(My First DM map) Woodlands!
« on: May 29, 2007, 08:01:45 pm »
Here it is, My first DM map.
Its called!..Woodlands!!! :D
*Note* This is my first Dm map, so if it looks bad, I'll try to fix it.

Polygons: 448

Scenery: 210/500

Spawns: 8 (It might be too much, its more of a 2 vs 2; or 3 vs 3

Colliders: 82 ( I might have added too many colliders, I might fixed that if people are having trouble about it.

Waypoints: 177/500, I really took the time to waypoint the map. I tested it with a bot, and all spawn points work.I also put backup waypoints, so if the bots get off course  the backup waypoints will bring them back in the track.

Connections: 221/500

Also I have an overview, plus if you look in the blue circled area. I had no room to put normal sized. So... I made mini-version of the trees! ;D Its like a little mini area. I thought it would be a cool addition to the map. ;)
I also took VirutalTT's advice, and I uploaded my .zip pack to SML. I'm pretty much set to go.
Nonetheless! Enjoy!

i like it, but i think the top top could have just a tad more work, bottom right could use a tree

and nice work for smaller trees, does look nice

you overdid the grass a bit there... other than that I love it. Layout is OK, work on a simple yet functional layout for your next map (please make more).
Layouts (especially for DM maps) should be simple, and there should at least be a few open spaces. This is a little crowded.

Thanks guys :), Thanks wedding, I will do more opticle on the trees. And idante I'll take your advice and make my next maps, less crowded, and a little more wide opened; with open spaces so the map can flow.

Haha, when saying opticle...did you mean opacity? Optical doesn't make any sense at all...

Humm, nice map for your first. My first was a tiny map with just a big ol' hill in the center, and I named it Grungy. Seems like making forest/jungle maps is popular amongst Soldat mapmakers. Making deserts seems to be a little more in-depth. With the jungle maps, you can just cover everything up with grass and trees.

Good work so far. I also saw your TW map in the ctf sections ;). Keep workin.
