[MAP:CTF/BR]FallenMoon[Feedback/UpdatedShots]

legacy-LvlMaster · 10-28-2002, 09:32 AM

Hello again, last time I posted shots of my map it was in the editing forum before this area even opened. I haven't had much time to work on the map for the past week or so due to my RL job (nasty) taking up all my free time. But anyways, no more babble. I'm really pleased with the way the map is turning out, Ive been spending a lot of time collaberating with an artist friend of mine on this one, since artists tend to know what looks ugly and what doesn't

Im taking each area slowly, making sure that they have as much atmosphere as possible. Even the new song that will be included with the release adds atmosphere. Blah blah blah get to the shots already, yeah yeah here they are, Let me know what you all think

**legacy-STELTH** · 10-28-2002, 09:41 AM

I see specs on your shots, is that ash from the volcano? If so that's an amazing touch. Definately will add atmosphere.

Also, that volcano looks mighty mean in the background. It looks like it's off in the distance through the skybox. Very nice, indeed.

Definately want to see more shots when the map progresses.

Here's some emoticon responses:

yeah looks cool until now, I am looking forward and hope you will have soon a playable beta for the map, and be sure to post more screenshots of the map.

It's really difficult to rate a map with screenshots. The skybox remembers me a map, ScorchedEarth I think its called, but nevermind

, keep up the good work!

**legacy-Prom3theus** · 10-28-2002, 09:55 AM

holy **** looks niceeeeeeeeee!!! i hope it plays nice

legacy-Loosecontroll5 · 10-28-2002, 10:00 AM

WOW!.

Finally a map to look forward to....(there are a few others).
This looks Really good, especially that little area with the weird tree and HUGE flytrap thing.

Have a realese date in mind.

legacy-LvlMaster · 10-28-2002, 10:03 AM

I wish I had a release date...But with the new schedule I worked out, it will give me time to work on the map everyday, which is better than once a week

I don't wanna get anyones hopes up but id say maybe 2-3 weeks.

legacy-Wulfieboy_2001 · 10-28-2002, 10:32 AM

Wow is all I can say...
:up: :up: :up:

This map will I keep my eyes on....Good Work...

Very nice, very atmospheric.
But is that volcano the static mesh from ctf-magma?

legacy-Parantapa · 10-28-2002, 11:01 AM

Extremely nice looking map :up:.

Please post some more screenshots that show a general layout of the entire map.

**legacy-Helios** · 10-28-2002, 01:43 PM

**legacy-/\psalus** · 10-28-2002, 02:21 PM

**legacy-Iceburgs** · 10-28-2002, 07:25 PM

legacy-LvlMaster · 10-28-2002, 08:56 PM

ETA for beta will probably be 2-3 weeks, hopefully sooner but I work a lot in RL. So yeah, there will be a beta

legacy-JaY2K2 · 10-28-2002, 10:38 PM

omg thats sweet. the lighting is perfect is this your first map?

legacy-LvlMaster · 10-28-2002, 11:05 PM

First map for ut2k3 yeah, but ive been mapping since Duke3D.

legacy-LvlMaster · 10-29-2002, 08:40 AM

Yay I have most of the day today to work on the map, besides playing GTA: vice city =D So, Im going to try and hook you guys up with another shot by the end of the day.

**legacy-ViciousLoad** · 10-30-2002, 09:26 PM

Godlike, looking like the Lord or the Rings or something. Excellent map thou........

**legacy-STELTH** · 10-31-2002, 04:30 PM

You going to upload any new screenshots, soon?

I wanna see more of that map. It's lookin' sexy like a wet Avril Lavigne in a white tee-shirts that's clinging to her hot body... ... mmm... ...

Okay, upload shots...

**legacy-Herode** · 11-01-2002, 12:13 AM

There is some twisted people on this planet, get a girlfriend.
lol just kidding, but i mean come on...

**legacy-STELTH** · 11-01-2002, 01:37 AM

Dude, saying that is like, man, a trillionth of how twisted I really am.

But thanks for giving me some credit. 'Preciate it, bro.

**legacy-Shadowlurker** · 11-01-2002, 07:00 AM

not many critical things to say here.... it's looks pretty good from what i can see, but mabe a few blue sources might give the map some contrast lighting wise? Can't think of much else to say, can't see that much from the current screenshots.

A gimmicky idea coming though.... how about some molten rain of some sort? Could be cool.

legacy-LvlMaster · 11-01-2002, 09:28 AM

New shots are to come very soon, and some more details about the gameplay and flow of the map. I have the weekend off thank god, with the exception of a trip Im taking tomorrow. As for the rain idea you had, That would be damn cool but I already have ash falling from the volcano, which I think looks pretty damn cool too

More to come, Thanks to everyone for keeping interest!

legacy-BionicBeast_ · 11-01-2002, 10:02 AM

Holly Sh*t, it's art, I sure hope the gameplay is too.

legacy-LvlMaster · 11-01-2002, 10:07 AM

haha, Oh im working on it

And dont worry, Ill let you guys beta test the crap out of it so we'll make sure the gameplay DOESNT suck!

legacy-LvlMaster · 11-06-2002, 08:47 PM

Hey guys, sorry this is taking so long but RL work is killing me and all my spare time! Ive really been messing with lava the past few days, trying to get it to look more realistic. It looks so ugly just as a texture sitting there moving, ya know? But I think I finally found a way to make it look on par with everything else in the map. I have tomorrow night (thursday) off so I can actually have a chance to work on it and Ill post a few more shots for you guys.

**legacy-STELTH** · 11-07-2002, 12:23 AM

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY*BUMP*

**legacy-Shadowlurker** · 11-07-2002, 12:15 PM

are you using a "fluid surface" actor for the lava? Would make it look more realistic.

legacy-Insomniak · 11-10-2002, 07:52 PM

Must bump this thread so more ppl know about this map....

legacy-LvlMaster · 11-10-2002, 08:08 PM

haha That was awesome, I come along ready to post some shots since I never got the chance like I said I was going to and someone already bumped me. Thank you very muchos Insomniak!

Now, as for Fallen Moon, progress is indeed coming along, but SLOWLY. I think someone needs to pay me for mapping so I can do it all day instead of working normally!

But anyways, LONG overdue shots, some of them retaken. As a special treat, they are 1600x1200, which means they are super sexy

Here you go my friends :

wicked I want it now:cry:

legacy-Akuun · 11-11-2002, 01:00 AM

My eyes literally widened when the screenshots showed up :up: :up: :up:

Great map. Try to make the map so that walljumping becomes useful. IMO that's what makes Antalus such a great map

legacy-Parantapa · 11-11-2002, 01:53 AM

LvlMaster,

Could you describe the layout of the map? It is not possible to do that from the screenshots that you have posted.

Also one more thing. It looks like you are going for the dark moody atmosphere in this map. Please make sure that the map has enough lighting and is not too dark. That would make it easier to see the players. This is one of the biggest problems in DM-Reigncaster. That map is nice and moody but is too dark. I can hardly see anybody in it.
