Hi all,
my first map ever and i want some feedback. its a 1v1 map based on dm_feudal, but without the jump pad and a new rpg system.
overall i want this map to be a league 1v1 map with close combat like tigcrik. map is in beta stage at the moment and was already tested in some 1v1.
here some specs and screenshots:

- 11 Spawnpoints
- 1 Supercharger
- 1 Suitcharger
- 1 Healthcharger
- 1 Ammo crate (grenades)

- 14 Batteries
- 12 Healthkits
- 5 Healthvial

- 4 Magnums + 2 Ammo
- 4 Shotguns + 3 Ammo
- 8 Grenades
- 2 AR2 +2 Ammo + 3 Orbs
- 2 Crossbows + 2 Ammo
- 1 RPG + RPG Missile
- 1 Pistol Ammo
- 1 SMG Ammo + 4 Spam

- 10 Props + 4 Barrels

Not bad.

What is that box floating in the sky?

Playerclip the stairs.

Maybe delete the small props, like the cinder blocks, and that useless gas container that takes hardly any damage.

A bit more light needed in the area shown in these screenshots.

thanks for taking a look in the map.
did you find the rpg yet? then you know what this box is for

i will playerclip stairs and delete some props.
and i will improve this dark area, i had more lights there but it seemed too bright to me, now its too dark.

i like the map, though didnt play 1v1 in it yet.

things ive noticed:

- maybe add a sound, when u push the button?
- is it possible to shoot opponent when he falls down to rpg?
- maybe clip the path in the center of the map you have to cross from the button to rpg

nice work for a first map

Think you could post your compile log? You have something messing up some of your lighting. There are a few things that could be causing it.

new version with some improvements:
- clipped stairs
- removed some props
- rpg system without floating box in the middle of the map
- more light in the cave-area
- some other fixes

@kon:
its impossible to shoot the player in the lighted tower, but you can easily shoot him when he comes back in the map.
i have a sound when i push the button, and i didnt use any custom sound, so thats strange. can somebody confirm that?

yea, you have leaks. You need to do a "load pointfile" and go from there. Get rid of all the leaks and the fps will go up and the lighting/shadows should be fixed properly.

OMIGAWD You have leaks!!! ZOMG. It would have been a good idea to post this to an experienced mapper so then you can understand how important it is to get rid of these.

Also I know the name of your account name... Hacking commencing.... jks

I like Interlopers' error checker: http://www.interlopers.net/errors/

Just copy paste compile log in the the txt box, press Check Log and BAM. Most of the time they have good information to help you troubleshoot problems in your map.

As far as the point file, I think it's Map > Load Pointfile.
If there's a leak, there should be a Yes/No dialog that asks if you want to open the file.
Click Yes.
Look for the little red line that appears in your map. It should lead you to teh leak.

edit: I heard the rpg sound.

just from the pics, looks great, hope i will play it later
from above, looks like a hl1 map from layout and shapes, but for me its a good thing
the ammobox positioning is great idea, item placement looks good, again some shapes are cool
i love the idea in the last pic with the lights above
dunno how it plays, but it looks nice! gj for a first map, regardless of leaks, just put a big skybox around all lol

so you mean you don't know who Sacrifist is.

@ Maxtasy - you seem to have skills and an interesting view. it would be more interesting seeing an original level rather than a redo. not taking anything away from this work.
in any case, keep it up

I least it doesnt look like feudal. If I remember correctly, it wasnt the prettiest map around town.

the look of feudal was one of the reasons i wanted to remake it. first i tried to decompile the original version which was impossible, so i recreated the layout out of my mind and mixed it up with some ideas by my side.

so the last beta version is finished now.
