I'm raising the bar

[Dragon_Myr]

Yeah, it's almost 3 am and yeah I know I go to bed late. FPS appear to drop once you go into true single player too for some reason. I'll attempt to do something to bring the numbers up higher if possible.

Another exterior screenshot as promised. Interior ones come tomorrow.

It's amazing how cpu graphics can look nowadays and computers have been out for how long? imagine in 20 years the graphics, heck even 5. Now special effects for movies are getting great, soon it'll be even better with high definition (i got a 50 inch hd tv with 5.1 speaker system ) which is starting to come out, crystal clear picture, holy crap you should see it anyway goodjob dragon keep it up

[WolfmanK]

Yeah I will put it up on {NB} anytime your ready man.. this thing is just sexy......

 

[Dragon_Myr]

Thanks. I will be going for a test tonight I think. I don't know if it will be public, private, or invite restricted yet. I finally found the bsp error in the blue base (I'm still fixing the rest of the base and putting things back in) and so tomorrow you will see some more blue side pics, the revised front entrances, and the heart of the map: the waterfall, 2 gens, and cavern section

Here are additional screenshots including a few in the red base. All of these are in high res goodness at 1280x1024 max details settings.

All i have to say is that i can't wait to play test the map, and inform you as to how much better it looks...

 

[[[Vash]]]

Myr I want to help test it, PM me or find me in IRC to let me know when/if we are testing.

 

[Gumby]

Ditto Myr, I'd be happy to help testing...

Bar? What bar? I was never informed about any "Bar". And I certainly would like know where its at before it gets raised....

3 random maps in particular I've played on in the past 3 weeks (I don't fully remember their names), the fact that none of my maps are on server rotations, and the improvements I keep making each time I open Ued caused the "raising the bar" comment. A friend said it to me in a chat and just stuck in my head so I used it to promote the map. I really wanted to make something that makes you go "wow" when you look at it in game and plays just as well.

I've been working on this thing for about a month anyway. It's time to finish the damn thing.

The alpha test for this map went well. However, I've decided to change a large number of things and so the map will probably come out sunday. If it's not done, then I'll do a public beta on sunday. The map will come out that day in one form or another.

Here's a screen of one of the areas that will be staying. However, it's a work in progress at the moment.

The map isn't as FPS friendly as it was before, but it still runs very well and sits around 30 fps on my system at a minimum. I am looking into putting cull distances on more items to help improve performance more.

I'll be up late in the night tonight to work on this map some more. I'm hoping to hit the weekend deadline I set for myself.

after you get this done and tweak snowricco you could try and fix the fps issues on other maps

The map is "too big".

The terrain sector is perfect but the inside areas are too big. They will be revised considerably.

[takwu]

so no screenshots in the mean time?

those shots look great, hope to see the map fixed and released soon. Gooooooo MYR!

 

[Dragon_Myr]

Thanks

But I have stopped this map for now. I'm concentrating on making something for the MSU Phase 3.
