New map Panjoo ( snow map )

[Deleted]

Yay:) Got a fresh map ready: Sub Zero. It must have been years ago that I first got the idea for a large map with a good looking winter theme so I'm glad I can finally kick this thing out the door. About halfway done I nearly scratched the whole idea, for Q2's openGL lighting doesn't do white snow textures good. Without soft colored ambient light you couldn't even see the white crosshair. Without going over the more intricate details no other map has ever given me so much headache as this thing. Take it from me it's not a whole lot of fun to work with "natural terrain" in Q2 on this scale. Once in place, reshaping even the smallest area is tedious because doing it in the wrong order will misalign or mess up the brushes. And then I'm not even mentioning the texture alignment and lighting problems I had with all the irregular brushwork. That said, it feels good to finally get the map done. All in all it feels like a fun and original map, but for a fun game you'll need a good player load (and preferably no cows.)

It's a great map, very atmospheric, spot-on lighting and the theme is pulled off perfectly.

Pan's always had m4d m4p sk1lz. I still think that 'When Pigs Fly' is one of the all time best playing Q2 maps ever. It also has a fairly unique atmosphere with all kinds of neat details and fancy touches.
