So, Here is my new map... it is a beta2, or so called version 1.1 public beta, but, that doesnt matter...

So, about the map... For a first look, it looks like the ye olde Under Sea map, we all knew... yep? Now... The idea is not from that map, but I have to agree with the fact that there are connections between the two maps... But in this case... I have to tell, that this map has better gameplay (hopefully

) althought It doesnt give the same EyeCandy feeling... but I think it is still good... Anywayz... the diea came from the Movie Pokémon... didnt like it, but I had to watch it... (reason? forget that...) So... the diea is, a Huge Arena made of glass, that is loating in the air... the only way in and out, is the two goals on eac ends... So the chance of the ball getting reseted is 0... only if u score, but a reset doesnd matter then... I added the two "walk-up" things I had in my previous map HimmelKrieg (fun and gameplay testing was its porpuse... but now, its on gameplay) These two are good for two things, but U'll know what I'm talking bout...

What matters... some screens:

and... the DL link... have fun, and plz post comments!

gameplay would be 200 x better and the map will be playable if you remove those stupid things infront of the goal, my opinion

And did you mean to have reset volumes in the middle of the pitch? if so then gameplay is 0

This is a nice map. Well done on the two colors for the glass. I didn't like the score board very well only because it was some what blocked by the beams. It's ok, but if you found a spot either high inside or outside, above an angled down (see it through top glass) it might fit better. I wish it was smaller for volley only games.

A version around 4352x3072 without the things in front of the goals would be excellent for volley games. Small Cube is 4096x~2560. With your sides, I think a wider and a little longer would work. Height looked good for a volley only map.

P.S. - tell people to rename the file - same name just remove ".lol" at the end. Some might not know that they may need to do this.

I'll be waiting for DB-Little Closer to the Sun. I hope you make it. I'd love to put it on my server for some wild volley only matches.

Giant sediment!

Looks pretty... I like the look of the glass.

Mayer.hun · Post by **Mayer.hun** » 11-02-2004 08:56

Yes, David isnt talking in the air, I also thought about that. But thx for reminding me bout that

Yes... told ya u gonna think its sediment like

I hope I'll have time to work on it today.... but I have other work to do...

Agree with Twister, it does look like it would be a good volly only or Gibball map. I loved Sediment but it was a bit lo-----------ng.

Not sure bout them blocks infront of the goals though, and was it a thought out idea to have the angled part facing away from the goal? For gibball or volly only I reackon it'd be better to have them facing the goal (or not there at all).

imo.. of corse

ps: I'll download it later.

it gets an Inphi Thumbs up. i'll download later and try it, but the look from the screens is rockin' but i hate the tv monitor and scoreboard personally. cuz it'll prolly lag me if its not hidden in normal detail

Mayer.hun · Post by **Mayer.hun** » 13-02-2004 20:03

Score board, and TV monitors, are not included in the Normal Detail setting.. Only in High setting, But now, I have time to add some detailmotorengine for the Rotors... They will also be Detail stuffs, so they will be avaible only in High Detail setting... Althought, I'm thinking about, Putting the Montior into SuperHigh Stting, and leaving the Scoreboard in high setting... but Now... I'm goin to work

ey, looks good $\o/$

BUTT · Post by **BUTT** » 19-02-2004 10:45

I like this map... Take twigs advice make a volley map of it
but leave the things in the way.... I like having obstacles in the way for a vo map, it would add more to the game...
BTW .. An idea for anyone... Make some moving panels in a map.... or buttons that make panels move... be cool, anyway...
