Dm MummyDance_v3 (and other such maps)
« on: March 10, 2007, 12:26:14 am »
This is my first map"pack" here containing really only 3 maps. I'll just call this my little "beta" mappack for now since there really aren't that many maps here.

(download at the bottom)

Dm_MummyDance (waypointed for your convenience -> by me): This map is probably the best out of these three. Basically, the battle takes place in and around a pyramid that has been overrun by terrorists, although they have been halted in firmly situating themselves inside the structure. The pyramid is suppose to have a mysterious feel to it although it doesn't quite fit that mood I innitialy intended for it, but this is rather a beta sort of version (almost done, just needs some fine tuning with waypointing and making it look more appealing).

Outside:




Mid Section:




Overview of 3rd version:




Dm/rambo_Grungy (I know, nice title...): This map is pretty fun with the rambo match, but otherwise isn't the greatest. It's a smaller map meant for quick gameplay. I have to admit it to though that it is my first map and you probably will see that in the waypointing and just how it feels. Don't be too disappointed though, it only earned its way here because its somewhat enjoyable singleplayer with a rambo match.

In a Rambo match here:




Dm/ctf/inf?_Infiltration: Don't play this single player and expect to have a good time but take a look at it anyways. This is my second map and requires waypointing (could do myself, but it seems to be too much of a hassle) but once again, don't be too dishearted because it does have a little bit of waypointing for the red team and is alright. Well good luck anyways...this map was just added because I made it and it wasn't the worst thing ever. I did take actual time on it ;).

Screenshot isn't required...

Version 3.0 Dm_Mummydance (Thought this version diserved some notes as to what I have fixed and changed):

Notes: Added and changed a lot of stuff on the map (including polygon coloring and stretching). Added different scenary to the entrance and outside and changed the lowest room to make it look more like a planning room and storage place. Also fixed up waypointing some more, so now this map works pretty well with bots.

Fancy scenery use isn't the only thing that comprises a map, man... steer away from a bland, flatly gray background, and work with the polygons' colors and texture. Even just shades of gray look nice if the texture is biased (like yours, which is defaultly tan instead of a general shade of gray), and texture-stretching gives a great 3D look. The scenery itself could use some occasional stretching, and varying levels of transparency.

Kind of an interesting layout, from what little you've shown; looks like it could be fun against zombies ;D Keep working.

Yeah, but keep in mind this is my "first" actual map. I have an updated version I'll be uploading here soon. Thanks for the comment though, I'll fix the backround soon enough. I just wanted to release a playable version here, then give it a few new versions till it's complete.

I plan sometime to do something more in depth with the uppermost room inside the pyramid so it won't be so bland (the big room with mostly empty space). I'll also work on getting some Egyptian type scenary in there at one point too =D. Pillars and something on the outside of the pyramid like a big head or somethin lol.

Yah, I like them but you need to make the polygon colors more interesting, and even just stretch them a tiny bit to make it not so repetitive. OTT I like it.

Well, now I've changed everything pretty much. The backround is obviously changed, I've fixed vertex coloring, and made everything else look more decent. Also I added a bit of waypointing here and there to make things more playable. If any decent waypointer out wants to fix some of the errors, go right ahead and feel free to PM me about it ;).
