Under Veil of Night is a solo map based off of Envy's map "Citadel". I retextured it in visualmode.lua to make it a nighttime version. Don't complain about how you can't see where you're going at times, because that's the point. There are certain bright points for reference.
I know it is not completely done, it is a big map :)
P.S. This is my first map, sorry that right now it is a knockoff, but I will edit monster/BOB flow later, sounds, etc.
You took the map Citadel and darkened the textures. Have some dignity man.
For a first map it's pretty good! Though I had a problem of seeing I can just run around. Keep making maps!

Once he edits monster/BOB flow, sounds, etc. it will not be a knockoff. Ever heard of pubic beta.
Very original level, but it was a bit too bright for me.
I'm going to complain about how dark it is. I'm aware that that's the point. It's a stupid point. Not being able to see is the easiest way to make a bad level.
If you're going to alter an existing map, you should at least have the decency to alter a good one. That said, I'm impressed at how much worse you managed to make an already poor map.
What could drive someone to think "well I'm too lazy to make my own map why don't I just completely butcher this existing map in 15 minutes and publish it hurfadurfa" because that's ridiculous, make your own maps next time.
I mean, you didn't even do a good job.
Before we continue on to my rave review of 'your' map I feel that there is a matter we must clear up first. You see, this isn't your map. If possession were based merely on the ability to throw the shitty alien textures on a map and make it dark as fuck I would have published Paradise Lost. That being said, doing the above you've made an already mediocre map simply terrible. Said map was created for netplay, and I must question your judgment in choosing it to "make" your solo/coop map. If you simply must 'solotexture' (you obviously don't solomap) at least steal a decent singleplayer level. Gameplay is sub par to placing your penis in a blender, turning it to the highest setting and attempting to sing Mozart's Requiem Mass, the lighting is of course completely flat and I can't see your texturing job to judge it. There are forerunners and pioneers for everything and I don't want to discourage you , after all, theft of intellectual property rights may just become the next big thing in Marathon mapmaking, I just think you should alter a different level perhaps more suited to solo play.
SOMEONE LIKED MY MAP!
I love it (but its my map, so...) but it was not designed to be dark, cause you can fall off the ledges, as dugit noted. I feel for you, texturing ALL of that... Sorta good job! (=
I have an irrational hatred of knockoffs. The original map is great, but that's not your own work, now, is it?
I like the level because is fun not to see anything but is not for play on network. The level is for do something when you dont have anything to do. Rating: 4 if you dont have anything to do- 1 for network.
Although the map itself is good, the "reference points" don't actually cast light, and in that, they seem unusual. Furthermore, it's generally irritating that I keep falling off the level.
