Construction
base: from scratch.
editor: GTKRadiant 1.6.3 (sometimes causes crashes, when I try to build up the terrain triangles... I was often being angry :) .)
other progs: Adobe photoshop , Blender , Milkshape3D , Notepad , Audacity , Irfanview , QToolkit, Q3Ase , etc...
know bugs or
"anomalies": I don't know bugs, which can break the gameplay... (the map has full vis, and fine light's, stupid bot's play well, etc...)
Yes... I know, the terrain is not the best... The shadows makes on it black lines... And not match for the skybox...
(old style terrain, builded up whit triangle brushes like Team Arena terrain maps whit terrain blending technique...)
I'm used lazy clipping on the terrain.
When I'm making this map, I met a lot off error types and I met very often the engine limit's...(vis or leaf problem's)
I ran out of my patience, but I did not give it up :). FINALLY the map was finished :).
build time: about 1-2 months on and off...
compile time / machine: Whit full stages (BSP, vis, light) it takes 3/4 of the day... Compile machine and testing machine was a shitty , bad and ugly HP435 laptop...
