De_Gravel - Gone Beta...

RopeDrink

De_Gravel has Gone Beta!
Yep, after scrapping it lst year I brought it back to life with a few alternate textures, sounds, and other nice little touches...

Details:
Type: Bomb Map
Max Plrs: 10 v 10
Size: Small
Texture Wad: MegaMikeDeus2.wad
Sky: Blue (Rotterdam Sky)
Details: de_gravel, based within a semi-constructed housing estate on the coast of the UK, next to a vastly used Import Train Service. The location is being rebuilt after previous bomb attacks / bomb scares undertaken by unknow terrorist groups in the past.

---

So what exactly has changed since the very first crappy de_gravel!?

+Added New Ambient Sounds
+Revamped map with new textures
+Full VIS Compile has flattened most of the fps problems, but not all unfortunately
+Destructable / bombable objects placed within the map
+Added tremors (Oh and believe me it's class)
+Changed skybox to more or a sun-rise setting, but kept the original lighting so it appears to be moonlit.
+Map gameplay is much like Dust - Both teams collide quite quickly, so bombing one of the two locations may not always be the used option

-Removed excessive textures


It's only a test version basically, and considering it's my first map ever made, don't expect anything breathtaking - I mainly revamped it so it can be utilised for the upcoming VAR 2v2 / Olympic tourney's...

After a bit of testing I'll be adding a lot of prefabs, and making most of the buildings accessable (Generally spicing up the map a bit, and maybe expand it's size to that of Dust2)

The map will be going public on the VAR Server (var.irelandcs.com) soon, and when it is I'll make a download avaliable for everyone to test it out

I'll be concentrating on my next few maps, and they wont be half as ****ty as this

Enjoy

PS. PLEASE IGNORE THE AWFUL R_SPEEDS / FPS It's only a test version

Well de_gravel has been done and dusted - Had a 6v6 beta test on the var server (Yes, it's been uploaded there) and it went down a treat!

Despite the fact that spawn sites are directly next to eachother (Sort of - Lots of routes but the teams collide quite quickly) we had lots of fun and played the map for over 2 hours!

Now, files can be found here at http://www.smackdownwrestling.com/de_gravel/

Both files are needed - Instructions are on the site...
If anyone is interested in a clan match / fart about / or a map test let me / Iceman / Chief or Occy know, and we'll fire up the map...

Sorry about the pics lads, the site builder is pretty fecked up at the moment... All in all the map went down very well - Can't wait to see it again
