Happy 7th anniversary of the WIP in WIP thread!

Looks cool, Paulmega! Interested in seeing how this turns out.

One note, though- in the second screenshot, that ground looks awfully flat going out into the distance. Just make sure to add some turn/cover/height variation there going forward (which from the looks of it, you're planning on doing).

Cheers! Yeah I was still working on the second part of that map, experimenting a little because I'm not very good with displacements yet

EDIT: Pushing forward:

Working on Smissmas Eve, making sure a9 is as good as possible

Doing some final layout changes before optimisation and release of a9, Smissmas is coming!

Detailing bunker because I really feel like detailing things.






also, what kind of settings would one use on fog when stuff is under the ground?

( I really like these new thumbnails. )

 

[UKCS-Alias]

For underground fog take the average color of all the texturing in the area. And for the rest still do the same as fog above the ground except maybe make it start to fade earlier. Note that you arent required to have a dark color at all, when in real life at a distance there is still light that can already get a brigher area. The darkness should simply be what you prefer it to be. And most important, it shouldnt harm player visiblity.

I see you little jimi-jam...

Seriously though, that looks sweet

 

[Lain]

Absolutely beautiful. I'm really looking forward to playing this.

Now the inside area is finaly an inside. Still needs some work to make it look a bit more interesting. but its a start.

So yea... I'm quite new to the mapping scene. But so far I'm loving it! I was dicking around with random stuff I had no idea how it worked and eventually it shaped into (hopefully) my first map. So far, I've only done a spawn room and a last point on a 5cp map. No idea what else to do. Here's some screens: http://imgur.com/a/tElAr
Any advise?

Looks awesome and sandy, but I would say that the fog is just a bit too thick. I don't think the bot models have the same definition as the normal player models, so clarity is a must.

I like the vantage point around and routes to the bomb pit

Welcome to the forums, it's always a pleasure to have new people here. Just a forewarning you're overscaling the map by several hundred units it looks like, possible even a thousand or so. Might want to shrink things down or compile and walk around in game and think about how open and wide all of it is. This is a common mistake but a very fixable one. If you want tutorials or any sort of help just feel free to ask or look around.

Rule of thumb the walls of my buildings range from 192 ~ 256 in height and 8~32 in thickness. You can go taller with wall height of course, depends on the situation.

Ok this is the FINAL a9 wip stack before the update, but I redid third and last

Yea, I did think it was too big. I'm gonna fix it, probably as soon as I post this. And I've been watching UAEK Crash's Tutorials so far. Thanks for the advise.
