well, as the title says, this is my very first map. in fact, it's my very first try at polyworks.  so, yeah, i know the coloring may be off a little, and there is no scenery, but, hey, whatever, right?

anyway, here is a pic of it:

the top has a cut-off, and to my knoweledge, all glitches have been worked out. the lightest gray areas allow only people through. the middle gray areas allow only bullets through. darkest gray, brown and green are normal, and the little dark support things are...supports. walk and shoot right through 'em.

the name is ctf_Trench, and here is the file:

hope you like it. oh, and if anyone would mind, mabey you could put it up on a server and give me the name? because even though my game is up on a server, the ping is so bad i can't even play in it! and i would really like to play online with others on my map.

thanks all, and hope you like it.

Basing on just looking at the overview, here's my first thought. Well since you have the top cut off, people can go outside of the map on the roof. I don't know if you meant for that to happen, but that wouldn't be a great idea. You might want to either close it or put invisible polys there like on Conquest if you haven't already done that.

[Ekoz]

oh, by cut-off, i mean there is an invisible ceiling. heh. sorry for the misunderstanding.

do you like it?

Middle is to empty - perfect place for mass spray.
Plenty of camping spots around.
The top island is way to high to be of any use unless camping.
Horribly coloured background.
Map could be a touch brighter.
Shading on the outside of the map needs work.
Those tunnels don't look they'll do much use.
And no scenary?
And colliders?

Good start for a first map. With improvement, could be pretty good. Keep up the work.

Hey it's nice, work more on layout etc, shading is fine (nice colors, but maybe that's just me and my worms-2 fantasy xD)

Middle is to empty - perfect place for mass spray.
I know. i'm working on it. i really do not like that empty space.
Plenty of camping spots around.
what should i get rid of?
The top island is way to high to be of any use unless camping.
so lower it? ok.
Horribly coloured background.
it's supposed to be a sunset
Map could be a touch brighter.
thats probably just the picture
Shading on the outside of the map needs work.
ok, outside shading. got it.
Those tunnels don't look they'll do much use.
well, some people like multiple paths.
And no scenary?
definantly. working on that.
And colliders?
what are colliders?

Good start for a first map. With improvement, could be pretty good. Keep up the work.
thanks

Colliders are like 'bullet colide' polys. Usually to put over scenary like boxes/crates.
These could be used to stop camping - Wraithlikes guide can help: http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=29244.0;all

oh, i do that. thats what i use to create those bunker things, and the "supports" in the tunnels.

Please, make your topic the name of your map, then say "first map" er whatever... It's only decent to do so.

[Ekoz]

oh...sorry...should i change it? can i change it? i really didn't know...

really sorry...

[Blacksheepboy]

Pfffsh, don't be sorry. It is only my personal preference, that's all. If you really do want to edit the topic, just edit the subject in the first post... It's up to you. Just my recommendation

[Ekoz]

done. i think it'll look more proffesianal. thanks
so, wadda ya think of the map?

[chutem]

I think it looked better before you added scenery.

The layout changes are better.

And those tunnels. They would be near useless in an actual game, smooth them out so that it doesn't slow down the player so much.

[Ekoz]

new, improved tunnels.

you know what? i'll stop with the downloads untill it is perfect.

[Meecrob]

Frankly, i liked the first one better. its basic and looks good.

[Ekoz]

i guess...but that big empty space was just a MASSACRE, and even a monkey could know that. so i had to cover it up, by lowering th big island. but then THAT left a big empty space by the top...
