Looking good. I haven't played any of the betas, so interested to see how this plays.

[legacy-Kangus]

this maps' great fun.
A mnice fresh take on the tired Deck genre.

[legacy-Hampel]

played it online recently! great flow! very nice map! :heart::up:

[legacy-The_Getaway]

great ! played the betas, they had great flow, just a couple bugs, so hope the final plays as well ! gj man :up:

[legacy-3pyon]

finally, i can stop playing the ghey deck-17

[legacy-Super_Moose]

It's Deck, but it feels like a whole other map, and a great one at that.
I love it. :up:

[legacy-DimensionSeven]

:cool: :up:

[legacy-Duffman]

Beautiful Map!

[Bort]

Really good conversion, it's great :up:

[legacy-Yournan2000]

i'm gonna download it and try it.

did you add spotlights to your lighting actors?

did you change the teleporter emitters?

did you add a little mroe vegetation?

and last but not least did you use a water fluid sheet and not a normal BSP sheet?

thos were the main things, this is on my a.s.a.p download list.

i like this map a lot, i like the theme, i like the flow as well but the player quantity needed changing from the beta, have you done that as this map is quite large and could have done with a few more players at default.

MsM

[legacy-deth502]

This map ownz. Excellent job xblue_cn.

This map really does deserve ownage status :up:

- i changed the orange lights in the curved passages with spot lights, but i also add some normal lights to give ambient illumination
- i didn't change the teleporter emitters:p i personally like this one
and in the last days what i did mostly was to improve the gameplay, to tune the pickup positions
- yeah i add a little more foliage, but not too much, cuz i do not want to drop performance too much:P
- i did not use any fluid, the reason is still for performance! i made a test in my map, with a fluid in the main hall, the fluid itself costed about 2 ms(even when i set physics=low), if you type stat game, you can check that, that means fps drops about 5fps, that is too much for me.
5fps= thousands staticmesh polygons!!!
if the pool was not in the main hall, but in a small room with few detail, i can use fluid:p
- yeah i increase the player quantity, now it is 2-8, but imo the best quantity is 2on2:p


and, thanks you all:up:
i begin hard working on another map

[legacy-=Vector=]

wow, great job there

it feels almost like a completely different map, but still has a good ol' deck feel to it. that and it not only looks great, it plays great, and runs great :up:

[legacy-Teddie]

Holy crap this is a fantastic map.

xblue_cn, great job.

(Another custom map that will stay on my harddrive).

Anyway, great map xblue_cn, it's deck with a little twist! I love it :D

Thanks for the credit though, xblue_cn. :D:up:

[legacy-NulEnvoid]

Getting a slight prob with textures, the beta3 version never had this. Its showing because of my card... G4 MX440, but could you please use a fallback (if I'm right in assuming this).

http://urbanstomp.orcon.net.nz/pictures/problem.jpg

Nice map other then that though.

[legacy-xblue_cn]

:eek:
that looks like the mx440's problem
maybe you have to use 16bit color
very sorry for the bug
i used a glossy shader from official textures, on my ti4200, the texture looks ok
hi GOGETA_NL and Super_Moose, i remember you at least post affirmation informations, maybe not too much useful, but let me know whether what i doing is right, so i need to thank u;)

xblue_cn... You need to set fallback textures for your shaders. Just good practice to do so.

That's what he is seeing. His card can't handle the shader but since there is no fallback texture in the shader properties, he gets the default bubble texture.

orange lights, are they on the ceiling? spotligths are used for lights on the ceilings and also do shadows as well.

n/p about the teleporter emitters, they looked cool but they looked more like a custom pickup than a teleporter.

cool aobut the foliage, you just have to get the right amount i think a little more grass was needed.

having a pool in the main hall should have cost 5fps, you could have used cull distance on the pool as well, the fluid surface looks much better than a bsp sheet.

nice map through, i like it a lot but i'ii still be bumping up the player amount

nice map you damn quake 3 player....lol:haha:

Pfff...sry but...A remake of a remake of a remake of a remake.....Theres plenty things to do on earth and u done ...a remake ?.?.?.?...no...no...no...no...no...:cry:
Next year we'll get Dm-Deck2005 ( totally different ! )...2006--> Dm-Deck2006 ( some new stuff in ! Sure !! )...2007 --> ...?
..and when i'll be 75 y old i'll grab Dm-Deck2150v514.....:( ....

Look at ur description :

"Description: The map is based on the main layout of Deck16,but really different."

---> Is it the main layout of Deck16 or not ? If yes, it cant be really different, sry....or this map is not based on the main layout of Deck16 !? Right ? ...pffuuuuuuu....
:cry:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some guys try to make some news stuff and nobody takes care of their work ( by example D4ms with Dom-Rebirth )!!...and when somebody releases a remake i see 5 stars for the thread ! ...i am really crying...i dont really understand...i am very bored :cry: ...:eek:

hmm. I wouldn't really call this a remake, even though he says it's based on Deck16. I think it's very loosely based on Deck16 and the feeling of it is pretty unique.

Feels very different. I think it's really great.

Have you actually tried it?

[legacy-Macoll]

Yup i've just tried it....--->:cry: :cry: :cry: ....its all i can say but...its my opinion and no offense intended...

[legacy-Teddie]

Originally posted by Macoll

No problem. I just wanted to make sure you tried it. Because I thought you might feel differently after seeing the different flow, etc.

I took no offense. It's not my map. Just wanted to cover the bases.

I just really think it's a great map imo.

[Plumb_Drumb]

i love the textures and meshes, and lighting and all that.... and it runs smooth as buttah; however, i don't like the layout changes that were made.

[legacy-TehMackAttack]

nice job with the lighting

[legacy-raziel31]

hi oozabooman.

lol.

it's all good.

Nothing wrong with opinions.

I'm kind of sick of Deck-17 myself.

omg. yes. true.

[legacy-oozabooman]

Well I'm sick of my crappy maps and I only played them twice. Making them i more fun imo, especially if they look good :)

[legacy-]|M|[_-sigma-_]]

The screenshost look great. Love the opening above the main hall. I'll check it out.

[legacy-NeoPhoenix]

Should I download this, or are you going to make a newer version with fall back shaders? If your going to update it, I'll just wait on dl'ing it now. Looks good though :)

[legacy-Hampel]

it is good! one of the best deck 'remakes' out there! :heart:

[legacy-KaiSeun]

just played your map, very good remake and quite different from all other deck16 maps out there. The atmosphere feels great!

I am not sure how many people need a new version with the fall back shader
i just worry this will make some confusion to the public if i release a new one just as another final release:P
so if you do wanna it, i can make it for you, but i am not tend to release it to the public
what do u think about it?

and to others, thanks your support:up:
for me, this my last remake for any ut map, i still have 2 maps need to be finished, unfortunately, they r both remake, :sour:
they r q3dm17 and q3ztn3t1, i hope these 2 will be my last attempt of remake, i do feel sick of remake, but cuz i began these maps early last year, and i do wanna make every my work good enough, and i promised my friend to make ztn3t1 for him, so i have to go on~~~~~
:weird:

[legacy-CTFX1]

hey, get a download up on nali city and I'll add this to my ownage section on my webpage ;) - or do a rev to solve that problem mentioned earlier about the shadars.

Its not that its bad, its just boring.
Deck 16 is a better playable map imo and the remake that uses deck 17 for the groundwork is cool.

[legacy-CTFX1]

hmm, its not boring, its just overplayed. its a freaking awesome map. but even awesome maps get boring after playing it every day. I like both versions extremely so. teddabods, and moonflyer's.

Heya, just wondering if you ever did a version with fallback shaders in the end?

I want this map :)

[Private Tux]

I believe that this is eventually a remake or reboot of UT99's favorite, Deck16. My thoughts exactly that this is a spring scenario mixed with industrial themes, more microscopic than the tech from the original. And also, it has no slimes, no enhanced scaling, and some of the following different things I remembered: weapon/item placements, audio track, spots, routes and z-axis. In addition of birds chirping sounds, more corridors, pipes, steams, good atmosphere, details, trims, skybox, one fan, and only one jump pad. The gameplay is more better than the original and the bots are rarely decent. Good thing that there is no Jump Boots mutator and the Redeemer placement seems moved to the top of the middle area on behalf.

a little better than the original (I like the flow, layout changes, lighting, better gameplay and little extra green), but I never was and never will be a fan of deck maps. This is one of the better UT2004 upgrades of this map though.

Obviously, all the working links have been taken care of above.:)
