DM-BellsPeak (Ex CMC entry)
DM-BellsPeak (Ex CMC entry)
Hey all, finally finished this map. It was going to be my original entry for the CMC, it grew to large (against the rules) so I put it in the pile at the back to finish later.
Hope you all enjoy.
NOTE: As is my way of doing things, the screenshot image is a 512*512 and will CRASH UT if you are running D3D. I recommend OpenGL to get past that.

Re: DM-BellsPeak (Ex CMC entry)
Edited the spacing between the pictures ...I had problems to distinguish each other because of the similar light volume and texture.
Why is it a problem to use the default 256² screenshot? It's just for the menu.
People won't see the difference but they'll notice that the map is crashing them and then they won't play it.

In short, I'll notice and it's my map. I can't fathom why people would still be using the old D3d anyway, but that's besides the point. If people insist on using D3d they can edit the level to remove the screens.papercoffee wrote:Why is it a problem to use the default 256² screenshot? It's just for the menu.

I don't know, but many people insist on playing UT as vanilla as possible, out purism or ignorance.ExpEM wrote:I can't fathom why people would still be using the old D3d anyway, but that's besides the point. If people insist on using D3d they can edit the level to remove the screens.

Just tried it out, and all I have to say that it's an awesome map, certainly a potential winner if it was a CMC entry.

Really nice map. It has a good flow. But I would have build in a tiny little bit more z-axis play.
The lifts are the only way to get from the bottom to the top area.
And that the exits from the lifts are always on a different position brakes the game flow.
Anyway, this map is a fine cramped little Death Match feast.

Re: DM-BellsPeak (Ex CMC entry)
As long as I am not a smarty guy, I do not understand what exactly is the problem with 512×512 screenshot. I've done 1024×1024 multi-framed Screenshot in Sk_Godz and it did not crash any d3d in my system(s). Actually I don't get what crash is about except maybe OS's DRIVERS problem which people are ignoring leaving their systems with default display drivers (not UT drivers). Evidence here - using a D3DDrv.dll file from years 2000 (and we are in 2018 if I'm not mistaking...)
Of course, because of fore-mentioned reason I cannot explain why some semisolid brush types might be causing flickering textures (in my maps happened as well...) looking from some range, because in a closer look they do not have any visual glitches.
Actually this map seems suitable for some DM as long as ExpEM do seems to have good mapping skills.
Perhaps as a small feed back, some ammo could be added post pathing for preventing to load paths network too much, leaving only weapons to be taken by paths building... but I'm not sure if here can be issued something around this problem.

Yea, I spent about a month trying to figure out how to add better Z play. The map is just too cramped to add any more without becoming a corridor shooter.papercoffee wrote:Really nice map. It has a good flow. But I would have build in a tiny little bit more z-axis play.

I have been unable to recreate the flickering semisolids, wondering is it could be related to your FOV?

I can't reproduce that either - perhaps it's caused by the old D3D driver?sektor2111 wrote: Of course, because of fore-mentioned reason I cannot explain why some semisolid brush types might be causing flickering textures (in my maps happened as well...) looking from some range, because in a closer look they do not have any visual glitches.
It's a nice map, lots of fun - as already mentioned, a little more z-axis action would be good.
Re: DM-BellsPeak (Ex CMC entry)
If you can find a spot to improve then let me know, i did think of reversing the lift by the minigun to sit at the top instead?OjitroC wrote: It's a nice map, lots of fun - as already mentioned, a little more z-axis action would be good.

Re: DM-BellsPeak (Ex CMC entry)
That might be worth trying. I don't know if it is just me but the lifts don't seem to come up to the top (that is, if one is standing by the lift shaft at the top) and it might be better if they did - the only way down is to jump on to the roof at the lower level.ExpEM wrote: If you can find a spot to improve then let me know, i did think of reversing the lift by the minigun to sit at the top instead?
