Duel Firstgo

between this and doom3 when I play it. Maybe it's the lighting ;) (That's a compliment as Doom3's lighting was superb :thumbsup: ) That's not to say it doesn't have flaws though. For a duel map, the layout is fairly well-worked; there's different height variations to jump between, and a circular route. The ceiling is possibly a bit low, as you can't do the full force jump without hitting it, but for the most part you'll have adequate dueling room. The one thing it lacks is a central area of a good size. There's the sandpit, but that has a wierd lighting bug, probably caused by the way you've organised your brushes, as it looks like the shadows are formed where brushes meet... and it looks a little put of place in a metal-walled complex. The loading screen seems a bit of a wierd choice as well.....but moving on... As I said previously, the lighting is nice, although I can't help but feel that the illumination from the source is a little big. And downward pointing lights don't tend to produce that big of a glow on the ceiling. Some of the shadows looked a bit funky too, but for a first attempt at jk3 mapping it's not bad. I certainly think if you like the look of it from the screenshots you should give it a spin, but if it it's not your bag I'd advise you give this one a miss. By the way, it's a big shame you didn't include bot support in this map, as it really should be there for a map of this size and simple layout. I'm not sure if you know this.... but a .nav file isn't a botroute file, and I can only assume you've placed a .nav into the botroutes folder through mistake. For future reference, the file you want is a .wnt and the tutorial for creating them can be found here at jk3files, on the left hand menu :) New Textures: No New Sounds: No Bot Support: No ~Szico VII~
This level kinda reminded me of the Doom3 environment, not necessairily due to exceptional brushwork, but more because of the layout and texture set. I can't put my finger on it, but I do draw a link
