The Description

Yeah, here's another CTF map. It started off as a try at texture-streching a while ago, but I just recently developed it into a full map. I think it would be great for RS and regular games, and maybe 4-6 players. No custom sceneries.

Smoothing...Check
Scenery...............Check
Polygon Placement......Check
Shading....Good but could use some improvement. Try not to just use the same shade...if there is a platform above, make the platform below darker. Otherwise its good.
Gameplay....Might have too many routes, I'm not sure because I dont have soldat anymore. I suggest if its pretty large sized map to make it small..perhaps smaller than voland.

I can't see the overview/whatever pic you posted on the topic.

Your attempts to make some scenery cast shadows look awkward, but I like the layout.

People, do not be fooled by the pictures that this is waypointed; it's actually not.

Headstone, the link you gave is wrong. The correct one is this one:
http://m00.laughingllamas.com/fileupload/index.php?act=dl&file=Y3RmX2p1bmdsZXBpdC5QTVM=
m00's uploading tool, although handy, gets confusing when it comes to get the right link :P

I'll try this one out and get back to you.

You could make your own scenery..

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. And right now, I think it's about the size of voland, it's not very big.

And Outoforder, I fixed the link, thanks.

Well.. looks pretty nice. Too shiny, like if the whole map was covered by grass (I like it!) The bgcolor seems pretty dark though. Anyways, nice job!

Thanks, but I don't really understand what you mean by shiny.

You know when you go to a field with short grass, the sun rays make them look shiny.

Ok... so I should darken the polies?

change texture to a little less smoother one that suits a jungla, darken and pick another background.

No, the polys are completely allright =) The only thing is that the texture looks very smooth. Anyways, I tried to say that I like that effect!

It doesnt have too many routes, its perfect, take away a route and you might as well go play b2b.

thats y i dont like b2b, it has 2 routes, but it has a very open field, so thats why I like b2b

I'd like to see this map hosted somewhere... gameplay promises a lot. Too bad bots don't get to be a nice test after all.

Yeah, thanks gameover. I thought low, mid, high is a fine setup.

Uh, what? Do you like it or not? :p

Thanks, and I've been thinking, I might just bite the bullet and waypoint this thing.

Ok, I waypointed it (roughly) and made a few corrections.

Yea, rainrider DOES make his own scenery. I personally think the stretched jungletrees could be something better. And what's with all the surface ground being red? :-P In favor of Alpha or something?...

I don't understand... Sure rainrider makes his own scenery. What does that have to do with my map?
