Help with map please
« on: October 13, 2006, 06:36:16 am »
Here is map I've made, it's my first one so don't be expecting any miracles.
Can I please have some improvement ideas and constructive critisisim.
This is a infiltration map, it can also be used for trenchwar. It is based on the D-Day beach invasion in 1944.
Thanks

Heres a screenshot


Also, how do i delete spawn point and colliders ect?
This map is closed, you just can't see it in the screenshot!

Update:
Well, here's another one, this one is based on the intro movie in Dawn of War. Same deal, constructive critisism please.

What map editor are you using? If you're using MM or MM+, there should be a Delete button in the spawn points' and the colliders' list (click it, then click on a spawn point or collider to delete). In PolyWorks, just highlight the object and hit Delete on your keyboard.

Improvement ideas... brown usually doesn't fare too well for a background color. Try something more like Arena. The second map's polygons could use some texture stretching and different colors than flat brown all the way through, and the clouds above are really too bright; they don't match the rest of the map.

Not bad for your first few maps. On the second one, darken the two bunkers; they don't match at all and are also too bright.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm using Polyworks by the way.
Hmmm, problems. The colour tool won't work, I've selected my verticies and the colour object, but I click on my poly and it doesn't colour. Also I can't select object like spawn point and colliders with the select object button, I click on them by they don't get selected.
Help!

Select Vertex Tool is what is used to select an object. As for the color tool, in Pallete set Radius to something like 16 or 32, and use the Normal bullet; otherwise I don't know.
