Beach - [PREVIEW]

I recently found the radiant executable again and felt like start making another map

Still very much a beta version; I consider most of the layout done, if it doesn't turn out that it plays really badly, all textures are not what and where I want them yet, and the lighting is only halfway there, but I just couldn't bring myself to NOT make a post about it, so here goes.

I had to, I just had to

Some sneak peak screenshots:

So far it looks very nice.

Feels like a tc map

Great work NRGizeR! The map looks like it's on the right track. Good to see that the mappers are alive and kickin'!

I've also dusted off the ol' quark. So I wouldn't be surprised if there was some new maps around the corner

That's because as you're loading the map, it says made by NRGizeR.

nrgizer is back lalalalaaaa! weeeee!!

Nice with a w.i.p. post and great to have you back in some mapping action. Already at this point the map looks good. I like the environment map and the lightning suiting. I have browsed through the screens several times now and I already have some favorite areas. I want to playtest now!

Keep us posted mate. Bring on the screens!

Me and Flunx got a project to dust of, we just need the free time.

Haha yeah wiz! let's finish what we started already

omg. looks like many new maps are going to be released at the same time. Or with interval few days-1 wee. If wiz and flunks will finish what they started. I am finishing a new map also, and I was testing new pauhi's mpa yesterday which looks great.
Lets release everything at the same day??? Ok, I am joking

About your screens, lightning sucks yet(as you said). But dont you think about changing a sky? I could share some BD

Looking nice! It kinda reminds me of ut_docks, which I always enjoyed playing on public servers some years ago

What exactly is it that you don't like about the lighting? I said it's halfway done, not that it sucks

Don't think I'll be changing the sky, I actually like it, and I've had several positive comments about it as well, so I think that the general opinion is that it suits the map.

Hmm... on another note, I would actually like to make the water non-transparent, since my r_speeds are getting quite high, but if I do, I have several HOM effects under water, I would estimate that there are three or four leaf nodes that get fucked up if I make the water non-transparent. Anyone seen this before? Anyone know how to fix it? My guess is that it's because of my many odd angles that I have under water (in all of the xyz planes...).
