RQMDM4 - Return to the Edge

[Requiem]

Here is a link to my latest release (well, technically this is a re-release):

As always, looking for general feedback and commentary on lights, item placement, and general aesthetics.

I have included an .aas file for fans of the Gladiator bots. Give it a spin.

Thanks.

Ya technically you just edited somebody elses work...
The ZIP is missing a sky texture and e1u1/baslt3_4.wal.
The origional map was great, so I guess Technically this map is great too.

Many thanks to all for their (mostly private) feedback.

The final pre-release version is undergoing private beta. I look forward to an official release later this week.

Email me at [e-mail] if you would like beta the pre-release version.

Req,
I would like to see it, can you send me a link by private message?

Requiem,
I have to say, this is a really cool map.

Everything looks really nice, the lighting looks great,
I would like to look at it for a few more days, are you planning on releasing it soon?

One thing I would like to see you do is sink the spawn points, this would really clean up the map.

After the release, I'll do a review of it!

Nice work!

[Requiem]

LeRay,

Thanks for the kind words. Technically, it was released over a year ago. Fortunately, it was released with little or no fanfare. I'm not in a hurry to officially re-release it, so feel free to take your time and study it.

With regard to the spawnpoints, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I understand the advantages to sinking them. However, I can't help but adhere to my mapping conventions from RQMDM2 and RQMDM3 (they are not sunk).

Perhaps with RQMDM5 I'll explore sinking the pads.

[Le Ray [Q2C]]

I understand about the pads.

I looked at it again and I really didn't see anything I would change.

I really think you did a great job on it!

I'll do a review when I get a little free time.

Thanks Requiem!

Requiem,
if this is the final version, please add it to the "New Quake 2 Maps" forum, for public release!

Thanks.

Remove this thread Le Ray?

[Le Ray [Q2C]]

No, you don't have to remove it.

Can you announce the final version in the New Quake 2 Maps Forum? Thanks.
