Anyone seen this map?

[Leo T_C_K]

Do you know who made it? These maps seem new to me.

[Shivaxi]

lol....first of all its a rip off of Gala's Peak from RTNP....just modified some...pretty crappily too....reminds me of Dots mapping

and second of all...its on HERD coop...so it was probably made by someone in Botch

[GreatEmerald]

Good concept, poor implementation... With some better texturing and geometry it would be pretty nice.
I remember playing another castle map that was a lot better, but don't remember the specifics right now.

[Leo T_C_K]

I said in the comment in the video that some geometry (well most of the caves stuff etc) is obviously ripped from Gala too.

OMFG look at this:


Not only that it is merge of many beta Unreal maps, it also uses some brushes copied from Illhaven or Dinwitty pack. Whoever made these maps is a filthy thief, I think even the other maps use majority of stolen brushes!

leo.. why do you even bother.. like they care.. its good you concern but they dont care so youre wasting time

[GreatEmerald]

Yea, I recognise the beta level in the beginning, but played in the opposite direction, and I don't really know the others. I guess a level like that is still better than those that people make in like 10 seconds that are unlit and have nothing but cubes in it :\

Also, can't help but notice how poorly animated those weapons are (I assume they're from Infiltration?) compared to stock Unreal. With modern technologies, you'd think they could do at least a little better than that :\

Lol, that is Infiltration, but those guns were made back in 2000 I think. So it should be no surprise the animations look substandard. Actually, for such an early mod made in some group's free time, they're pretty well animated.

The altar in the mothership, that stone part, it is copied outright from Illhaven start, that swim area placed in cryox end or what it is, it is from Dinwitty's pack. Also the skaarj general is of course from skaarj tower, but reusing file wouldn't matter. And whoever made the map just put "Juan Pancho Eekels" in the map author, now that is really disgrace, well that is, maybe if he started off with the fhub that would fit, since that had him as author there, but whoever made it didn't even bother changing the author name, or stating anything else.

Haha wow, I noticed the dcrater thing.

I always thought it was interesting all of that ship was mapped but was never used.

It does make sense to re use the base of the ship to create a more intricate interior/exterior for a more imaginative touch..

except that didn't happen.

Gotliebsretreat maybe?

[GreatEmerald]

Gotliebsretreat maybe?

If someone showed me a video/screenshots, then I could tell

[Leo T_C_K]

The guy commented on the video....wow
The one who made it for the server. So they DO care.

RE. Smirtsch's "Gotliebsretreat maybe?"

Great castle map. One one my top 40 favs. In the words of its maker, Mr. Wey, from the map's readme ...

"The setting is on ForggenSee (Sea) in Bavaria, circa 1541. A LOT of time went into the architectural design of GotliebsRetreat before the editing was ever initiated."

[GreatEmerald]

That thumbnail is way too dark to be able to tell anything

[Smirftsch]

its definitely Gotliebsretreat which can be seen. But: http://www.oldunreal.com/maps/deathmatc ... etreat.zip
