HTF_Mountain

This is my first complete map. Im still learning the basics of polyworks.

I dont know how to place powerups, so could someone tell me/show me?

Please give tips and comments on what I could do to make it better.

[~Niko~]

To add spawns:
Go to Tools window in polyworks and go to the player start icon:

(P) Then press right button of the mouse and select what spawn do you want (Bow, flag, player spawn...)

How to improve it:

Add a good structure to the map, don't overlap polygons, color them when you finish all polygons and then add sceneries.

Don't add those lights if you don't know how to use them, first do lots of maps with structures: /\/\/\, not only single polygons, one over other, practice, and then do a sketch, and do it.

Thank you for the tips Niko. I appreciate them. : D

They aren't still enough, you must practice a lot and pay attention to other maps, it helps you with suggestions and polygons structures, also you can try to do a small map (like testing) adding colors in.

Don't use the lights, they don't give to the map a very good looking, only hardly ever you will use them. Better color by yourself the polygons.

This is your first map... if i would show here my first map everybody would laugh

Do another but now with colors.

I had problems coloring the textures, could you please tell me how?

[~Niko~]

Use the pen tool. Use the colour picker to select the color and then use that tool to apply color at vertices.
See the program guide for more information, i haven't got enough time to explain everything.

Can you upload the map to see it and tell you how improve it? Would help you a lot.

Good luck

And if it's HTF, why is there no flag spawn?

And Niko, Id love it if you could remake it, It would be awesome to see what a pro would do to spice up my map.
