WIP: a TTW map

[As de Espada]

A friend asked for a map for his mode, it's quite similar to TTW, but I am not a TTW player, not even TW hehe
I would like some guidance for this TTW map, what are the requirements, etc

This is what I have so far:

Looks nice, what i see alot on ttw maps is crates and such which give also a little more cover spots and look cool aswell, my 2 cents

As to the general map format, look here:

It should have waypoints and be balanced for both teams. Usually TTW maps (similar to TW) contain Trenches or holes.
It shouldn't be made too easy to defend a bunker (as you spawn in the bunker, you have an advantage to defend compared to the attacking team).
The alpha side looks fine, but if you plan to make the high rock the middle, then it would be rather hard to fight at. Either you make it a real bunker (so players spawn there), but then they are easily sprayed. If it's not a bunker, then I fear that only few conquers of that sidebunker will happen. I agree, a few more obstacles could be helpful.

You can look at these for a general idea:

NOTE: Some of these maps are still in the old format, using a text file with coordinates - your map should use the charlie spawns as in the previous link.

Thanks TheOne, that was very helpful!
I have one more question: are the bases conquerable?
Can I make the bases conquerable (vest + predator)?

I don't think you have to follow format from TheOne's link if it's not a map for TTW itself but for some other custom gamemode.
FYI though no, bases are not conquerable, and if you place two markers inside a bunker then one of them will simply get ignored (it's pretty hard to tell which one).

My vote from 0-10 is ... 2.5
Its very simplye and got no athmosfere(spirit) Also Texture is pretty ugly , also the bunkers are crap really crap they look like crap they shouldn't be even be called bunkers also main bunker is crap it should be a cool powerfull bunker not that ...

[As de Espada]

Thank you Falcon.
@Vucgy92: I saw some videos of TTW and I agree, my bunkers currently are not bunkers
about the atmosphere, I only use default scenery and texture in my maps, so the atmosphere will also be defaultlish, which may not please you.

Why?

Most TTW maps have their own sceneries for bunkers and such. Also many of them use multitexture. Those are important aspects in making the maps look good and give that special impression in game.

I'd advice you to take a close look at some of the maps in the cycle and look at the endless possibilities of both beauty and realism in custom mapmaking.

.. although I should add that I think you've made it impressively far without such an important thing as making sceneries and textures. You've made some nice maps.
