i think this could be quite a nice change from the usual maps

are you able to compile with HDR enabled?

i know you have to make something like 10~15 skyboxes, cubemaps and stuff or something to accomodate for it?

I said it was a possibility, at this point I'm unsure of whether we are going to be able to use HDR.

Cubemaps are a necessity anyway

It's the eve of the unveiling, I'm getting jitters

As am I!

 

[SuB]

yea i know cubemaps are necessity what i meant was u need as many cube maps as you do 3d skyboxes for the full hdr effect, does the current sdk allow you to compile with hdr or not?

 

[Dav0s]

i think its being phased in sub.....but not sure if our expert map makers have the ability to use it just yet D

 

[SuB]

righto just curious is all hehe

The map is being released BETA today. It could be anytime within the next 21 hours. Me and PV are doing a few final things on the map now so it should be looking quite nice for BETA release.

DON'T FORGET THIS IS STILL BETA! IT IS NOT THE FINAL VERSION OF THE MAP.

Big time jitters now :drool: :drool:

Yeah just remember folks this is the beta, all constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated. Further, there are a few things that we haven't changed yet on the map that we know about, they imho don't reflect badly on the map nor make it a poor playing experience. We just haven't had the time to change them ROFL, but we'll see how we go

A major bug has been identified that causes the server to crash. The map has since been fixed and reuploaded. If you downloaded the map please download again from here.

 

[SuB]

what was the bug? we were fine playing it.. it seemed a little ct friendly, u can hide in the windowed area near ct spawn and can't be easily seen thru the glass lol it's a little dark indoors around there. that was the only identifiable problem when we playtested it

 

[enVias]

Did you try exploding the explodable barrels alot?
