WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Think I realized what's wrong with the cart. The texture has no depth. It's flat color, flat scrapes, flat grain. Needs to be painted, as has been said a thousand times for a thousand textures. Phong shading would definitely help.

 

[English Mobster]

Well, those renders are from 3DS Max. Can't do phong shading in there without a bunch of plugins.
I'll set the parameters for phong in the VMT and get you pictures once it's ingame.

Why is the bomb wearing a thong?

 

[Terwonick]

I always try to think of stuff with a more of a "why not" approach, and you can tell it's VERY a special gift...

 

[re1wind]

Why is the bomb wearing a thong?

Because it got phong shaded. :thumbup:

Well, you know how strippers sometimes jump out of cakes...?

For some reason I'm getting reminiscences of jumping puzzles in the lost land in Turok

So this is my proposed plan for a3 of alborn_township. C has already been moved further back but Im still deciding what to do with B.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Putting B inside in a corner like that will make it hard, but maaaaybe that will work with some tweeking of the area. Give it a shot, post what you do, and lets see what you got.

Make sur eyou don't have a sightline from A to B though.

 

[re1wind]

it also looks like after B has been captured the area around it will be predominantly ignored, due to lack of importance for C.

Being in a corner isn't necessarily bad: dustbowl stage 1, point 2

 

[AgeNt_]

I settled on not moving the point back and to just put the raised platform area indoors.

this picture was a concept picture of what i would do.

and this is what i did

I did move the spawn up a bit, should have people get confused now and more people would go towards the point room. I might open that room up just a bit now to make it less cramped now that its indoors.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

No, you have to move it. its really too close where it is already. Just breaking the sightline won't work.

 

[LeSwordfish]

Also, looks like there's a sightline along the road from B to C.

and this is what i did

Please for the love of whatever deity you believe in/the deity of the closest person to you don't use those trees, use the leafless cp_manor trees rexy made. They even have autumn skins for the leaves!

Or [no offence to Rexy's great tree models] make something imaginitive other than a tree.

Well I'm finally getting around to making my first ever map. I don't have any experience in hammer at all over a few hours so i'm not making maps for people to play i'm learning as i go along

My map plan is for red to have a villian lair inside of a volcano with the point in the middle underneith a mass of tv's and computers all comic styley (Sorta like the original glados too)
gonna be hard for me to do and even then it'll probably just look like nucleus ha! Picture is the rough draft of the villians conference room (map is a placeholder for the tv)

Yes i know it sucks

 

[TheKieranator]

Yes i know it sucks

Sucks? I would say that is a solid effort. Most beginners (I'm probably guilty of this too :O) get the scale completely wrong and make the geometry far too big. I like what you have and encourage you to keep working. After all, not enough maps have volcanos and/or lava.
