My first map ever (arena_Maze_of_Rights_and_Wrongs)

[Sparda]

This is my first map ever and I need feedback,
What should I add? What should I remove?
So just tell me what you think (if you can be bothered playing it)
Any thing you have to say about my map will be appreciated so long as it is the truth.

On another note this is a beta version.

Downloading it now. I swear, if you were serious in that other thread about all the crap you threw in there I'm gonna cry.

[Quason]

Okay, there's no way to go about this without making an ass of myself, so I'll go with the direct approach...

I have the file... what do I do to play the map? I.e., where do I put it and what do I do once I'm in-game?

[Gantrithor]

Put the .bsp into Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\gantrithor_5@hotmail.c om\sin episodes emergence\SE1\maps

To play the map, open the console and type "map (mapfilenamehere)"

Also, Sparda... what kind of file did you point your link to?

[Quason]

AAaaaah, I get it. The file is a .rar or .zip archive. It has a txt file in it that explains where to put the file. I didn't see a file extention so I just assumed that I'd downloaded the map file itself rather than an archive until I just tried opening it with WinRAR on a whim.

before playing critcism:

You need cubemaps, in hammer add env_cubemaps at player's height in
many spots in the map. These take 6 pictures like a cube (up,down,front,back,left,right) and make these shots reflect on models and reflective brushes. When in game (testing) type in the console buildcubemaps

[Sparda]

Do I need to add the Cubemaps then put buildcubemaps in console?
What dose it do any way? Stops players jumping though the roof or something?

I must admit I'm a Noob with Hammer, I only really worked on the A.I. I still have to make the mutants friend with the grunts.

I wonder if everyone will find there way arond...

[Xpiredperson]

I just played this map, its pretty kool. But the mutants kinda just stand there until they see you i ran around in circles killing mutants that spawned and a bunch of their friends stood aimlessly around the corner. Other wise GJ

[Sparda]

Thank you for your reply, yes I didn't add the A.I Relationship info for them because I thought it might be a bit hard, I only did it for grunts, so should I have the mutants Hate you?!?! I'm also going to have the mutants and the grunts friends.

God damn it, where is wisecode and his hints and tips when you need him?

[ripper_hugme]

Yes, I recommend it, they are what make accurate reflections eg. water

[Sparda]

Ok cheers will do in next version.
