Just some screens for anyone interested. I didn't quit the map hehe. Its almost ready. Gotta tweak some things like paths and performance optimizations. The lighting is nearly done. I'll fix the texture seems when I split it into smaller sizes. Right now there are four 4096x4096 textures on the landscape. I'm gonna split that into 2048x2048 I think. Should be small enough. If anyone wants to test out the bot pathing and performance let me know.

Thanks for your time, take care.

Man that looks awesome! I especially love the attention to detail with even those trees casting directional shadows. Can't wait to play!

I've toyed with staticmesh optimization before, so I could test the performance part if you like.

Really good work here. Looking a console generation or two better just from that terrain. nice job.

Thank you []KAOS[]Casey. I appreciate the kind words.

The map is being tested right now by a few fellas(lady too? no idea, no offense lol).

Is there anyone that is good at bot path-ing that would like to look at the map and give some pointers? The bots sometimes sit around, especially on low difficulty settings. Most of the lines are green, a few are white. The forced ones are white.

I've been playing it with INF(finally!) and it definitely needs more player starts and weapons. Stand-Off doesn't work on the current beta, gotta fix that. I'm guessing team player starts. Infiltration Death-Match works ok. Of note, I tuned the weapon layout for Serpentine, not Infiltration. Had to pick one, I'm partial. The INF mod definitely plays better than Serpentine. More evolved. Bots behave way better. I wish I could play the UT versions of Infiltration in 227i. For instance 2.85(my fav), right before they really enhanced it to be more realistic.


Edit: I was looking up path colors and found out the paths are blue(flying) on the terrain static mesh. Interesting. Gotta be a BIG problem lol.

Edit: Update. Oh my, somewhere along importing/exporting static meshes I forgot to tag the terrain as path blocking...
