lo, took a break from my mod, Backfire: SOM, and started mappin for db again, and this map happened aaanyways, i was looking for some criticism on my new map DB-OilRig. It's DB on an offshore Oil Rig at Dusk. Still got quite a bit of work to do on it, all of which will hopefully be added in the final v. I'd rather not post the beta map bcus i only want 1 version of it in circulation, but i've got some pics: (thx to tim for letting me use his crappy site )

Looks quite promising.

i can see the sky 'box'

you better make your own boxes and dont use these cubes with 6 textures etc, they look totally fake, no 3rd dimension etc, i can't stand em

rest looks good in the pics

Welcome back DavidM. How was your break?

Looks very nice actually, promising idd.

David WB, oh yea the map looks awesome

This one looks good... althought I don't understand why do the skybox textures look like so... There has to be a way to get rid of it...

Lynx why do always have to post stupid things like that?
If you have nothing useful or relevant to say, then say nothing at all.

Yep, didn't your mommy ever told you "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all".

wow, didn't expect such positive responses. i could redo the skybox, i was going to add fog & fog ring to make map blend more w/ the skybox. i see what u mean, does look pretty bad in pics, looks better in-game, but i'll make my own after w/ some dynamic stuff like seagulls or water or something, and prolly cubemap the water. Also, I lost about 5 hours of work on it yesterday. I just added a blocking volume, compiled, and went to test, and ut kept crashing, so i saved, closed ued, and opened ut and opened it from there, and everything worked fine. Then i restarted pc this morning and opened it in ued, and it was blank... when i opened cube it worked fine, then i tried opening oilrig again and it just messed up the lighting of cube... the map was originally about 7 mb's, this morning it was 4 mb's :-/ ne1 know any possible causes / solutions? thx in advance, and to those that replied :p

it still looks awesome and it's different from most maps so im really looking forward to play this one

"If you have nothing nice to type, don't type anything at all"

Sorry, i'm in my ultra-pedantic mood.
