Yup, been working on the lighting quite a bit. I have even moved the sun so it points in the direction the picture of the sun comes from. Give the canyon a bright side at one point (not as bright though) and a darker poit were it cant get too. Gives it a better feel.

As for bUnlit....wow! i really did have a lot set to true!? I remeber doing it to a few, but not that many, think it was when i was messing about on something, must have saved it by mistake...oops. I have taken bUnlit off all the ones i can find, except the bridge planks, as it does not light properly one side and it looks crap when u run accross it in one direction. They look ok anyway. I have had to use illumanate a tad on some static meshes too, but over all it looks a lot better, I know it did look a bit false and tacky before, its fixed :)

Originaly i wanted it to be really really sunny planet and hot, hence why it looked to bright. It looks a bit more like its going to dusk now, so got some slight shadows too.

I am working on weapon placements now and other items. I admit, this map was not my best work, it was rushed and i did take a lot of short cuts, it shows up! I will try to make it better though. In future i will not release a map till im really happy with it. Guess i was just curious to see what the responce would be.

I am working on a map now that i had started ages ago, even before canyon, its coming along nicely :) Much better quality

Hmmm about the vehicle under water thing. Maybe you should make the water like chaos island (VCTF Map). Im no expert at maping but they were able to make it so that you can go under water but vehicles float atop

NOTE

Just for those who dont know, FHI-Canyon Ver 2, will not be re-released on its own. The final, better and hopefully bug free version will be included in the FHI Bonus Map Pack that is being worked on.

Sorry for those waiting for it to be re-released soon.........if there was anyone lol

hmm,

Well i guess if u guys really really want it for V3, i could get it done, just been working on other stuff. I have to do quite a lot of work to it, got some big issues with collision radios on the rocks. Looks like monsters and players are hovering.

Well, tell ya what, shall we release the version you first uploaded? I did experiment with it a bit and do the bUnlit fix, and tbh it doesn't look as bad as you might claim it does. :)

You could always release the greater, upgraded version with the community pack like you intended to!
