First map released: ep2_testcave

Games, Projects

Today I have released my first map to Episode 2. It is also my first custom map to 3d games. (I have done couple maps to LieroX, etc)

As this is my first map, it is not perfect. But in my opinion, for first map it isn’t bad. I have couple of things that I would have done better. Example the orange dev material at start. But I have succeed in couple of things in my opinion well. Enemies are balanced, and there isn’t too never too much of them. And there is still challenge. I also really like how the lights works. Example the cave entrance at first room looks nice.

Most of the people won’t download the map anyway, so I uploaded a video so they can watch it. Please note that the video is one huge spoiler for this level. Watch it only if you don’t want to play the level.

Video with sound at wegame.

If somebody has any comments, please post them so I can make better maps.

Download the map/source files from my project page.

Update (8.3.2010): Added health packages to level and fixed the “wrong name” issue that caused random crashes. Redownload the file.

    Hey,

    I’ve downloaded and installed this map but every time I try to run it Ep2 crashes to desktop with no error message. Do you have another version I can try?

    @PlanetPhillip: Thanks for noting this bug.

    New version of the map is now uploaded.

    Looks like I changed the name of the file after I compiled it, so it didn’t work…

    I also added important health packages to make the level easier.

    Weird… It should work…

    The latest version is at http://pelikoira.net/data/ep2_testcave.bsp

    Delete the old file you had and redownload file above. If that fails also you can download the source files and try to compile it.

    Say if redownloading doesn’t work.

    I’ve tried 3 times and each time the file size is different. I think there must be a problem with your server.

    Can you email it to me?
