This version should be stable unless glitches are found.

As compared to previous versions the distinction between bot-pathable and not-bot-pathable cliffs is clearer and the lighting is a bit less red.

At some point in the future I might look into putting water on the out-of-game minimap and fiddling with the skybox/water/features. I don't expect to get around to this in the immediate future.

Why is MM used for testing?

Because 1v1 players provide the most useful feedback of course.

Nobody picks sea maps if given the choice.

Ok, so it's better to make matchmaker even more repulsive by forcing you to randomly play maps you don't like.

Because to make sea better I need to know what competitive 1v1 ships play looks like, a couple of games in tournaments wasn't cutting it, and I'm not awake at the right time of day to round up many of the common MM players for testing.

The texture doesn't look like much from the map view on this page, but it's sexy as hell in game. Are you using a tiling diffuse texture which matches exactly with the normal map? I thought it was strange to pick a texture with visible repeats in the tiling but is that because it's the same size as the image used for the normals?

I'm pretty sure what you're seeing is because of DNTS.

It's extremely powerful; consider the map Otago which is basically rolling soft color gradients and DNTS to add detail.

Now, if only it also supported similarly tiled/splatted speculars and emission... :D

I think I have what I need for now - removed from MM.

Unsupporting until it is downloadable again. Something weird is going on with the zero-k.info upload for this map specifically.
