But hey, somehow I managed to finish and to release a map, after that long time. Specially because after that long time I wanted to make something simple and small, but it ended up with more work than expected. I wanted to make a small Napali-ish themed map, with a little bit jungle and ancient feeling. I tried to figure the reasons why I dropped so much stuff in the past. I did not find the solution but since I had not taking care of the textures, it worked here better than expected, although I nearly lost motivation near the end. Anyway, some words about the map itself: The map is location on top of a mountain somewhere in the desert of Napali (the Unreal beta had some of them, until Epic removed them or retextured them for the final). It is rather small, well playable for 3 or 4 players I think. As you might see, the map is set during sunset. I am not really happy with the overall map, specially about the lighting (I already got some negative comments about that), but the red-ish effect also comes because of the GenEarth textures I used and I wanted to use exactly these textures, since they looked rather desert-ish and half fitting to the skybox. Some lighting bugs also can be found (specially on trims) and I could not fix them all, not even with help of SpecialLit, HighShadow details or brightcorners. Also the map is horrible built, more add-brushes than anything else. I have problems with layouting and this thing is/was my own attempt in creating one. I only could manage to realize it that way and it was already difficult enough for me. Some further comments: I modelled myself some new Unreal plants, since the old ones suck like hell .. mostly. I once wanted to make more, but you know how this works: At the end things things never turn out the way you expect them yourself. The palm trees however are based on UT2004 (ONS-IslandHop). I re-UV-skinned them and vertex-edited them a little bit sometimes. Sure thing: I still need some training with modelling (plants). Thanks to editor dave for some hints about the lighting, the oldunreal dev team and VERY special dots! Without dots this map would have never turned out the way it is no, since his static meshes were big help to import and export stuff. Also if you rebuild the lighting in UnrealEd for UT, you will see big differences. That`s it for now. I hope although of its flaws you can somehow play the thing and hopefully it is not my last work. BTW: I needed around 7 weeks for this map, NOT years like most other do nowadays for their maps, hehe.
Last but not least: Info! Yo have to extract the content of the two zips first and THEN merge the two parts together with hjsplit!
It isnt one of those uber high standard maps you made. But it really feels like a oldskool unreal kinda map
