Holy shit! <imagine this said by the UT2k4 announcer>
You did a terrific job with that document and reviews. Although it's 58 pages long, you made it quite easy to read, given the way you've written it, the font used and the usage of lots of pictures.
I believe there are only a few in the the entire community who would go to this length like you did.
As for the review on my map, actually the negative bits were on point. You're not the first one saying the coronas are a bit much, which I agree with, so last Wednesday I already added to my todo list to tone them down (I will probably just lower the glow to at least half and their sizes by a third, which should do the trick without having them almost disappear).
Some of the additions of the CTF logos on walls and the floor were exactly to guide the player to know where to go.
CTF maps are either asymmetrical (rarely) or generally rely on having the base color used throughout each half of the map, but I didn't want to do either. I actually believe the map is small enough for players to not get lost, specially once I add bot support and it becomes more apparent from where each team is coming from.
Also, as it's meant to be a very symmetrical arena, the end result is indeed some repetition within the same area around the 4 corners.
Other than that, I have been sorting out the BSP and lighting issues, and on this regard it's almost done, and the map will look a bit better with things fixed.
Thanks for your detailed review.
