some props are floating, your roofs should only be 8 units thick, not 16, and try to use white lights sparingly.

I'll say more later, but the pain meds I am on are wearing off.

EDIT: and before I go, disable shadows on some of those props, especially the fences and the cardboard trash. they don't use shadows well.

Indeed. I changed a lot of stuff.

do you have a light_environment?

if so, add some ambient lights (same color as your light_environment, but only 1-2 brightness, place these in dark areas to give that "no light source but still visible" effect, helps against those dark corners and such, while still having the map look dark.)

dabble with the color of your lights, it's often better to steer away from pure white lights... I would suggest a (very) slight yellowish-white for the street lamps. grey lights for the places you want to seem more "conformed" and light orange for interiors (such as the prison) or light blues if you want the "cold, abandoned" feeling... and light, strong-ish blues for combine areas (same color as a combine monitor screen.)

you're forgetting red for those "dangerous" areas. players will tend to avoid these areas. (it's pyschological)

you can also use this to create fear, etc.

[Jgoodroad]

but use it sparingly... red lights everywhere will make it more like a rave then a prison.

I have been trying to use red lights, but its hard to find suitable areas for them. I am also editing the lightning in the level.

[Jgoodroad]

alarms, I know a good tutorial on spinning lights.

a bit less debris, a few more chain-link fences, I'd replace the burning corpses with a hobo barrel fire, and add a light there with a nice orange color to simpulate the fire's light.

[Jgoodroad]

What the fuck are you talking about... There are armor chargers in Citadel and Breach...

[warbrand2]

in classic citadel and Breach they have been removed in the newer Vs of the maps.

You really don't need to go crazy. He's right, they've been removed (at the community's request).

Just because they have been removed from other maps, does not mean they don't have a place in the game. This should be up to the map maker to decide, though of course one should be aware of how they effect the balance of the map so long as they are in the game.

Damn, I didn't know that until right now. I guess I don't play Overwatch enough to notice. Even then, I agree. They should have a place, but whatever.

Either way, turn it down dude. That little outburst was unneccessary as was this one. He happens to be right in both instances.

I told them that the big guns were watching them, finally someone will put an end to this war _{-- The Joker}

I'm not sure who your talking about. Who is right about both instances?

[WAXT]

Don't worry about it, it's not important. Bygones are bygones afterall.
