Ohh, this is much improved; I'm glad you listened to the advise gained from the first winter assault.

A few points though:

The map seems rather dark, almost pitch black in places, which looks strangle against a day time sky box. Are you mapping with r_gamma set to 1?

The layout, while greatly improved does suffer in a few ways, the ctf spawns and flags are both on top of each other and at the end of a dead end, a very long dead end in the red case. CTF spawns and flags should never be directly on top of each other, or in my opinion within line of sight of each other. The flags should be in an interesting area with a number of ways in and out.

Theres lots of falling snow, but not so much on the ground, ok theres a bit on the roofs and besides the paths but it just doesn't feel like enough considering the amount of snow fall.

The skeleton on a spike is missing its texture, yet the one in the well is textured.

The black bomb site in not visible and the red bomb site is only partially visible.

The light flares, while a neat touch, I find them a bit excessive, maybe darkening them would make them a little more subtle. Also the flare texture doesn't reach complete blackness at the edge so the flares actually appear square up close.


I'm looking forward to beta2

Nice looking map!

But I found again missing textures:

This is that kind of map that looks nice because of the good textures . But my pc can't read the images and the url is unfindable (<< new word).

Stefan: Those textures were hard to find not [Hahaha :S]

Hi 5 on the new release!

a couple of points.

mystery clipping?

http://www.urbanterr...lic/win_002.jpg
put a clip over this wall so you can walljump easily over the water


Also by doing a r_showtris it seems you've learnt to hint =) goodboy but there was one thing i noticed at one point
you need to learn the technique of "mittering"

Spoiler

Here is an example of mitering as a technique to reduce triangle counts ingame. The first image here is a screenshot from GTKRadient showing the sides of 2 buildings. The one to the left is how the building was originally designed. It allows for easy changes and redesigns to be made. On the Right we have the building after it has been optimised for triangle counts. Although we have used More brushes in the editor, their placement manually specifies how the compiler will divide these brushes into triangles. The Second Image is the same two walls ingame. By looking at the wall to the left you can see that the compiler has added a vertex, (therbye splitting the face and adding an additional triangle) wherever a vertex from one brush intersects with the edge of another. This is particularly evident on the left and right most brushes that have each been split into 8 triangles each. On the optimised building we can see that no additional vertices have been added and the only additional triangles are where a 4 sided brush has been split into 2 triangles. The left design results in 63 triangles to represent this wall, whereas the right design results in 39 triangles. A saving of 40%. This may not sound like much when a Quake3 scene generally supports up to 12000 triangles, however consider saving 28 triangles on each of 4 walls of a building, and then duplicating the building and variations of it 10 times within a scene. In this scenario mitering has just saved us 11200 triangles!!

Heh I got no problem walljumping over that water. xD

But, however, I got no textures at all for the lights.

Yes i use r_gamma 1. Ambient changed from 12 to 20 heh.

I will try add little more snow here and there

F'kin funny, but during packaging i put all models in "models/xxx", and i forget about "mapobjects"

Damn, i see them correctly, so it will be hard to fix

These lamps are models, so i can't change flares size. I can change brightness with shader.

I learned many things from SweetNutz's tutorials =p And i use 27's q3map2 with -hint and -merge

Walls are clipped now.

Ah, btw anyone discovered 2 easter eggs?

As i said before, i forget "mapobjects in models directory Heh, i will release ut4_winterassault_1_b1b with just fixed lights
