emp_batos

My new map emp_batos (pronounced 'bay-tose')

Here are a few screenshots and the download link.




*Download the single .txt and replace the one in the .rar with it(the .txt in the .rar has spawn problems)*

Is that HDR in the first shot, or env_glow? Looks sweet either way.
All I can see to change from the screenshots would be to blend the cliff into the grass on top more smoothly.

Downloading now...

 

This looks cool. It's a district kind of map right? No CV?

 

looks really cool. really really cool.

 

You need to add an emp_batos.res file. I added it on my server so it should host the dowloads properly (except that bugged dl status bar of hl2....).
If you want to do a really good service you should add a http server package too. That means:
Replace the bsp file with its bsp.bz2 zip version.
Replace any texture vtf file with its vtf.bz2 zip version.
Currently im using the following packing programm in order to build bz2 files:
http://www.7-zip.org
-Its very small on hd.
-You can select the compression level and the library size for bz2 files.
-And using it via rightclick plugin in windows.
-It can be used without any commandline.

Im going to take a look on your map later.

 

I'd guess that it's not HDR, unless pickajoe somehow got 1.08 early.

 

Its just the env_sun effect. It shines straight down that hole.

 

You can get HDR in earlier version too you know... It is the vehicle and building models that screw up not the landscape. Also I don't see any vehicle or building models in the screenshot.

 

Oh, I thought it was unable to compile properly.

 

no compiling isn't the problem but rendering the models right with the lighting effect.. The models go all black and shiny :/

 

this is one of the best looking custom maps i've seen

alot of potential

 

Does it work in empires 2.2?

 

every map not specially compiled for OB can crash or weird stuff will happen in it

 

This will not run in 2.2, just tried. Plus this map is not finished.

 

it runs on my server. it just has a few small 'issues'

 

I've never seen this map. If the mapper has abandoned it I'd be willing to bring it up to snuff. My map is done so I need something to do!

 

I'm guessing that no one has the vmf?

 

only got the bsp here and i think this was pickajoe's so you'd have to get his approval first (or so cyber will say)

 

i've got the originals, flounder has gotten his hands on a new map, so we'll see what happens
