DM-Phoenix Final Beta now out!

[legacy-alienlaw1]

I hope you change the name of your map at some point before you release it. I already have a map called DM-1on1-Phoenix and an SE version of the same map. Both of these maps were created by Lord Dace and I like them so I wouldn't get rid of them. I also like most of Yournan's maps but if this one keeps the exact same name as the existing Phoenix then I will have to pass on this one. There is no DM-Phoenix however, so maybe you could call it that.

I just feel I have so much head room compared to other maps out there. Any way as you said when you fill it up hopefully it will make it feel smaller. It is also apparent that every where I double jump the roof feels miles away, you need some cramped enclosed places. They make excellent flake cannon combat.

Lol and my new map has miles of head room, I am a hypocrite.

Hopefully mate the meshs i'm using will take up a lot of room, after all the meshs from crash theme are quite large. I actually didn't realise how big the map was myself, i think i scaled it up a bit too much. I've got some ideas to enclose it, so i'ii give that an crack and then get on with the job at hand.

thanks

I scaled it up via 1.25, as it was too small. Any particular areas which feel big? Most of the space will hopefully get swallowed up by meshs.

You should put down weapons and pickups for an alpha, imo.

Too early to tell on the basic layout - it seems ok, aside from there being the big holes in the floor and some steps that are too high.

I'ii drop some weapons in, i actually haven't gave them any thought yet. The high steps i've sorted, and the big holes i really should have covered with an glass sheet.

Is it just me or does it feel huge.

Any way i agree, get some weapons in there.

I'm going to agree with this too... you know that we use that way of development for UCMP, Yournan, and you know we have weapons in an alpha version, without it, you can never tell whether the map is good.

+1

in order to get the layout flushed out properly, you have to be able to play it.

So I can get a better feel. It only takes 2 minutes to do and my eyes will not be so unwanting to test your map. Why do you think Soma does it for fun?

If you think nice textures will make it feel better layout wise i can do that, all i'ii do is just align them. While i'm on the job it has no lighting, your not fussed about that are you . Maybe soma does it fun, i'm not sure lol....but my point is i want the layout tested. PM me your e-mail addy and i'ii send an aligned texture version.

I'm going to spilt the bigger room up, and do some other changes. I'ii get another beta/alpha up soon.

Whats the point, its a layout test you don't need nice textures to try the layout.

OK, one big room can be there - of course. Spammy "can't aim" myself will keep off it. :-))) I'll wait for another release.

Never did any alpha (nor beta) test - so I did not really know what to mention and what not - and of course - half of the things are mere opinions. Looking forward for pick-up placement.

A, B - both rooms are reaaally too big - maybe some pillars and another details will solve this ;-)

I think B is good. The map needs atleast one open area. I think A is too open.
