This map has been seen MORE than 1000 TIMES in only 3 DAYS, and has been downloaded MORE than 300 TIMES in 3 DAYS too. ps: 11 positive feedbacks.
on www.fpsbanana.com.
here is the map:
(for more screenshots)
http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/52354This is played well with 22 players, more or less. It contains custom sky, custom texture, and i think is great. Now i'm thinking to try this map with a zombie mod(biohazard) cuz i really love that mod. If you find bugs tell me and in the new versions of the map will be fixed. The graphics are really good, I MADE THIS MAP IN MORE THAN A MONTH WORKING AT LEAST 5 HOURS EVERYDAY, THAT MEANS MORE THAN 150 HOURS OF WORK. So i would be happy if you comment my map. Thx 4 playing. Give me your opinion about the map and if you think is better to change something, don't be afraid to say. I appreciate you for helping me.
see ya!

Grrr, I lost my well drawn comment just because of the f*cink attachenemt, sorry I cant write it down again, it was too long...
5 stars . There is a strange thing , thought : the fading lights are func_water ?!
I didn't like the lift . You must think that in this world there are a lot of noobs . I pushed the button and I had to wait quite a lot until the lift came to me . Well , the noobs will keep pushing and finally will say : the lift is broken .
Anyway , the crates are making this map . I like the ads - especially the borat ( it was filmed in Romania with some gipsies...)
You should include an overview - it's quite confusing until you learn the map .
I'll let the experts to comment further ...
the others bugs will be fixed too.Ag3nt-x, yes maybe was too egoistic, you r right!i changed it!but dont agree with "Its very easy to get a "TOP MAP" in FPSBanana, most of the users are noobs and don't know any iota of mapping" because my map, after only 3 day has more than 1000 views and 300 dl, and others has around 1000-1300 after 28 days and 8 feedbacks(now 14)...and i had 3-5 sssessments(and now 7assessments with an 9.2/10)...now i say, u still think im noob?
cuz, i want to tell you that i worked more than 150 hours, and im still working on!...may some1 help me with the func_illusionary?thx in advance!
mines has been added 6 days ago the first one 27 days ago.
mines has 1,406 views and the first one 1,501 views.
so im still a noob?bye bye
About your map, I downloaded and its cool, nice brushwork, but you could work on the r_speeds (null invisible parts of the map and use skyblock).
Are you compiling the map with Qtools? (qrad, qvis,qetc...), if yes then try compiling the map with the newer ZHLT and I think it will get rid of the illusionary problem.
I'll not rate it because it still a beta.
Oke I played the map, Sadly I had very bad FPS but I could test it. Now what ive seen is that you can improve your map ALLOT. First of all, give the faces the player normally cant see a NULL texture. IT will save ALLOT of r_speeds. Because you got everything textured.
That said, this map renders really bad on my old pentium 4 system and crap video card (i see little HOM all over the map and it's really shakey. You get the prize for the highest wpolys i've EVER seen in a map: +8600 ZOMG! = O
Possible tips to improve performance (besides a total redesign of the layout with more vis blockers and perhaps less detail):
-Scale up your textures. If your textures are at 1.00 (or god forbid lower) you might try scaling them to 2 or 3 to improve wpolys.
-try running with VIS -FULL command parameter maybe? (the compile will take forever but it may make it smoother?)
-replace detail brushwork with models
-probably loads of other stuff i'm forgetting
I'm going 5 for this map for the shear attention of detail and beautiful intricate design. Did you map this place from first-hand experience, like you know the place well? Because I get that impression, and that is always so nice getting that feeling in a map.
