Uhm, just A picture? No description?
Well, looks pretty decent so far I guess.

Loving the terrain :)

Try to vertex blend the cliffs where they meet the ground though. Very good habit to get into, just makes things seem much more seamless,

Here's a tip. Preview the level and take the screenshots there instead of printscreening UnrealEd.

looking great(now that you got more screens)
I don't have any advice, haven't used UnrealEdit in a while so.

I redid the interior and I'm much, much happier with it.

I decided to expand the interior.
Here's the concept

http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v288/30/120/41113111/n41113111_34347041_6700.jpg (http://www.wku.edu/~wilkidj/maps/unreal/civil_defence_concept_a.jpg)

and the layout.
Hopefully it's clear enough.

The really improves the way the interior plays.

especially the outdoors actually.

DOWNLOAD (http://www.wku.edu/~wilkidj/maps/unreal/DM-Civil_defense_beta_c.rar).
I added a second post proccessing volume on just the interior to make it darker and a bit colder feeling.

I'm pretty happy with how the bots play at this point.

Thanks for the reply.

And thanks to you too tweek, even though I disagree I appriciate you going through the trouble of replying.

It's far more than I've gotten elsewhere.

This map is for the "Old school contest" over at 3dbuzz.
I did get some useful feedback from one guy over there but outside of that I've gotten nothing.

I also posted this at epic's forums and got a single reply similar to Phopojijo's.

This distresses me just a bit because it's a trend I've noticed whether I post here, epic, 3dbuzz, pretty much anywhere I post stuff I get a couple bland replies maybe one or two helpful ones then nothing.

It really confuses me. I see other posts where something is bad and everyone jumps in to say how bad it is and offer ways to make it better. Or it's really good and everyone jumps in to praise it and offer ways to polish it up.
Is my work really so bland that it produces no response what so ever?

I'm just confused as to how I can inspire such apathy.

I just saw your thread on the UT forums and it seems like there was a ton of suggestions made for your map :P

o.0

well gee wiz

I last look at that a couple days ago and it was all the way on the third page.
I had lost hope, apparently I shouldn't have.

well the contest is over now anyway.
Final download here (http://www.wku.edu/~wilkidj/maps/unreal/DM-Civil_defense_final.rar)

They had some good suggestions over there though I've never been a fan of traps.
And since the deadline was only a day or so away when they posted those it probably would have only led me to change the description.

Yea I know -- tried to submit Skyhook in time but it ended up being all crapped out from a crash. Don't even bother checking it out... you'll just spawn into a black void. I'll release it later after I fix it up. Probably for Phase 2.
