Bionicle - Vulcanus Village [WIP]

Hello, this is a recreation of the scene in the movie "Bionicle: The Legend Reborn" which features an arena with lava, and such. It may not be perfect, but it serves its purpose; a place/arena to do some pretty awesome scenes, perhaps with Bionicles too.

I highly recommend getting the Advanced Light Entities addon, because this map is very dark in some places, and adding in-game lights helps a lot, but some how I couldn't make it lighter in hammer, or get lights to work properly on the shield props in the room.

What this map contains:

-Lava (non-animated, yet)
-Two rooms (one Ackar's Room, the other a blank canvas room)
-Custom textures
-Custom props
-Custom Skybox
-Custom soundscapes (ambient and stuff)

FAQ:

Q: Will you make more maps from the Bionicle Movies?
A: No. I don't intend to, and I won't take any requests.

Known Issues:

-Giant Leg prop doesn't light up properly from other world lights (neither do the shield props)
-There are no lava seams inside the actual arena (like in the film)

Things to Do:

-Fix lighting in some locations
-Add lava seams inside the arena
-Animate the lava (and possibly change what it's surface it is)
-Brighten the room lighting
-Add more props to Ackar's room (the other one is blank on purpose)
-Add more entities/world props
-Make a Day Version (and day skybox)
-Add some particle effects (not necessary, so it's just a maybe)
________________________________

You cannot, unfortunately, go to the surface, otherwise I'd have to make a 3D skybox, which is still my weakest point currently, so yeh...Forgive me if the map isn't exactly the same scale as in the movie, I was aiming for it, but it didn't turn out as I hoped, but above that, it is still a good recreation. Mind you, all references I used are pictures from the movie, it was hard as it was making.

I made this a wip, because I had a lot of trouble making myself work on it (do note, that before I stopped for a while, when I first started, I was working hard at it for about two weeks), when I wanted to work on other projects. Also because I'll be away for 5 weeks, in that time, I am hoping that people will report any bugs with the map, apart from the issues list, don't worry, the final version will be as polished as I can make it, after any bug fixes and all the "to-do's" added.

Special thanks (credit) to Komaokc for the lava texture used in this map (I edited the vmt though).

Enjoy the first Bionicle Map on workshop, even if it's wip!
