Levelsource 2 - Rift of Ancients
2004-04-11, 9:45 AM #1
"Deep in the mountain ranges of Chandrilla, lies an abandoned network of Jedi catacombs. A few of these tunnels lead out to chambers on the surface. One such place is an ancient medatation chamber hewn out of the living rock of a clifside overlooking the misty mountains and valleys below. It is here that you have arived, awaiting a duel to the death between warriors of great power."

This is the premise behind my levelsource 2 entry: Rift of Ancients. The map itself is relatively simple, focusing on gameplay rather than extreemly complex visuals.

This map is near completion (all that remains are the botrouts and getting the music to work. but if the music doesn't work, i won't loose sleep over it). The map will make the deadline though.

So, any thoughts on my latest work?

The skybox doesn't fit, at all. Next to that, the texturing on the cloned ribs on those pillars is cloned as well - select those surfaces and reset their shifting.

Great work, I agree it does look great.. But ya need, something to give off the lighting.. Blue glowing crystals would be one.. Fire or a lamp (wall, celling... etc..) and the skybox doesnt fit.. But it doesnt mean ya should crap it.. I dont care about the cloned textures, Other then that, keep up the good work!

Looks wonderful! I like the way you made those crystals hanging from the ceiling.

can i be blunt? the skybox should be changed to a more suitable custom one - maybe blue...obvious but would suit it. You should add a huge valley or something so that it doesn't look straight into a skybox - skyboxes are low quality and unreliable...that's my tips anyway

I think the Skybox would fit if you are going for an abstract look. But if you're not...

For the most part though, the level looks pretty good. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.......
How about a switch that makes the crystals create a portal to some other plain?

Nice level so far.
The second screenshot reminds me of one of the levels in Soul Calibur 2, except it wasn't ancient looking.

Ok, the map is now officially available for download here.

Sadly the music still doesn't work, but if anyone wants to give the music a try, email me, and i'll send the .map (mp3's included in the pk3 btw)

Enjoy! (I might possibly redo the map at a later time, but right now i have plans to move on to another project.

I think the skybox needs some work, and I advise that you do what it takes to get the music working, every map needs music.
