Beta Map KF-MountainPass_Beta1

[Deniz]

I wish this map wasn't so dark. Have you considered a less cloudy daylight setting?

Lighting levels will be looked at. It's hard to get it right the first time with this funky monitor.

Plz beside the nise KF-Mountainpass could you make a KFS-Mountainpass as well ^^?

KFS is story, like say The Hive and Degeneration. So a map where you move from a to b to c to complete some objectives. Rather than only hold out.

I, too, second the notion that the map is too dark. The lighting itself appears to be fine, but there's a dark blue filter/overlay/whatever effect that blots the whole screen. The first screenshots you attached look quite nice and balanced as they are, but of course that's not what the map actually looks like in-game.

What do you mean its too dark?

It looks fine on ours!

Great looking map!

Reminds me of a stage in dragon ball budokai tenkaichi and the Blood Harvest stage in Left 4 dead

Seriously, this map is freaking epic! Feels like the heavenly love child of The Mist (which always did remind me of Half-Life) and a pseudo-Silent Hill.

Cannot wait for the final release. Please be sure and get it white listed.

This just won the honorary title 'A Mongolian's Favorite Map'.

Turning up gamma makes it look like it does in the screenshots.

I think that's maybe your color correction wich is activated. The color correction in the KF engine, is directly linked with your fog. I don't know if you know that.
You can try to set in your zoneInfo "NoColorCorrection" (or something like that) to "True".
Be carreful, because the colorCorrection is only visible ingame. You can't see your final render in the editor.

Things could possibly, and I do stress 'possibly', be lightened. Just pleeease be sure and leave the eerie/cloudy just before dawn look. That I do believe is what really sets the mood.

So slight enhancements are all this map needs imo. Absolutely fantastic map though.

Reminds me a lot of Half-Life 2.

Yup, I'm aware of this. Just doing some tests to see if I can get it to look good.

Hello.

Hello.

First off great map. I may have to take a look at the editor to see how you did some stuff. So I can learn how to do it myself.

I did however find one problem. In one of the node spawn area's built into the overpass. Several stalkers where stuck. Like 9 of them. We where able to kill them off as they stuck a head out just far enough. However it still may be an issue to look at. See image below.

I'm just finishing up Beta 2 over the next few days and wanted to get any last minute input before I release it. Here's the current list of things I have changed.

+ Added some additional zombie spawns to make the road harder and force players into the woods more often.
* Changed the overall lighting and KF colour correction values.

* Modified the uppermost entrance of the road tunnel to prevent a minor exploit involving a door.

Hey.

Hey.

Look forward to it. Loved this map in the first form. As soon as I see it posted I will put it on my server and give it a whirl.

I would love to play the next beta!

One of the best maps I've ever seen, can't wait b2 release...
Please, make night version of this map for hardcore gamers (realistic darker as possible to motivate use flashlights).

 

[[TW]DrGuppy]

I might make a night version some time after Phase 2 is over.

I'll be waiting, thx.


P.S. When expect beta2?

I think a night version would work even better. It would have the scarey Blair Witch Project feel like Trailofwoods.

I don't understand why people don't made night versions of maps. There is no fear when you can see and shoot enemies from a distance.
I have to change lighting on the maps and change the location of spawnpoints to achieve the desired effect. It's nice to see reaction of players appeared on the map in the darkness and solitude.
But it valid only for large maps. (like KF-Farm)
