Title: DM-)TK(-LostForest

Author: Turbo )K(

Description: This is the final version of my forest map that I've been working on and off on for quite awhile. It has a few improvements since the last beta, mostly visual ones.
This is for either at least half a dozen players to run around shooting each other through the forest, or for a couple players to slowly creep around sniping each other. It's also a fun map to explore and has a few secrets.

Looks like it's improved. I booted up, but I'm sorry, I couldn't keep exploring your level because the ambient sounds aren't... ambient. I assume you have them all on bFullVolume which really isn't a good idea. By varying the pitch and lowering the radius of the sound emitters you can make them less annoying and more a tool for immersion. You can also set them up to periodically emit sounds (and randomize their emit intervals) instead of running a constant loop.

Yeah I'm not that good with sounds. I'll go back and fix them since I want this map to be enjoyable.

Okay Sounds are fixed and the map is now playable.
Link updated in first post. Thanks for the input Jefe.

Turbo K,
absolutely love the final product. Puts every other forest map to shame imho.
Kudos!

You did a good job fixing the ambient sounds, much, much better. There are still a lot of odd-looking overlapping meshes, mainly tree branches, but I've already visited that subject, so I'm sure you're aware of it. Anyway, good work on the final product, it's a much better map now.

Thanks. they make the map still sound good if you turn the music off.
(which is important when doing a sniper battle)

There must be a great details about this map. I like the surroundings in tree branches, flowers, grasses, vines, pillars, ponds etc. and also like the bird-chirping sounds that doesn't matter to me anyhow. Nicely, the fog looks cool enough but can't see through when the bots are sniping around (calling them campers). Sure it needs the powerup base for jumppads; and good for 2-16 players (32 must be stable if doesn't too much count) OR the perfect way for sniper arena. Things are going to be expected until you find a Redeemer somewhere on the top. Cheers!

Woa, tokara forest, this is not. I liked the huge trees, ferns, flowers and other plants as well as mini-towers, crystals and many paths above. Although, some of the path up top were hard to follow and some jumppad weren't quite perfect. You missed a blocking volume somewhere (can't remember where) and I fell through the map and was looking up (had to kill self to continue). Gameplay is wide-open with lots of cover (maybe too much) and bots are good (TDM is the most fun).
