Is this a good start?

Mia Max · 02-10-2007, 11:02 PM

Hallo people!

I am planing to build a new map. So I want to ask if you like the design?
I have made only one room yet:

oak man · 02-10-2007, 11:25 PM

WAY too much of the same texture

Jiminator · 02-11-2007, 12:17 AM

yeah, a little bit goes a long way....

Ding Bat · 02-11-2007, 01:02 AM

It's possible to use the same for the floor, cieking and walls, but the choice of textures has to be right. Those are not.

Thedutchjelle · 02-11-2007, 05:16 AM

Try to change the floor texture.. the ceiling texture looks right to me.

Mia Max · 02-11-2007, 06:29 AM

Okey thanks for your tips! But I really like the texture

I can change the floor but doesn't match it to the wall?

Mikko Sandt · 02-11-2007, 07:28 AM

Needs better texturing, more trimwork and more lighting.

Mia Max · 02-11-2007, 09:08 AM

Better?

Thedutchjelle · 02-11-2007, 09:09 AM

MUCH better ^_^

Sang · 02-11-2007, 03:30 PM

Yes, now just darken the floor and the ceiling and it'll look quite good.

Mikko Sandt · 02-11-2007, 03:38 PM

Now the floor is too bright but yes - you're heading the right way. I'd add something there - it looks like a basement or something so just be cheap and add some boxes that cast shadows - I think it'd look very good.

Mia Max · 02-11-2007, 04:29 PM

Okey, I darkened the floor and ceiling and got some boxes.
Here are some views round the map/room.

Thedutchjelle · 02-12-2007, 09:41 AM

It looks very good imo, but somehow i feel that that 'armory' sign just doesnt fit in with the rest.

Sang · 02-12-2007, 12:00 PM

Looks a bit nooby, unlike your XBOX map, but whatever - That floor still isn't dark enough in comparance to your wall textures. I'm not talking about actual shading values here, just the way it looks.

Ding Bat · 02-12-2007, 06:52 PM

Looking alot better. Your ramp, the texture for the floor is ok, but the hand rails should not be the same texure.

Yes, but my xbox map was a true 9 month baby

I started building on this map just a few days ago and it's only the basic design.
On my xbox map, I wasted a long time!

Mia Max · 02-14-2007, 03:16 AM

I have made a new video of my map. It is a small one yet and there are many things to do.

Thedutchjelle · 02-14-2007, 11:38 AM

Lol, nice way to advertise your map

I like the map though. It's cool.

Mia Max · 02-15-2007, 03:09 PM

Hallo! I got a problem. On the screenshots below you can see that the turret disapears when the ceiling falls. It is not the case when I use mapster (I only floor-aligned the turret to show you my problem), but in game the turret disapears (even it is aligned to the ceiling). I use SE 32, ceiling fall.
The second screenshot shows how it should be. On the next screenshot you can see the failure.
Please help me!

Mia Max · 02-16-2007, 04:58 AM

Finally I fixed it!
The way to solve that problem was to use a ST 18, elevator down (first and second screenshot).
Nobody can see the flour sinking, because it effects when you are coming into the room (last screenshot).

Thedutchjelle · 02-17-2007, 04:10 AM

Those turrets look so c00l in HRP

Don't you have HRP?

Mia Max · 02-23-2007, 11:38 AM

Hallo!

I want to upload my map, but there is one problem. It includes a custom texture, which is used very often.
So how do I upload my map?

C. M. Dratz · 02-23-2007, 12:19 PM

Make an archive (e.g., MiaMax.rar at maximum compression)?

Sang · 02-23-2007, 12:51 PM

^What he said. Put your map, the ART file, and in case you're using a high res texuture, the def(s) and the folder where your texture is (if it's in a folder) in a RAR or ZIP archive.

Mia Max · 02-23-2007, 12:56 PM

So, what would I have to put into the archiv?

Can i make a file, that automally starts my map and loads my custom texture?
So that any user can play my map without installing anything.

Otherwise every user would have to include my custom texture in the hrp file and the art file into duke.grp.

Arrr, it's very difficult to explain my requests in english!

EDIT: Damn!, I am too slowly!
@Sang: Thanks, I'll try it!

Mia Max · 02-23-2007, 01:20 PM

Can someone test my archiv, please?
If it works, how do you like my map?
It is not finished yet, there is also no ending.

Sang · 02-23-2007, 01:59 PM

You don't have to include your custom textures in the entire HRP pack or the GRP file if it's an ART file. By that I mean, if you have a custom Tiles014.art in your dir, it will override the Tiles014.art from the GRP and the program will use that instead.

Well understood! Thanks a lot!

BTW, did you test my map?
The map currently ends in a blue tall corridor. There the map will be continued.

Sang · 02-23-2007, 04:37 PM

No - I might give it a try tomorrow but knowing me that probably won't happen

Mia Max · 02-24-2007, 05:32 PM

Hallo!

Some new screenshots!
What do you think?

Sang · 02-24-2007, 05:38 PM

3rdh and 4th shot look really good, 1st and 2nd could use more work (especially 1st) - I think you need to change the ceiling texture.

As for the last shot, looks a bit average, but it's nice

oak man · 02-24-2007, 05:52 PM

The 1st could use some work, but the rest are pretty damn cool

Mia Max · 02-24-2007, 06:31 PM

I really don't want to change the ceiling on the first screenshot, because I aligned the textures with the lights and that was much work

And I also think that the ceiling texture fits perfectly to the room.

But you are right, I should add some details into that room.

The last screenshot shows the current end of my map. It will be continued there, so this place will also be changed a little.

oak man · 02-25-2007, 01:50 PM

Hey "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" so if you like your work you should just leave it the way you like it, ultimately you are the boss, it is your map, good work

I can't wait to see the finished product!

Mikko Sandt · 02-25-2007, 02:19 PM

I like the second last screenshot. The combination of lighting and those somewhat rusty industrial textures is quite moody.

Thedutchjelle · 02-27-2007, 06:43 AM

I like all the screenshots, except for the first and the last.

Sang · 02-28-2007, 07:50 AM

What if it is?

I appreciate you did a lot of work on that but it just looks crappy.

Mia Max · 03-19-2007, 04:00 PM

Hallo!

Here is a new video of my new map. I think it is nearly finished. But I am still waiting for the new hrp. ( I'd like to add some more modelled women

)

DavoX · 03-19-2007, 04:55 PM

why show videos, give premature versions of the map and all that? i don't think anyone will feel any surprise when playing the final version.
