WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

[Boylee]

That is an awful lot of cubemaps brah.

 

[Sel]

It's actually not.

 

[Burnout6010]

Tell me whenever you think something looks bad and where I can fix some things up.
FYI, that third screenshot shows areas I haven't finished at ALL, so don't judge me on that 3rd screenshot

Thanks

I'm seeing one major right to that point, and it's very short, with a tight elbow bend for a flank. That worries me. You may want to look at payloads like Barnblitz or Boundary to see how multiple paths in tightly packed areas can work.

Boundary ? I'll download that one and look at Barnblitz with more care. I didn't understand which area you meant thought : the tunnel from mid to B or the tiny dev textured platform which leads to the back of the map ?

I specifically mean this

Nowhere do I see any other entrances or places to be other than this one tunnely area. Look at how Gold Rush stage 3 is a hallway of spam, then look at your map. You've got less places for players to be. How do you think it will turn out?

The dev textured platform is a start, but you need to turn the elbow into an area, not a hallway, and maybe look at other ways to work in flanks and side routes.

It's possible I don't fully understand the area, but take it in mind anyway.

So maybe turn the upper tunnel (with the spawn) into an area with stairs arranged into corners (like in GoldRush, red spawn in Stage 3 final cap, the stairs that lead to the sniper deck) and eventually add more cover in the South "tunnel" (with the stairs and the track) ?

I might need to post the map to the forums in the Workshop so you can check it out for yourself, top view only is hard to understand, I agree

EDIT : Did I forget to say it's a Tug O War pl map ? So mirrored map because both teams can push

If you put the gutter directly under the roof overhang, I bet you'd have room for another length of downspout and not have to hang the bottom bendy part that far above the ground. And once you start displacing said ground, you could use a blendtexture to have a spot right under there where the water has melted the snow.

I'm gonna upload Arroyo B3 when I'm not so lazy

Also ARE YOU HAPPY NOW YYLER

THAT WAS PAINFUL TO DO

 

[tyler]

I'm happy, but are you?

 

[Micnax]

I'm happy, but are you?

Of course. Any progress gets my closer to an RC release, so it's most excellent.

Anyway, here's an overview:

 

[tyler]

That's a very aesthetically pleasing overview

So this is my third map so far...

It's almost finished, but I think it's missing something.
I can't quite put my fingers on it...

If you have any ideas, let me know...

It looks to me like your map is a bit over scaled and pretty wide open. And what is going on with that glow on the control points?

Well, first, the map is designed that way ( Attack - Defense ) and the glowing control points are stylized in a future / high-tech style. The glow actually changes color depending who's owning the point.

( or it's the FOV that's way up )

I guess what I'm trying to say is it looks like there is a lot of unused space. Now I'm not saying you need to fill it in (you don't want your map to be too cluttered), I'm just suggesting you scale down a bit. That's only one opinion though. In the end it's your map, so you should do what you want to do.

It looks like your ceilings are disproportionately low for how huge those spawnrooms are.

 

[soylent robot]

given the height of those platforms combined with railings, it looks like that it would be pretty difficult to rocket jump up there for the average player, even tho the layout looks to be encouraging that approach.

Funny you said that, because I've just test the map, and tried to rocket jump...

It's very close, but a well calculated rocket jump can be use to get to the higher platforms.

however, it's got to be perfect.
