Pool party baby, it was a cool party, cool pool party, la la la la.

Way late, but I couldn't let this Aquabats reference go unnoticed. Hi5. :thumbup:

YOU MUST place jawbreakers in this map. FOR THE LULS.

Map will have a new name when done but for now...here's a couple of screen
shots. Feedback appreciated - haven't mapped for a while now.

Looking down at start:

Some of the Path near the end - you start way down below on the far left:

Inside the cave for a fight - you come won from the top center then start moving up - I'm on the 3rd ledge you can make the 2nd out to the right - way down below to the right is going to be a lake for some water fights.

And add lights into your map as well.

yep lights will come - doing the rough build now - have no idea where to put the checkpoints / levels yet - cart will have to go up a 60 degree slope near the start while under fire will make it hard.

If you are fully detailing the map, have no lights, and don't know where to put capture points, you're designing the map wrong. You need to start with dev textures, consider layout and choke points and capture points, etc. Give the Tutorial board a good reading through.

Here's the original map:

It has some good shots of what this one might look like.

I'm gonna argue the start with dev textures thing, but everything else, yeah. It helps me a lot to do some basic texturing and get a feel for the area, which in turn gives me ideas for or sections, and so on and so forth.

I know some other mappers who are the same way, there are many roads to a completed map

EDIT: And honestly I'd say thats probably about the level of detail I'd do for a first pass on a map.

The shadows in your later screenies worry me, bug. Makes me think that your track models are dynamic

 

[Fruity Snacks]

It looks like they are floating

 

[Languid]

They are, but there shouldnt be any shadows in fullbright unless they're dynamic

I did not know that... good to know...

I'll just leave this here.

OK, I was gonna say, a silo with only ONE hat? How low class can you get.

 

[Seba]

I can go all day, son

Also: fuck you paintables

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Mine can't get really any taller, when I adjusted the height of the skybox for the last hat I messed something up and a ton of micro leaks appeared.
