In Response To: Re: Eternal X Alpha 4 (Forrest of B.org)

Level 4 Dysmentria

Since I made this one myself, it's hard for me to actually betatest it. I know how it works, and where everything is.

----------------------------------------

Level 5 Sakhmet Rising

Polygon 611: an adjacent ledge (eyecandy) has red(?) ceiling. It's visible when you ride the elevator.

----------------------------------------

Level 6 Unwired

Polygon 144: troopers activate really slow. Perhaps an activation trigger could be on this polygon.

Area around polygon 35: Fighters are asleep. Gunfire should make em jump.

Area around polygon 369: You'll find a gang of lookers coming at you, and once they're all dead there's these cages with two fighters in each. The fighters activates slow. Perhaps you can take away the zoneborders so they're already activated when the player finds them.

Elevator, polygon 129,130: Check out the swtiches here. There's 3 switches, one for each elevator. First, are all the switches neccessary? Secondly, two how the switches have bad texture alignment.

Polygon 456: This door is weird. Shape is not square, and there's no door texture on the other side of it. Design call.

The X texture, that's transparent. If it is possible, can you smooth out the edges with the transparent map (eg smooth white insted of pixel white). Is it possible with A1?

Polygon area 636: The fighter cages. Slow activation, and two of the cages doesn't give enough polygon room for the fighters to attack. A monster needs to be able to walk between polygons to execute it's first attack. Minimum 2 polygons for a cage. I guess these cages has only one polygon.

Polygon 848: look at the ceiling. It will flicker with white dots now and then. I think the mapper has used the tranparent X texture here. It's best fixed, by better alignment, or switching to a regular texture.

Polygon area 502: There's 3 lookers the bottom here, that chatter but doesn't move.

--------------------------------------------------------

Extra Notes: The pfhor set looks really cluttery in comparision with marathon-set, which is more clear cut. The wasps do plenty of damage.

The level design is still going strong, and the architecture is keeping a high quality. Monsters have gone from light resistance to normal resistance. (note: I play on kindergarden, since my laptop's keyboard cannot activate too many buttons at once)

Terminals are overall lengthy. Personally, I'd cut away everything but what is neccessary to develope the story(drama), and player instructions. I don't have a terminal viewer here on my pc, but if I had, I could give some examples. Is there a terminal viewer for pc?

So far, at level 7, there's been no MAJOR problems, and the whole ride feels good.

In my beta reports,I'll give my opinions raw, so use your sound judgement of what is in your interrest and what is not.
