I finally got it and played, gj I like this map, original and fun to play, especially when you fall down (I laughed a lot when I pushed Ravage with my hammer and died cause of the ion cannon)

*-*-*

but there are 2 negative points (to my mind) :

1° the texture of the floor in the centre is a bit too streched, isnt it

2° Oh noooo where is the music ?!

I use to play with full sound and music but if there is no music, I may get bored even if the gameplay and the architecture are well made !

*-*-*

(chez moi on appelle ça jouer avec la zikmu à donf

private joke)

Hmm...
1) Any other tex to put in??
2) Man, I always forget about that... And I'm kinda bad in picking music. I'll try to find something.

That's exacly the reason it aint final...

EDIT: UPDATE! This time with music

Ah thats better now !

Just another thing, you put an AmbiantSound but its volume is too low, why not boosting it a little (ie sound volume on 255, or full volume, or simply duplicate the ambiant sound) ?

Here's a few things to consider.
1- Raising the antenna to a platform above the stair landing so people can fight on or travel over the stairs better.
2- Add a trigger at the control panel for triggering Ion cannons pointing upwards so players can kill anyone grappling around above the main platform.
3- Add solid supports below the main platform to add some mass to the structure.
4- Add trim to the edges of all the walkways for a more finished look. Yellow/black 'Danger' stripes maybe.....Safety is important even in a killing arena. X_FutureTech1.utx has that texture if you decide to try it.
5- If you want to really spice up the looks, you could have windows looking out into control rooms or outer space or even underground caverns..... anything to make it look like your in something substantial.

You're getting better.... keep at it bro.

1)It isn't really meant for fightning...

2)Ya, I was thinking about it... I had something else than Ion Cannons in mind though

3)I want it futuristic, that's why there aint no solid supports... Makes for like "WTF-material-is-this-it-can-hold-up-on-its-own" look. Something like... The room in X-Men?

4)Thought of it... But dunno if I'll put it on. I like danger

About the tex... I know. It's my favorite texture package

5)No. I want this thing to look like it needs very controlled conditions. Windows aint good for controlled conditions. Just like in X-Men!

I found your map at mapraider

Ya, uploaded it... It's active already?
