Title: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: VirtualTT on April 18, 2007, 06:22:24 pm
I didn't come to any suiteable tw layout for my new tw map. So i decided to create this thread to see if someone has any ideas. It's basically aligned for those skilled tw players usually idling on tw server.
please post sketchy view of the map... and it shouldn't clone any old tw maps...

Rather than going up a hill in the middle, you go down into a canyon, and back up. =O

that would be fun but what would prevent mass spraying from one side to next?
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: Blue-ninja on April 18, 2007, 07:16:52 pm
A spike right down in the middle. Simple as that. Or, to make it look better, add clouds and put colliders in them.

Well i saw a thread about a big hill filled with stat guns on top. Would be wikked in a tw map i think personally. I'd put it on the server if its good. Capturing the flag is not really possible but that doesn´t matter i think.

http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=12669.0

Red/Blue running for the top trying to breakthru. Lots of trenches and cover places on the hill. Maybe  some bunkers etc. Make it your style virtualTT and its gonna be good anyway.
Lemme know if i can help ya somehow

I like this idea. i don't think that too much spray would be possible since tw maps are quite long. Also statguns range isn't that large. But with the long slope going up when you are getting to enemy's base it'll be very difficult to get the flag. Attacking players will become much slower and defending team's weapons range will be increased.

Sounds like a winner!
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: Wraithlike on April 18, 2007, 11:18:03 pm
the slope should be lessened if you were to make that though, that steepness would allow for too much speed to be gathered.
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: Blacksheepboy on April 18, 2007, 11:32:48 pm
Yeah I like this idea. As long as it isn't to cramped and the hill is a nice casual steepness. At first when I heard this idea with the valley I thought, "No way," but since it would be nice and spread out, sounds good to me.
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: Gippal on April 19, 2007, 12:18:43 am
I didn't intend for the slope to be steep, but I didn't feel like resizing everything. =P

I'm glad you guys like my layout! But, even bigger thanks to VTT if he makes it. =)

Anyways, feel free to edit the idea to your hearts content!
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: iDante on April 19, 2007, 12:20:23 am
Also with the canyon idea I can see getting down to the floor a problem due to fall damage, add jets if you make it.
I love the idea with the clouds, but make breaks so that you can shoot through in a few places :)
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: Gippal on April 19, 2007, 01:23:35 am
Or add a few camonets with colliders on top to allow some areas of safe passage. Would certainly make more sense than bullet-stopping-clouds. (Not taking any shots at your idea.)

Clouds and protective camonets might work too, though.

make a TW map with a very low roof, basically a one wayed cave. never seen an actual roof in TW maps, and a big tunnel would be a nice new experience

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but does TW maps have to be based on WW2 ideas? Or could you use a modern looking map? If you can use a modern looking map I have the perfect idea. But please answer my question as soon as you can. :)

no, they can be based on anything. search for tw_tronwars and if that is WWII I must have missed something. (though noone plays tronwars anymore).
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: Sir Snipes on April 19, 2007, 11:08:06 am
Well I haven't got a picture of the layout or anything but....

Maybe have afew towers, I mean huge towers, 2/3 of them and have those bridges going between them all at different heights. The red flag will be on the left tower on the top and the blue flag would be on the floor of the tower on the right hand side.

There could also be one big underground carpark going throughout all the towers??
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: iDante on April 19, 2007, 11:21:55 am
eeh, most TW maps have only one route, but make it anyways as maybe an R/S map or just plain ctf.
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: VirtualTT on April 19, 2007, 12:28:34 pm
There is already map with one big tunnel - tw haunted, and it has horroble gameplay. So this idea doesn't seem to be perspective...

Yeah, tw maps can be based on anything. Here is my Tau building sketch:

hm, It would be cool to have a W40k style tw map. Can you make that kind of landscape? With machines scenery and buildings? This pic. above is a nice beginning. Can't wait untill you finish. I think you're going to make super uber mega fabulous map :) I hope there will be some place for Space Marines too.

Post by: LtHerbert on April 19, 2007, 02:24:45 pm
Ok two ideas both WW2 inspired. first an Iwo Jima map where one side is going down the hill and one side is landing on the beach and going up the hill with pill boxes scatterd here and there. Second is Americans trying to take a German bunker system that has corridors and different paths to take and stuff. Or ya a TW d-day map because no1 has made a TW d-day map and /I know VirtualTT can make the best one yet AND for TW

plus i dont like modern maps unl;ess its like a CS map or urben warfare like iraq but not futuristic cause it talkes away teh TW theme thats probobly why Tronwars is never played.
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread

Would it be sketchy if I alsop asked for an original TW Layout concept, because I'm wanting to make a WWI era Ottoman Empire themed map. And It seems like the theme would suit TW quute well.

I was always thinking about a map that is totally open, like having a big meadow being divided by  a road as the bottleneck or something.

Basically something totally without buildings.

And a map without that bottleneck would also be quite interesting to see.
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: -Skykanden- on April 20, 2007, 01:31:53 pm
for me a nice map can be:

one base (alpha)
one spaceship but you can walk on it (bravo)
a central edification with 2 stat guns
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: The Philanthropist on April 20, 2007, 09:04:49 pm
Vimy Ridge. Good old Canadian boys versus the Jerries.

Alpha (Canada) starts low on one side of the slightly steep ridge, and Bravo(Germany) starts on the other side of the ridge, on the plains (historically accurate). There could be pillboxes with stat guns, and actual trenches would serve as... well... the trenches. There was 4 sets of trenches, and a ridiculous amount of shellholes for you to hide it. Alphas base could have some stat guns that would allow them to spray up the hill (Heh, creeping barrage), and so would bravo. These stat guns would lessen the difficulty of climbing the ridge.

So this is progress so far:

(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8638/duneoyk9.jpg) (http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8638/duneoyk9.jpg)

I added *plastic* part to the texture. With some front sceneries buildings willl look like they are consist of various panels, blocks and have other hi-tech details wich makes them much more *futuristic*. Also i moved spaceships to prevent players from losing health when jumping out of it.

ToDo:

Any suggestions?
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: The Philanthropist on April 26, 2007, 06:20:30 pm
More trenches, please. I also think those lamp like things are a pain in the rear, make them into colliders.

My brother's making a Gallipoli map. 


In general, I think TW maps should have more trenches that you can stand safely in and fire out of.  A height where if you stand you can just fire out, and if you duck, you're well covered.  Some colliders on the lips of the trenches would be nice...
I think it should be easier to hide in the Trenches and fire out.

I suggest that you darken it a little and add a lying flare here and there. Maybe some wrecks of Tau vehicles?

 Hammerhead
 Shaper

That is one brilliant map! I love the Tau orca dropships as spawn points. Im trying to make some Warhammer 40,000-inspired vehicles for map gfx. Dont expect anything too flash It will take me a while to get the image right!
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: VirtualTT on April 28, 2007, 09:39:45 am
 :-\ I expected some ideas about trenches placing and structure. It really takes a lot of time to create and balance them, so joint efforts in this direction would be very helpfull. Also i'm still not certain with flag places disign.
Some wrecks of Tau vehicles sound intresting, however i don't know where to get proper sceneries for them. I'm thinking about adding krutox sceleton somewhere...
Custom sceneries is the last part of mapmaking, so i'll start working on them only after map structure is complite.

Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: Gippal on May 16, 2007, 05:38:23 pm
You're already working on a futuristic map, but you could try and style it like Halo. It would be a first for TW, and I don't think it would be too hard to find scenery.

You could make a teleporter that would boost the player up into a tower (not too high up). And then a teleporter leading back to the players base. It would have to be just right though, so player doesn't go splat. Invisible polygons set to 'only player collides' for certain parts would help.

I'll make a sub-layout thingy to show you.
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: spkka on May 16, 2007, 08:50:24 pm
hmm idea is nice (the bridge) but i wonder about the futuristic  style
i kinda like a dark war feeling in trenchwar maps
Title: Re: tw map layout brainstorm thread
Post by: Gippal on May 16, 2007, 09:35:05 pm
That doesn't mean the map can't be dark.

Another idea. If you've ever played Halo, on the levels you actually on the Halo, you can see the ring in the backround curving up into the sky. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, imagine standing on the inside of a giant ring, and how it would look like if you were looking into the horizon. It would rise up and over your head, and back down on the other side.

What I'm saying, is that it would be cool to have it in the background.

Post by: EnEsCe on May 17, 2007, 05:09:28 am
Us TW Server hosts really need some more maps with greater variety, the current maps are starting to get really stale and repetitive.

Also, it should always be red on the left and blue on the right side of the map...

Tau map is excelent, I love the rocky texture on the Orcas. Are you still working on it or is that the final result? I think it needs some structures on those open dips. A Hammerhead and a Skyray perhaps? Maybe even a Manta. Otherwise some small tunnels/bunkers would do the job, it's just too open at the moment. Also, congratulations on not being familiar with halo, it's a boring generic FPS.

Post by: Deadeye Rob on June 12, 2007, 10:15:54 am
Try looking at some ww2 movies like 'Behind enemy Lines' they have battles which concentrated over bridges.

Try bombed out multi-level buildings on each side for snipers, LAWers and whatnot. That serves as a strongpoint for defence. it can be a small map so long as the bridge has minimum cover, like a no-mans-land area.
The rest is just excruciating detail!

Post by: Pie on June 23, 2007, 01:15:16 am
Well, i dunno if you had a look at the map i made, but my idea was a city type theme, the way i tried to make it was that the boxes were big enough to provide cover and to stop people from charging in with the spas, but the buildings were asscessable from higher vantage points so you could flank the enemy. It also makes snipering harder, because you cant spam a sniper rifle shot into the enemies base.
I would really like to see a map like the one i tried to make. Also i think that a map made for a modification would be kinda strange, but in a good way. Also Ltherb said the reason tron was never played because it was to futuristic, WRONG! Tron was one of the best maps i had ever played, in fact i would rather tron be put back into to circulation in the place of doppleganger. Tron was an excelent map. Another idea i just had, A hard core veit cong map, run down old buildings and shanty town sort of setting, so the teams would start either on the beach or in a shack and rush through the jungle over logs, through streams and meet at a small veitnamies town and fight it out.

I skeched what i thought it would look like: I put it below because photobucket isnt working. Photobucket isn't working for me at all, i'll try and post a picture of what i mean, but i just realised you had already picked a map theme heh. My bad XD
I Vote agains't a 40k type map(Scince you've already started), i also vote agains't remakes of maps from exsisting games like CS, BF, halo Ect. I would really like to see VTT continue with original work. Maps that are based on exsisting games and levels of those games are boring in a way that, its the same level played from a 2d view. Well Whatever VTT makes, i know it will be good.

what about like a european town (look at the last major battle of "saving private ryan" when there in the town for example) but it would be more like main bunker - cratered field - town (bombed, with a fountain in the middle, liek the choke point, but on both sides would be like 2-4 sotry buildings to fire down from) then from the city it would go back to a cratered, trench field(like a farmers field) then back to a main bunker, maybe a destroyed tank sprite in the city or in the field there would definately need to be fire + rubble

If you're going to do another 40k map, I'd suggest a ruined hive city with an underhive.

Why not a Okami-themed map? That game was brilliant. Awesome art style even. New style to work with, even.

Well, I think if he releases Krath it should count as one.

So Tw Krath had been released (link (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=31520))
But i have another old unfinished map - tw Storm. Middle part was going to be without bunkers, just trenches, small tower and tonnel. But such layout needs more variety. I was planing to add crushed plain or something like that. So if someone has any ideas please post them here.

You could try using my idea from tw_Paroxysm of the middle point.  I like the idea of not having a bunker in the middle point, I think it'll bring a new gameplay experience.
