Just taking a look from the shots - It looks like it might be a bit tight and the roof seems really low. No real depth to it. Once and if I do fix my Warsow, I'll give it a swirl.

i hope you continue to support the saw)))

Map is now uploaded to the Warsow E-Sport servers for testing. Thanks to crizis.

Alpha 2 available:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27277779/map_paswdm1_a2.pk3

Changes:

- Added two teleporters - one replaces the JP in the MH room, and one located in the lower areas that takes you to the new MG's position. (formerly GL)

- Replaced various jump pads with (tested) trick jump sections.

- Swapped GL and MG positions. Now a GL user can spam the upper hallway, the hallway behind them, or the lower area - so it's in a better tactical position than before.

- Moved PG to the curved hallway where low 25+ health was. (across from mega) A PG user can spam someone trying to grab mega and head towards the PG or the new tele.

- Moved RL to upper ledge where PG was. This makes the RA more dangerous to grab and allows you to control the player's paths by spamming the various exits when they grab RA while you are here with the RL. This should make for some interesting plays IMO.

- Moved SG to the corner of the upper walkway in the RA room. A SG user can use this position to land a shot on someone who used the new trickjump after grabbing RA.

- Moved LG to the lower hallway where SG was. This should give more of an incentive to travel to the lower corridors.

- Removed the armor shards and 5+ health bubbles.

- Carved out a 45-degree angle between YA and MG so the jump between them isn't as awkward.

- Carved out a 45-degree angle above the LG in the lower corridors to ensure players don't bump their heads jumping down while strafe-jumping.

- Opened up the staircases near RA.

- Opened up various corridors and doorways for a more navigable experience. Removed the 25+ health in the corner near GA. (One concern I have is that there's now a large line of sight from the RA room to the MH room as a result of adding the breathing space, which is partially why it was cramped in the first place - so let me know if there is any adverse affect on gameplay because of this.)

Alpha 2 uploaded to E-Sport servers. Thanks again Crizis! I am very pleased and thankful to receive so much support for the design. Motivation like this is what keeps mappers going.

Alpha 3 available: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27277779/map_paswdm1_a3.pk3

Changes:

- Pipes, pipes, and more pipes! Some trick jumps have been added thanks to the pipes as well. Tested to ensure they aren't detrimental to flow.

- Advertisements added. During beta's I'll add my own images (including ads for my portfolio and some fictional propaganda).

- Removed the grated walkway in RA room, from now on you'll just circle-jump across it.

- Lit up a few areas that were too dark.

- Moved the staircase near YA into the YA room itself. This was to solve a redundancy issue with the paths and also to reduce the paths one can take from the YA. (thanks to m0to)

Bump. If you play Warsow 1-on-1 and have any suggestions to make it better for dueling, please drop by and leave some feedback.

Just had an online duel on the third alpha which was nice. It was rather lopsided though, even with my high ping compared to the opponent I only died once and got 16 frags in the end. I'm sure in a competitive game though where the opponents are of equal caliber, it'll be more even. Still fun to be able to try it out over the net, regardless.

Anyways, right now I'm working on the visuals - going for an industrial theme with lots of yellow pipes and chain link fencing.

Well, here it is folks - the long-awaited Catharsis 1st beta!

Changes:

- Established visuals, added ambient sound effects.

- Removed the wood planks in favor of alternative means of transporation.
The wood planks near SG have been swapped for a teleporter and exit, and
the wood planks next to the GL have been ditched in favor of an accel
pad.

- Moved two of the ads up to less distracting positions and removed the
one in the MH room.

- Moved MH next to the tele exit in the same room as an experiment.
(Thanks to crizis's suggestion)

- Crates added, placed in a way so they wouldn't drastically affect gameplay. Let me know if any seem to be a problem and I'll remove them.

- Added an additional spawn in the MH room. (Thanks m0t0)

Test for:

- Misaligned / broken textures or shaders

- Gameplay issues, esp. those possibly caused by new additions / changes

- Clipping issues

- Stuff

Thanks for checking it out!

Once again, crizis has uploaded the first beta for my map on the ESport Warsow servers, thanks as always!

If any tournament organizers are interested, I'd love to look into having the map tested by professional players for expert feedback. Doesn't have to be dedicated to it, it can be thrown along the mainstream maps to receive input and opinions from the participants. If this idea interests you, contact me.

I think your map will be used in duel cup soon !

tell me whats the last version, just to be sure, I think its named paswdm1_beta2 on warsow esport servers

Sounds exciting! :)

Latest version is paswdm1_b2.

I see some big improvements man, keep up the good work it will be amasing.

I'm no expert with Warsow but it looks nice to me. Although from looking at the shots, maybe there are a few lines of sight that are a bit long and could be made a bit more interesting, by having some more cover in those areas?

Looking forward to seeing what you do with UE3 :)

Thanks for the comment - a pleasure to hear from you! I like the idea of breaking up the lines of sight - I'll look into it.

BTW, you can see some of my UE3 work on my Assault Force page on my website: http://emeraldproductions.weebly.com/assault-force.html

Besides Assault Force, I have some other UE3 stuff cooking - including some experiments with large-scale terrain maps. Things are looking good at the moment in that department.

Assault Force looks cool - action packed and nice amount of vertical action. n1 :)
