: It was really, really, really dark in places. I remember at least twice I
: couldn't find a doorway on the upper levels, because the shadows had been
: amplified, and another three times I thought I was moving through pitch
: blackness only to turn and find out I'd been walking into a wall.

: Dump some filters, find new ones, or add some lights.

: I'm also not sure how much I liked your... aesthetic blocking off of the lift
: tubes. Yeah, stuffing crap in the opening is interesting, but it looked
: really bad. Especially that one concrete barricade. It's been awhile since
: I played with Forge, and definitely never on that map, so I don't know
: what objects are available, or their options, but finding some better
: objects and setting them to fixed would be preferable to jamming dumpsters
: and concrete barricades in places they stick out and don't mesh or blend
: in at all.

I wanted to go for the feel it had been done haphazardly, and after a while I decided to switch to something cleaner-looking, but there's actually a small invisible ramp leading up to that hole so things won't go flush to the floor, and the physics box for the metal palettes is slight wider than the visual dimensions-- it would be close enough, except the metal palettes also are kind of extended or stick out at the corners, so I got a bunch of palettes that looked like they were floating in mid-air independently for no good reason, and I decided I liked the approach of shoving things in there better... I'll try some other things though. The darkness is on purpose, but I might lighten it a bit. As you probably know it's really finicky messing with sfx spheres, you not only have to mix and match but since different maps have different textures and lighting you have to do it all over again for each one-- which I have. Anyway there's no "I want this map 20% darker" menu item-- which, 343i if you're reading this, I want that... in fact if you could do that and other effects as a player trait that would be awesome.

You cannot fall off the floor.
