ok kitsune, I will have to ask around about that.

Sure. Or you can look at the map itself in Nexuiz. I actually took a look at it just now. This is the terrain shader that ons-reborn uses (keep in mind it also has multiple layers via alpha map, but I don't think that will matter here):

That shader file is called test3 in Nexuiz. The brush that has the texture on next, is a func_group, and has the following keys:

alphamap ons/ons-reborn-terrain.pcx
layers 6
shader test3/terrain
terrain 1

Some of them are for layer map support again, but I posted everything for the info. Hope this helps

Running from GIT of course.

as requested

Awesome ! I love it !

Files deleted?

huh. I didnt think so.

but in any case, I will be uploading a new version soon, so have no fear.

Downloaded the one off the .bsp compile page, and it worked. Still took a long time to load, but it was worth it

Some textures missing in 0.1 Preview, everything works in GIT though.

I like how you're silent on the grass.

Oooh, stealth mode!

And ofc you added the Fireball

Nice choice on soundtrack.

Graphics are fitting for b2 release!

The Link of version 2 doesn't work. 404...
But this one might be correct:
Version 2 (fixed?)

version 3

Here is version 3. Not many changes, but I did fix a couple things. This version is pretty much final, unless someone wants to add to it. (feel free, just let me know first.)

remove that previous statement, not done with it. not at all.

here is version 4, with more to come.
version 4

the main change I made for this version is I removed the grass, for performance reasons. I may add it back at sone point, after some engine changes.

The glass walls and rails are good additions, however they are too hard to see. They need some kind of rail along the top to show that there's something there.

And the tile underneath the armor is different than the rest, TBH I would use a spawn circle with same texture underneath or even do no spawn indication (same texture would look better in CA or LMS).

Loads fast now

Strange thing. When i try to climb up the ladder from water i fall off the map...

http://ompldr.org/vOTJtbw

@nowego4: i will be making the glass have some kind of reflection effect, like the glass in red planet. also, the tile under the armor was cortez666's doing.

@kunio: that has happened to me as well, and I am not entirely sure I can do anything about it. I am pretty sure that is an engine bug.

the download links are dead...

Solarium: welcome to the garden of madness

I have been working on this map for quite some time now. Mostly because school stuff kept getting in the way, but also because I had a lot of difficulty with the texturing. mostly because I kind of like it with the texturing kind of simple as it is now. everything I tried to add just made it look bad. So for now, I am just releasing it as is, and if anyone has any tips for texturing, let me know because I am out of ideas on this. (i think it looks cool as is :p)

oh, and there are a few things I forgot to do, like some of the stairs aren't finished, and I need to add some more lighting, or AO or something.

anyway, enjoy. I really really like this one.



(these are old screenshots btw, i will update them at some point)

Get it here!
version 1
(OLD)

VERSION 2
(OLD)

VERSION 3
version 3

this version is pretty much final for now.

Shadow,

I'm getting a 404 when I go to http://beta.xonotic.org/autobuild-bsp/so...0ec56c.pk3

Is the latest in the 4/12/2011 map pack? I posted a message in the troubleshooting section about a few of the bots spawning on top of themselves. I wanted to grab the latest map and and see if I still have the issue.

latest should be:

I have taken a bit of a break from mapping over the summer, but I will be getting back into it to finish up this and some other maps.

ok, I'm back to mapping, and am working on a visual update of solarium, to add more color and variety.

would appreciate some feedback here.

Looks good!

There are still some minor texture alignment problems here and there.

Use a target_position instead of a target_location for targeting a trigger_push. Target_locations are used to specify a location in a map.

There are some brushes which need to be caulked more efficiently.

I would appreciate VIS-optimization.

this map is pretty awesome

I've been playing a fair bit of 1v1 on this map recently and really like it.


The textures on this bit of grass are quite stretched (it's even more apparent with lower texture quality).

I think having the nex, mega health and mortar all close to one another makes it a bit too easy to control the map just staying around that area, occasionally venturing out to the mega armor. I'd suggest maybe swapping the mortar with the electro to try to change this.

It might also be nice to add a ramp jump near the spring, to make it easier to get up to the level of the crylink without having to laserjump or slow down for the spring.

Nice map.

its one problem with patches, readjusting texture is incredible hard

in earlier versions there was a ramp

Woohoo! The latest version didn't blast a hole in my GPU!

dang. i guess I will need to remove some of the optimization then :p

heads up, the version here is no longer the latest, and I probably won't post an update for every minor revision. if you want to make sure you have the latest, just check the list here:
