finally have an idea for a map, but one quick question

[Sean of the Dead]

should i complete the floor plan, then do buildings? or should i do them both at the same time?

 

[DJive]

I personally always do floor layout first before anything else. All depends your mapping style.

well most maps have more than one layer so I make the ground and then add blocks to be building which I then clip the innerds out of then last thing I seal it off with a skybox

I always do floor layout, then mock up buildings (just to get proportions down). Then when I'm happy, I pick a building or an area and start working it. If I get bored of working on the same thing, I will switch to a different area, and come back later.

 

[Sean of the Dead]

i think im going to divide the map into different parts, then start with the floorplan for each part, then the walls/buildings, then move on to another part

and this map is a port of a map from a console game, so I have my TV right next to me, and Im switching back and forth between them xD

after thinking about it, im going to remake it, it will be different, so it will fit in w/ TF2's gameplay styles

No offense at all. But surf maps look so.. horribly horribly awful.

they will never make it *big* on TF2 because

1. its stupid.
2. there is no quality to it, TF2 players expect something more.
