CTF Map (need a name)
« on: June 07, 2007, 05:09:18 pm »
Well this is my first attempt at a forum worhty map. Im not done with it it needs some more scenery, I need some suggestions at what to add though (I either add to much or not enough) and maybe some tips to make a better map. Be honest I wont cry.....much.

Hmm not sure how the file attach thing works so its just a link i guess.

Well, it doesn't look so bad. Maybe make it bigger and make it a TW map? Althrought, it needs a better background, and i don't like the light-green grass thing. Overall, not so bad. Practice, and maybe we will have another good mapper on the forum :D

Btw, i like the effect of mud on the lower part of the map (Where grass combines with mud/earth/brown polys)

Ty I just realized i had background off with that. Ill make it bigger and I got the poly color thing from the shading tutorial. So make the grass darker or just get rid of it?

Hm. ctf_Bunkers? I really wouldn't know :P

Even if you're trying to create a good atmosphere with the background colors, it shouldn't be pitch-black; that's just boring right there. Give it more ambient colors, like htf_Dusk, for example. The bunkers also should have background scenery, and shouldn't be so flat in the buildings; everything is too linear and favors a blind sprayfest.

Ok thanks Ill work on that with my next map. The original background was a teal/blueish color, but i ticked off the background on the display list wich made it black. Thanks for the advice again though.

It looks like a trench war map.  My suggestion on the name of this map could be something along the lines of a fort or some kind of defensive base.  The name of your map should match the atmosphere and setting of your map.

Okay here is another map I think it is still too small though so Ill make it bigger. Just need to add some trenches/colliders and other things for the no jet.

Edit: I just noticed the lower way to get in bunker is impossible for no jet so ill get rid of that.
