<div class="IPBDescription">Noes!!1 Another o1ne!!1</div> Yes, another released combat map to be scattered among the billions. I know I know, billy and even his mother are doing the same thing but a mapper has to eat and if that means selling out and making a new combat map every week, I'll be eating tonight!

<a href='http://s87914922.onlinehome.us/images/co_covenant.zip' target='_blank'>Download Link</a>

For your download, roughly under 3 megs, around 2.6ish.


It is a medium sized combat map that tries to keep the action out of the bases and around the battlefields untill the endgame where spawncamping is welcomed.

What? Get out! Pictures? On a map? Craaaazy. Well... I guess you guys are the bosses...

Yeah thats some level over level action there. You like that baby? What you say we go upstairs and... Oh, you guys are still here. No nothing, just talking to a mirror.

And this concludes our presentation. The map has already done it's mandatory 65 playtests so no need to organize those, but happy gaming and enjoy the map.

    Your hive room needs to be broken up more, theres next to no infestation and i think its too bright. Also the broken door on the roof of the hiveroom could use a light spot coming through to make a nice lighting effect on the ground. Also your red lights looks rather pink, try giving them a bit more of an orange look and possibly change the texture to comply. I also don't like the texture chosen for the rock, infact, I hate it. Try and use something that looks like rock instead of mud.

    Other than these points the map is looking great. Solid architecture and I have yet to see how it plays. Keep up the good work.

    Your architecture looks very nice, but theres no variance in lighting, no shadows. All around the ligthing is very bland. Telling by your architecture you could do better. Try to fix up the lighting and release another version, it will deff be alot better <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    One of the biggest mistakes a mapper can make is overlighting his map. Shadows are good, everywhere I look in those shots there's a light. Mix it up a little. Awesome job otherwise.

    Oh and, more infestation would be nice.

    It looks like a bad nightclub: just about every surface has a different colored huge flourescent light on it...

    Hi.

    I have a problem loading it too.
    Fatal error : spank_beta7_4.wad missing.

    That's all for now.

    Have a nice day.
    see you.

    Spread that infestation around some, son! Plus over-darken some areas to make the lighting more interesting... gamma is your friend :F
  • NetBentNetBent Join Date: 2003-05-16 Member: 16386Members
    I'm going to look into those errors... The map was designed to use less than 40 entities so I did not include any sounds... Either way I'll have my clan do a bit more testing on it.

    Thank you, that is exactly what I wanted on this map.

    Check the wads being used in Hammer, remove the unneeded ones from the list (Like spank_beta7_4.wad) before exporting and compiling. Apparently spank_beta7_4.wad is used by some other custom maps which a few people have downloaded, but I haven't downloaded it so I can't test your map.

    Looks good, with small resolutions like that, but it's just a danG shame that I don't play Combat. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Allright since the others covered most of the areas which the map could use a little improvement. I spotted someting which I think could use a different texture.

    The third screenshot (the rock walls). With the texture you've used it looks more like beach sand, the shape and "sand" sticking to the roof is the thing which strikes me odd <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    Other then that it looks good, but could indeed use shadows. infesta... well I'm not going to reapeat what others have said <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Nice job! Two things i don't really like.

    1. Infestation - its only AT the hive, try to use some AROUND the area the hive is at. there is only infestation under, side to side and behind the hive, try to make it around the room ^_^

    2. dim the lights about 20%, its a little TOO bright.


    other than these, GOOD JOB!

    Alright. First off I was considering never mapping again, seeing as I was giving this map my all, but I guess you guys are just trying to help so...

    I thought it would be good to have it lighter because everybody complains about dark spots where flashlights need to be used and all the servers seem to revolve around the combat maps that have maps that using -fullbright. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Changing the texture in cave in will be time consuming but I better do it...

    Thanks for the info guys.

    Did you recompile without the missing wad? We would like to try this map.
  • NetBentNetBent Join Date: 2003-05-16 Member: 16386Members
    Uh, I could, but I'm sure your the only one.

    An attitude like that will ensure your map doesn't get played. Keep in mind that the folks replying also tend to download maps from other authors, so they're more likely to have the WAD than the average player joining a custom map server.

    Now if you only want a few forum regulars to play your map, then I guess that's fine.

    I don't think so.
