Here's a Map that I am working on.  This is my first map so it's taking me quite a long time as I am learning as I go.  Still a lot of details missing and still working on lighting/textures.  This map is based upon an Aviation school and is all inside. Even though this map is all inside it is quite big.  Below are the links to some screenies.

it looks like you dont have much vis ( from your FPS meter) unless its just your computer
looks great tho


well here is what im workin on...


basically its gonna have the guns and all that placed in the map, g_gear 55 ( pistols only) and the red team( top building) will not be able to leave their building, mr.sentry will be watching you!  they have to protect their spawn area from the point hungry blues.

I'm working on navigating around GtkRadiant, what a noob I am

I have a ruins/lava/scifi jump map that im having isues staying motivated with.  Im going to release a publictest of it soon, its probably about a medium skill level, but it isnt noob friendly for sure.  Only done 3 jumps for it so far, but im experimenting with shader lighting and building rockfaces, so the map is more about learning those and some other new things.

Some screenies.

I think that you are right about the VIS; I still need to do a lot to optimize my map.  There a few factor that affect my FPS however; I had a few other application running at the time of the screenshot, Crappy computer by today's standard (AMD Athlon xp 2 Ghz) and had an issue with my FPS ever since I updated to ubuntu 9.04.

Hopefully I will have a beta ready for testing shorthly.

Thanks for the comments.

building rockfaces

how i made all of my terrain is i made a  black image in photoshop, made the mountains with a white brush and then used displace in 3dsmax to displace a new plane, export that as a .ms3d( milkshape object) then opened it with milkshape...  did an export from there to a "quake 3 .map"      not much work

I'll see if i can do something similar in GIMP and Blender.

doh!!! U stolen my idea!!! 
Nice anyway, finally mappers are awakening and changing the gameplay concept, long away from the simple "shot and run" phylosophy...

My next map (after bunker2 and sherwood) will be an antisniper war, but i'm still thinking on how to counterbalance sr8/psg giving players a fun teamplay tactics...

haha i asked you on your server if i could and you said i could
but i think that will be scrapped due to a new toy i have been playing with.
if you want my .map you could have it to play with i would love to see what you would do to it

yeah, basically this one is going to take me a long time.

working on textures and stuff (archs are the most annoying thing when it comes to textures)
