de_static *RC VERSION DL* - updated 16/02

[JamesL]

EDIT: 16/02/07 (Post repeated at end of thread)

So here's the latest WIP version of the map. I wasn't sure if I wanted to release this version of it, since it's still needing a serious last layer of polish and fixing up. However I think the map needs a last round of feedback before I go for a final. (It was actually Hessi's harsh but fair post on dod_eidelweiss that persuaded me to release this).

Known issues:

Some texture alignment bugs.

Model collisions.

Some of the models need re-skinning (remaking possibly, I pretty much suck at modelling still).

Totally unoptimised - FPS is shite in places.

Nav mesh is rough and dirty with no place painting.

You can escape from the map in some places.

Some z-fighting where the tree shadow overlays hit displacements.

Soundscapes appear broken in this build.

Some of the overlays are a bit crap.

All comments and crits appreciated. I am pretty much set on the layout now, I just want to concentrate on making it look nicer and fixing bugs.

A map I started at Xmas.

Work on it has pretty much ground to a halt since I started my new job, so I thought I would post up as far as I got.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

There are some minor bugs in the map but performance is good throughout.

looks fine!

aah I love the HDR in it man, it looks really good and realistic. The only error I found was this handrail:

Id say too many tirestacks

looks sextacular james

[alexroyce]

Make the tree leaves green!

[General Vivi]

you could prob just put a bunch of overlays of orange leaves everywhere and make it an autumn theme . that would be nice since your map already looks autumn 'isk .

But then the grass should be brown/yellow if its fall.

[ginsengavenger]

that's quite nice, looks pretty solid. I'd like to give it a go.

no.

Looks quite sexual, but like stolve said there are too many tirestacks that seem like they were just thrown in as filler. Hawt~

[alexroyce]

no.

...grass is yellow in fall.

[Section_Ei8ht]

nice!

Looks superb. Reminds me of a map a guy called Unreal made once (forgot the name of the map :x )

spotlight stuff imho. Only thing botherin me a bit is the shadows are a bit too black in some shots. Hills in the background also a bit too dark:

no.

...grass is yellow in fall.

Seriously, the grass doesn't change color! There are yellow and brown leafs lying on it, there's brown mud and stuff, but no: grass doesn't turn yellow in fall... Grass changes color in summer though: light green to yellow.

ontopic:

I think the dark hill in the background rock! It adds to the athmosphere
