[Iceberg]

Hello everyone, I present a map that started recently, so far the project is titled De_bunker but is temporary, the map is still in development, I hope the comments, suggestions and enjoy playing it, thank you and good luck to all

I like the idea, but considering the closed theme, it's still very open. I think your mid could cause some game play problems being quite open and multilevelled.

Again, a lot of these new map need to simplify their routes, and I'm afraid, this is no exception!

Good luck

New update available with radar system, in this new update I have introduced changes in the area of mid to enhance gameplay and create a passageway "fast" between the two area bomb, too, and started to add some textures, with these changes I hope that at least the base map has a good balance and is better than the previous version, all comments are always appreciated.

​Thanks for your comment, I'm working on it, my intention is to create a simple map but with great gameplay

The bunker I visited wouldn't make a great map, it was lazy and veryyy creepy!

However, there were some rooms bigger than other and could be sites in a map!

To express it shortly it was a bunker in Lithuania designed to host soviet dignitaries. So there was obviously a big board room with a statue of Lenin, but more interesting was the canteen, could have made a nice bombsite, four entries, the possibility to create cover.

Another room, which could be inspiring, is the map room, it was a bit like a command center, with designated spaces which would provide some cover, and the walls covered with maps were a bit awesome, and could be very original !

There were also some distinctive details, lamps, vents and so on...

Finally, it could be an idea for your spawns, it was located under an hospital!

Thanks for your ideas, I will launch several changes with them and see that such are within the stage itself, in the same way, if you need any help from me do not hesitate to ask me.

Thanks that's kind of you to propose. But do not feel obligated to make any changes, it was just suggestions (I'm glad you liked them though )

Thanks in advance to all those who today tried the map all your comments will consider the new update to the map

Hi guys, I'm finishing a new map update with some changes put in place after the playtest, here you have some screenshots, I hope you like it

 

map update 14/07

[Iceberg]

now available the new update

[jackophant]

@Iceberg I don't know what feedback has been provided to you yet, but we were unable to test the map last night - After numerous client crashes and an eventual server crash we wrote the map off as broken.

What I did notice before we switched over was that there were a lot of black textures again. You also need to extend your areaportals on your doorways with glass each side. While that might be a "legal" area_portal, the clipping effect was visible through the glass. I can't say with any certainty, but I think the crashing problems were linked to bombsite B (or whichever bombsite had the servers in it and has the long ramp tunnel leading up to it).

You also need to be careful with how you name your bombsites, the first bomb_trigger you place is always bombsite A. You radar and map directions do not match each other so when I see that I presume the signs are right and not the radar.

You need to learn to pack your files into the BSP or learn how to let the workshop do it for you. You aren't packing your radar files (RZL only asks for bsp, nav and kv) which would suggest to me you don't know how to pack the files which is also why we are seeing black textures as you are using something custom that none of us have, so our games simply can't show us what's meant to be there.

Just a sidenote, the radar files were packed the last two times. I didn't download them from the drive. @Iceberg No need to share the radar files separately. About custom textures, most of the textures were packed the second playtest but you might have missed some in the middle of the map, there were some black areas. That being said, I'd suggest to go back to greyboxing most of the map as it looks to be too early to bother about texturing the areas correctly.
