That's it, thanks

[legacy-w.r.e.c.k.s.]

Yeah... a few static meshes and the skybox are the same as scorched earth... Its a combo of original architecture and included static meshes....

[legacy-Grendel187]

It looks good man. I really look forward to ALL of your maps.
Let me say it like this..... you, you got skills B.:D

[legacy-Killroy X]

Definately an eye catcher! This one has got atmosphere out the @ss! Lookin forward to this one.

I sure wish I could be a map maker....:(

[legacy-[-StRyKeR-]]

Nice... I look skyward and almost expect a Dragon to swoop down and fry my @ss (as in Reign of Fire).

Kewl!

Looks dark in the pics but I hope ingame it bright enough to see where everything is etc.

[legacy-PRiMeEViL.SiN]

Change the skybox so it doesn't look like a clone of scorched earth

But it looks good

[legacy-Iceburgs]

The tone is great! I can't wait to see the map!

[legacy-Parantapa]

Great looking map :up:

I have one suggestion to make though -

First of all, the rest of this post is based on the assumption that the map consists of some kind of an elevated structure over lava.

If so, then please do not make this into a BR map because it would become very easy to keep reseting the ball by simply launching it off the edge. This interrupts the flow of the game and IMO that is irritating. All it would take to ruin a game is a bunch of llamas who keep reseting the ball everytime they lay their hands on it. Try making it into a CTF or DD map and see how it plays.

Keep up the good work.

[legacy-CruSiS]

cant wait to see the map when it's finished, keep this work up :up:

[legacy-Loosecontroll5]

Good stuff again!.

You will end up being 1 of the Great mappers if u carry on like this.
have u tried usng different skyboxes though, as maybe another one could look better.

Your website is cool aswell and added to my faves.

:cool:

[legacy-ReBoRnNiNjA]

OMG dude! Thats great! Can't wait to download it!:up:

[legacy-Prom3theus]

o man looking great can't wait to download it woohoo :D :up:

[legacy-me again]

For those of you that don't know him...w.r.ee.c.k.s. was one of he elite mappers for Red Faction. "B does have skills". I am sure all of his maps will rock.

Keep it up w.r.e.c.k.s.

[legacy-w.r.e.c.k.s.]

The skybox just seems to fit perfectly with the mood I'm trying to create, but I am and will contiunue to toy around with some new graphics.... who knows.....

[legacy-MannyFresh027]

why doesnt anybody give me this kinda feedback on my map?

maybe my map isnt as good as this one. nah.

but if you want to criticize mine, check my sig

[legacy-SPANKIN']

this map looks the bollox!!!!!



keep up the good work mate!

Keep up the good work.

could always put a fence around it to stop that in most places...

[legacy-Green Lining]

That sky certainly looks real. I guess that's all you can ask for. It's definaltley not UNLIT like alot of the skyboxes in the game.

[legacy-Green Lining]

I looked at your Website. Really cool.
I had an idea for a map called Golgotha too.

My current map is starting to look like myst online. I guess that's good. Probably even looks better then that engine.

[legacy-Teddie]

This looks absolutely kick a$$ to me.

I'd keep the skybox that you're using. Like you said, it fits the mood of what you're doing...

Beautiful.

[legacy-Teddie]

wrecks, by the way, have you tested your map in multiplayer?

Let me know if your skybox works in multiplayer on the client side.

A lot of people are having a problem with this (me included). Just thought I'd shoot it your way.

[legacy-Parantapa]

could always put a fence around it to stop that in most places...
But that would ruin the looks of the map which would be a pity as this one looks darn good from the screenshots.

[legacy-Mythril - B2F]

DAMN FINE looking map there. Can't wait for that one :)

[legacy-Verizondude]

Stop read the board and finish the map.;)

[legacy-w.r.e.c.k.s.]

I'm currently in the path builing and optimization process... I'm also tweaking a bit of architecture here and there. I should have it [hopefully] done by next weekend. Here's a couple more shots :cool: :D :cool: :

[legacy-Mythril - B2F]

[legacy-BionicBeast_]

wow. that would be a huge resource hog! a good looking resource hog.

[legacy-ViciousLoad]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOw,maps are looking mad crazy these days........sry i gave my feedback in late but this map look excellent.......

[legacy--=WhiteWulf=-]

Looks like the skybox was copied from BR-Legacy and the color/hue was changed :weird:

[Plumb_Drumb]

Excellent use of fog and skybox. They mesh so well together.
I wish more people could do that properly (I know it's hard with some skyboxes, though).

It looks great!

[legacy-^»{@mBRo$e}«^]

The style looks awesome.. What main ambient sound do you use for it? Hope it's a scary one :D

Really nice job on the atmoshphere, looks really good from the latest screens

No I disagree...the skybox is fine and fits the style....Maybe some moving clouds though would do the trick!

Nice map Like the theme a lot, keep up the good work :up: :up: :up:


[InfernoO]

Where and What am I? :bulb:

[legacy-jlove]

I also like the skybox. Leave it like that or like was already said, add some moving clouds. But it looks great the way it is.

Keep up the good work.

[legacy-Mythril - B2F]

I'm holding a LAN event next Friday for 3 days. I want to know if this map will be available before then?

[legacy-Quige]

Nice to see someone doing a map using that architectural style rather than the Hi-Tech or Eygptian ... looking very good. Awaiting the download. :up:

[legacy-Parantapa]

Wrecks,

Could you describe the layout of this map please?

[legacy-Mythril - B2F]

Is it any closer to being completed ???

How bout you just give the man a chance. He said he was busy, so let him get around to it in his own time. :o

[legacy-Mythril - B2F]

Was only a question...

[legacy-LvlMaster2]

Eh Id like the post my 2 cents ;) I think the map looks great, and the skybox fits...One thing I dont seem to understand is why some people post about a skybox being used in another map done by Epic/DE...OF COURSE IT IS. We use their meshes and textures...the skybox is a texture...So....Yeah, Of course the skybox is from another map. Many of us level designers aren't skilled in the arts of texturing.

But anyways, wrecks, keep up the good work, Ill be watching out for this map just like everyone else. :D

[legacy-KaiRaene]

This looks like it will be an awesome map. Cant wait to play the BR version. :) Good job dude. :D

[legacy-Tweak-fragger]

pretty nice looking map bro. gl with finishing it:up:

[legacy-Killroy X]

b-b-b-bump

[legacy-Railgunner]

hurry up and finish dat map! :up:

[legacy-dreamstation]

wrecks has been extremely busy lately, and will complete the map when he has the spare time. wrecks is a very busy person you know

[legacy-Mythril - B2F]

All good things come to those who wait...

wow
beautiful looking screen shots!
can't wait to play this map

[legacy-Hacku]

map status?

[Emmet Otter]

Damn, this was made in november and stilll no map!

[legacy-Loosecontroll6]

Dont Expect this or any other maps from Wrecks!
This is what he had to say on his site.

"Sorry there have been no updates for a while. I've been extremely busy getting my design business off the ground. I'm not sure if I'm going to get any time to work on UT2003 maps. UnrealED is very complex and time consuming if you want to do anything worthwhile. I'll probably be doing RF2 maps when it is released since I know the RED so well - unless they've made drastic changes to it.

Anyway, if you or anyone you know needs custom web/multimedia/design work, Send 'em on over to this site or my design site : www.3rdillusion.com"

oh well.

[Emmet Otter]

Damn!!!! That sucks! I wished he would just complete this map. At least finish what you post. Bummer:(

[legacy-Mythril - B2F]

:( Goes off crying...

[legacy-Loosecontroll6]

Agreed.

[legacy-Radeon285]

SOB, it was looking awsome too, he could at least give it to someone that can finish it........

[legacy-LowGravUT]

No kidding... give it to me, I'll finish it off.

[legacy-Killroy X]

This...is a sad day in the UT community. Sad indeed.:(

[legacy-Mythril - B2F]

I think all the good mappers out there should try to rally together and finish off this great looking map. It would be a shame to waste it. What ya think ?!?

[legacy-LowGravUT]

I think that's a great idea... now all we need is the .ut2 file ;)

[virax]

*Cries*

[legacy-dreamstation]

I have wrecks on my msn, so I will see if he can send it to me, and then i will contact teddie or someone else and see if they have the time to complete it, ONLY if wrecks agrees with it.

[legacy-dreamstation]

Ok guys, I just talked to wrecks on msn, and he said that he will try and finish it up in February sometime, but please dont hold him to this as he is extremely busy. Lets hope everything turns out and we get it late February, Early March! :):up:

PS - wrecks said he might reply to this thread later if he gets time

[legacy-w.r.e.c.k.s.]

Well... this generated alot more interest than I expected. Okay. The plan is to finish this one up in February...

No, really! This time I mean it :D :D :D :D

The main problem i've had to tackle is pathing the thing correctly. Pretty time consuming. If anyone wants... I'll post a few screens next week showing the progress.....

[legacy-NeoPhoenix]

Umm... What ever happened with this map?

[legacy-MikeSobe]

Looks, great, first time seeing the map. W.R.E.C.K.S = GOD for REDFACTION, he made the game 400% better. They sould have hired you for RED 2 maps. I was dissapointed when I saw you sad no more UT2003 maps cause you know RED better. Come on UnrealED has much more possibilities than RED's. Whatever but please finish this. W.R.E.C.K.S you have some major mapping skills, do not let them go to waste. (by not finishing maps):p

[Grim]

Yeah, I want this map !!! :) :)

Come on now m8.

[legacy-Sp3ct3R]

KICK @SS !!!
it`s March, and you said that map will be ready in February ;] tell me WHEN?? i can`t w8 :)

[legacy-KaiRaene]

A fine wine needs time to age you know. This map should be pretty tasty. :)

Indeed
