My first SW map. WIP

[MadMelvin]

I started making this map about a month ago, but sadly ive lost my inspiration. Maybe it´ll come back. Anyways, I just wanted to hear what do you think of my map and maybe give me some suggestions. Please note, that the map isnt finished yet. There arent any sprites and some of the doorways are unfinished too. im thinking of changing some of the textures aswell.
Yeah, and the map is designed to be a simple DM/TDM arena. Thanks.

Heres a couple of screenshots for those who arent interested in downloading my (unfinished) map.

Any feedback, positive or negative will be appreciated.

And finally, a problem. Im using Jonofs port and I cant darken or lighten any sectors in the editor. When I try, the whole map gets darker and so on. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Hrm, screen shots look cool. Thats the whole polymost thing I believe.. Its the same way for Duke3d.

Looking fine sir. I'd change that red water for something like lava, acid, or just plain water, thats all.

Very cool! http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MadMelvin]

Thanks. And about that red water, yes, im going to change that to lava. Makes the level a bit more challenging.
I would really like to make lights to that map, but its not going to happen with the current Jonofs port, or is there a way?

You mean like dynamic lighting? No, you can't do that yet. You have to do the lighting the old fashioned way http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thats just it. I cant do it even the old fashioned way. When I press + or - the whole damn map gets darker or lighter.

Really? That's weird.

Shading doesn't work for me either. Im waiting for it so I can reshade/update my Mission-X episode and re-release it.

[Steve]

Are you guys using the windows version of build or the original DOS version?

[MadMelvin]

Im using the build that came with the Jonofs SW port. So windows version I guess.

looks very nice!

although too much brown colors, maybe some retexturing?
