[WIP]DM-3072-TyrsLair

Post by Tyr »

Hi,

i want to share my progress on my contest map. :)

Tyrs Lair is a Deathmatch map for 2 - 4 Players. It's a medieval theme styled with a small but clean floor plan. It's based on a very old version of a map i made 15 years ago. I didn't published the map in the past, so i don't know if it's fun to play. :D

For comparison, i've uploaded the old map here: http://en.file-upload.net/download-1204 ... c.unr.html

Afaik, there are no custom textures used, so it should work.

The current map is a huge overhaul. I spend nearly 20 hours to fill it with a much more complex design and the progress is still going on:

Inner Courtyard:

First Floor:

Fun fact: This will be the first map i ever made which will be done.

Awesome combination of lighting and architecture, texture looks big but they do the job while architecture details would be too complicated.

Thanks. I try to find the balance between architecture/performance to avoid BSP Holes as much as possible. Also i have a space problem (contest related) :D

At certain angles the contest logo disappears and you get something of a BSP hole in the wall:

Currently working on an updated version. There are some things that are missing and i've found some issues that caused BSP Holes.

Things that are done for now:
- New bot pathing structure
- Divided the map into zones
- Added coronas
- Fixed a bug that caused a BSP hole on top of the tower
- Converted the second badge to a semi solid brush too
- Added a missing light (idk where it's gone :D)
- Added some items to the center area to have a reason to go there

Kinda has a TARDIS feel, it seems a lot bigger on the inside than the outside:
