gr_skylands

[Mr. Darkness]

Hello again, guys.

What am I going to show you is gr_skylands map that I decided to do for GunRun gamemode (even if its devolping for now)

I thought that the server has only 1 skyland map so decided to do an another one.

I wanted to name this map differently first. I wanted to call it gm_aircliffs, but thought it would be better to call it how its now.

The map is under devolpment. I made only first steps.

The map runs on ep2 engine, so I will try doing my best with pakrating.

For now the map contains:

- A few flying islands

- 4 soundscapes, that are heard on each island

- cubemaps (obviously, will remove some, too bright)

- some easter eggs

- cloud effects

Need to be added&fixed:

- 3d skybox

- more islands

- some more easter eggs

- need to fix the water with trigger over it

- need to fix the water height on botton so you cant see the sand

Here are pics and their comments.

1st pic: The view from top

2nd pic: Same as above

3rd pic: the sand bug :S

4th pic: top cliff's small basin

5th pic: the bottom room on the top cliff

6th pic: path to easter egg >

7th pic: same as the first two

8th pic: view from bottom (damn I love it)

9th pic: Clouds

10th pic: basin.

EDIT: Yeah, I know, the light is ugly.

The islands look a bit squareish, otherwise I like it.

Yes I saw that the top island is square-ish. Just forgot to "paint geometry" on their corners.

EDIT: and thanks

EDIT2:

The map is under devolpment. I made only first steps.

Are you using particles or smokefumes?

Also, some of the little islands look like you subdivided a square. You could at least given them a little bit more depth.

Looks nice.

Good job!

[Mr. Darkness]

Compile fails. I made some improvements, but the compile process still fails. I optimised the map a bit with occluders.

waiting for successful compile...

So much fog. Not gonna get laggy?

[Mr. Darkness]

you mean clouds? If yes, then i changed their size. In standart size they dont lag. I changed it only because the clouds looked ugly.
