[DM]8-bit Arena DM NEXBALL CTF

A very small, experimental map. You might have seen pictures and a video here on the forum.

I cant say anything about gameplay yet.

But this map definetely looks awesome!

+1

For me it is an eye candy, I am dying to play that map.

1st: Above link isn't working
2nd: I've found it at http://beta.xonotic.org/autobuild-bsp/8b...f97757.pk3
3rd: Awesome looking map
4th: Preview image is missing
5th: the "portal" doorway edges have the awful "checkerboard" texture. Probably forgotten it?
6th: Console writes:

Wow, wuzzy, such usefull first posts are scarce!

But about the map, I played a game on it (overkill dm).
-Layout is perfect.
-Gameplay on this map is very funny, and really fast. The middle is a sort of pit of death and the ring is a place to restore some health.
Didn't see item placement yet. That's the only thing that might be a little hard here. If you don't watch out the one who picks up the mega is in a huge control, and will easily continue spawnkilling.

Wuzzy, thx for the input!

Mapimage should be there, but I've made amistake in mapinfo file, that's why it doesn't show up in the menu.
However, the texture should be there, are you sure you've loaded up the right pk3?

Also, CTF, ONS, and NEXBALL!!! version is coming. Stay tuned!

*BUMP

New version in first post.
Optimised visuals, fixed some issues, ready for playtest.

TRIPLE POST FTW!

So, new version up. Please, test the map locally, as Cortez and me had some odd stuttering in local in CTF/NExball mode - online, I haven't experienced that.
Please, report if you have that, and how bad it is.

I just tried it locally and the performance is really bad. I think 20 fps is the maximum that I got.

DM or teamplay modes?

Ok, thx to divVerent and tZork, we've found the issue, that we could effectively work around (almost really FIX), new pk3 might be up soon with fixes!

Here's the pk3:

http://beta.xonotic.org/autobuild-bsp/8b...4f54e0.pk3

CTF. With this current version it improved to 30 fps. DM used to work fine some versions ago so I did not try that.

DM should really not suffer from any of those issues, as the rest of the map simply doesn't even get rendered or spawned at all.

pics.nexuizninjaz.com seems to be down for me.. imgur.com is a nice image hoster, too

just use look at the pictures of the latest version of this map

cool, thanks

I today played this map with ultra settings, and omfg, it looks awesome. Everything worked fine, and I didn't find any issues.

I think it definetely should become an official default map.

Yay! I'm glad you liked it
Though there's still some work to do on the map, I realy hope I can find time to finish it in the next 2 weeks, so it'll be merge requested before X-Mas

Yay, X-mas presents!

But seriously, even maps on games-you-have-to-pay-for don't look that nice. And that with a budget of 0$, unbelieveble.

I would love to see this arena in Quake 3!
