It may be too late for Levelsource 1 (and too early for Levelsource 2), but nethertheless, i've been buisy patching together a rather simple yet exceedingly large duel map (which runs quite will i might add)









Ok Gonk, you admittely inspired me with your sith-style architecture... and slow emotional music . There are already changes underway: i am trimming the excess beyond the walls at the end of the main platform, getting rid of the shiny obsidian texture (and finding something a little... well... less shiny ). I am also adding a crystal effect around the beams of light (yes, surprisingly enoughn they AREN'T just a simple effect).

Comments? Suguestions?

More tomorrow, same bat time, same bat thread? (probably sooner )

------------------

Beams of light, eh? And yet you won't admit to be inspired by me. Ohhh no. Nobody loves Thrawn, nobody cares about him, nooooo.



Seriously though, it looks pretty good. It could use some more detail, though. It looks like it's lacking something.

I was gonna say add some sort of ornamentation. Statues, pillars, something.

It's a good start. The huge open space feel makes it look a little meh

OK Thrawn! your right. Tbe central beam of light is partially inspired by Altarius, but at least my beam of light doesn't spin . Stlll, its (@ least for now) a placeholder. I wanted to make a sort of fog/nebula effect that was mostly green. The map is called "Cavern of Souls", and the beams of light are... well... souls.

oh, and btw: the next set of screenies (still WiP)













I think that I'll resave the obsidian brick texture from the first set as a jpg, as it looks good. It's just way to shiny. As for extra details, i'm probably gonna add some statues and stuff around the door with the stairs (its a but bare right now), but apart from that, i really don't know what else i could add.

Suguestions? Comments? Any particular reason as to why i'm asking this again?

------------------

I like the beamy thing. That looks VERY cool.

Don't worry Thrawn... we still appreciate your work!

Anyways, I think that beam of light is slightly too bright... just my opinion, but still I like how this map is turning out!

I dont like the squiggly thing under the light.

Why are the walls straight?

Farewell, MaDaVentor. In our hearts, you'll always live on.

Looks nice, though I think you should make the lighting a little great. Also what GothiX said, those walls shouldn't be straight in my opinion. Make the walls more jagged and add some crumpling rocks and broken parts to the stone walls on the bridge (might look good to have them curved or something

Latest update. I've added some extra detailing around the far-side entrance. I'll add some extra detailing on the cave walls as soon as i can (not too much though, as its starting to tax on my system ) as soon as possible.

In the mean time:






One of the last elements i need for this map, is the help of SavageX, mainly because of an effect from his map "Soul Chamber of the Sith". If anybody could please give me his email (or if you spot this message SavageX), i need to find out what fog effect was used at the center of the map (its for the "beams of light" in the map).

More updates when i have them (btw Captain America. would you please be willing to do some botrouts for me when the time comes?)

------------------

Sure, just email rrobiniscool@hotmail.com or ask over MSN.

Reminds me alot of the place in Return of the King where all the orcs and urukais come out, along with the nazguls (as frodo, gollum, and sam ascend up the cliff to the spider)

Don't you just hate it when your half-way through a map when lightning strikes your brain and your brilliant idea involves totally reworking the map? Well, this is what's happened to me. Sadly, this also means no more screens from this version of hte map, but everything returns eventually in its changed form, and the redesign will hopefully be posted by the end of the week (end of next week at the latest)

------------------

just food for thought.. redo the beams of light while you're at it.
