A map I would like to see...
« on: June 10, 2009, 07:45:58 pm »
This is a quick sketch I made a little while ago..



(I know I'm a lame mapper so don't stick 100% to this drawing)

This is a TW map Btw.

That idea is similar to Avarax's map, ctf_tw_cannibals. I don't know if it ever got past the beta stage though...

No its alot like Tw_Gloryhill but for one its bigger overall and the plateau that the city sits on it like 5 or 6 times the size of the fort in glory...

(also Gloryhill is The best Tw map of all time so this is a good layout)

(the wire things with the blue under it are Bridges likewise the white pits are trenches)

If anyone decides to make this map DON'T stick to the drawing.

To an extent you're right the main reason for the drawing it to give the general idea of what I want.

1) I can't map for my life.

2)This map is a Lot bigger then gloryhill.

3)wouldn't that be copying someone else's work?

4)the map overall has a different layout.

Make a more detailed sketch and I'll make the poly structure.... but the bunkers/scenery will have to be made by another guy.

There is no point in making maps bigger than HALF the size of gloryhill...

There is if the map goes with a WWI mod and you need a "no mans land" area for both teams and you want to use a mortar to bombard the enemy's "no mans land" but not their spawn zone...you see I have a reason for making it that big...

as the map size increases, the chance of hitting people with a law decreases amazingly... making it pointless, and boring the players to the point of leaving the server. They're playing a match, not bunnyhopping around to after 20 lame seconds of running, get into the action...

wow, cute... no lame bunkers to cover in.

I need to know what's the map's gamemode, TW, INF, or CTF, if you want it done for little jets, none or lots, and if you would like to see some buildings in the map, and I'll do the poly work tomorrow in the afternoon.

I'd reconsider the huge height difference in the right part and make it go up slower instead of having a big-ass mountain in there that might probably ruin the map.

I'll go through what I want and dont want:

1)The game mode is Tw.

2)No jets.

3)medium amount of nade and health packs.

4)No drops in the map in which you can fall to your death.

5)no huge mountains put a large plateau with a good amount of buildings on it.

Anything else that I missed?

the amount of buildings, the kind of buildings, the basic structure of these, how big are they, etc, because I'd have to leave some plain space for each, to know where will they be placed. if a team is higher than another it means that it will have an huge advantage, so the map would be or either completely mirrored or almost mirrored, with only a few changes alongside the map.

An sketch would help more than words anyways. I think you could draw it in Paint.
