DM-Algol

**Hazel.H** · 06-04-2007, 02:15 PM

Name: DM-Algol
Version: 1.0
Compatibility: UT2004

Description:
"Algol 1, the only planet in the Algol binary star system, follows a figure-of-eight
orbit lasting around 204 days. Both stars are relatively cool, therefore the
planet's close orbit and atmospheric conditions are able to support life. Night
only falls for a few short months twice a year, where the orbit reaches its furthest
point from both stars.

It never rains here as such; water seeps out of the ground when heated, and forms a
thick layer of surface fog and groundwater, which is then re-absorbed once it cools.
The native plant life uses frond-like leaves or hollow structures to capture
moisture from the air.

Enough science lessons, time to fight!"

Large Deathmatch / TAM map for 6 - 12 players.

Thankyou!

Awesome map, amazing detail. I especially like the 'blinking' diamond shaped decorations; first time I saw that, late at night, I was like wtf!?

**BuffyTheSlayer** · 06-06-2007, 09:11 AM

finally out !

This is a truly exquisite level ... it made me re-install UT2K4 and start playing it again after stopping and playing STALKER for a while. Please consider entering this fantastic map in this contest:

You will definitely place in the top 3 if not win it outright. This level is magnificent. It belongs in the UCMP 4 pack.

**Hazel.H** · 06-06-2007, 05:05 PM

Cash prize looks tempting. I uploaded it to that site, thanks

**NakhtiUT3** · 06-06-2007, 05:45 PM

You are more than welcome ... best wishes to you and thanks again for taking the time to make this map for a game that is on the old side (3 years plus ... can you believe it? And still sometimes I think these graphics are better than a lot of games that are new).

**INIQUITOUS** · 06-12-2007, 05:50 PM

Hazel never ceases to amaze me. Every map, everything she makes or does is of top class quality and all her maps have something about them that make them standout from the rest. I love testing her maps and being one of the first to see them. And this one ofcorse is no different. I love it and I really enjoyed all the testing we did together

hehe

I cant wait for her next map

**wildman** · 06-21-2007, 08:49 AM

**prograham** · 06-28-2007, 12:31 PM

I recorded a video

clicky

Two ways to get to the deemer - from the lift below or upper platform:

Lift jump >wall dodge > jump (green) or lift jump around the corner (blue).

Shield jump > wall dodge jump (more tricky than using the lift).

**Fuzz2k7** · 06-29-2007, 09:06 AM

That's so funny, not even the godlike bots will get to it. I didn't even realize there was a redeemer on the map.

Great atmosphere. Simply put, this is an awesome map.

**prograham** · 06-29-2007, 12:03 PM

Nice video! 3 for 3! Haha, you make it look so easy. Thanks.

A perfect mix of alien tech and organica themes, blending with perfect atmosphere, digital layout/details, good textures/meshes, custom audio track/ambient sounds, and eye candy breakthrough in organic way. Some alien plants, antennae, her skybox, and other elements are simply fascinating and artificial. There is also an weird alien language in monitors and trims when it comes to your mind (actually I don't know how to translate those alien words though, translator noob

), and the blinking mechanical "eyes" are awesome, but don't staring at them, you'll be get goofed by bots, lol. This map contains good weapon/item placement, custom jump pads, some tricky actions on my remark, z-axis, excellent gameplay, and the bots are decent. Truly professional stuff by Hazel.H indeed!
