A nitpick only, but it would perhaps be better if you took a selection of the skybox from an image editor and apply a gradient instead of doing that from within the game, damn eggshape. Also, nice work on that typo. =P

is the game mode supposed to be DMSP? because even in single player mode with slow motion on the game announces DMSP. This is a big problem due to the fact that many of the monsters will spawn outside of intended playable areas in your map, thus making it impossible to kill all of them or progress through doors that are locked due to monster count.

Always nice to see a SP map!
I got stuck on ff_start after the "training sessions", but I'll try again tomorrow. The script doesn't seem totally perfect yet. Also some error message appeared between the blue instructions? (To be continued...)

Hello Guys,
first of all I would like to say that it is really great to see someone creating SP maps.
I used to play a lot SP, but some when I reached a level, where I had played everything there was to play.
I am really excited to be able to play a new SP map one more.

Today I used some of my free Time to test your map and It was really fun and quite challenging,
however i found some bugs and thought about some changes that might be able to improve the gameplay.
They are not sorted and probably contain a few spelling errors (I am not a native speaker and have a very hard time dealing with spelling anyway :/). Also they are verbalized pretty rude and contain some suggestions that are really hard to implement (I have great respect for anyone who can do Modeling or texturing with Cube and a 'ingame-voice-operater' is not something to be expected from a Mapper). I hope you don't mind and I hope the list will be able to help you.

(The other stages follow, when i have time, this took me about 2 hours :D ).

######### INTRO:

- Text is nice, but it would much improve the gameplay to have a voice saying the text, while the player moves to the start.
- Triggered sound mabe?
- Generally there is a lack of amiance sound
- Doors opening and closing sound without reason
- The update stuff in the first level is pritty boring, what about some ship goes crazy action?
- Mabe a subquest to reper the generator or so
- Gui is a little boring, use binds instead?
- In the first level the 2 spacecrafts before the moniotor glitch through the wall.
- First screenshot, Spacecraft glitching through a agyptinan pillar?
- (Bio Laboratory) It's quite hard to find the triggers that make show up the textboxes.
- I suggest Trigger when entering the room, that actiavtes a voice and a gameplay mechanisim mechanisim that makes the player stay in the room
- The second time i did the first level I still had to bruteforcw how to activate the platform.
- Make the generator-trigger activation only
- The texturing in the docking section looks a litte wierd to me, especially the wall with the cabels.

######### START:

- (Mission one setting) After killing the spieders and orcs it still tells me to have one training session

######### Capter One - Morning Hell:

- The envirement outside looks unnatural. I Suggest:
- Making the rocks smoother (press H to highmap)
- Also the rocks schould have oneother texture
- You can paint (dunno how) the grassless way to make the border between grass and way smoother
- There where some places where I was able to see the monsters with their tps. You should hide them.
- Also there are some places where you can clearly see the border of the map. Simulate a hill?
- The spiders pritty much immidietly kill you. You should add some warning and mabe give the player some time to look around. Also you should not place in a way that they attack from the back.
- You should add some parts, where the player learns what models are used for explosives and what are not
- The dialoges can be closed, to avoid confusion you should create a pre-game gui where the difficulty can be set for the ENTIRE campaing.
- You should use movaples rather than mapmodels for most situations.
- Having many monsters attacking you in an envirement with lots of Free space normally leads to the Monsters killing themselves (bad AI, you can enforce this with a little training), you can work around this res\
triction, by:
- Providing less space/ improving the strategical aspects of the area (more obstacles...)
- Deploying less monsters per wave while increasing the number of waves.
- Angel moved to the side and stuck in the ground?

Well, here is the next batch;
If you need any help (concerning sound, cubescript, textures or map models, fell free to contact me. And if you need help with the cube modeler, I think I have just the guy for you :D ).

--

# START:

- Traning mode is always on fist mission

# Capter 2:

- There is again one spot, where i can see and kill the enemies
- IDEA: Implement an item view?
- CBS Structure witch gives a list of items
- Display and apply with an key-bound menu
- Applicationability is detected with triggers (run into a trigger => must be in the area, run again into it => not any more)
- Additional items
- Sleeping monsters (deactivate monster spawn for a certain time
- Temples, that provide item-triggered weapon lockers, monster spawners (useful for trickjumps) and other items and so
-item-triggered shortcuts and bonus areas
- item triggered traps for monsters (and for players - fake temples? )

# Chapter 3:
- First part is currently very easy (jump & run, do not shoot)
- Generally you should use oneother earthz texture
- You shoudl add more red/yellow light in the site-staircase
- Nice box-in-front-of-lever trap ;-)
- Better use textures for the cryptic writings in the 4-doors and levers room
- Make the altars actually glow, mabe use particles
- USe levers in the curch (This is pritty cryptic)
- The dialogues open without pause => Im being attaced while in a dialogue
- You can improve transitions from stone to grass by making the stonne a little higher
- There is a sudden border between 2 types of grass in the gravejad you get to by jumping above the main altar
- Fog appears to be to near, you could also make it brighter and have it near you to make it real fog
- Difficulty makes huuuge jump down below with all the spiders
- Reduce numbeof spiders

uploaded an updated package. some minor improvements still pending.

very interesting map! i didnt play the whole map yet, but theres really a lot to read. you got some cool ideas and the story isnt bad, but sauer players are just used to running an gunning and not to reading text >:D besides that you should work on the details, it doesnt look that detailed and good yet but i get extreme frame drops on showdown for example. i got a gt220 and i get 20 fps in bf3 and ~200 fps in most release maps). you still got a lot to do but this map has great potential! good luck! :D

I need help from a quadropolis admin:

it seems there's no way to complete the package upload (size is 9.6mb) - for smaller packages the upload works correctly.
Temporary added a dropbox link, but i wish publish the package directly on quadropolis. some ideas or help?

thanks

ok, thanks.
i think i can't reduce the package size so it will be available only on dropbox.

>there are still several twists and turns in it.
i agree. the alpha version was really poor, now just little better.
Next steps are improving textures and scripts (included suggestions, messages in-game and sounds) and monster rails.
