Windbreaker

Some companies ignore their texturing jobs. Others use different ones every time! Some companies make boring maps with no groovy "orange thingys" (not my phrase). Others make maps with groovy orange thingys! Some companies just care I guess.

It goes without saying. Most new comers to the community don't even know of this gem. Download it, and you will see a vital part of this community. It's elegance, it's LEETness, this is the jewel on RKYOKOTK's crown.

With the added ability of texturing unpaved surfaces, this script makes Forge's visual mode obsolete. The script is extremely easy to learn, and, in my opinion, beats Forge's VM in terms of how it operates. Unlike Forge's VM, you can use textures from all sets easily, you can "freeze" in the air to texture hard-to-reach places, and you don't have to deal with too many lines overloading the engine. If you're still hesitant about making the switch to this script, I assure you that it is easy to learn, and you'll be far better off in the long run.

Even though $lave uses several new textures in these maps, the overall look in each of them is rather bland and choppy. The texturing needs to be a bit smoother, and well placed. Also, there is almost no (albeit, some) eye candy in any of the maps.

As for the overall design of the maps, they're pretty straight forward and unoriginal; but they're very good for a beginning mapper such as $lave. The arena maps are nothing special at all, and in fact, I'd discard them.

As a host on the meta, I haven't hosted these maps hardly at all. However, with work and experience, it could turn out as a great map pack in the future.
