Warhammer 40k Map-Makers Required!
« on: July 19, 2006, 04:55:22 pm »
Ello people!

I dont know if many of you 'map-makers' journey as far south as the 'interface and modifications section'. But i am here to request some assistance from experianced map-makers.

To those who do not understand, I, Stalky, and Anubis have spent the past 3 months creating a mod for soldat that replaces everything with a Warhammer 40k themed genre.

Everything except Maps! Thats where you people come in!
None of us are particulaly good at map-making and, afterall we deserve a break from modding!!

With our mod finaly released and avaliable, we would like to boost its potental by publishing a few good quality maps that truly reflect the grim battleground of the 40,000th millenium.

Those who do not know much about Warhammer will find this an interresting challenge. For inspiration i suggest Logging onto the GamesWorkshop, and Dawn-Of-War Websites. You will find a lot of help for getting map textures and scenery!

Currently we are looking for maps that reflect the Imperium of man! So we want maps that fit in with Imperial Guard and Space Marines!!

So why not try it!? Post in you map or your support! Help will be very warmly welcomed!!

Cheers!

We are looking for preferably a few CTF maps that could be played for RS.

As for settings, we would prefer a large-scale map comprising of a war-torn 'gothic' style background. So thats cathederal style buildings, factories and rubble everywhere!

AS for lighting, we would prefer a dark grey sky so i effect a grim looking atmosphere! Be creative!  :P

P.S Of course we would be delighted to provide a map-maker ith all the 40k themed scenery, images and stuff that he/she needs!

Hmm... I can make some maps. Do you want them to be multi-themed? For instance, you could swap one set of scenery and textures on a map for another to make it look different.

I'm a keen warhammer 40k collector of imperial guard. I might try my hand at creating a map.

It helps to have a general interest in Warhammer 40K to make the maps, but isn't required. I'll probably do some designs on paper and post them in the mapping idea's section. I don't have the time to make maps like I used to, but good luck.

And for Kinky noob, or anyone else that is going to ask the stupid question of what it is without reading properly:

For those of you that for some reason can't use the google search bar, that means either http://www.games-workshop.com/ and http://www.dawnofwargame.com/. You might also want to check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000 if you are still unsure of exactly what Warhammer 40K is.

Ok people!

Flying dutchman has agreed to help produce a map. Any other people interested should benefit from this little scenery pack i have created using MS paint.

Itt features a rather good Imperial Guard Drop ship, perfect for a span point as well as a few gothic windows and ruined factories. lots of pipes and rubble!
