I would say try to put more detail into thouse they look... blocky.
Other than that its ammazing.

I think the reason its errm like that is because its not a tileing texture (the back side is... well don't take those pics... that texture definately needs work. (on a side note the bump for that texture is...more 'simplistic' then the rest. its supposed to resemble melted iron.

Looks good. But yea the name has been taken.

JacksonCougAr · Post by **JacksonCougAr** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 7:24 pm

Well why doesn't someone just go ahead and make a list of every name that has already been used hummmm...

EDIT: Okay; I fixed the name so stop complaining and give some useful criticism

-- and perhaps download the map while your at it... to better tell me what needs fixing.

I think you need to darken the ground. Make it match the cliff texture more.

Okay I just finished a...very long graphics tweak on the map

; I'll update the pictures and download tomorrow. I have to be at school in 3 hours so now I'm going to try and get what little sleep I can.

Its not funny how little time there is in a day...

EDIT: by tomorrow I guess I meant today at 4:00pm...

2nd EDIT: I went the other way on the whole cliff thing. Instead of darkening the ground (which would have depressed the hell out of me if I had to do that... I lightened up the cliffs... now they are pale yellowish... with green 'stuff' on them. And for some reason unknown to me the entire place seems to glow now... oh well at least its not a depressing map! (I couldn't handle anything depressing at the moment).

On a side note I've been awake now for about 17 hours... (2pm...7:40am...=17:20min!!!)

Another side note is I just got back from Starbucks... I live a block away but the grande mocha frapechino didn't even last the trip...

3rd EDIT: Oh ScottyGEE! Are we allowed to ermm...whats it called... inject the BSP into another map, then build the skin from there (so I can add the water...oh and if there is another way to do this without injecting the BSP please tell me because I would HATE to have to transfer all those bitmaps and bumpmaps over to some other map...).

PS: could someone PLEASE tell me what dependency/ident I have to null out to get rid of the purple sheen I see on all those covenant items... OR just tell me how to edit the cubemaps. (AND yes I realize that this is a skins download forums but I am REALLY too tired to use the mouse at the moment to click over to the help forums. -- just go along with me guys -- I get short-tempered when I haven't slept in 18 hours.

4th EDIT: I believe that since this is a Beta release I can ask all these questions since the goal of this thread was to get feedback/help improve 'Secret Oasis".

i like it thus far but either change the cliffs a lil to match the rest of map or vise versa the mc skin is way cool that give the map a really good aspect the on the cave i agree wit everyone else doesn't really match other than that awesome and i don't think the ribs (metal spires near the sword spawn) are that blocky mabey a lil at some angles. im really impressed by all the map made so far there all awesome

nvm bout the cliffs

man u stay up late lol but i did too till my xbox crapped out so now my map will have to go unfinished oh well there's always other competitions

I told myself I would only take a light snooze... ummm---school going to be murder until I get my sleep back on track because its now 8:00pm and I'm just waking up

Ahhhh SHEEEEEET! Oh well I get you those updated pictures I was talking about...(Patch will have to wait...er not.... I think I already made one...But that means I have to release a mainmenu patch too... ah well.

Oh and on a side note I made the 24hr no sleep marker yesterday...errrr; today.
