UPDATE:

- Updated Sky problem
- Smoothen up the wall and floor textures:


Download: HERE

The map and the sky look really nice, but they don't look so futuristic. I think it has to do with the textures.
Anyway, nice job.

yeah ok, it's not that futuristic

Maybe more shiny textures?
Also, put some more lights on the map, it looks a little bit dark.

Waiting forward to see the changes.

It's a cool map. It doesn't fit the theme, so it likely won't be included in xonotic, but that's okay. It has its own character.
It looks like there are possibilities for jumps with ramps and small chasms. Are these possible?

Right now it looks good but I think you used too much of the same textures/colors everywhere and that everything is a bit too squarish and cubical, if you varied some textures and worked a bit on architecture and details I think it could fit Xonotic's style, as it could easily be made to look futuristic.

The flow seems good altho it's hard to say from screenshots, would have to actually test it to comment on gameplay.

Good job so far, sir.

there are jumppads (pic 4/6) and (pic 5)

and I will work on it.

Thanks for the comments.

Think the map looks fine personally, good work

good to see your using nice high res textures!

you might want to use some more textures on the triangular parts and maybe some flat textures on the flat parts, you want to avoid having textures that don't fit perfectly

40mb..... how high res we talking about?
...
Ahhh, lots of textures in here.... you didn't use them all did you?
Are they available for general use?

I played it. It's an interesting map, fun to move around on. However, I got half my usual fps on it. It also seems you've disabled weapon waypoints. How come?

The sky. It's because that sky ( made by Cuinnton) is much better quality then the ones before.

try to play with (r_sky 0)

I included my texture packs with in it yes, use them if you want.

What about the weapon waypoints?

I don't know, what waypoints?

Good job Kay nice map, im wainting for try it on 1v1
your youtube channel is awesome, all nice songs, path98, scanning.... but i see the map with reflective
thx for your job

Thanks!, and thank you for subscribing!
but that isn't reflective, it sounds a little like it yeah.

Here is a version without the extra textures.
http://pisarowitz.com/Xonotic/imogen_beta.pk3

When pressing a key bound to a weapon, a waypoint indicating that weapon pops up. This doesn't happen on your map.

I don't know how. could someone help?

The map needs more work/ details


you could make a wall here, thats avoid the dark hiding area.



the sloped area looks from the top ok but when look from the buttom on it its better if its flat.



The map needs more eyecandy you could build a steel structure around it.

Btw are you redoing evilspace too, because i found a evilspace2 texture folder in the map

thanks for the tips and yes I am

About 10 people played this map (the beta version) on House of Deathmatch (HODM) server about an hour ago. Some people said it looked plain, but everyone loved the skybox. The map seemed to play pretty well, even with 10 people.

I agree with cortez that the map could use more eyecandy.

Does it need to be 27MB? Seems a bit bloated. Are all of those textures being used?

(Also, you may want to update your first post to include the beta link.)

Nice to hear that it played well. but if we want to make high res maps then they will be bigger.

In this beta version everything is deleted what i didn't used in this map.


the .pk3 file you see there on top is the final size.

and I will work on the tips from Cortez.

for eye candy, you could try adding support beams on the corridors, and maybe something on the outside of the structures.

like this?

and also, above the whole map, you could add 2 parallel overhead beams maybe with a similar shape for continuity, that go over the whole map.

maybe with some lights on the bottom. (ignore the dots)

I tried to make a futuristic map which fits Xonotic.
I used High Res textures and that awesome sky
