Compo 20 -noname- final

Holy Crap, that's awfully destroyed! Reminded me of opfor.

Awsome job! I wonder what everyone else did.

YAY! Another competitor. I did the exact same thing in my map with the busted ceiling.. but never thought about the nuke, or upside down truck.. very well thought out.

WHY! JUST WHY DID YOU DISSABLE THE RATING!

5 STARS

Good Job

Oh my god, very realistic!I loved the ropes.

TY for the nicey comments

I disable the rating, since I generally don't give maps I comment on ratings any more, It's hardly fair to ask for them. Plus, who isn't afraid of the dreaded 2-star rating

Also loved the decal on the bomb"Die, Freeman" . A nice touch

Looks mighty fine, rowley.

The bomb and that slime were nice idea's, and I really liked that elevator shaft and the way you cracked up that office hallway - it feels very wide now while it's essentially just a fairly small corridor.

Of course I still got something else to say (:P)...
Performance was a bit... humm, those sunlight rays could've been double-sided, and movement in those detailed area's was a bit nasty, but that wasn't what the contest was all about anyway so good work.

TY!

The submodels bounding boxes--is that the right term?--make moving around them difficult at best...and way too many models makes the "too many visible enities" thingie come up alot too!

There might be one more version of this, but it has lots of problems currently

Thanks again for the pointers and suggestions! ^_^

Ah, it's because of the models! Use the cycler or cycler_sprite entity in that case - harder to work with, but not annoying in the end.

Yes, I had the 'Max visible ents in ent packet' error and the performance wasn't super smooth, although still - the map was great.

Things I liked:

-Detail. It was awesome. From the debris to the.. um.. debris it was all done very realistically. I loved the broken crates at the spawn and the broken trashcans. The blinking lights and other stuff were also a great touch.

-Extra areas. They really added alot to realism. I really liked the office with the grunts and the elevator shaft (it was a bit strange, though, since it wasn't blocked by anything visible, and you still couldn't access it)

-Destructification. Now that's the best part of the map. From the large broken stuff, like the ceiling and the pipes to the smallest objects, like the trashcan and the crates - it was all very realistic. I loved the debris from the broken roof with the support beams and stuff. It all looked very realistic. The broken pipe, pouring water was also very nicely made (although since it looked, that the pressure is very big, you could have added a little damage to the wall, that the water hits and perhaps a small env_shake for extra realism) The sprites there were also a good idea, although they were a bit low-res. I also liked the gap in the door at the spawn, where you could see the sky. A very nice touch.

-Great use of decals. The deacls added alot to the overall looks of the map. Great work with that.

The bad stuff would be:

-The ambience. Now I can't say, that it was bad, since it added alot to the atmosphere, although the apache sound started to burn my ears after a few minutes. To make it less repetative, you could have made it sound, that the apache is moving (changing sound), not floating in one place.

-The slime in the flooded room was very nice, although it didin't match the water, pouring from the pipe. I don't know, if you wanted it to be like that, although it still looks quite unrealistic. And speaking of slime - there was a little glitch with it in that room. The slime is too thin at the door with the processing area sign. Try jumping in it there and you'll see.

-The power generators in the flooded room and the office areas were just BEGGING to be destroyed and made to shoot deadly electricity beams, while you left them perfectly undamaged.

-Lighting. The blinking lights were a good touch, although they're too repetative. The endless blinking really made it hard for my eyes.. .

Overall - a very good map. For now - I think, that it's a 100% trophy-winner.

Good job. No item_suit make zombieloffe a sad boy.

Just type give item_suit in the console, thats what I did.

Great map rowley.

Thank you All for your comments and suggestions ^_^ !

I agree with all of the constructive critiques, though I don't think I'd make any more changes, even if I've had an additional week! I'm just really tired of this project right now

I did however submit one more entry that addressed or tried to address these issues:

-Water by the processing sign--Dauby!: I extended the brush to the bottom of the deepest part, but when you walk/swim down there, there's still no visible water...oh well, I tried!

-Water color--Dauby!: I changed the water flowing from the pipe to to color of the flooded area, and it looks much better imo...thanks!

-"floatables"--capt !: I tried to adjust them so they weren't so annoying and thought about removing them completely...but the room looked to plain imo without them, so they're still there.

-Submodel bounding boxes--Capt P!: I tried various methods to make them passable, but with no success So, I tried to keep them mostly out of the path of the player to minimize stuck points.

-HEV suit--ZL!: Yeah, you can tell I don't make SP maps often, a big mistake that I will not repeat on the next one!

Good luck to everybody!

My prediction was right..

The map is a trophy-winner. ^^

This was a great, destructive map, I REALY liked how the cielings were destroyed haveing support beams and wires destroyed, I would rate but, AHH, NO RATING THINGY, noooooo, Great map though.
