Readme:
Hello!

Sunrise Canyon is a UT3 warfare map made with many aspects that should hopefully yield good and balanced matches.

I almost put in a couple StealthBenders but instead hid some deployables throughout the map. Spiders are up by the radar dishes, not eay to get unless you have boots and know how to jump-pad launch with boots and use some air control!

Love, tarnationsauce2

That looks pretty darn good, the name is fitting with the lighting from the screens
Looks like very solid mesh and terrain work as well.

I usually typically play CTF / vCTF (TDM & some DM) but appreciate all of the game types UT3 has to offer; I know these war maps can require a great deal of effort especially depending on the designers attention to detail, its very cool to see there is still quality stuff like this being released. Thx alot for your efforts. - We'll definitely give this a run on our 4-6 player LAN over the weekend.

((I assume you'll eventually correct that in the OP - so just in case for the time being))

Nice map! Love your terrain work and lightning as well.

Only thing about this map would be the minimap.
Ahh, more people should do the Minimap tutorial from Cr4zy ^^

Actually the screens were from before I made the minimap. You have a keen eye! I should update the screens. Thanks!

tarnation, another tip for you, put your mapping work you've done till date in your signature part when you post comments that should make you a more less unknow mapper

Hi guys I updated the link in the 1st post to RC2. And I added readme / changelog to the description. Enjoy!

final version will need screenshot, author name and numplayers in the preview shot of course; nice terrain, lighting and details as others have said; I also like the crystal caves, huge buildings, sunset, skybox, vegetation, rocks, water, bird sounds, music choice and distant images; gameplay is decent and not sure how I can get my bots to attack like I’m doing when the enemy core is vulnerable (they seem to do whatever). I’m looking forward to the final version though, even though I rarely play this gametype.

Yes the bots are bugged in RC2. I will fix it and upload RC2a soon!

In my quest for optimizing I made the floor mesh by the core block weapons only (because playes cannot get into the core room), but doing that made the bot pathnode not base on anything and therefore the bot network was stopped just before the cores lol.

Also good point about the map preview image. Thanks for the feedback and the compliments SkaarjMaster!

Well, I'd say if no one else has any issues over the next few days then this one is ready for final release.

EDIT: thanks for the changes in the final version!
