~ 1 hour of work

@Maarten - awesome job! reminds me of WGSpace 1 somehow.

@brullov - is this part of something that actually will be released? Looks good anyway.

Nope, just having fun. Thanks

[Maarten]

Looking cool Brullov, I would play it if you make a whole map of it, heh

Edit: oh, and thanks, Sanek! Right now 1200+ walls...going steady

That's a shame, as it's beautiful.

Thank you! Unfortunately I do not have free time right now.

Next in ADG series

But I wonder if duke has ever gone into a Favela hmm ... not that I remember (?)



Will take a couple of months to get finished however as I'm going to be out of home for a while.

Is really cool to see latin-like locations in a Duke map, I think almost every city depicted looks like a random european/american city.

Agree! Altough Adg06 was based in Buenos Aires, it still has that classic Duke city feeling. I was in Rio de Janeiro last year and one day went through the rocinha favela. Was a really good experience talking about the tour, and as for Duke, I remembered it after releasing my last map and thought it'd be a nice thing to recreate in a new level as it'd probably give some fresh air to user maps
Anyway just around half of the map will actually happen inside the favela Unlike Adg06 I have this one planned from the beginning haha. This map will be really about some places I've visited in Rio past year (but with the favela in a main position)

[Tea Monster]

Nice to see an urban area that isn't American/European!

[Fox]

That's badass.

Also, big fan Glavic.

[Micky C]

Everyone's focusing on the favela but I think those mountains in the background also look really good.

Rio de janeiro has some really interesting geography! Some other places of the map will have a special focus on it, more than the favela

[juvenite]

Mainly as a practice, I'm editing Red Light District, making it a space-themed level.
I'm still a newbie when it comes to mapping so it's probably looking amateurish... Well, we all start from somewhere
I appreciate feedback and suggestions.

I think it looks pretty fresh, nice job.

Dare I say it reminds me slightly of the Arsia Mons missions in the AMC TC

Hey that's a nice idea nice look of a futuristic city. I'd suggest you to use some more aggressive shading, i'm sure it will improve the atmosphere a lot

[Paul B]

The last few months i've been binge watching a TV series. Can you guess which one?

*** UPDATED *** Making pretty good progress, Almost finished the map in a long weekend.

Well that didn't take ya very long. I'm going to try and map out the LA CTU head quarters in an Eduke map just cause you know I'm great at killing frame rate.

like this? I darkened the shadows, if that's what you meant

[Micky C]

If you're going to make it that dark, add some lamps around the place.

Mr Bean?

[juvenite]

Hm, then I think I'll brighten it up a bit. I want most (if not all) lighting to be natural in outdoor areas (if that's even a good idea).

With aggressive shading I mean more difference between bright and dark parts, for example in your last screenshot I'd try making the background wall (the one with the posters) bright to give contrast with the other sides

[NNC]

Rio de Janeiro is one of the many famous locations that was a missed opportunity in World Tour. You should try some E5 textures and enemies for it, and we should have that as an inofficial E5L9. The screen looked marvellous!

I could make it a bit brighter, it's just that not much light is supposed to hit that wall, because of the direction of the lighting I chose to that area.
Maybe I could use the posters as an 'excuse', as I'm working on them to look like holograms projected from the sector's floor, so naturally the walls would also be brighter.

But anyway, I understand what you're saying, I'll try doing that, although darker environments are something that I personally find appealing.

Thanks But anyway i'm not using new textures or anything else. Just classic duke as always

I've been sinking quite a bit of time into this 24 Tv Series CTU level. Of course the more I add the faster my frame rate drops. I'm curious if anyone knows what renders faster, a sector with about 16 vertexes used for shading or a single sprite object used as a replacement to shade? From what I can tell there doesn't appear to be much difference.

I've been told that polymer fps drops when there are lots of red sector lines in view. I would guess that a single sprite would be less of a hit on performance than 16 walls, other things being equal. With a sprite, I would worry about visual glitches and how it will look when there are lit projectiles passing over it and such.

I would also worry that if you are getting a noticeable drop in framerate before you have added monsters etc., then the finished map could be unplayable.
