WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

[Etasus]

Shit ton of work today:

Spoiler: WIP screenshots

I managed to completely seal my map from the god awful skybox, threw rubble into the exits (to make it seem like the map is more than just the final cp, and also to keep them in the final cp area), threw some signs around to tell you what point you're trying to cap, and threw in a nice set of things to break up the wall texture... I completely forgot about red's spawn, and should probably fix that...

I feel like the sand blend texture would work better for those displacements of rubble. Just my thoughts though.

Need to work on the lighting and such. My entry for the CP contest

This is far from being ready to be released, but I think it's in a state where I can post some screenshots of it:

I don't care too much about lighting at the moment, I'm currently just trying to get the gameplay details in...

Light is a very essential part in gameplay. Its more important than you realize. Improper lighting can guide players to the wrong direction and this does heavily affect the outcome of a map. If players dont notice a doorway and dont use it, once its lit the map changes since they will use that doorway, any playtesting before lighting up that doorway is for that reason mostly useless on that part.

Dont underestimate the power of light. Its has the power to control the behaviour of players.

As a famous pyro sith lord once said "You dont know the power of the dark side (of the map)"

I understand this... I don't care about lighting at the moment, for the sole reason that I'm trying to get the details in...
My goal is to make the details first, then get any gameplay elements in, essential if this were to be an actual map (like signs and such), then I will do a major lighting pass for the final contest... If I like the map enough, I may make it into an actual map...

It's not that I don't care about lighting at all, I understand the importance of lighting, but right now, I'm mostly just trying to make the map look good...

The magic and the mystery of custom icons

That last one, it scares me.

 

[Viemärirotta]

I made something. (I also believe this is my first wip post on this thread)

Mind the quality of the screenshots.

Curved ramps are hard... I recommend you make them full-on stairs, as that is easier to make... you will need to be able to clip them, but it won't be hard...

 

[Crowbar]

Curved ramps are hard

not if you know how to do it
winks at viper

 

[killohurtz]

Not to mention, if you're clipping a spiral staircase, you're basically making a spiral ramp anyway

Couldn't make layout so I decided to make art

I'm a little scared, to be honest.

Compile that.

 

[Crowbar]

Compile that.

As apparent from vertex white squares drawing on some vertices but not all, these are displacements, and these displacements can't be gonna cause any problems to compilers, I believe.

I'm less scared, but still kinda scared...

 

[BigfootBeto]

I can make art too...

The fully lit windows in broad daylight look a tad odd to me, but otherwise looks radical so far!
