I think it's alright. There could be a bit too much since I've read somewhere that bots walk to pickup items by default.
Also, I'm not sure how pathing works if I want to make them jump to a heightened floor. So I just lifted the pathnode a bit higher (not sure if this is the proper way?).

Map name will be changed since a different map with the same name already exists (someone sent me a PM and showed me it).

Attached is the map in an almost finished state (I was going for a flat arena-style because it seemed easier to start with).

Groundhog Day... Please also avoid releasing files with the same name but different content - that may cause file mismatches. For example use short form of "Release Candidate" with numbers for WIP-versions: "DM-Hellfire-RC1", "DM-Hellfire-RC2", ...

Roger that. I've renamed it to DM-IgnisInfernum and should stay that way unless there's another map with the same name already.

I've moved the custom textures to MyLevel . Reason being it's easier to distribute the map I think.


Here's a preview:

Badass name there lol, looking pretty good, for a first map this seems like a really good effort. Only nitpick for me might be the lonely staircase that isn't really connected to anything, just seems weird it's there lol, but dunno really.

Can't wait to play it!
