      Much darker and you can't see what you're shooting at half the time.

            Turn world detail down and the rain goes away... Also there is a settings option to turn weather effect off regardless of detail settings.

                  Thank you! And yes the bots are well pathed, very well pathed if I might say so myself. They'll use dodgejump and shieldjump to take shortcuts that might surprise you. They'll even follow you up on the slant surfaces if you go up there (provided they're masterful or better, adept and lower won't shieldjump).

                  Rain drops will be half the size in the next version. I've also fixed the grates over the slime pits so rockets/flak/etc will blow up when hitting them.

                      Nice map ... looks cool ... kind of like you've seen it before but then there is something that is unique and you can't put your finger on it. Yep that's this map ... a nice open deathmatch ... and the bots were good ... maybe too good ... the flow was nice ... good fps ... nice rain and skybox, and oh yeah ... lots of dying. What more can you ask for in a great DM map? Thanks again. Peace. :up:

                        AFAIK there is only 1 UT version and it doesn't have rain... It was quite a bit brighter too.

                            Looks awesome, dude! I'll have to download it soon, though - I'm up later than I should be....

                            EDIT: Wow, it plays really well! Nice lighting and good stuff with the visuals (lava and slime steam rising, for example) and sounds, and the bots do well. This will be great upon its release! Good to see a true classic revived.

                              Beta 5 up for testing now.

                              - Added some more trim
                              - Added lighting flashes to the skybox
                              - Made rain drops look smaller
                              - Replaced a bunch of small static meshes with a few larger ones
                              - Fixed collision on slime pit grates so rockets, etc. explode on them
                              - Changed/tweaked some textures
                              - Tweaked lighting, sound and botpathing some more
