DM Shafted (now with download)
« on: July 05, 2009, 03:08:08 pm »
Don't know how long it's been since I've made a map, but I figured I'd start out by getting back to basics and making a map for the first style I ever tried mapping for - DM.

I've attached two pictures.  The first is the basic layout with some random player spawns thrown in for testing.  No scenery/colliders yet, so I don't need any feedback on those at he moment.   Still screwing around with some poly placement, and deciding on a color scheme (which might totally change from the current pic).

The second picture is what I'm more concerned about, which is layout and "smoothness" of gameplay.  Since the picture is a bit busy, I'll break it down.

Red arrows are routes to prone/jet for faster access.
Blue arrows represent areas for fast rolling.
Green lines represent possible changes to layout, which in this case would be some narrow tunnels.

The platform/bridges are OPC.  Gostek included for scale.

I'll have a download available for testing shortly.  Interested in thoughts on layout, suggestions on possible routes, etc.

Edit: Map uploaded.  It's bare bones, since I'm just looking for game play feedback.

left tunnel makes the map looks more like a dm map (but I'm not a dm player).
lower tunnel seems to leave nowhere.

I'm most likely going to add the left tunnel after I play around with getting a good shape for it.

Can you elaborate on the lower tunnel?  I'm not sure I understand.  Are you referring to the one I was thinking of adding, or the lower route as is?

Ah, okay.  After playing around with the map a bit, I added the left route and have not added the lower one.  I'll probably just leave it out.
