You might want to pull this, so you can rename it, quick. There's already a map out by the name of DM-Chimera, and this could definately cause mismatch issues.

Go here, then to Levels -> UT2003 -> DM-Chimera. (http://www.warbeast.de/)

looks cool though...reminds me of far cry

[virax]

Yes, it looks to be a very nice map, hellfire. In my post about the name, I totally neglected to express my opinion of the map, and judging by the screenshots, it looks to be well executed in theme. I'll try to check it out soon.. :)

[legacy-hellfirexq]

Thanks for the heads up Virax, I shouldn't have missed that. Now I just have to come up with an original name...

Thanks pointless, although the original Chimera looks cooler hehehe.

Any name ideas? I'm thinking here. I prefer abstract over things like 'deathbeach' or what not.

[legacy-Barcabender]

Reminds me of Far Cry aswell..

[legacy-hellfirexq]

Alright, all is well now. Download DM-Incalescence if you have the old Chimera version. Thanks again Virax.

Sorry to go off topic a bit but WHERE CAN WE GET THAT DM-Chimera map for UT2004?? Looks amazing from that one shot! :)

[Bort]

It's still a map for UT2003 made by Warbeast, he need to port this map for UT2004

[legacy-hellfirexq]

You can play any UT2003 map in UT2004 I believe.

[legacy-EazyCheeze]

Incalescence is good. What's it mean? :)

[legacy-hellfirexq]

Growing hotter. Things are heating up. I thought it fit. It's actually a better name then the first one, though it reminds me too much of 'Evanescence' which is a big con.

[legacy-hellfirexq]

DX did you get around to playing it? Any thoughts?

[virax]

I like the new name!

Btw, I'll save you the hassle of emailing me about it, and just post the news on PU now. ;)

[legacy-hellfirexq]

Bah, too late hehe. Thanks Virax. I gotta say, I love the job your doing at PU, I applied as well to cover news, but you beat me to it. You do an awesome job.

[legacy-SpaceGoat]

Downloading now.. post comments soon!!

looks like the island in James Bond - The man with the golden gun.

make it more like that. Scaramanga totaly rocks

i found these just off the cuff.
talk sound files from the film

http://www.moviesounds.com/goldgun.html

some music here.

a sound pack, some music and a little moddeling and you would have a great theme map.
that would make it special, instead of just a terrain map like hundreds of other terrain maps.

[legacy-hellfirexq]

Well I wasn't going for a James Bond theme and I don't plan to. :)

[legacy-SapphireShades]

I really like the rural feel of it, and 1on1 rubs me the right way, but the framerates outside are awful. I dropped down to 40 in several areas.

[legacy-hellfirexq]

Since when is a frame rate of 40 awful? But anyway, it's due to the wavy water, which I had to already reduce in quality for people in lower end machines to handle it. Large fluidsurfaceinfo's really bog down a lower end machine for some reason, even though on a high end machine it will be the last thing that bogs down the machine it seems. The only way I could improve the frame rate outside would be to remove waves all together, and I didn't feel that was worth it for the slight speed boost.

[legacy-DeadManWalking]

Looks nice hellfirexq, just replace those ugly ass trees. :)

[legacy-hellfirexq]

I thought the trees suited the purpose well. I would have made my own, but my static mesh skills still aren't sharp enough to improve on those existing trees.

[legacy-StiGMaT]

sweet lookin map i will try tonight :) good WOKk
5/5

[legacy-hellfirexq]

thanks :up:

[Xyx]

Gameplay and concept are cool, but it looks a bit... bland. The water's like glass, there's rather hard lines between sand-grass and grass-rock, there's no variety in textures and it generally low on detail (plants, rocks, whatever).

[legacy-hellfirexq]

Yeah I hear ya. I wanted to go with a simple look, that was more my intention, just to make it look natural. I didn't even want the ruin pathway added but I realized I needed to make some more interesting combat situations by adding some z-axis combat. The water's detail was lowered because it affected lower end machines performance quite greatly.

[legacy-CBA`ken]

Gameplay and so on is nice, but you could have given more detail for the players with a bigger pc :)

[legacy-F3nyx]

Nice map. The outdoor areas are excellent, I love the look of the grassy hills and the paths... the sand looks great too, and I like how you can fall into the water and swim back to the beach. Keeper :up:

Hahahah yeah, I could have, actually I did have more detail with the water before release, but after people were telling me CTF-Volatile][ ran slower on lower end machines, I had to cut the wave detail. I'm sad, but now everyone can enjoy it. I can't please everybody :)

wide-open terrain with caves, good AVA and theme, decent gameplay with tough bots; I like the grass, rocks, trees (they’re fine), but the water and skybox need work.
