It’s a great remake so far with layout, original fitting music, very good lighting/shadows and awesome central area. I think the scale is fine and it’s not scaled too big for CTF, it’s just a big CTF map. In fact, I think the UT2004 version is slightly bigger or at least it seems that way. Ever try CTF-Ezsmerhim for the original UT? Now that’s a big CTF map. Obviously, it needs a few finishing touches like a preview shot and other things, but it works fine for me for now. Not sure if the bot pathing can be changed, but the bots in the UT2004 version seemed to defend better without any direction. I like the torches, gates, base colors, banners, crystals, caverns, icicles, waterfalls, ambient sounds (birds, etc.), lava, vegetation and “evil” pillars. Did you get rid of the sun because I didn’t see it? Also, the lava looks good to me. This version is definitely darker than the UT2004 version, but that’s a good change for UT3. Hopefully, you can finish this one sometime this year.:)

Thanks mate, i never tried CTF-Ezsmerhim...or perhaps my old head cant remember +.+
Here it was Malkav who played nicely with textures and some meshes....to "refresh" them from UT2004...
not sure to finish this one day....and tbh UT4 would probably the best place to finish it.
