I wanted to re-grab Deathox's Random Bots mutator from his site, when I noticed that he released a new level without us knowing
Haven't tried it yet, but the pics looked awesome and I downloaded it. Sorry for finding it a little too late lol.

There is a large water pool at the bottom that allows players to drop from any point in the map, and and four teleporters with random destinations scattered all over the place (maybe there might even be some secret destinations...
).
The resulting gameplay falls pretty nicely in the "random spamfest" category, sitting very far from any kind of competitive map. However it can still provide some crazy fun, I especially recommend trying it out with the Low Gravity Mutator active! (I almost wanted to include it in the map by default...)
Unlike the usual joke maps I spent quite some time on the visuals, I had some fun trying to add details and special effects. The map is pretty much a mass duplication of a few corridors and decorations but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Wow, this is such a beauty. I'm not into DM really, but this looks awesome!
Good job on this one mate.

and thank Deathox for creating it
I just played all his maps recently (well, the ut ones) and now i have one more, lol!
he's definitely one of my fav mappers
too bad he didn't join in the 512k contest, that would have been awesome
oh well, maybe he'll stop by in the next one...

What do you mean with this??
As long it's playable it's ok ...or do think he put in some nasty prank?

You can never be too careful with maps made at April Fools day.
also I was trying to joke a little, but now I do remember even DavidM did a stunt where he promised his map being OMG BEST MAP EVAZZZZZ!!!! When really it was April Fools
So yeah, it was a joke there
EDIT: Anyway now that I DID play it this really isn't the same case. Looks like a false alarm then
oops.
The visuals were really great, but the sounds for me were a bit too loud and I think low gravity had to be implemented here (I also got pwned by Masterful bots where I only scored 6 when they had 20-30 frags lol). I still loved it though

agree sounds=too loud ... the theme/look of the map seems familiar to me, might be the textures/lighting, dunno. Deathox did say this was an experimental map, but I think the theme would be nice in a full-fledged DM layout. Unfortunately, not really much in the way of gameplay in this one - maybe low-grav would help with some woot pads around
On another note for mappers (if u don't know this already), this is a good example of how to do "cheap rain" in ut99. He's using non-solid transparent unlit sheets... this is good for snowfall as well
much more engine friendly than any ue1 particle system.
Cheers
