WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Funny thing is, Rexy started that one too. Remember Zinkenite's first alpha?

the one upsidedown on the ceiling?

It's been a while....

I'm returning to mapping after spending some time improving my modeling skills (check out my workshop items if you like). The MvM mode inspired me to start a new project (which I'm hopefully completing this time).

I've already slapped together a function complete version for testing (layout and game logic all set up and working). Figuring out the bot navigation logic has been a bit tricky. Some of the areas need to be changed though because they're too boring right now and I'm going to add another 1024 units to the second half of the map because it's a little too short right now.

I'm not sure about the snow style, yet. Maybe I'll switch to more halloween/swampy style. What would you prefer?

Here are some screenshots from a quick compile:

Anything that's not desert is awesome.

Updated the second half's layout. I'm going to create a thread once I've updated the bot navigation logic and have a mission ready for testing.

can you take full size screens next time? can hardly tell what is going on

Maybe he has a 640x480 monitor.

I can't help but laugh.

Your wish is my command poopsniff.

i am getting close to the end very very slowly

Yes I do. Next time I'm going to stitch a few screenshots together to create a larger image.

No seriously, the full sized image was 1920x5400 and since it's only a preview I've decided to scale it down. Once the thread is up I'm going to add proper sized screenshots.

What if you didn't stitch together five screenshots and instead just posted each one alone

 

[Gadget]

Sure, if you'd prefer that.

What's the point of a model i-beam if there's a brush one right above it? I don't like the red in the recessed doorway, same goes for the sideways computer bank (you could easily leave that face empty, the ramp up is detailed enough with the pipes and whatnot).

2nd point laid out! This is probably gonna be a 3 cp A/D?

The scout's there to hold the door open.

The raised-up platform on the point looks like it'd be an overpowered sentry spot. Walls on 3 sides and no easy way to spam into it.

That's extremely probable; I was intending it to be a sentry spot. Maybe shrinking the wall so the sentry can be edged easier would help. There definitely wont be much metal near there.

Don't change it yet. Never, ever, EVER, be afraid to make a point TOO defendable for testing. It's easier to make something really defensible, and scale back... than to make something too easy, and force defense into an area.

Learned that doing Rust's final stage.

 

[Ptimz]

It isn't that big of a change, and would be simple to revert, I think.

Also, put this in for spies or whoever.

This thing is a granary style dropdown now. you take 16 damage from the fall and there is a med health at the bottom.

It looks fine and all, but I'd personally prefer some screenshots that gives a better overview over the areas you are showing. It's hard to judge a tiny area without knowing the context in which it is placed.
