Looks pretty neat, after seeing the screenshots I see that the fire in screenshot nr2 doesn't lit up it's surroundings at all. Will download and try it out later tonight

[PHX]Big_Deal thanks

There are a few small build errors I noticed, I'm not happy about some of the lighting and the Lifts don't behave themselves online So there is more work to be carried out on it.

I just tested this map and it seems to run okay for me. Any chances that your going to finish it? I remember this layout. Is it a remake from a 2k4 map?

[The_grey_man]

Yep, it's a remake of a 2k4 map - with the original authors blessing.

Hopefully I will find some time this week to finish it off.

wow look good

[Bl!tz~]

wow i just tryed beta 20 and this is a keeper for me

the layout of the map is original ,fun and very efficient.that ZAxed action is a blast and allow all kind of mooves...pure flying monkey map haha^^
some observations:
-the fire sound isnt enough progressive
-the wood on thoses huge wood arches is not pleasant to watch and have an IKEA side in fact i was axpecting some massive pieces of wood and not that "assemblage" and oblique angles(+ in some places it s not the same scaling)
-u can walk on fire without damages, not coherent
-some places looks empty and dont present interrest; why dont u add more items like shield belt; redemer; invisibility or more? some health more can be welcome too as the map is big and allow a big playercount
-the lamps are nice but something looks wrong : like if the light reflection on walls and the halo were more powerfull than the brigtness of the lamps themselves; perhaps can u make em more transparent to show the flames more or make the "glass looking" more light emissive
-some will probaly tell that some parts looks repetitive (fire; lamps; meterial on walls) i personnaly like that way ; it gives to the map a mysterious athmosphere
-u have use the "old wood stock mesh" on that little bridge and it s not really according with the triming.... and with the rest of the map too btw

excellent map; thx for ur work

Coolcat22 & Bl!tz~ Thanks for the comments.

To answer Bl!tz~ comment in turn

-Yep I can sort the fire sound out
- I agree I spent a while yesterday looking at them and came to the same conclusion- there will be changes there
-The big fire place does kill you, if your talking about the two in the middle of the map under the grill, I don't want them to damage,it in a very central place and there are lots of fighting there without worrying about standing on the gills.
-I will add more pickup's as it's a copy of an older ut2k4 map the pickups are as that but I can sort more out.
-Now I look again at the lamps they could do with been a bit brighter
- This map was started by others and I think they picked that wood to make it look like it's been weathered from the outside.

and I thought I had about finished it
