I don't know anything about these so-called r_speeds. But since I thought it was a quite neat map, however most hastily made (there are a lot of errors), I thought I could check them out.

At the corner by the small field of grass there are r_speeds bordering onto 3000. As mesto has 2000 I assume that this is a bit too much, and that people will have performance problems.

Please, I don't know what I'm talking about, so fill me in here if you have any brains.


lightning-edit: If you stand in the corner alongside the water the r_speeds are approximately 3150.

Yeh.. R speeds raises up to 3000 very easily when you have large outdoor areas.

But r speeds aren't so big problem novadays since ppl have better machines etc.

3000 is too much, I agree.

And what comes to errors (bugs?) I'm too lazy to fix every possible texture/brushproblem :)

Well, jazzie, this is just a huge weird kinda bug:

The design is nice though, but because all of those transparant things, its just unplayable for ppl who play aq2 in software mode...

Dunno about those saloon textures, they should be like correct.

whoo, someone else playing with SW :) i really think mapmakers should think about softers too, i mean, none of the classic maps have problems, but they are played more than any others :)

in any case, looks good. good job, and keep it going :)

Yes it does, and why did you put an func_wall there anyway? func_walls are mainly used in game as for example force fields in vanilla q2. I.e. walls that you can turn on/off with a trigger...

Jumping through the map I've spotted: terrible r_speeds, misaligned textures, missing textures, corrupted brushes (my guess is that you're either a Qoole user and have saved alot, or that you don't use the grid), and overlapping brushes.

I don't know if you haven't spotted these, or if you just don't care, but designwise this map really isn't the best one out there... :m00:
