thats one sweet effect.
With the combination of lightning, the shimmering lights and the sounds, it definately looks the stuff.

Good job.

*now to look in the editor to see how you did it :evil: *

Sorry guys and gals. Just implemented a few minor bug fixes and uploaded a revision 1 version. I also added some greater variablity in the thickness of the lightning strikes.
Yeah. I know you are all going to say I should have put it in BETA buy hey, I didn't want some unscrupulous person pinching my lightning and using it before I did.
:mad:It is quite time consuming and tiresome trying to find little bugs in your map.

They don't take the Key of health, the UD, and a Small armor. And they could play much better. That's on version 1. I didn't have time to play the 2 version. I don't even no if it's out. And Morphias. If I say that the bots have problems, it is because they have problems clear. They can't get those items there is no pathing there.

The only pathing problem for bots is the nuke, there is no paths to it, so bots won't get it, but everything else is pathed as far as I can see in the editor.

The UD is pathed fine, and the bots get it everytime it appears.

I think you need to ask Gargorias, and tell him where you found the problems you are stating, because I can't see them.

The UD is NOT pathed, the Key of health is Not pathed, the armor50 on top of the hill Not pathed. What are you playing at. Opend ED and you will see. I pathed it myselft. You have some hill or something and the on top of them you have the UD, the other the Key of health and beside it, a small armor of 50. I Open ED and it whas not pathed, so I did it. And know every thing is fine. Sory man the rong map:loopy: I have so many maps to look I thought that it whas another one. In the same theme, Sory man. I didn't take a break long enought. If I find the map, I will tell you the title sory again man :hammer:

Ok I've got it. It whas the same map. For me they almost look all alike I mean the outdor maps. But it whas the first version. Know you don't have those sorte of hill that whas there before. And every thing it out of there. I will check the bots on this one.

Ok I look at a game of 10 minutes. And I have never seem a bot take the reedemer, the UD, the armor of 50, and the sniper riffle. I have open UD3. And it figure why they can't. The pic is another one that I started. But whit the same result. But it is damn easy to fix.

I don't know where but I just downloaded this map from somewhere, I think mapraider said "You may also like..."

Anyway The lightning stuff is very unique indeed but the FPS suffers from the lack of further beta testing.

Any chance of making another revision or maybe a new map from scratch with your lightning effect in it?

It'd be a shame to never see that effect on any server.

Sorry for digging up such an oldie. But it's worth a second look.

Sorry Spiff I dug it up from ancient post, but I do wish he'd take another look at the map FPS is a bit rough but it could be great.

:o Yes this sure was a bit of a bummer with the FPS. All those high detail fluid Surfaces didn't help either. I think my optimization skills have improved a little bit since then so perhaps I will get around to making another version with smaller, less open areas. I sort of got a little carried away with this one but thanks for the interest cUnNiNg_StUnTs :)
