    okey dokey so... Version 7 is live!


    It's more or less ready for a playtest, just want to update the radar image to what I've listed here in the thread (the in-game one is an unedited dev version)


    *SMOKEBOMB*  WORKSHOP LINK


    All the updates are dropped into the OP

    jackophant: I'll probably request a 5vs5 with a more competitive setup, if that's possible.


    I'd love to have a 5v5 playtest as I'm hoping to make my map as competitively viable as possible. I'm just trying to arrange it externally at the moment.

    Since this corridor is used a lot and one of the main routes maybe it would be nice if it had a stable dressing with animal sounds etc instead of a "boring" industrial look. I guess it would support the setting of the map more in terms of theme.


    I think the way it's been styled makes sense. The areas out of the public eye are often very stark so this offers a nice transition rather than shoving more zoo in the users face.


    I do think that mid is a rather overpowered choke point. The long range hut is hard to see without a scoped weapon, and there's a large degree of height to check depending how far back the CTs are in the enclosure, coupled with a lot of RZL's rushes from the underground of the aquarium. *shakes fist angrily*


    However, I do find it sometimes hard to distinguish what would work in 5v5 and 10v10, and this may be one of those 10v10 OP CT situations.


    Fantastic looking map! Can't wait to see next update!

  • Reakktor Studios looking for a freelance "Level Designer [UE3/UE4]"

    I'm not really sure how this works as I have no affiliation with the company at all, just a lot of interest in their upcoming arena FPS "TOXIKK".


    I stumbled across this job while trying to find a release date for their closed beta, and while I would love to have a job like this, I am grossly inexperienced! I know a lot of guys here use the UDK, I've seen the fantastic work first-hand so I thought I'd share this with you all!


    The position is for a Level Designer initially available as freelance, with the option to go full-time on-site after 6 months (They appear to be based in Hanover, Germany).


    Anyway, here's the link! No point me copy pasting everything when you can see it first hand: http://reakktor.com/jobs/

    I'm about to push a new version of the map, does anyone have anything they think I should add/change/remove? Unfortunately from the two playtests I've had, not much has been said (positively or negatively) so I'm having a hard time knowing where to go!


    Radar will be working this time!

    Hiya, welcome back and it's nice to see someone trying a demolition map, it's a really underrated game mode!


    It looks like you might want to increase the light of your light_environment and maybe use a few more lights indoors! I would suggest light_spot to cast light at areas rather than the standard light which emits in all directions (which you may have placed a bit too close to the walls)


    Aside from the lighting, and a scale on the slightly large size, the setting looks nice for demolition! It looks a little too much like lake/safehouse atm, maybe make it a mini version of compound from source?! (but with bomb ofc) You'd definitely get my subscription to that map!

    Quote from cr0coDiL

    But... i feel some "details" need something more. Can you help me ? Thank you in advance for posts.


    It's interesting to see the overview of the map now having had significant detailing. Speaking of which I am really impressed with how it looks! I think the blue roof tiles clash a bit with the theme as well as the chunky walls around the park (in mid?) which look like the ones from Militia.


    Coltishall church does look very nice, my grandparents are from that part of the world so I am familiar with that architecture, but would it not be out of place in this environment? Would it be cheeky to suggest you should focus your detailing from one background rather than cherry picking ideas from different cultures and eras? It might help you with your feelings towards the details.


    As always, it looks very good. Keep it up!

    Now I need a little bit of help.

    A few windows (prop static) in my map have turned completely unlit and I've got no idea what the problem is. Here are some pictures:


    I also have a similar problem with two staircases in the map where the steps aren't lit at all.. Completely black. Any clue what it might be?


    Screenshot of the staircases? The underside of that roof is also completely black, and it looks like you've placed lights directly in front of the window props to try and light them?


    Did you do a fast compile by any chance?

    Is this bordering racism now?

  • -

    Not that it overly matters as my compile times aren't that long at the moment, but how fast is this compared to the default compiler?


    Regardless I think I have a duty to try this out!

  • De_tuscan beta discussion

    Quote from leplubodeslapin

    I can't believe that after 2 - 3 years of work you can release a beta with this kind of "bug". Also the textures are most of the time applied badly and quickly, he really should have accepted all the help people have proposed him...


    A million times yes. I don't know what his reasons were for keeping it locked down like he has, but it looks really dated. I'm also confused as to why he made it North African/Spanish, when the name already suggests another area of the world entirely.

    I don't want to sound bitchy but look at those boxes in this screenshot, I would expect something much more interesting and less flat. The short tree and excessive vegetation seems like a poor design choice as well.
