RACE-RainbowRace

[Azarael]

I assume the skybox change is for a versioned or separate map? I don't really mind.

It would be for a separate map, keeping RainbowRace as it is at present

Thanks to Balkan and Eiforia for showing me a major exploit / rubbish blocking volume respectively. Killing zone has been lowered and extended to deter exploits, whilst the blocking volume is now placed correctly - so no more unwanted sentinel action. I hope.

Updates:

- A really big thank you to dark_elf for converting the entire track into something that doesn't make your eyes water, and for placing the physics volumes and what not. It now looks like a respectable map. There is now little to no overlap between the three objectives and the physics volumes cover most if not all eventualities (I've run through them all). In this sense the track is a little different to the previous versions, but the general layout remains exactly the same (it's only the interactions between all objective tracks which has disappeared, so it may seem slightly different). There is substantial space left for another objective and track if wanted.

- I've redone all the scenary to accommodate the size of the new track, complete with mushrooms and orange trees.

- Lighting has been reformatted; the track is now naturally lit without a kaleidoscope of colours. I should have really noticed that the original sun was emitting purple light before now ...

- Both teams now have a couple of teamwork benders in addition to the quantum scorpions. We decided that the map was less cluttered and large enough to accomodate them. In addition, objectives are now accompanied by teamwork garages.

Enjoy!

Looks a million times better already

indeed

Maybe you could make the fog start earlier and be more dense.

Noooo please, we have enough maps that are just boring smogsville. It's like being in China.

Being able to see far adds immersion and realism <3

...and fucking looks better.

Changed the fog colour from grey to white, and thickened it a little. It's more of a mist than a fog though; any thicker and it loses all it's character.

90% of the map is still visible from the spawn, and there's no pop in problems. I think it looks better now.

There is a problem with the latest version. Everybody keeps crashing after loading. I crashed 3 times in a row when trying to join...

My log if it helps:
