Outpost teaser

Just a bunch of screens as I work on new content for the map (I've finally roughed up a bunch of models to use as lighting sources.)

Note that the church is still empty, I may close this area off to release a beta dm_ only version (the church will play a large part in br_ mode).

Visually speaking, this is shaping up to be a very pretty level. Looking forward to a beta!

I just hope it plays well, as I've never actually played an online match of SG. Just bots... and the bots are... well... cabbage.

I'd advise you to release a beta (of the BR preferably) as soon as possible so people can start to try it out, I'll be happy to test it. That way we can see how it all works tactically and if some tweaks need to be made etc.

BTW, from the screens so far, this map look beautiful, great work.

PM me if you need our Australian-based server up and running with this map. I think we'd be the only server within 100ms of NZ, but we don't leave it running full time.

I could probably rustle up a few local players for testing as well if there's enough warning.

Just a couple more screens :

dm_ test version in about a week, br_ test about a week after that.

Sorry, I completely forgot about a birthday (my own) that occurred last week. Mapping time was taken up with alcohol abuse and then several days of recovery.

Expect a test version in a the next few days.

This is NOT a gameplay preview in any form what-so-ever, just a preview to show the current state of the map (not the latest build either).

If anyone has any ideas about what they would like to see in the map I would love to hear them as I'm having a bit of a mental block right now (hence the lack of a real preview).

It has been developed inside SG1.1 beta with Joe Kari's updated Alamo build, so there may be a couple of missing textures. Sorry.

I've still yet to build the underground area, expand the graveyard (will contain a crypt with a 2nd br_ cash grab area), and revamp the large white building (no longer a church).

I can say it now, that this will be my favourite map. I like your idea. As you said some textures are missing, like the top of the boxes, and there are lighting problems. But it's really nice.

I love the way you light the map Wink

Thanks guys.

I've not had terribly much time to work on the map recently as I've been quite sick.

Hopefully I'll have some more progress to show towards the end of the week.

Looks very nice Steve! If you add an underground area you might think about not getting too complicated with it. The map as it is now feels large to me... even though it isn't.
Nice layout. Looks like quality work all around.

I hope to finally post some news in the next day or two. That should get you some more feedback.
