His second map, not optimized yet.

Looking good from the screenshots! I'll test it out later and post my feedback :)

It does look very good from the screenshots, will hopefully have it up on our server later for a test run.

screens look awsome.

Just had a quick run around on a lan and it seems to be a cracking map, nice fairly simple layout, with some alternative routes. It also looks really good too.

There are a few points where i had some fairly major fps drops, from 130 to 40, mostly at these 3 areas -

*huge screenies, sorry

Apart from that it seems excellent and im looking forward to playing it.

okay this is what I find:

map layout looks good, map itself looks really pretty. installer in in spanish but even if no habla espanol just do the normal clicks and it will install.

Now the bad part. Optimization - not so much. Standing in the spawn there is an 90 point difference in frame rate depending on what way you are looking. keep in mind I'm using an ATI 9700 pro / 2.3ghz CPU / 1 gb RAM, and on most maps, standard or custom, I average 40-60 FPS with 24 people playing. On this map if I look to the middle of the map, I get 14-24. that's with nobody else on the server.

Here is a pic showing the difference - stood in one spot, just did 180 degress turn that's all

Also, there are some texture problems in some places, although this does not seem to be a huge issue for most of the map

*EDIT*
hehe I just noticed warlord's post - so it's not just my puter :)

We all knew it wouldn't be optimized, so I can deal with the horrendous performance. However, the nice looking terrain is wasted by unimaginative routes and boring predictability.

I really think some more pathways need to be considered, as well as opening some 2nd story rooms with ledges/windows/balconies, etc.

For a first map though, really nice work. I'm sure you'll get it optimized soon.

Will check it out. Thanks for the tip, PROPEN!!

And yes it is predictable, the big "S" pattern with a side route or two. Still I can't find fault with that other than to say it's been done 500 times already.

good map

but FPS so low...

We will wait until it's optimise before even considering it. walking the map and I knew it would not be playable. it shutter to much with like mentionned before a 90 FPS drop.

Not acceptable and not playable in its current state. Why making a public release if it's not optimised???

Anyway good luck on optimisation. Like other said, map look good and layout too. I will look at fututre release.

Sorry, still the map is not playable in it's current state. anyway maybe a future release will address FPS.
