DESCRIPTION: Summer Holiday! :P My inspiration came partialy from 'Cast Away' movie and partialy from err... a place of my dreams :P Map takes place on the one of many islands scattered across Pacific Ocean. However, there are significant marks that there were people, but they dissapeared somehow. Maybe local critters frightened them? (sharks, crocodiles, spiders...) Or maybe their salvation had come? The map is designed to play duels and power duels, but you can also play free for all mode eventualy, which is not recommended (no weapons, low fps). I've tried to create local 'pacific' climax, y'know: shining sun, humming waves, warm water, palm trees, singing birds and so on. Enjoy!!! :)
New Sounds: Yes
New Music: Yes
New Textures: Yes
New Shaders: Yes
Game Type(s): DUEL, POWER DUEL (recommended game type), FFA eventualy
New Effects: Yes
Bot support: Yes!
BUGS: The most important thing: the map may require monster comp., due to many palm trees. Avoid many players (only 8 at one time is max! If more, try to reduce graphical settings - mainly screen resolution, texture quality to at least 'High' and filtering set to 'Bilinear'; use over-clocking etc. :P). I used 'caulk' texture whenever possible...
DEVELOPING TIME: A month? Maybe longer...
PROGRAMS USED: Usual mapping stuff (EasyGen 1.42, GTK Radiant 1.4.0, JKA SDK) + GIMP 1.2.5 + Audacity 1.2.3 (for 'waves' sounds).
COMMENTS: Well, map was tested in the clean /Base folder and no errors occured.
TIP: Try to touch all (4) border walls - you can't see them, obviously, because they're invisible; just go as far as you can to north, west, east and south.
