Your thoughts

[X]

Hi, i'm almost done my first map and i'm going to be asking for beta testers *soon* (in other words not right now, in a few days to a week so don't say yet!) I'm just wondering your thoughts on the screens that are posted below, the level is a small one on one level.

stats for the level:
max on screen polys: 235
min:50
average(aprx):sub 100
node max: 555(yeah i know it's deathly high but frames are still very nice)
min: 75
average(aprx): 150
occlusion max: 25
min: 2
average(aprx.): 8

Other than being too dark for my liking it looks pretty good. It reminds me alot DM_ Agony.

looks good for a first, but ouch on the node count lol

I agree with the above maybe add a little more light in the map (not only blue) and get down the nodes.......

In other words : looks good!

Well for the level being dark, it's not really, those are in editor shots and even while in d3d it's brighter , there are two rooms that are too dark which i've added lights to them, it may still seem dark afterwords but the models are very visible, even in the darkest of areas, i'm guessing it's cause i used underlights instead of overhead lights?

The node count may be high but the fps stays over playable(over 30 fps) with my 333, with tnt2 ultra. Anyways i'm going to try my best to lower them in the main room. I'm also thinking of dplacing some tiles, having out of place (realism stuff)brick in the lower detail areas,think this is a good idea?

The light colours are what i think best suits the textures, the blue(purple on the orange tiles) and white give the creepy feel, i'm trying some more colours while trying to avoid giving the "feeling" of another level.


Finaly, how do you go into observer mode? and pathnoding is a real Biach!

None here can tell me how to go into observer mode?!?!?
anyways i'm going to have some updated pics tommorow, slightly brighter (lights wise) but they'll be ingame so they will seem a lot brighter then the last ones

in UT go to your player setup and click play as spectator and start a match then open your level

You also must change yor Weapon handness (or something like that) in the player menu. and then load up your map as spectator..

Add some light sorces, maybe like some touches on the walls. As the tourch light will look good along with the blue hue of the map.
