(0tt0)The Pit

duel map. Then I turned my attention to the map. As the name suggests, its basically a pit for duels, in an octagonal room, with a higher glass platform for duels with risk of falling off. As duel maps go, it is quite small, but there's still plenty of dueling room. I'm not a fan at all of the giant posters and scrolling black signs saying (0tt0) Furthermore, these scrolling signs are actually visible through solid rock - see third screenshot. What's that about :( The glass platform looks a little odd to, when combined with the textures used for the walls and floor. The floor was okay - the bottom of the pit is glass, slightly raised above a rocky base, with '0tt0' written in giant brush letters. Can i sugegst one thing at least - please clip the stairs (system/clip) texture in radiant - so your view doesn't go all jerky in-game when walking up them, as stairs are actually a slope in all default raven maps, they have an invisible slope going up them. This really is a typical duel map for a clan in my opinion. Sure, for the clan that's fine, but for others I don't think you'll find it very appropriate, but whatever, try it if you like the look of it. Oh, and as I've said before, NOT having bot support in a duel map is absolutely unforgiveable! It really need to be here, especially when putting it in for such a small map isn't difficult - click HERE for the local tutorial. New Textures: Yes New Sounds: Yes Bot Support: No ~Szico VII~
The music was the first thing I really took point of in this map - firstly, it's like a pop song by Matchbox 20, not really duel fitting at all. Not saying it's a bad song, just not suitable for a
