I made mah first map! Simple CTF with two bases with way too much ammo and armor. I put so much in it so that EVERYONE can have the weapon they want, go outside and fight with enough ammo to last them. This way, ammo doesnt really become a big part in battles, deciding who wins and loses, ever.

As I said, thats a HORRIBLE screenshot. I have a few particles that you cant see because I was in editing mode at the time, and it makes the ground look like theres nothing there, which is half true. You can go under the bridge and jump up onto the map again. Its also really blurry.

Anyway, I douby that this will get into the next version of Sauer, but no problem in trying, eh? Vote for me, anyway, and leave feedback if you think I should add anything or change something.

Dude, really. Improve your typing and, more importantly, the content of your posts. The above posts should have been one, should have had 0 typos in them, and could have been much more productive and informative to the author.

Priest, I'll try to get you some proper advice when I have time to form a complete review.

Alright, I\'ll fix the bridge. I kinda wanted the walls and floor, though. They are plain, but I wanted a indoor map.

Walls, floor, indoors, etc. is just fine, but flat, blank walls aren't.
My maps make some good examples:
My first playable map, Roundhell ( http://www.quadropolis.us/node/997 ) had next to no detail. Flat walls all 'round (literally). My next, Sandtrap Station, ( http://www.quadropolis.us/node/1417 ) still suffered from the blank-wall syndrome, though I used a combination of textures and geometry to break up the flatness. (It still isn't the best I could do, though.)

If you want a REALLY good example of a detailed, immersive map, take a look at this one: http://www.quadropolis.us/node/1474 . You can immediately tell the mapper put a lot of time and effort into creating a little world.

Thanks for giving proper advice, unlike sk!llz. I'll figure something out for the walls and make the actually look good.
And next time I take a screenshot, I wont recompute the lighting at top quality possible, seeing as it lowers my FPS by around 50 or 60 and doesnt even give noticable changes >.<

OK, demon I get the idea but (my comments)

-The textures are really bad. Reminds me of a 70's disco map.

- There is also way too much ammo in the rooms.

- Beside the two rooms there is not any cover for players.

-Like I said I get your idea you just need a bit of work on it. Keep at it.

A kind of grunt, usually used to denote something average or sub-average.
Used mainly when the user doesn't have anything else to say.
