The lower part of the skybox looks a little easterish. Otherwise great.

I'm not really liking the metalmap, it seems sorta porcish, and in a 3vs3 there would only be about 3 mexes per person, which Im sure cant support a decent economy.

RE The RPG map: If you do make a sorta RPG themed map, make it compatible with most mods and not just a specific one.

The upper part of the sky box is my favored part. The bottom part looks like a bunch of Christmas lights.

Mmh... I will place some more Spots - and the Skybox is a try for a Combination - Warrior of the Wind Plants with AlienMountains.

How much should one Point bring- if i adde Five Points on every Side?

Does Fog make Sence? On the Onside- there was no Alienmovie without Fog - or at least Steam. On the Otherside - Fog make it bright...

Looks really cool! Very giger. I think the fog makes the texture a bit too bright like you said.

You can change the fog colour, can't you? (just make the fog a bit darker)

Looks kool, espec the skybox reminds me of some nice tripping;)
I think it shouldn't be so foggy (maybe shouldn't be foggy at all), better add more textures, fantasy lights, drawings, mystical signs and some hidden swimming pools! :P

Fantastic. I sorta wanted a metalmap that can support alot of people and gives more metal when you expand. You seemed to have missed a spot in the lower right corner though. And dont put to much in the middle, I hate takecenter=win maps.

You get your Pool - i didn`t forgot it. Maybee somewhere in TiAblo there will be Space for that

@Lordo: Oh, i messed it up again. Now there must be somewhere on the Skybox a Red dot. Back to work and thx for the Help. Time for Copy & Paste, to fix this :wink:

I know that. I mean hosting maps directly on FU. (Read above posts, he has problems with the servers FU mirrors off of not FU itself)

Disclaimer:

If you had already Darkness Problems with one of my Map or aren`t shure it it is your taste - don`t download it. Lordo is currently making a DarknessTest and i will post his reply. And this Map is heavy ExperiMental. So for your good health... don`t download this Map with high Expections. THis is a Concept - something like Maze, just very much darker. If this Map eats your Cat ore breaks out of your Chest - i am nooooot responsible. Even your Assurance will not pay. Everything beyond this Point . is at your own risk. Amen.


Morbus Xeno
