DM-VMadness [PICS]

[legacy-ClanG Darkstar]

Name: DM-VerticalMadness2004
Version: beta
Compatibility: ut2004
Description: Alone in his dark tower, an obscure Wizard is chanting some incomprehensible words.
Mystic powers shimmers around his crystal sphere. A few more effort and the black gryphon will be summoned.

Comments:Starting form the original idea of VMadness for UT99, the map is build on a symmetrical structure, with a central tower and a ring of walls. I have tried to give the best game experience enhancing the Z fight and giving the maximum vertical speed. I've create a set of texture and a series of static meshes inspired to the -(Clan-G)- original logo.
Banners, emitters and some static meshes, can be removed changing 'world detail' settings to improve performances.
Can you find how to summon the gryphon?

Nice detail!



This is the Amp Room.

This map is freaking awesome! The Theme is original, new, and never before used (afaik). I love the Skybox with the Wizzard, and those statues are just hilarious!

The design has lots of Z-Axis ( hence the Name "Vertical Madness" with lifts and Jumppads. The lifts allow liftjumps to the roof of the small towers ( love that one )

Most action is inside the tower, and near the tower walls. The outside is quite "boring" ( not the design or the theme, just the gameplay )

I love the idea of being inside a tower that is controlled by a wizzard, it's extreemley original

I didn't find any Bugs ( yet ), **** you hid them soo well! But i will find them *Get's out his Shieldgun*

I didn't test it That intensiveley for Bugs yet anyway. Will do it, but not today..... More tomorow

OMG That dragon is hung like.......a dragon.....that has....a huge ding dong...hanging like moon gravity.

Schveeedt map. I like the colours used in the map's textures. The red and gold seems to go very well.

I'm happy to hear that

2 Shocks?

2 Shocks are perhaps too many, but the map is symmetric... I will think about that.

Door only openes from the outside? Fix?

Doors opens from outside because they are just used if you fall outside the walls.

Help, Help! I'm stuck! lol

Collision problem? Uff... :bored:

Woot woot, flying!

Ok I should disable players collision :noob:

Standing on here...

Removing collision

Very nice movie. I see that you have found the summoned gryphon. Let the players find how.

Thanks to Iron_Legend, for testing this map on his server with me! <3

Thanks to both for accurate testing
