Nice Vadersloping! :p

Thank you. It took me about an hour to do. Very time consuming!

This looks great! Seems like it would be cool for Invasion. :D

On the Topic of content mods for this, a Silent Hill mod might be cool in my opinion, the landscape and access to buildings doubly supports my thoughts.

Seconding this, and even thirding because heck why not

Plus to reduce visibility, an ancient fog technique can be used, is there a way to put a wall of fog around a player like the darkness is in Lasting Light? You would of course need to expand the boundaries to fit the thickness of the "fog"

Play russian overkill on this

[MrEnchanter]

Still working on this guys?

I added a download link to the OP. Please report any issues in the map to this thread.

Is that textures from cg textures?

I mean, this would definitely reduce visibility, but the performance gain would either be zero or negative. Even if you blocked out vision past a certain range with fog, Zandronum would still process and render the stuff behind the fog, so the only thing you'd accomplish would be either making the map a whole lot whiter or make it so that Zandronum has to process a ton of fog actors in addition to everything else.

Exactly. Overlaying distant parts of the map with white pixels on the player's screen does not prevent the architecture from being drawn, it just adds another layer on top that requires more processing.

Instead, what you need to do is insert a good amount of "void space" (deleted sectors, should show up as an infinitely-tall walls with one-sided lines) throughout the center area of the map. These will prevent architecture that's all the way across the map from the player from being drawn when the player's line-of-sight hits them.
