Poll: Smack Maps
« on: May 14, 2007, 05:47:50 PM »
Hey, I know i haven't released a map in a while, but this is just because i honestly don't know what kind of maps this community is into nowadays. So i made a list of maps I'm working on and put it to a vote. These maps are barely started and could change a lot from what they are now. Basically, vote for the one you want me to finish and release. Here are some shots and a short description of each map included in the poll...

Map 1: Swamptime
This map is my first attempt at a swamp themed map. It uses some new effects I've never used, such as fog and flowing mist. The layout for this map is there is going to be one path on the ground of course, then one path on wooden bridges through the trees, and maybe an underground path. Here are some pictures of what i've started already:




Map 2: Flooded in Remix
This map is actually a remake of a map i created earlier which wasn't that great. Now, I've put a lot more effort into making it look cool, and i've also started non flooded paths and flooded paths in this warehouse-themed map.




Map 3: Dark Paintball
This is another map that i am trying to make look cool. It's just an outdoor night map, but there may be indoor sections too. These are pictures of the yellow base:




Map 4: 8ight (pronounced eight-ight)
Finally, we have 8ight. (it gets its name from the fact that when done it will be shaped like a figure 8). This is an attempt at a somewhat shazam style map, with large curves and abrupt jumps. Here are some shots of this valley-style map:




So, these are my map beginnings. Vote for the one you want to see finished!

1 looks great, though I can't imagine all the tight pathways up there having fun gameplay. 2 is too blue, 3 is a speedball map, so that leaves 4. If you can clean it up some, it looks to me like it could be a pretty good map. :)

well, remember that on 2 i am showing the blue base. the rest of the map will be white and on the red side, red.

Also, where did you get the idea 3 was speedball?

If you look on the bottom screeny there's two blue arrows on a pad... looks like it may just be half or less of the map were looking at.  Is that the case SW?

if you put a LOT of detail into number 1 I think it could turn out pretty neat.

I think it would be hard to get #1 to look very good without a lot of custom swamp-type textures with alpha channels.  Otherwise it'll look rather cheesy, in my opinion.

from the screens #1 looks cool, #4 would probably better suit the dp style of play.

yes, this is the blue side of the map. All the maps are only done as far as the first base.
