!---Updated screenshots, information and download link in new post below---!

Hey guys,

As some of you know, I've not released a map since Boxes-Remade, back in about 2007 or 2008. Since then, I've only loaded up the editor a handful of times, and the last time I did was several years ago. I decided I wanted to make a new map, but I was feeling rusty after being away from mapping for so long. To get rid of the rust, I decided to stick with the familiar and give Boxes-Remade a makeover, because it's certainly a hideous map. Some may see it as a pointless task, but it's something I've wanted to do for a while.

This was a tricky project, because I wanted to keep the majority of the rooms at the exact same dimensions while also making the level less of an eye-sore. My aim was to keep the gameplay almost exactly the same as before, which I found was a tough goal to keep. I spent maybe 20 hours, at most, working on this. This is far from a masterpiece as I was getting familiar with mapping again, and I didn't want to place all of my new ideas into this map. I have other maps in progress at the moment, but they may not see the light of day for quite some time yet.

Anywho, here are some screenshots.

Up!

Good job there, 20 hours is less than what I spend on one room. Razz

Thanks for the feedback run.

I'll get those changes done (Hopefully tomorrow) and then re-uploaded tomorrow afternoon.

It only took 20 hours due to using the same room dimensions  Very Happy1 But that also hindered me in what I wanted to do.
My next map will take much, much longer. Especially as I'll be back to studying on the 21st  Sad

A fix is coming, I promise! Just been a little too busy to fix the last couple of issues.

I'll try and get it out tomorrow.

Thank you very much for your contribution.

I'm going to vote this map on a full server so I can look at architecture and decoration whilst others blast the monsters.
The main difference that caught my eye looking at the screenshots, is lighting. Lighting does make a difference.

This make-over turns a good map into a great map. Good work!
Can we already vote this map on Main server?

Thanks, Viandel! Dem has tweaked some of the lighting to make it look even better.

I'm just making a couple more changes based on feedback I've received and then I'll test it once more to see if it's ready.
Then it'll be down to whenever someone finds the time to put it on the server.

I've been busy moving house so not had time to work on the map again.

Dem and I are making a few tweaks, but it should be fully finished before too long.

With lots of feedback and help from Dem, the map has undergone a lot of visual changes and tweaks. I think the map should now be ready to be put onto the main as Dem and I have been testing the map regularly over the past few weeks. I do plan on bringing in an addition or two when Dem has finished scripting a new surprise.

If possible, seeing as the map has been changed quite drastically, could my old version of Boxes-Remade be kept on the server, please? Thanks.

Here are some updated screenshots:

There shouldn't be any missing files. If there are, let me know.

There's something wrong with transparency on Ninja's renderer. Pipes and ground windows should look like this:

Also we're correcting a couple things. The map should be ready in a day or two.

Graphics card driver might need an update or is just alternately configured? Normally all F9's I make are usually brighter than my in-game look. Anyway looks great! When it goes live let us now. Very Happy1  
We want more!

Aye so we did a little polishing, then we did a tad more, and then we put some extras. Not like the map is mind blowing, but just neat, as in devoid of any quirks, and simply nice to play.
It's now around 109% final, and I believe there's nothing more to do this time, not even bug fixing, probably.

The archive is big but the packages used are all very common so most people should already have them. Yaaaay~

EDIT: JUST FOUND A BUG ON THE LATEST EXTRA LOL. WE'LL BE BACK SOON.

That did go on for a little longer than I originally planned, but the rust has well and truly gone now. The rooms I was making before I started on all of this already look awful, so that part of a different map will be scrapped. I learnt a lot from this project, so thanks for all your time, Dem.

Nice Very Happy1  I'll try it out this weekend if it is vote-able. Under what map name is it present? Or are they both online or swapped?
