This is my first map.How does it looks?It's far from over.

It looks ok, it is a nice concept for a map, from close up I think the textures will be very streched, so you need to enlarge the uv mapping on that, it is also quite neat for mountains. Needs tunnels and ways to get around. Some interior details like maybe a large room in the mountain so it would use up the space would be quite good i think, or lots of tunnels which connect to everywhere.

It looks good for a first map.

i want to build a bridge but i don't know how to.Like i said its only the beginning.

Just box model a bridge, get a box and give it like 4x4x2 segments and rotate the polygons or move the vertex down on it. Then add details like give it a railing possibly or whatever u want and it will look good.

You're better off making the bridge a scenery object. Very nice map, but if you keep those textures I'd suggest making the walls more 'organic'.

can someone make a bridge as a scenery(i will give you credit)?
or show wheres a tut?

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 7:15 am

There is a tut on the internet, but it is for making like a modern wooden bridge that someone would have over like a pond in their guarden or somthing.

You have alot of polygons on the bottom of the bridge, alot you dont need, so i would loose some there unles you plan to make some extra detail with them.

The bridge does suit the map quite well, it has a futuristic and original idea to it. I would keep it, but maybe on the edges make like a ramp dype thing so you dont have to jump up onto it, so just move those vertex and the vertex under it down until it is a ramp. Just take the bridge model, or save the map, and open a new gmax file and just merge the bridge object(s).

Fine any edges that are open, and vertex weld them to another set of open vertex which they are supposed to be welded to, but i dont know why the game engine wont except open edges... seems a bit stupid. If that doesnt work, deleting them could work, but im not sure... It is probably quite a common problem though.

Will you be including any custom weapons/vehicles/player models ?
