DB-1on1-Gaga! As the name says it's a 1on1 map.

For such a small map, the filesize is huge. Also, is the wall camera really needed for it? Noone in-game will be watching that since it's a 1-on-1.. The specs are already spectating so they won't watch the wall tv.. just a thought.

a nice first attempt

a few points from me:

the random shark made me laugh.. is there a reason for this?

the ground: you have used a 256 square terrain for the flooring in this arena, many big dm levels dont use terrain that size, thats a lot of polygons for the engine to compute; you'd be better of performance wise (and overall map size) using a brush for the floor.

the lighting of the crowd section is waay too washed out, i changed the ambient brightness (via your zoneinfo) from 255, to 35 and it gives a more realistic (and less eye straining) look.

again, to rant on about lighting, there is 1 light in this level, the rest is lit via zoneinfo or the sunlight actor, using only one source of light can lead to your map looking washed out..

although these may sound quite severe points, its a nice map and shows some potential, gj, ill look forward to the next one

Thank you for the Tips

I've just took Terrain for the ground because i wanted this dirt at the two goal sides and in the middle

Ok the size is too huge lol

looks like you tried to rebuild the db-cube meshes, just with totally weird proportions, they look "wrong" to me, so do their textures

man this map puts you under some pressure! you cant stay in your own half cuz the ball will reset, but you will be killed in the other half immediately

the same effect can be achieved by using textured brushes with alpha layers (see the goal area/ball spawn point in cube)

I used them to see how it should look. They were my first stacic meshes^^
I built them in unrealed o\\

Normally you don't hold the ball 5 Secs in hand cuz you'll make a wallpass or something (when u play Volley only). Then the gets much faster

To the last post:

I tried to do this, but then there was a shadow on the ground, so used the terrain

The brightness of the map + the bad replay cams make my head hurt, would you mind if I touched the map up a little?

The thread's one and a half years old, I doubt he minds

True, but I don't like to do anything w/o permission.

ah, i recall this one. trim the terrain (terrain/visibility) while/if you brush this one up.
