Working on a new map

DHR_000x · Post by **DHR_000x** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 7:28 pm

Ok, i just draw my new idea in my mapsnoticebook ^^ But i dont know what textures to use...

it really doesnt matters what textures to use, i just want to know what would you like more.

I'll open a poll

I would like to start texturing next week so the poll will work just 3 days

I'm open to suggestions of any type. I'll post screenshots of the map evolution and i hope to finish it in 1-2 weeks because i'm on holydays now ;)

PS: Cynyx i changed some things of dm_cottage_emc2 and when you have a bit of time could we test that FPS problem? thxthx

Thx

I think about a map like dod_forest (from day of defeat).

Look at these kind of textures :

it could be sweet i think.
hl2 needs some "natural" environement maps ^^.

images comes from dod_forest and dod_flash

Lol i thinked the same ^^

I will ook if i can import textures or models from hl2ep2 because theres the white forest and so, lots of "green" textures n trees, becaus the hl2 models are to boring...

think about on server can host the map too.
I dunno where to put a forrest map...

I vote for photorealistics textures.

Photorealistic textures would be great but its not easy to do that

Post by **Cynyx** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 10:24 am

Its startin to look very cool ^^... i'll post soon some screens, but im afraid of cynyx and what he will think about the map xD

DHR_000x · Post by **DHR_000x** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 3:05 pm

My map will be on test (on a dedicated server) tomorrow i hope bcz i finished it.

One last thing that i want is to make no smg spawn on my map, i tried things like trigger_weapon_strip but i cant make anything with that. Anti Fougere can you help me with that? I know you made something like that.

Thank you ;)

Thx zoubab, but this is just what i dont want to do, but im not sure if theres an other solution

DHR_000x · Post by **DHR_000x** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 7:45 pm

Here some pictures of the beta version (playable) of my map

The labyrinth is just a fun factor, its not a puzzle map ;)

About FPS there are all around 140 - 297 fps but only if you look the whole map (the whole map on your screen) fps decrease to 35

Hope you like it and i hope to test it sonn with all of you ;)

Post by **Cynyx** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 7:59 pm

hmmmm ...
need to be tested ...
but i don't hide my first feelings : very septical about gameplay on a such map.

DHR_000x · Post by **DHR_000x** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 9:12 pm

septical? of course it isnt a killbox_kbh but it is far away from a dm_lockdown for example

SoOPaH · Post by **SoOPaH** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 11:02 pm

hmmm, maybe make some other building? and map will be great (nice texture)

like this

or more building but that must stay a labyrinth

i think you should create some jumpstuff (things to jump high, like in the center) or hi-speed platform IN the labytinth, for not being angry or fustrated when tou get lost ... no?
