Much better! The map looks great from the screenies.. Well done buddy.

Looks great! Im going to download right now!Good job!

I tried the map and thought highly of it but I have a little bit of improvements in mind that could be addressed to make gameplay better.

- The CTF flag placements seem in pretty bad spots. The flag shouldn't be in rooms that only has one exit or entrance.

- Would be nice to see areas like the staircases leading to dead ends opened up and turned into more pathways to flag and bomb site.

Yea, i dont know if this is actually based on the town Zakopane, Poland because ive been there many times and i think that the map has a little too mazy areas, its not that crowded that the stairs stop somewhere but the buildings look very much like the actual ones there since the town hasnt really modernized much in terms of architecture. What you need is some mountains, huge mountains in the backround, in the actual town, it has large hills on one side, and mountains on the other side. All in all, great map buddy!

Pacinolife, thanks a lot for the tips, I'll work on opening up the ctf, I'm thinking the church courtyard and the outside of the railway station maybe? I will also fix some of the dead ends and stairs.

Boltriflemaster, it actually started in my head as a town in Germany, but I got the name idea from BODYGUARD(RF), so I must have just gotten lucky with the architecture, I didn't actually use any photos of Zakopane. At this point I don't think I will change anything major, although I guess the name could be changed.

Thanks a lot for everyone's comments.

cheers

You should add:

level._effect["lantern_light"] = loadfx("fx/props/glow_latern.efx");

just before

maps\mp\_load::main();

in mp_zakopane.gsc

in order to make your (nice) map compliant with mods such as AWE and perhaps eXtreme+.

Nice work BTW.
