[SP] The Chamber of Silence
Quote from Kibate on May 28, 2011, 9:15 amThis map could have worked with just a bsp alone
As for the map itself
first, it was too dark...I can't be the only one who is bothered by all this black and then only a few small lights
the blue gel was a nice idea, but you should have somehow notice us in the map that the blue gel doesn't stick to the black walls, i thought it was a bug at first
the rest was okay i guess
lastly, this could have fit into a smaller map, something so big is just confusing

[spoiler]Is there a way to complete it without using the hovering redirection cube bug?[/spoiler]
If that's the intended way to do it, you might want to rethink it a bit. [spoiler]The rules explicitly say they won't consider maps that rely on glitches.[/spoiler]
Interesting map though, I liked the bit with the gel.

And if you are supposed to [spoiler]cover the lightbridge with blue gel[/spoiler], you might want to make that floor a grate to explain why itself can't be covered in gel.

@Forehad58: I have never even heard of the hovering redirection cube bug, so yes, it can be completed without that.
@Kibate and xdiesp: Thanks for the feedback, I'll take it all on board and will make those alterations in the next version of the map. The reason it's so dark is because I couldn't figure out how to create a single lighting entity that covers the entire room with settings that match the default brightness level/setting after adding in the entry and exit lifts, which is what I wanted, but I'll try and figure it out when I next edit the map.
Once again, thanks for the comments!
