    DM-1on1-PhoenixSE

    Name: DM-1on1-PhoenixSE
    Version: 2.00 (Second Edition)
    Compatibility: UT2004
    Description:The second incarnation of Phoenix...
    Now featuring completely re-done lighting, ambient sounds and dynamic lightning. A small arena designed for a new kind of 1on1... tense, but exciting...
    Comments: PhoenixSE features the same physical layout as the original, but it has a new weapon layout. In general, if you didn't enjoy the first one, you probably won't enjoy this one, but hey, what the hell, give it a try
    For those who loved the original - well, you'll love this one even more

        nice. Was Event Horizon an inspiration at all? I know this is a small 1 on 1 map but for some reason that movie which I had not thought about in a long long time resurfaced in my memory when I was playing this. I know it looks nothing like it, but there's something evil about Phoenix which gave me that impression.

        Anyway, I really like this

          I'm really glad you like it

          To be perfectly honest, I haven't watched Event Horizon all the way through, but it is based on very similar ideas, yes. Didn't think of it that way until now though

          Thanks for the mirror, appreciate it :up:

            You should consider doing a kind of Event Horizon map, you are really good at capturing the right feel for that type of the map - Phoenix is the proof to me. Those gateways you have outside the ship on this map are really cool and to me, maybe because of the atmosphere inside the ship, those gateways have a somewhat eerie feeling about them. I also went into the sky box, interesting in there.

            The one main room in Event Horizon where the blackhole gateway thing is(not sure the exact name, it's been a long time) would be cool to see in a mapplus then the rest of the ship would be a great too. Especially if those quick flashes they showed of what happened to the previous crew were on the map instead of just an empty structure. The lights going out etc all good things for a map like that. I've never really saw a gory horror map based on a space station at least for ut2004 other then maybe Warbeast's DM-Chimera.

            Anyway again sorry to go off on a tangent like that. Your map is good, inspiring to me! Running on my server as well.

              Sounds like a pretty cool idea, maybe I'll give it a try...

              Getting the lightning and stuff to work in PhoenixSE was a mission, but it was also fun to see what I could do, I loved making the theme - nearly scared myself a few times

                            Have to second that all the way! :up: Phoenix kicks some serious ***, but a full-sized DM based on the Event Horizon movie would be even sweeter. And the tortured crew...wow, that would really be the icing on the cake! Btw, it would be nice if instead of just using (reskinned) stock UT characters for the gore part, you could add some custom designs. You know, naked people impaled on stuff (etc.) ...just like in the movie.

                              I like how you think. Hopefully Dace does a map like that because in this one he mastered that type of mood perfect with the atmospherics. That warp gate thing outside the window has that creepy feel too. Would be cool if on the Event Horizon map you could jump into that gateway thing in the one main room and see some crazy evil stuff.

                              Another good idea would be to make a CTF map where both sides are connected via that gateway portal thing so when you jump through it, the mirror version of the ship would be the one with the tortured crew and stuff but in the same architecture...although I would love to just see a big DM map with the crew all tortured dead and add in stuff similar to the moments we saw in the film. I wouldn't even care if it flowed well I just want a map like that!
