started on a new map woo

[fKd]

screens of early alpha q3 ctf map... still gotta block out the central arena.. but got the base flow down.. i think


flag room


outside flag room


these 3 are the room which connects to the center

[fKd]

oh and textures and lighting are just placeholders

[DooMer]

Looking solid

[a13n]

Looks pretty neat and clean, hence promising.

[fKd]

here is a early beta... bots wont cap yet... need to work on bot pathing etc... any good toots on it?

oh and the side path has no items and no brush work... beta blocks ahoy!

its also fast vis and lighting and optimized aas (sorry about crap r_speeds etc )

[MKJ]

got a bit of a halo look to it.

Congratulations, you just made me fire up radiant for the first time in about a year. Anything that's simplistic and concrete is a winner for me.
Don't forget to colormark stuff like jumppads with red/blue.
Regarding bots, head on over to the powder room and take a whiff.

EDIT: Err, I didn't notice that you'd uploaded a version. I need some sleep.

I think it looks fantastic. Early texture work aisde I thin kthe geo and height of it look awesome. Great job, I'll keep checking back for this one.

[fKd]

thank you so much. i've still got to get item placement and flow worked out... then brush work (detail & textures), r_speeds and vis and all the rest. i hope someone out there enjoys playing it as much as i've enjoyed making it

[fKd]

updated build. any help with item placement or changes to layout would be really helpful

thank you

side note, there is no bot or player clip yet as im still working on the layout and detail... those brushes get in my way

[fKd]

these crazy bots have a strange behavior... they can do the jump... but 60% of the time they do this... any tricks to cleaning this issue up?

[fKd]

another update... pow

I suspect they're going for the health. What happens if you (temporarily) remove the orbs?

[fKd]

its so weird.... i removed the health on 1 side and the bots act right. so i do the same thing on the other side, and they keep on doing the jump fall loop. this is driving me crazy! both bases are the same, yet only the blue base has the error

[Silicone_Milk]

Try slapping one of those bot do not enter brushes where they fall down to discourage them from going there.

[fKd]

tried it to no avail. but i've edited the platforms around the jump pads and got it down to a 40% chance of bot fail... think it might just be something to do with q3 bots being spaz the gameplay is really starting to shape up tho. woo.

did a mass detail brush coverting and got my vis way down from 1400000 to 450000 so thats something.. now i gotta start on brush optimization... not the most fun ever but what are ya gonna do...
