so i started a new map.
it is:
-1 flag
-2 flags
-koth
-pong

the map is almost done, but half of it is empty and i dont know what else to put.
i have some sshots, here they are...

Looks good for pong, but you'll need a lot more bunkers and some alternate paths for the other modes.

im thinking of making like caves or underground tunnels for secondary path.
i have two ideas for the map so tell me which one you like.

here are two screenshots.

those brown things represents the entraces of the caves.
the red line is one idea, the idea is to put 2 caves that goes from the middle to the base.

the blue one is just one cave that goes underground and takes you to the other side. this one might be useless so im thinking maybe the red one.

i could also make all caves to connect.
so....

That would work, except I think you should make the entrance be in the back of the base, like into that little hut thing, otherwise there's still only one main entrance into the base (through the crate pile). The blue path could be useful for confusing the enemy -- you run into the cave an they expect you to come out of the red entrance, but instead you come out in the middle and shoot 'em in the back or something.

well i dont think it is possible to make the entrace on the hut because the hut is too small.
maybe if i did the entrace on top of the base so that way you just jump to get the flag. but you couldnt go back into the cave.

I think it would be better to have it so you can easily get into and out of the cave. Perhaps put the entrance right on top of the hut?

Let me know when I can look at it.

Cobo · « **Reply #8 on:** August 16, 2005, 12:29:42 PM »

well i started to make the caves, i have only done the ones that are 2 so i still have to make the ones that join the caves.
the entrace of the cave that goes to the base looks very unnatural, so i have to work on them a little more.

im making a final compile so i can release the test, but its taking forever, it has 10016 numportals.

Cobo · « **Reply #14 on:** August 16, 2005, 06:37:17 PM »

ahhhhhh!!!!!
the compile doesnt advance.
it stopped on here:
---- vis ----
testlevel = 4
reading C:\bsp\quake2\pball\mapfiles\bok.bsp
reading C:\bsp\quake2\pball\mapfiles\bok.prt
3023 portalclusters
10045 numportals
0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9... (171)
0...1...2...3...

the compiler just advanced a little

jitspoe · « **Reply #18 on:** August 16, 2005, 08:41:44 PM »

I was wondering that myself -- the map doesn't look complex enough to have that many numportals.

Cobo · « **Reply #19 on:** August 16, 2005, 09:39:09 PM »

what exactly are the numportals and how can i reduce them?
