TOXINATED · « **Reply #61 on:** January 01, 2008, 12:00:25 PM »

Lol, I'm very new too map making. And all the layouts seem.. Well.. Complicated.. :$

w3b5t3r · « **Reply #62 on:** January 01, 2008, 12:15:56 PM »

Oh, the .map, not the map lol but, do you like the compilated map ? (.bsp)

For the mapmaking, you need to practise, like for the jump

w3b5t3r, this is much better, I think it's about as good as it's going to get, so well done.

I'm really not sure whether it'll play so well with Autocockers, etc... instead of PGP's, but it should be quick and fun nonetheless.

Time to crack on with new ideas and new challenges!

p.s Toxinated, make a new thread in the mapping section discussing what you would like to know in detail.

Do you think I should replace Autocockers and Automags to Spyders and VMs ?

DrRickDaglessMD · « **Reply #65 on:** January 01, 2008, 01:01:58 PM »

nah, don't worry about it - most people will prefer guns. Those that don't can come on the DarkP server as we'll run a custom ent file for all the maps in the maplist where all the spawns don't give any guns.

Very nice map.

As far as I remember that startsolid means that you have some CO2 tanks inside some brush. Might want to recheck on that. Nevermind that the background scene is from mid (I played ur map and then when new map came I scrolled up in console).

If anyone cares then I won all bots!!!!!!!!!!!

TOXINATED · « **Reply #67 on:** January 01, 2008, 01:58:30 PM »

Okay, will do Dr.

w3b5t3r · « **Reply #68 on:** January 02, 2008, 03:09:35 AM »

Well, now how can I send my map to a public server ?

blaa · « **Reply #69 on:** January 02, 2008, 03:15:31 AM »

You properly present your finished map. Give some more screenies, create a good .zip file (gather all custom textures and other files in it). Serverowners will then download it and upload it

. You can also ask serverowners to add your map to their rotation.

Ok, thank you

Now, it's declined in 2 versions, the fast (the one is uploaded in this thread) and a low one, with only VMs and Spyders

- The Fast one here
- The Low one here

I have edited some graphic mistakes

http://zilla-clan.net/upload/744686 (it's the fast)

jitspoe · « **Reply #71 on:** January 03, 2008, 01:08:49 AM »

I think it still needs some work, personally. I've attached a demo of some things that could use revising (note that I put the map in the maps/beta directory, not maps, so you'll probably have to move it to watch the demo).

Also, I don't really like the idea of having two of the exact same map, the only difference being the weapon entities.

w3b5t3r · « **Reply #72 on:** January 03, 2008, 02:53:54 AM »

Ok, but you could tell me what sohould be changed in the 3rd link

jitspoe · « **Reply #73 on:** January 03, 2008, 03:18:08 AM »

Is the 3rd one that different from the others? I thought they were all pretty much the same.

w3b5t3r · « **Reply #74 on:** January 03, 2008, 03:58:37 AM »

No in the 3rd one I fixed some graphic mistakes (but not all you said in the demo)

EDIT : Now you can go on the last room where it's written "Thanks 4 playing"

EDIT : I've puted some light sources, I compile it and I upload it

EDIT : New one here (it's the fast, i won't upgrade the low anymore)

jitspoe · « **Reply #75 on:** January 03, 2008, 04:16:44 PM »

The leak is back. I've attached another demo.

w3b5t3r · « **Reply #76 on:** January 04, 2008, 03:57:06 AM »

Can you tell me where is the leak ?

Eiii · « **Reply #77 on:** January 04, 2008, 11:52:48 AM »

Brush-based entities don't block VIS. Make sure everything there is reverted to world.

It looks like the leak might be around the brush you're in, anyway.

jitspoe · « **Reply #78 on:** January 04, 2008, 03:02:28 PM »

Move around in the 3D view and follow the line - looks like there's a gap where... well, right where the line is.

w3b5t3r · « **Reply #79 on:** January 05, 2008, 03:22:17 AM »

This line disappeared, but I stiil have a leak and i don't see where

EDIT : The leak is down

http://zilla-clan.net/upload/060993

I'm looking for something to add in the map, anybody got ideas ?

EDIT : I've added a personnal texture, but the picture is reverse, how can I change it ?
