Well I’ve been working steadily on ps_derailed over the holidays getting it up to visual standard for RC1 release. Most of the updates involves some new and redone brushwork, a fairly major retexture, and a handfull of skybox props made by me and Schmung from the FAS team. Schmung is responsible for the awesome crane model.
e crane which really looks nice as it hangs over the map in a skybox.

Here’s an update to the parallaxing background test I was doing before. I added a bullet manager, some collisions and “camera code” to keep the view on the player. I also went out and bought a xbox360 controller so I can start coding for its inputs and it is very nice.

I havent had time to map much lately because of school but the nice thing about being away from a map for so long is your mind keeps subconciously working on it. I had no lack of ideas for this map.
The progressive spawns are completely redone and are moved a bit further away from the center cap point. There is now about 200% more upper level sniper and support spots. There has been a lot of re-texturing to give it a more industrial and unified feel. The texture theme before was a little all over the place. HDR exposure is reduced and the lighing is getting there, it still needs some more incremental changes though.
The shots here show off the redone areas and sniper points over the 3rd cap point. Note that the 3rd cap point goes into the garage and is now much more heavily fortified, it should be easier to defend despite the increase of sniper points focused on it.
