My first DB map actually, just to give you a small taste.

Hoping to release it some time next week, if all goes well!

just a suggestion.

I would sink your goals into the walls of the gym. I personally like them that way. It makes it easier for the keeper (he doesn't have to look behind him) and it just makes for less troubles when dealing with a cube-like map.

Just a personal preference.

Also, make sure there are high-res and low-res options embedded in the map for those of us who are playing on a gf2mx.

Thanks! Looks great from the screen tho.

Heh, that's funny...I was sitting in gym class the other day bored as hell and was thinking to myself "I should do a DB gym map" but gues you beat me to it

Anyway, really nice job man, can't wait to play it!

put some padded mats around it, or make the goal look like a big mat.

Cool Looking map, one question tho, will the ball bounce higher of of the floor considering the materials its made off

I don't think those physics are available within UT, at least I didn't notice any change in bouncing ... all you get is a "walking on wood"-sound.

YES! in gym class in grade school we had a really cheap school but a full size high school gym so we always used 2 big blue pads as the net when we played indoor soccer and such. I think there'd be a problem with the goal not actually going in because on all current maps the goal triggers pushed back a bit to give the keep a bit more of a chance. You should prolly put Pads on but make the goal part of them have no volume to it so the ball can hit the actual wall to signal a goal.

Hm, I'll try to come up with something mat-like, but I will still have to put some kind of frame around it, so I can place the goal zone behind the keeper line...

Make the mat a non-solid object with a blocking volume the same size that blocks all but the ball, then put the goal zone just inside it.

The problem is, I don't want people to be able to score be shooting the side of the mat ... I've now placed a wood frame around it (it looks "ok") and also left 2 piles of mats on the playing field.

i hope that the trees wont kill fps like they did in shadow

perhaps make (some of) the trees bHighDetail = True (or something like that)
