DOD Map WIP: Force 10

[tim8604]

Hey guys. I've never actually made a dod map, just hl maps so I figured i'd post a work log here so anyone who wants to get into DOD mapping will be able to see the problems I learn from and overcome. So far I have the map idea all sketched out. I haven't seen a map similiar to this in DOD yet, so if I can pull it off it should be cool. I'm worried that it might end up being too big for the engine though.

Anyone have any suggestions on things they would like to see in the map, and any tips on making huge maps?

well, the obvious problem is what happens over in the bottom right corner at the allied spawn. You have to border the map somehow, will it just drop off into nothing? As for the layout, it's pretty straight forward and shouldn't be too hard to make, it's very wide open though, might become a sniperfest or a lagfest.

Help & Ideas

Your map looks realy cool. Good Idea. I also have, what I think is a good map layout for dod. The bad thing is that I dont know squat about making maps period. Could you please give some direction. Also, how can I make an overview map like you did of force10?

Thanks

He basically used a program such as Photoshop/Gimp to make that overview.

Plus we haven't heard from him in months. ;(
