come automaticly?

Plz inform the mapcorenoob how things work, thanks

Not to say I don't think you deserve it, but its probably best not to worry about it. Its something other people may mention but so far as I know its kind of a decision by a few people judging popular opinion and is decided totally without your involvement (other than making the map ) It just kind of comes as consensus. In other words, we'll wait and see

Now as for the map itself...I have put it in the mapsfolder but I hosting my own game only gives me standard RO maps as options, how can I start up a server and run around in this beauty? Should include that stuff for an RO customs newb in the readme

Looks good! Going to have be status quo and recommend you change the main walls, while the detail they provide is helpful the actual shape is awkward and really unpleasant to look at. I would say that while the original molded to the hill form but was only passable because of the sparse details. If you were to re-do the walls it should probably feel more concrete-pour and plain vertical to match your very linear displacements either that or do the exact opposite and dramatize the shape but in a way that makes more sense than the walls you have now.

Great to see your post on mapcore! Welcome As I've said to you before, I love your level, there are tons of little creative touches (love your displacement-based map :wink:)

Overall though I think you might want to play with the map for some more atmosphere, while it isn't bad it doesn't do the map justice.

That is unbelievable work.

I really love what you did with it, the industrial metal patchwork idea is just well executed and the map itself is just over the top enough to really impress but you still really sold the environment.

I can't read 8 pages of technojargon, but can anyone explain to me why the 360 isn't this thin to begin with if these guys can get everything ~2.8 inches and aren't getting paid to do it?

Ease of assembly?

Haha what in the hell hessi

I was implying that he should incroporate it rather than having it be just useless geometry.

The irony is seriously too much for me to take

BlisTer: the last screenshot is the one with the solid colors. Checked it out in-game, seems like an unskinned model or WIP model, my bad if thats the case. If not... have someone skin it ;p

This is easilly my most anticipated movie of 2007.

Awesome music, visuals, huge sense of style... they will have to try hard to fuck this up

If you look at the HUDs you don't see any sharp filtering, they just lack AA.

Unless we're looking at the same thing and thats the joke

Some of the most over the top architecture I've yet seen from this mod, really inventive. I like the red section, but the blue lighting seems really grating and weak, I'd make it a bit more neutral and less contrasty

The only other weakness is that the texturing is a bit repetetive and there are some solid color sections that bring the areas down.

Quote from Minotauro

I really like it, reminds me a lot of dux's map though.

Yeah this def reminded me of dm_drift. In a good way :wink:

Like the texturing, but the lighting needs more style, if you're going for outlandish architecture the lighting should probably follow suit just to help highlight the extreme variations.
