Looking good Darker! BTW Have you done anything about how far the cap points are? I know the HUD supports up to 8 now so I does not have to be more then one stage.

Huh, didn't know they bumped up the points to 8 now. No, I haven't messed with the layout at all since a9 (though I will do a little change in the fourth area). I'm not sure if I will either, since I plan on doing a multi round version anyways, though if more people give it a shot when its beta and I get mass scale feedback on how succesful that map is in its current state (or not), then I'll actually be able to make that call.

*fingers crossed* Finishing the first detail pass tomorrow. Still have:

Second detail pass.
Seal map.
Clip.
Fix errors.
Optimize.
Generate custom content and add in (what I can do myself).
Release b1 and find people to make other custom content.

b1 most likely won't include a skybox, or a lot of other fancy detailing stuff I'll do later on when I have a) some more feedback, b) custom stuff and c) more time.

Really nice !

Anyways, finished detail pass 1 yesterday/this morning. Sealed the map too. Next up is detail pass 2, which should add environment detail (stuff between buildings, rocks/shrubs, cleaning up where the sky is, etc). Then its optimization time!












And just in case you'd like to take a look...
