Uprising

Posted: 2002-09-20 3:17 p.m.   Report Abuse Its pretty nice, cool trap. ;) But the guy before me... Um I have a GeForce 4 ti 4600 and um I got pretty decent gameplay, and if you are playing by yourself on your own server than... Its not lag... Its ur framerate... Ill tell you my framerate if you tell me the command please. I have a 2,000 mhtz p4, 512 m-o-r, gf4 ti4600, sb audigy gamer. I give it an 8, a job well done.

Posted: 2002-09-20 4:11 p.m.   Report Abuse Good map, needs a little more detail, but the booby traps are cool. I'd also like to know how to make 1-way windows and booby traps though. Good work! 8/10 Oh yeah, it's good to have maps with bot support.

Posted: 2002-09-21 1:09 a.m.   Report Abuse This is a fun level to explore. Lots of bizarre stuff that makes absolutely no sense to have in map, other than "Hey, I wonder whats behind this door?". Very entertaining. This map strikes me as a sketch pad for trying out level design ideas, rather than a serious map.

Chief issues are:

1. The lighting comment others have made.

2. The star field extends down past the horizon. Is this map set in the middle of space, or on a planet? If it's on a planet, then I should never be able to look down and see the sky.

3. Much of the lack of detail problem another person made, could be solved if the shear scale of the map were reduced. This map could have maybe even been one half the scale it is now and still have worked fine -if not better. As it is, it's really too big. I was getting a frame rate that never exceeded 12fps or so. I'm not running on the current powerhouse games machine -but that's kind of the point. I really shouldn't have to be running a high-end PC to get a reasonable framerate of at least 20fps or more.

Anyway like I said, it's neat map with a lot of cool ideas. But as a stand alone FFA map, it really doesn't appear finished yet.

I gave it a 6, cause it needs to be tweeked and fine tuned.

All have been helpful.
I thought someone might pick up on
the unnecessary size! I agree.
This was something of a sketch pad,
or a practice map- but I had so much fun
playing this one, I had to release it.
I will incorporate all of your critiques and suggestions into the map currently under construction. Please let me know what you'd like to see!
Thanks again for the posts

Posted: 2002-09-23 10:14 a.m.   Report Abuse Nice map. Cuco, I think all of Massassi would be in your debt if you could write up a tutorial on doing booby traps....

I'm really still learning all this myself,
but I'll post a tutorial of what I know
in the next couple of days
