[MAP] Discontinuity v5

[Unnamed]

I used some new textures for this map wich you have to download (10 textures, size ~19MB) and I created two rock models for this map.
This is a small, asymmetric map suitable for ffa, duels and race. A single lap should take 40 seconds. I also added ents for ctf, bb and defend (multi), but I think it is quite unbalanced.

it's a fun one to play. some creative visuals again, but not nearly as hard on the resources as convolution. seems a good free-for-all map. would be good on survivor.

the walls of clip in the giant ravine are a bit of a throw-off though. might want to consider removing those and simply using rock wall with death material. it's also possible to stand on the vent out there (from the outside) near the race part.

the rock formations get complicated in a few spots, leading me to wonder how much more clip might be needed. it could probably use a few more sounds in some areas, a little quiet.

has a good use of blendmaps like resonance though. perhaps Discontinuity could replace Condensation in the rotation for a while (which hasn't been popular at all). just a thought.

This is the first convincing race/dm crossover map, cool.
Perfect use of mode specific mapmodels to block off paths and trigger-particles as wicked traps
Also, I really like the outdoor area with the pillar and the flowing water, it is damn difficult to make that look natural.

The map is really really cool even the "fake" water with the texture but its a little bit confusing that you cant extinguish the fire. And the technical scientific thhings are really cool

One thinkg rework please the clipping, its not the best like how you do it.

EDIT:
Thanks for the new textures! really nice and some are 1024 size! *-*

I uploaded an updated version. The clipping should be better now. I used some invisible mapmodels to do this.

NIce!!

There are still some clip at the walls where you can move without and with clip it looks like moving against air, but its not easy to clip it that it still looks fine, so gooooood jooob!

To the race, its really cool, its it reminded me of Sauerbraten, where you have to walk in such building complexes, *-*, the laser are really, really hard :O and just an idea, place the blue ball and the goal in the tunnel which is on the left when you were to continue to run. Its would be more like, now are you finnaly out of the complex, and a darker blue and the dark light there would support this feeling. I think it would be better as the finish there were it is.

I haven't had a chance to try the map yet. Race maps have a smaller audience too :P

added this to the rotation for play testing. Unnamed, are you certain your package.cfg is configured correctly? getting a texture error in a couple spots from the latest files posted here (if you fix it make a pull request).

the room with the spiral staircase could use a better flow. it would work in sauer, but with parkour existing most of the obstacles in this room just end up getting in the way instead of being used in creative ways. also there are dead ends in a couple spots and generally this doesn't work well for a FFA map. the Race route might need to be re-worked, but personally i'd like to see that room with the spiral staircase opened up to be a much larger area. keep in mind another thing that doesn't work well for FFA maps are too many narrow hallways, spruce it up a bit with some geometry you wouldn't expect like a parallel corridor.

these are just suggestions, however. many seemed to like the map.

v4 released
I made some changes (and new textures):

[shirepirate]

nice, the flow is much better in this version. looking very polished.

the clip in the ravine needs some fixes, it is possible to stand on the top of the cliffs in many areas (and even reach these spots from the main part of the map).

v5 released
I fixed the clipping there and at some other spots.
