Well.. I got tired of working on my other map (code named dod_cool) so I started to work on this over the weekend and its coming along pretty nicely... so I figured I'd show it off a bit...

Looking at the Allied Spawn point:

Looking Towards the Entrance to town:

Well the story for the map isn't done yet.. so I'll add that when I get around to finishing it.. but lemme know what you think.. I know you can't see much.. but just tell me anyway...

looks nice, but it needs LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS. It's waay too dark

omg, those pictures are blinding my eyes. there so freakin bright it hurts my eyes. jeez, i cant even looka t em any more !

looks nice, but its sooo dark :( hard to see what its like with those screenies, though I do like dark maps this could be interesting :)

i think the lighting matches the sky pretty well :D

Lighting looks fine to me, for some reason ppl want maps to have stadium lighting these days..

If its to dark for ya theres always powerstrip.

I hate dark maps because it always gives the axis the advantage.

Ok for all the ppl whining about not enough lights I'm going to add streetlights and stuff, but not in that section based on the fact that its not part of the town and only the allies can be there anyway.. so theres really no point..

Look for more screens in a little while. (hopefully tonight)

well if you do not want to listen to the communities opinions, thats your problem

ill still think its too light lol

its a tad dark m8 not much to see either :) keep goin

--TheCarnage55 -
it was a joke... I am listening to there opinion.. adding streetlights to the city section.. but in the middle of the night during a storm in the countryside.. theres not gonna be much light..

Its coming along pretty well. Try using -extra on your RAD, or even -noskyfix and alot of seperate light_env to create smooth effect shadows, as that looks hard and horrible.

i think the lighting is just fine. keep it llike that.

Looks good to me. There aren't enough dark maps these days.

I agree... keep it up.

well, if he's going to be adding street lights, I think the dark surroundings will actually give it more atmosphere and character.

I like the looks of it. Keep it up!

I predict when (if) the map is released, most people will respond that "its too dark to see", "my brightness is already all the way up"

whatever though. do what you want. if only the gameplay will make up 4 it

a fire could serve as light.... perhaps a burning tree or remains of a house. even a camp fire if you can make one. just some ideas. lanterns even.

well... that is true.

I personally don't have a problem with it... but I'm positive alot of people will.... good point. hm.. Well, hopefully, the lighting will be raised, then.

Sorry for the lack of updates guys I should have some more pictures soon, the lighting is not changing.. I forgot to mention earlier the pictures are compressed from 1152*864 to 800*600 which makes them look a little bit darker. In game its not so bad, and I may do something along the lines of that Camp fire Idea... I'm getting close to adding the main bridge(flag 2 of three) so look for some pics over the weekend.

I like the lighting--it fits absolutely perfect. I dont mind dark maps like this; i.e. Schwetz, or whatever that map is with those castles facing each other, and that bridge flag, with the axis radio thats like "bladdiblai bladi psotion bahebdnbsbaba untesich endour!"
