I spent a while studying MM's polygon layout in Kampf, then proceeded to make a slightly larger and taller map of my own.

This map uses a lot of Kampf's features.... The middle hill and the polygon/scenery placement is all emulated from Kampf (although i DID NOT duplicate anything, just so we're all clear.

)

I used one custom scenery, my grass7.bmp, which fits so well in rocky maps like this.

The waypoints are okay, i guess. The bots are competent enough, although blue team is extremely stupid and for some reason they like to jump around and miss waypoints... :S

Enjoy, and please leave feedback.

Get it. EDIT: New version with added waypoints: Here.

Look at it.

EDIT: The name is some weird norwegian word (i think). I'm sure it means "blood" or something along those lines.

doesnt really resemble kamph in my opinion.
I like the shading, poly layout, scenery etc..

The stylings are like those of kampf. And the layout doesn't really reflect it, but it was inspired largely by kampf.

Awesomeness. Makes me wanna go play it right now, 'cept I'd like to see it on a server with about 10-12 other people as well.

I can definately see the Kamph-ness to it as well. A job well done man.

Great hearing it from one of the most highly regarded mappers here.

Yeah i should have mentioned that it's better when played with about 10 peeps, as it is a tad large.

lol, nice putting the link before the screenie in your post

I definitely still don't regret downloading it after viewing the overview alone, tho'.

Dang, I forgot you can waypoint...

Absolutely fantastic! I can definitely see the Kampf resemblence. Sheer sexyness.

I shall fix teh waypoints for you.

Mistercharles · « **Reply #7 on:** August 03, 2006, 10:09:24 pm »

I can't think of anything to say besides :D:D:D, so I'll just stick with the following:

Send MM bonbons and a request to put this in the default maplist.

I'm not the sort of person who asks that kind of schtuff.

I suppose if the public supports it enough it'll get mentioned to MM or something.

And i'm glad someone is looking the waypoints over. Waypoints in general give me headaches.

average map.
Shading and scenery usage are poor imho

Argh... guess I didn't read the topic clearly. Blast you, Eagles_Arrows.

Rambo_6 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 04, 2006, 04:42:00 pm »

SoNNy, how could i make the shading any better? It's all shaded properly.

The scenery usage is basically the same as kampf's. Are you saying you dislike kampf's shading and scenery too?

What are you talking about? This is by far the best map I've seen in at least a month.

Rambo, I reccomend adding a little bit of random texture stretching here and there, like MM does it.

The looks aren't that special, kampf itself is pretty ugly and maps nowadays look better. But it looks mighty fun, and that's what counts. The upper route looks like it wouldn't be used much, though, i'd have put a little lower.

Rambo_6 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 05, 2006, 08:20:34 am »

Although the top route is more isolated, it gives you a good advantage when jumping down to the enemy flag.

Sliker_Hawk · « **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2006, 08:30:22 am »

Me lahhk it.

Nice shading, not much scenery, but all the same, nice scenery placement and I see nicely planned vantage points. Gooood.

If by 'better scenery usage' you mean slapping a bunch of those alpha lights and clouds into a map, then it ain't going to happen.

The map does have crates scattered everywhere, and it does have a lot of grass. I'm not going to go overkill and double the amount of crates or add a bunch of bushes. The map is fine as is.

Sliker_Hawk · « **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2006, 08:48:02 am »

He said the same about my map, and it's got wayyy more scenery than this.
Don't mean to be a hipocrite, but make sure what you're posting is useful before posting it, sonny. 'Average map' and 'bad scenery' doesn't help.
