    Petra Treasury (Remade)

    Welcome to a preview.
    I forged Petra right back in oct 2010, and it has been a popular file with lots of comments and views. I received a few recent comments and decided to remake in a new way. I was unhappy with scale and overlapping lots of pieces.

    There were a few things I considered important in this remake that was wrong with my previous versions.
    1 the surrounding walls, very important part to have straight walls around, I know they are rough, but it's like a frame and more accurate now.
    2 The sizing, spacing and height of the pillars
    3 location. I think having a natural cave helps and previous version location was too wide.

    I have added more and tried to keep in the same theme, and made everywhere accessable. It has a decent lay out for a 1 v 1 - 2 v 2 3 v 3. or 2 - 8 players ffa. Now working and tested on slayer, koth, headhunter, oddball.

    I have added 3 health packs,
    10 x dmr
    4 x needler rifle 60's + 1
    1 x needler 60's + 1
    2 x shot gun 120's + 1
    2 x sniper 180's + 1
    1 x plasma repeater 60's
    1 x plasma pistol 60's
    Central grenade launcher 120's + 1
    1 x sword
    6 x plasmas
    6 x frags

    I have added soft kill zones around instead of walling off the map. I have also made jet-pack safe. I have done quite a few tests, feedback has been good and the map plays well.. Around 2000 budget left, 50 inclines, 35 bridges, 40 walls left to keep framerate good. I have also removed lights.
    Comments and feedback appreciated.
    Thanks

    This definitely looks more accurate timmy. Since this is an aesthetically focused version, I wouldn't worry much about making it playable. The entrance is so much of a choke point and the cave walls have limited your options in, so I think the game play would be too segmented. It definitely looks awesome though.

    Thank you! I wanted to remake more accurate and fix framerate issues. The front entrance also has two side entrances so the choke point wont be as bad. Also there is a small side cave adding another way in the building.
    I want this to play for small games 1 v 1 - 2 v 2 and I think it should play well. Thanks :)
