Description:
Necropolis looks like a map right out of Q3  Not that that's a bad thing!
It's a very large and open map filled with jump pads, weapons and pickups. The flags are located on the last level, and even though it may seem easy to just hop across and grab it, expect resistance 
I think the map not only looks good, but plays good too! Would definitely suit a good Disintegration game

CTF_Necropolis
'City of the dead'
Author: Spookmineer a.k.a ||TF||Topic
Email address: spookmineer@hotmail.com
This is my first map and it took a long time to get there ;)
I've had this lay out in my head and drawn out on paper for over a year now.
Before I started this map I learned how to use GTKRadiant and made numerous test maps
for half a year.
Installation: Unzip the zip file to your <stvef>/baseef/ folder.
Select the map from the menu or open the console and type
/map ctf_necropolis
Description: CTF_Necropolis is a wide, huge and fast paced CTF map.
Weapons included are the photon, compression rifle, scavenger rifle and
grenade launcher. There are plenty of med packs and armour, one detonator pack
for each base and a quad in the middle.
Supported gameplay modes: CTF, TDM, FFA
Bot support: Yes
New textures: Yes, more then 90% are custom textures (see credits)
New shaders: Yes
Notes:
- Check out the jumppads in the four corners of the map.
- Take a moment to look at the doors in the scavenger platforms on full details ;)
- It is possible to outrun a photon on this map.
- This is the first space map for Elite Force with working cluster portals for the bots
(Raven didn't include a working shader for botclips...) so there are now 6 balanced
clusters for the bots :)

Extremly FUN to play on a real map atmosphere.
Lots of fun traveling the numorous jump pads.
Bots play surprisingly well on this level too.

Posts: 7 | The map looks great and plays OK, but the FPS is horrid. Slower machines will not even be able to function on this map.
Still, I'll use it for a while... {MAC}Gladiator |
