Planetfall RPPlanetfall RPThe original version of Planetfall (gm_planetfall_001) was in fact made by another mapper called IronPhoenix. This map was essentially a flying block with a couple of corridors and one drop pod. For one reason or another, I loved it and decided to edit it myself. So I learnt to map and did just that! At first it was only going to be for me and a couple of my friends, but after allowing a couple of others to test it, their reaction was so good that I decided to release it.
Version one took around 2 and a half years to make, and within another 4 or 5 months, I had already taken it to v1.6. By that point, I had already stretched the hammer limits far beyond the maximum suggested amounts, and the lights refused to work, leaving it in fullbright. To cut a long story short, over a year later I fixed the light problem, improved most other aspects of the map and then released it as v1.7. Now I'm working on V2, which is a complete remake from scratch. I still keep the V1 set around though, because although it's horribly ugly and blocky, I have yet to find another map quite like Planetfall.
