Introduction:
First of all - thank you for downloading my stuff :)
This is the first map I ever finished. There where countless attempts, but I never made it to a "final" stage. This map won't probably reach high FPS on every sytem, since I pretty much messed around with curve-patches on the outdoor area (I pooped curves there). Nevertheless it runs at 90 FPS constantly on my system (Acer Aspire 8735Z, Pentium T4500 dualcore @ 2.3 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce G210M 512MB which is even the machine on which I compiled this map). The intention on this map was to try to get a real mean gothic look and feel, although you might find most elements differ from "real" gothic architecture. I was going for a handy 2vs2 map for small fun-lans. The light-style turned out rather darkish, and that was on purpose. I think the mood would really suffer here from more luxels and I love those dark fire-illuminated places. The skybox is most experimental, so don't look too close. Actually it was the first time I ever used a skybox, so I'm kinda unskilled here. Oh and btw, I know that -faster -fastbounce and -fastgrid are DON'T-DO's in light-compiling, but since I'm the most unpatient guy in the world I just set those switches. Feel free to flame me now =)
Hope you enjoy playing this map! Feedback is most welcome!
Best regards
MBT
