.: Aftermath :. New Pics

Post by an emu »

I'm working on yet another city map that i call aftermath. This is my first map (not counting the box with a tunnel i made to get the feel for how this all worked) so i need some help with a few little things.

1. if you make a ladder can it be a plane with unattached edges
2. I cant get water to turn out right.
3. which team index is red/blue for flag placement and spawn points
4. maybe if u guys think this map isnt horrible i could use some beta testing.

The map is supposed to take place in a city that has just been hit by the covenant so the textures and buildings are supposed to look that way i.e. bullet holes and broken buildings. The buildings are meant to look like they were hit by a bomb or something, so they will have big holes torn through them (they are not there as of now). Right now the other side of the destroyed bridge is not accessable for gameplay reasons. The map is medium sized i think about 10,000 x 10,000 with about 10,000 x 5,000 accessable. but, the map has tons of places to hide and many routes to the flag (not sure if it should be cut down but i think its good). Most roofs are accessable and there is always a way to suprise attack someone with a rocket launcher or grenade or snipe people from the top of a building. Modelling is of couse not finished and texturing is coming along. Any help with scenery or anything would be great
P.S. this is a completely gmax made map and its as good as anything i ever made with 3ds minus animations

there's an enemy around every corner

these screenshots really only show half of the map. there are no screenshots of the bases or the courtyard i will get some later once it is textured
Comments and suggestions please

Looks cool, some things you need to UVW map like the ledge in the last picture.
Your image cannot exceed 400x200 or 50kb

the buildings are more just cubes in this build. expect more design in the final. i might make a custom weapon or two but the main thing right now is the texturing and bsp

I think you should change the treshold of some of those options. And btw, fixe those white buildings; Create shaders for every bitmap ;p
But i like the total design of this map. Good job. :D

update: oh ya i got the barrels to explode like they should now and im working on a truck for scenery. the bsp is about 80% skinned and the street layout is going to be changed a bit. instead of having a direct street to the flag that a vehicle can easily take, they will be forced around a few buildings. there will be a small, elevated street that is hard to navigate with a vehicle. you access this street by breaking glass into a shop window, then up and out the back stairs. this street will have access to sniping positions and good cover from enemy fire. i am debating whether or not to have teleporters in this level. what do u think? teleporters or not?
pics to come...

EDIT: new pictures: (ignore uvw mapping, gmax perspective view doesnt render them correctly from non perpendicular angles. in the game it will look normal)
