***ZM_FOREST_NIGHT***
50 Spawnpoints (!zstuck works as well)
THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETE AND READY FOR SUBMISSION!
MAP HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO FPSBanana!
Link: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/15922
==============================
THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE FINAL VERSION!!!
The "light" or "day" series of this map was discontinued.
If you would like this version, you can download it on these forums.
==============================
Best Example Screenshot:
Screenshot is slightly lighter than the actual map due to fixes.

==============================
Final Updates Made to Map:
- Average of 75 FPS (Varies from 50-100).
- Map optimized to the maximum (less lag, more FPS).
- More light added; enough to please both light and dark lovers.
- Less cliped areas (more moveable space).
- 2D skybox added and optimized (less lag).
- Other suggestions from the past accepted (most of them).
- Minor bugs fixed.
==============================
Thanks to...
I'd like to thank everyone here at ZombieMod.com who helped me get the idea for and help me execute this map. I think it came out VERY well in the end and I couldn't have done it without all of you helping me. Thank you!

==============================
ALSO...
I, Grey Echo, am also known as Elite| Ech0 by my clan and many other zombie mod-lovers, so I used this name to create the map with figuring more people know me by this name than they do by "Grey Echo". So, don't be alarmed if you see "Ech0" across the map or hear people talking about it because it's simply just me.

==============================
CONTACT ME:
Comments? Questions? Suggestions? Complaints?...
I'll be glad to hear them here or you can e-mail me at MadKowa@gmail.com!
Thanks and have a great day!

- Grey Echo

You really need to diasble the shadows on those trees and havea darker light environment.

Grey Echo · Post by **Grey Echo** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 7:41 pm

I cannot please everyone, I know that, but I won't be making any more changes to this map. I averaged out the light levels of the "dark" version of the map and the "light" version to come up with what I did and I personally think it came out nicely. As for the shadows, I wish to keep them because without the shadows the light will be too heavy. I actually experimented with the shadows as it was mentioned more than once to find that keeping them looked a lot better in all the combos I tried. I'm sorry you still find issues with the map, but like how I started out this paragraph, I cannot please everyone.

EDIT: In responce to what you said Something, I've slightly darkened the level. I won't do this again, but looking at the map again I found it was slightly lighter than I remembered making it.

Nice looking good, its funny because I've been working on a forest map also something similar to yours, but yours is much better since my trees will be just blocks

anyways good work it must be fun playing with zombies, I hope to give it a try once zombiemod is up and working, and you should uploaded to fps banana, wich gives your map lots of publicity

But the problem is that its really bright and really dark in some areas, but its your choice, it would improve performance nad make it look better.

ATIX,
Keep making that forest map...I want to play it.

Thanks for the comments and tips. I will upload it to FPSbanana soon.

Something,
I'm going to keep it the way it is...I've made my decision. Thanks for all of your help though.

Sounds great.

Grey Echo · Post by **Grey Echo** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 9:04 pm

Is this front page compatible?...
I know everyone is busy, but replacing this final map with the "zm_forest_v2" map that's on there now would be great.

Grey Echo · Post by **Grey Echo** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 11:52 pm

Pretty please, can someone update my map with this one? It's been more than a week now.

Grey Echo · Post by **Grey Echo** » Tue Sep 26, 2006 7:08 pm

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE UPDATE THE DOWNLOADS SECTION:

Instead of "zm_forest_v2", replace it with THIS NEW and FINAL version!
It's been weeks! Thank you!
