Can I remind everyone that is using ripped content, to make sure your readme contains the credits for each source, before you get shouted at by us who have an issue with that type of thing.
Friendly warning, before anything turns sour.

The final steps ...Decorations, bot pathing and weapon placement ...I think I will not make it in time (again) ...it's not that this map is so difficult but I don't have much time.

Well ...here the last WIP screenshot:

I go to sleep now ...again 5:42 AM here. <=I feel like this

Know the feeling... But mine is done. If you need help with just sent me the map. I'm curious what the skybox will be

i remind you that you have another 5-6 days ... you will lose a point though :/

i know i can't finish - so i will lose the point... and aim for the 20th ... too much to do, so little time available, oh well

3400 brushes and growing every day... half of the crane tower just disappears as you walk into a main area (and the resulting hom is gigantic, lol)

well you have to find your way out of the messed up graphics, but at least you don't die ...

Maybe with the bot pathing again ...this stuff is tricky ...........wait I'm still awake?!!!
Good night!

[Isotoxin]

Looking good paper, gonna try to get my map finished this evening, can't promose anything though.

[papercoffee]

Only a couple of hours (I hope so) and my map is finished ...I don't quiet get it how the lift exit and lift center works. It's not that really I don't now how they work ...but to keep the overview in the procedure is nearly impossible for me.
I get lost pretty fast.

Ran into a few problems:
1) Ancient.utx textures seem to load up but I'm not using them.
2) My lights in the skybox are missing their coronas, but I have them placed and can see them in UED.
Could somebody please help?

1), use "texture cull" in the unreal command, texbox, coronas are not possible in skyboxes, as far a i know.

hmmm... coronas... i hate to say it, but can't remember - although i've used sprites and flares - actually, take a regular light actor, set to un-hidden and change it's skin to one of the genfx lens flares, also change the style to translucent and possibly set until, or not - play with that. that should do it i think. oh, and do not set the light to "corona", just leave that property false. (then tell us if this works, lol)

[Isotoxin]

I just don't feel like finishing my map up.. I'm just completely done with it, it's boring me, and I can't be arased to finish it up, idk..

[LeviKOS]

I won't finish my map in time for this contest . I can't believe this is happening again. I just don't have much free time nowadays. Tonight I will try to post some screenshots of the unfinished map to show something..
