Your opinions of Vertigo...

[OldBlindBob]

I'm working on a new Frag/Scorematch level for SS, and I thought I'd make it more interesting by using multi-gravity.
The level is designed for 2 - 4 players, and is made of two 'decks' one above the other that you can jump between using the blue bounce pads (see pics). Among the others there is a different heavy weapon on each deck, grenade on one and rocket on the other. In order to make players cross between decks, the ammo is kept seperate from the guns, for example the one deck will have a rocket launcher but grenade ammo forcing you to cross over to get rocket ammo.

Here you can clearly see the layout of each deck

This is my first SS level and I'm interested in getting some feedback on it so I can make it as fun as possible before I finish and upload it.

Holy cows, this looks so cool! I hope you'll manage to implement it. Regarding weapons, don't forget using grenades- the effect of gravity on them is very amusing.

[RamblinMan]

A suggestion: Only have weapons that are not hitscan in the map. Have lots of rockets and lasrs and grenades and cannonballs flying around. It'll be great fun! Snipers would only be able to use lowly colts.

You CANNOT use this map as a base to build new levels.
Please, create new maps on your own from scratch!
DO NOT include this map in a mod, dm pack, or any
release you call your own, without my permission.

same sky box with no stars below
same textures
same trim on centre platform
same basic design

mmmm
i have too say kma has a point here,these maps look very similar,check it out.

[Caid]

i thought so too, kma

it loosk fun though, don't turn into a foxer, just get him to give you credit

[OldBlindBob]

Ok so it looks like stratosfear, but I actually based it on TitanArena from UT!.
As for the skybox, it's the karnak skybox that come with the editor - I'm hardly copying if its something that is there as standard. The textures are standard SS ones, I think it was karnaksand, with a blue color filter on it. I built the level from scratch anyway, the only thing that I did use were the lights on the lower platform, which are also from TitanArena anyway.

As for Stratosfear, wow! it's a damn good level but dispite the similarities of my level to it I can assure you I didn't use it as a base. You'll find that out when you play my level :)

There are similarities... But the colors and design are completely different.

k bob

startlingly similar though
made me choke on my dinner when i saw the post

sorry if i rocked your boat there
let me know when u have a beta to test

[Ebenol]

looks nice. perhaps you should use space skybox instead? Might look cooler.

[OldBlindBob]

I was thinking of using the space box, but i'd have to remove all of the lens flare, cause there's about 8 or 9 different flares on the box!

[Ebenol]

Then do so.

Glad you ladies could sort it out :)
