DM-Empowered]I[ - amongst the peaks on the mountain

I had a map request for DM-Empowered][, but I don't like falling maps, so I retooled it.

Only on the mountain.

I don't see what the problem is. Just don't fall over the side and nothing falls.

Simple, yes?

I really should have been charge of making all the maps back in 1999.

Oh that map was a favourite of mine over on Chico's Excalibur II  DM+monsters Insta server.  Too bad Chico got addicted to WoW, and has let his servers fall by the wayside.  (They're still up, but the file redirects don't work any more.)

What did you do to fix the issue of "falling"?  And why is it a problem?  Pushing someone off of a ledge with weapon blast is a time honoured way of making a frag. 

And seeing that this map is a port of a Quake map means that you would have had no life at all, if you had to tweak all the Quake maps and UT maps that were being churned out in those days.   Cheesy
  

I'm a man........but I can change........if I have to........I guess.

Why don't you like 'falling' maps?

The dislike for me with falling maps is that the enemy blast just knocks you off the edge rather than kill you, so you suicide and lose a frag.

What did I do to fix? Pop by when you see it up in the rotation  Smiley
Now only about a third of the map is vulnerable to falling off, the rest is pretty safe.

And also the game would not have been as popular if I had made the maps, lol.

Actually, I kinda liked that you could do that. Fighting a superior player, knock their butt into the abyss!



Very satisfying!

A lot of the falling part was uncontrollable anyway - with all the jump pads.
Good job Helen!
Now, if the map was a bit bigger!?!? Cheesy
