We are testing your map in our server DM of community UT3-Forum.fr(Unreal Wolrd)
If there is problem, bugs i say to you. Nice map i think, i say that later

I have just test your map on my pc, she's beautiful, no bug apparently, later it is necessary to see on the server if no bug.
Personally, I think that is missing weapons and life. It is only my opinion.
You have maybe the idea to do it later.
It is the good beginning, if you put a little more weapons and life, at once I shall put it in the server DM.

@Badtrip: Thanks for your comments.
I'll have a look at it and change a few things.
Please keep track of this post as I will re-upload the map tonight or tomorrow.

EDIT: Done already! Plz redownload it!

can you make the bridges wider?

[Hushpuppy]

Dude i must say, this is your second map and its amazing, the atmosphere and the settings is perfect you really nailed the visuals here. If you cooked it for ps3 i could help getting PS3 ppl to play it since there is a bunch of ppl reading my blog interested in new maps to play.


Having kinda "Map Spotlight" thing xD

@Hushpuppy: Could you tell me how to cook it for PS3? I'd love to do this for you, but I just don't know how to do this. A link to a good tutorial would also be fine!

[R.T.S.]

Wow, this is a beautiful map. I can't believe my pc holds up. The only glitch I noticed is that two health packs in the middle of the map are floating above the ground.
Also, the inside of the buildings could use more static meshes. If it affects performance too much, don't worry, it's fine.
I think the width of the bridges are fine also. It's very tense fighting on them, lol.
Gameplay wise, I think this map is very fun, but I'm no expert at determining this.

The screenshots look briliant
Downloading it definitely

I had a similar problem with Shrift alpha1. Check your packages if they're not changed, delete any duplicated ones and recook - in my case it fixed the problem

Checked out the map yesterday. Nice work - the visuals are briliant. only thing it really needs some more life, maybe a weapon on the center platform. Imo there could be some other exit of the Flak/Rocketlauncher rooms. (It coul be a nice CTF-map ; )

Keep it up - nice work

Added the exits as you asked. Since there's already a weapon and ammo pickup on the central island (Stinger), I didn't change that.
I sent you a PM about the problem with the packages.

The ps3 version is not fully cooked you should end up with just one file (userdata.jam) and not several files.

Edit : ive got a ps3 cooker looking at it for you ill update soon as i know anything.

Edit : due to the author requesting someone to cook the ps3 version, a working ps3 version has been produced. A pm has been sent to the author with a link to the file, it is up to the author should he wish the link / file be removed or if he wishes to post the link on his thread.

OK man, really sorry for that!
The program that should cook it, just crashes after producing these files.
Anyone got a solution?
Anyone wants to cook it for PS3?

[EDIT] Link posted!
