Wow, i love the fire.
Great level, i can see 4 or 5 games using this level at the zone at 1 time.

Posted: 2002-01-20 9:25 a.m.   Report Abuse Very nice looking level, specially for someone like me thats into egyptian stuff. The only complaint i have that it seems a bit small, and the only real serect i could find was a couple of health packs under a door in the water. Very nice looking though

Posted: 2002-01-20 9:38 a.m.   Report Abuse I have not yet played the level, but from the screenshots it looks completely and utterly amazing. So far my rating meter looks like a 8. If the level is 5.4 mb it must be huge, or really detailed...Or have music...hmmmm I'll tell u what it's like when i play it!

--------------------------------------------------
Grrrr if anyone had the level maybe i could try it out, bah time for a game by myself

Posted: 2002-01-20 10:29 a.m.   Report Abuse D00d! This level is awesome, even though I didn't play it yet. But, SBX doesn't have any grapples. It has a levitation with force jump.

Posted: 2002-01-20 10:30 a.m.   Report Abuse Ok i played it, and i was right, i rated it an 8. Here are my comments.

First of all, i'd like to say that im very displeased with one of the rooms. The room where you must open the big slab door, and the torches above. Well in that room, it's a EXACT replica of one of the rooms in the game "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine" If i knew how to post pics i would. At first i was like, hmmm this seems familiar. But i figured it was nothing. Then i looked to my left and saw the stair thingies...that's where i was like, maybe it just looks the same...but i hopped up the stairs and sure enough! there was a square pool of water, just like in the game. So then i was almost positive till i looked on the right side and saw rock that was broken everywhere, this too was in the game. Then i realised where those torches were was in the game, u had to use ur rope to swing off little pegs by the torches. And the last clue was the door, that door was there too. That mission in the game Indian Jones was like the volcano or something..Anyways dont deny it, you copied that room. :(


Pros:
The texturing is very very nice. I especially liked the sand and hyrogliphics.

The architexture was astounding

The wrecked pillars were a nice touch.

Cons:
The author made it sound like there were many secrets although i only could find 3, of course there could be more.

Even though i have cable, and downloaded this fast, for 56kers out there i feel really sorry for. I honestly and truly dont understand how this level could be 5.4 mb..it could be the torches..I dont know but it didnt seem like a 5.4 mb level to me.

The rooms seemed to be a bit small for dueling.


Bugs:
When you open the doors in the water u get a HOM effect

In the room with the killing light, when u first walk in, turn right, go to the fire thingy and look up, u will see that a ceiling texture does not match.

The revive energy thingy that it sits on is not flagged as floor.


DBF_SuperSaiyan's Recap.

-The level is good if you have cable and if you want some fast and furious gameplay for sabers.

-SBX RECCOMENDED,or grapple mods, you cant get out of some places without them.

-3d Acceleration, if you dont have it, this lvl aint for you.

-And if ur into egyption levels with puzzles have fun!

-If you like "Indian Jones and the Infernal Machine" One of the rooms is just for you :)

My Rating: 8

Posted: 2002-01-20 11:23 a.m.   Report Abuse You'll notice that in all of my levels I have included one "easter egg" room from one game or another. In this level it happened to be from The Infernal Machine. I really enjoyed that level in the game, and I wanted to see if I could reproduce it. I realize that SBX doesn't have a grapple. What you need to play this level is some kind of an elevated force jump, or a grapple.

Concerning the HOM in the treasure room, (the underwater room) that was mentioned in the readme. It doesn't HOM for me, but I have no doubt that it would for people without fairly recent video cards.

The large file size is due to the HUGE amount of 16bit textures in this level. And for those of you on 56k's complaining about downloading this, I submitted it at 1.2k/s, so I know your pain.

Posted: 2002-01-20 11:35 a.m.   Report Abuse Im not asking where they are, but how MANY secrets are there, i have found 3.

Posted: 2002-01-20 11:42 a.m.   Report Abuse There are four secrets. The disguised revive (you probably found that and didn't think of it as a secret), the two healing rooms, and the underwater room.

Posted: 2002-01-20 5:04 p.m.   Report Abuse An amazing level, but as said above, a few textures were unaligned, the "altar" with the revive was not flagged and on the bottom of the light beam, where the sunken sector is, it is dflt. Other than that, a very well done level. I applaud you.

The file size is cos of all those coins :p

Posted: 2002-01-21 12:21 a.m.   Report Abuse This level is very impressive, and I'm glad that you recommend SBX for it =) I'm eager to actually play a game with people in this level—I only checked it out myself while testing some new skins for SBX-JK 3.1.

*10*

Posted: 2002-01-21 11:04 a.m.   Report Abuse The first time I saw screen shots of this level I knew it would be worth the download. This is a must have and great level.

I love to see levels with terrain that is varied - such as when you spawn into the level and walk down into the first room. The broken pillars really add to the effect. If you want to play a level where you feel like you're fighting like in a movie - get this one.

Great work.

This level is a 10. Great textures, good lighting, and nice overall atmosphere.

Posted: 2002-01-22 2:10 p.m.   Report Abuse Of all the atmospheric Egyptian themed levels; Tomb of Sands, Necropolis, Egypt, Stargate. . . This is the best I've ever played!
