Description: This is a remake of my UT2004 map DM-1on1-DerelictFactory.
The style is reminiscent of the old 2k4 rusty atmosphere.

Ahh yeah, theres a few kismet things too :)

The red (locked) doorways set off an alarm giving away your position if you get too close.

There are also two traps set up on the pipe walkways.
By shooting the control box the pipe releases a build up of steam causing damage to anyone walking on them.

Theres one in the room with the double damage is by the barrels on the ramp.
Shoot the box with the green light to activate it,
once activated the light turns red and releases the steam build up.
It then changes to orange as the pressure returns.
Once the light turns green the trap is ready to be activated again.

The other is in the shockrifle room, im sure you will be able to find it ;]

just a suggestion from a newbie i would lower the lights (put it more towards the ground) that are near the ceiling (like in the last picture) they dont seem like they would emit that strong of lite on the ceiling in my opinion

Well, IMO the map looks fantastic. Nice & clean the way I like 'em.

I'll download tonight, and see how it actually plays :)

Hmmm I hadn't thought of angling those bar lights downwards.
Will prevent drawing your eye to the bare ceiling too.

Suggestion noted, thankyou.

When you add bot support this level is going to see alot more downloads ... it looks really good and the layout seems like it is very smooth and has good flow.

Suggestion noted, thankyou.do you mean angle the mesh? like instead of this | it will be like this \ i was just talking about the light actor just making sure im clear but however you interpreted it im sure is fine ;)

Bots cant figure out how to get the shield belt. Ive tried force paths and one direction paths but they just dont go there. The only option I really have is to add an easier way of jumping up from the link room. This would kind of ruin the whole point to the steam trap and wall pipes though.

So its either...
Not worry about it, bots arent that important.
Change it and make it easy for everyone.




Any thoughts on this guys?

[Freaky1]

It gets lonely on the server without bots waiting for someone to join and it isn't much fun if they are too bad. lol Hope you can figure it out,this map has a really smooth flow to it.

Jump onto the pipes, the doorframe, then the pipe along the wall.

The hatch by the barrel is an automatic door you can walk through into the vent.
