PREVIEW: New Map - ? By RiMiNi

[RiMiNi]

hey, started a new map and want you opinion before i release the first beta. I attached the bsp file as well as some pics. Please dont comment on misaligned textures etc. I just want to get an idea of whether or not the map is worth continuing, and if you have any suggestions for the layout.

-Cheers, RiMiNi

Looks surprisingly dt-esque.

[jitspoe]

Looks almost exactly like sand assault at first glance.

Looks almost exactly like sand assault at first glance.

That's exactly what I was going to say.

[Eiii]

Sand assault, with one wall slightly moved! Kind of narrow in places, as well.

Sheesh, when did you're mapping ability get so high?  Stellar stuff RiMiNi.

[b00nlander]

not sassault, there are 2 bridges here.

[UDead]

i say continue the mapping, it looks good.

[KnacK]

Nice RiMiNi.

Others should learn from this....

[RiMiNi]

lets just say dt is the best mapper ever. crash's pp1 was good and has sick jumps but most of the brushing is rather simple. but dt actually makes terrain and such and his maps are more complex and i like that. kinda idol for mapping i guess, or rather i like to learn from his maps... :x (rather lame to have an idol for like mapping in a computor game 8-|...)

Hi Rimini,

your mapping skills have really come on, this is impressive!

However, as a lot of these boys have pointed out it is practically pbcup_sasassult:



The number of similarities and direct copies just in those 2 screenshots bother me a bit.

DT is a very good mapper, but there's a difference between appreciating someones style and just copying his work. I'm not saying you are plagiarising because I don't think it was your intention to just rip someone's map off an call it your own. Just remember that we already HAVE a sandassault, we don't really need another!

You're you're obviously a competant mapper now, turn your hand to something original and blow us away.

edit: fixed image, ta jits

[KnacK]

At least it has better lighting

[jitspoe]

Aside from the sassault similarities, you have a lot of wood grain textures that need rotating.  Also, crates aren't really structurally sound.  I don't think they could support giant posts like that.  I think it would look better if they just went straight into the ground.

DrRick: Your image is gone now.

1)



Pls, delete these blockers.

2)



Add something simple to get back on the bridge

3)



same here

4)

 This is a good 2on2 maybe 3on3 map, but if u want that  clans will play your map in matches , u have to add more ways and a second flag like oth

[Deranged]

mm, good work jonny. Pm me when you get on irc next

[Prime24]

like the map...it is very similar to sand assualt...but can see the difference

[Termin8oR]

Nice map.

I also think its a smaller/revised/lag free verson of sand assault, unless I am the only DP player still using a dinosaur computer!
