Wow, nice to see such AMAZING work again!
.::Kraid::.

I've seen that map on a coop server )
Very good work, I really liked this small village. Illumination is great, houses are detailed, texturing is good, too. Also I like this steam above water, but you can replace it with
/particles 8 259 [0...100] 0xccc
Excellent, 5/5

Very good work guys. Got 5 stars from me. Hope i'll see many other maps from you which will be great like this one

Very nice work!
I like the waterfall and hot spring sounds ( and the heater too :)
Kinda laggy, probably because of abundance of mapmodels
Nice curved roofs. I would play around with textures though (some different texture areas on the walls, are those supposed to be pictures or what?)
Overall, great map. 5/5

BTW, good job on the screenshot: even before I downloaded it I decided to rate it 5/5 :)

Haven't playtested it yet, but I think you might consider adjusting the sunlight color... It's rather yellow.

I commend your attention to detail, and the ambience you produce so well. the sounds are so fitting and make the map almost seem alive, congrats on producing such excellent artwork.

now.... where'd the admins hide the 6/5 button...

I think we will experiment with the particles and thanks very much for that. Also we will start adding our own textures to use for paintings. Since there aren't very many we could use. So look for an update in a day or two. XD ! I might play with the yellow sun a little but I liked it that yellow because of the feeling it gave to the map. Though it could possibly be toned down a little. Thank you all very much for the excellent ratings and comments!!

Hey thank you all for the comments this allowed me to improve the map some. MX, I use a variation: particles 9 259 8 0xbbb on the waterfalls and it made a huge difference. I thought about putting that into the hot springs and bath house but the particles were just too energetic to the relaxing atmosphere there.

Tyros, you had an excellent concern. I put more into the artwork on the walls and made sure they all had frames. I haven't thought of that before so I'm very glad you suggested it. I also added two pictures to be used as wall paintings. I think they turned out rather well.

lovely details, nice houses, great bath. really i like it very much! thank you
oh and zlib license, cool!

This map makes me feel like im... home. =O The scenery, and all of the houses are beautiful. I would really hate to spill blood on the streets though. ;)
5/5

Great mysterious little town. The bath house is awesome.
Usually I tend to not give 5's but this deserves it.

Now... if only I knew people who would do coops with ME. Haha.

I would be surprised if this didn't make it to the next release.

edit note: SheeEttin is probably right about the sunlight. Being in a mountain area with that much yellow is a little strange. Just tone it down a bit.

I played with the sun and its a little less yellow now. Not much different but a little. I wanted to keep it sorta yellow to make the map feel warm and look kind of like evening. I also fixed a LOT of geometry in the cliffs, partially to reduce file size and speed up fps a little. I don't lag so much in the middle of town now. Plus I put in bases for CAPTURE!! Because of all the buildings capture would be fun and challenging. And I fixed a bunch of details I doubt anyone would notice unless they completely tore apart the map :P I doubt I could find much more to do to it now, but if anyone has a suggestion on how I could improve it further PLEASE tell me now because I doubt I will do much more to it after I start on my next map, and I would like this one to be as perfect as I can get it (minor things plz, im not going to remove a building haha).

I just now tried a bunch of different textures for the streets but I coulden't find any that fitted the town good enough. Either they were the wrong color, did not contrast enough with the buildings, or were not fitting of the time period that we were after. But I am convinced that I will need to use another street texture for my next map. Although I am not sure which one. I may just make one myself (whips out camera).

We all know this is gonna go into the next release of Sauer. This map is beautiful. I can see that there has been alot of time spent into making this map.

really very good map,congratulations. Maybe some times looks like the houses little bit small, anyway 5/5

great map !!!!! hope it is put in the next release. awesome job!!!!!

I think this map has many great qualities. We should come up with a map?

I don't wanna repeat everything. You already know that it's a georgeous atmosphere on this map. And with all those details and the fantastic bath house I'd normally rate it 5/5.

But I'm a bit concerned about the gameplay. There are many objects and little walls to strike against wich make running around less fun. Also there are places where you get stuck (e.g. the roof of the house with the ladder going upstairs to the base). And it's still easy to get on top of the cliffs (rocket/nade-jump). If you don't want people to get up there, you need to clip the whole cliff, or you could allow them to go up and do it similar to relic.

So I'll rate it 4/5, hoping to see a version 1.03 (with less or at least clipped edges) so that I'm able to give the fifth star.

That's a really nice work, so to say... The atmosphere and the whole feeling of the map reminds to an RPG map, and it LOADS of details which makes me to give 5/5.

But, you mentioned in the update (version 1.02) that you added clipping etc. to prevent from getting on the cliffs... I just can say that I was still able to climb up easily on several ways. Better add a HIGH clip ring around the whole map if you really want to prevent it, but right now it's still possible with weapon jumps.

I can't gernade or rocket jump worth a damn so I cannot test the cliff clipping good enough. I will work on that though. I will work on the clipping more for the next release. So thank you very much! ;-)

Dude you are a very good map maker. Good job!

I like the secret teleport... nice one!

I just tried the cliff and yes it is really easy to get up there. Very nice work, impressive map. I wish I could do the same!
