Well, here's a map that I had finished about a month ago, but never really got around to releasing. It's a test of what had been a relatively new technique of texture stretching. It also implements invisble polys, which some of you have seen used in the SAW maps.

Note: This map isn't for everyone. It's big and could lag on slower computers or in online matches. And since it's not yet waypointed, playing it offline is pointless as well.

Overview:

YAY! Big thanks to Glulm for fixing up the scenery conflict problem, and I added the missing thinrope scenery. It's still as laggy as before though, is there anyone who can run this at a decent framerate?

Enjoy!

@GluLm: this map's too 1337 to add anything to it, so hah. :-P Besides, almost always the only reason I edit a map is because it's either too plain or because the current spawn points / other features don't fit with the gameplay (since the creator never played it and thus couldn't experiment with what to add where).

WOW! This map looks pretty cool! Excellent!

btw, what does a machete have to do with the map? (machete = like a big knife used to cut grass in Spanish)

The overview is Art for real. However there are serious problems with scenery-gfx file names!
Please rename: waterfall.bmp and water.bmp to something different! Older sceneries already have these filenames.
Also you forgot to include thinropes.bmp.

Otherwise it looks... I don't know what to say. It's as cool as GloomyDawn by Anna.
Glad to see you finally achieved it at last. It's a true graphical slap. I love the splash.bmp scenery. :)

P.S: Keron, no need to justify yourself. It's ok I have nothing against you. ;)

Thx for the feedback:

@Raptor - A machete is stereotypically used by explorers in the jungle to cut through the wildlife. i thought is fit the jungle ruin theme.

@Gameover - Yes, simply rename the map to Machete (without the htf_ prefix) and it will be available in DM, PM, TDM, and RM modes.

@GluLm - I can't rename all the sceneries, because then I would also be forced to replace every single one. Comparing this to Anna's map is real compliment, thx. Oh, and thinropes file, I'll just add that to the topic.

I don't know what papasurf31 is doing but I sent him a fixed version with renamed sceneries. You can download it here.
Since he hasn't replied yet, I may remove the link upon his request.
For now I'm off. Bye.

I'm on it now. The only reason I neglected it before was because the initial, rough version wasn't completed; now it is. Monitor my sig. for % completion :-D
