That's very emo.

And Mclogenog, get into L4D mapping! People actually plays that game.

A shot from the new map I working on, DM-Brave :

Custom L4D maps probably get less play than even UT3 maps honestly. Never seen a community so content to play the same few crappy maps over and over again as L4D.

You are highly misinformed.

View/Download count on Campaigns/Survival maps.
Such count does not compete with UT3.

Not a big deal, but the gray blocks seem too big

Woah! That's looking great. Really love the lighting here, just be sure to bump up the lightmap res on those trims with shadow edges for the final build!

You might also make a slightly brighter or darker variant of the wall stone material, and mix that in to highlight important areas.

It really does look excellent!

Looking neat, UTNova. That water might be a bit too blue, IMO.

@UTNOVA: It looks like an oldskool UT map that actually exists somewhere. With plants growing in, lighting all nice and realistic... Very cool!

I agree about the color of the water though.

Great idea!

I like the "prettier lighting" in DM-Dethen, btw. Little subdued compared to the lighting in your other maps but it looks good!

Here's a screenshot of the forest level I'm working on for Killing Floor.

and here is a video showing off the river in a slightly more recent version where the atmosphere it closer to what I want in the final:


Sorry the quality isn't better. The source video is super crisp but on youtube you can barely make out details in the water.

[Vaskadar]

Looks like it could be a lot of fun!

I hope MuskratCastle gets whitelisted soon. That's a superb map, along with Cave.

THX Mclogenog,
Yes the trim textures will be rework before final
The wall stone material is actually on work too.

Glad you like the map Sjosz,
I have set the color of the water pool as a "recall" of the ocean color that surrounds the map and to obtain a kind of "tropical" ambient.
But probably lower a bit the color will not affect the overall visual

To see what I speak about :

You're right, it's always on my mind to keep an oldschool aspect on design at least.

That's a good point, I forgot L4D is also played for SP/Coop.



@UTNova - I really like that shade of blue myself. Makes me thirsty it looks so good.

That looks nice!
And I do like the blue water - it's really UT-ish ^^

So I'll have to find a compromise to please everybody

Actually, with the context of the skybox, that water actually looks fine. That first shot I based my statement on was hiding the skybox context.

So everybody is fine with the water color, that's a good new

I like that little trip to the Caribbean on that map. Perhaps a cruise and a bruise (or a splatter in this case) should be pretty good. Can't wait for the final product!

THX WedgeBob !

A little question, Bots are totally stuck on water pool, I have tested with or without pathnodes on water, no real different.
Is it something to set or do to make bots easy on water ??

Suggestion? Cover it up with a grate.
