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.

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

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.

I decided to use tau theme for my map - here is new screenshot (alpha base)

that looks insanely awesome. The only thing i dont like is the texture... it just doesn't seem to fit.

The blue lights are especailly good in the dark light.

You mentioned a while ago that you were thinking of making a necron tomb. If you do, try using that lighting style with classic necron green! lol Good luck!

hmm... What part of the texture doesn't fit? And to what object it doesn't fit?

Hmmm... I dunno it just doesn't look right to me. Whatever I don't care as long as gameplay is good

So this is progress so far:

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:

create flag places (they are empty now, just can't contrive any proper disign...)
create trenches, maybe a little tonnel or some smal cover with the roof somewhere...
finish waypoints (currently there is simple waypoints for both tems for testing perposes)
create custom sceneries...

Any suggestions?

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.

wow really nice map, but for me needs at the middle or in that 'valley' some scenery

Laser Guy · « **Reply #36 on:** April 27, 2007, 11:03:11 am »

the map is awsome and scenery is a-ok!!!

zaraza · « **Reply #37 on:** April 27, 2007, 12:11:54 pm »

It's awesome though i think that the ground is lit too much. It's night afterall..

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

-Skykanden- · « **Reply #38 on:** April 27, 2007, 12:25:34 pm »

uhmm tau vehicles? they have robots:
XV15
XV8 'Crisis
Bodyguard
Pathfinder Shas'ui
Hammerhead
Shaper

Laser Guy · « **Reply #39 on:** April 27, 2007, 12:32:12 pm »
