First Map! - A few screens

[MetalPiranha]

Ok here are a few screenshots of my first 'decent' map. I'm trying to get some work together to make a spooky 'zombie' style mod and this will hopefully, with some improvement be a part of it. Its a house, based on my own - which has been occupied, but zombies have attacked and now they rule the roost!

I need some help with modelling and a bit of coding though. I've got some cool ideas for this mod but i'm terrible at modelling so I can't really do much. If anyone wants to help out with this could you please give me your msn address? Cheers.

Take a look:

its dark, small, and the screenies aren't too informative. It looks alright from what I can tell, which isn't much. Keep mapping and learn the secret art of displaying those maps. :thumbs:

I think the lighting needs to be lighter in some parts. if you want the player to rely on their torch, make some areas dark but keep others dimly lit. a good technique is to use flickering lights. I suggest that you check out DOOM 3 before you map some more, it should give you some excellent ideas. I think you can get a demo of ID's website.

The garage light is a flickering light. And yeh I did have doom3 but i got bored of it and deleted it

Bear in mind, that if a primary light source is a flickering light, I will be very annoyed when I play this map.....You have been warned

from the screens i guess you're goin for a kinda DOOM 3 feel to it...Still needs a bit more light - i think the first screenshot was more what you should do.

when are you expecting this to be out?

 

[MetalPiranha]

Well this was just like a practice map and its not at all finished. I can release it as it is if you want to see it.

Do i just need to post the BSP?

 

[Smoke]

yes please!

yeah just the bsp unless u want ppl to steal the vmf and edit it themselves :|

my email is [email protected]



i can be a tester if u like.

edit: have you got around to sending it yet?

metal when do you expect this to be out?

 

[MetalPiranha]

Ah!

Sorry I forgot about this thread.

Smoke: A long time - since I'm currently working on a street map.

But here is the unfinished file! - http://www.review-planet.co.uk/hostedformates/home.zip

..........mebe............

edit: well........its nothin speacial........OMFG for such a small map its relitvly spooky, the lighting is awsome once u play the map, i know the screenies look dark,(they always do) but this map has sufficeint light to not be irritating, but just little enough not to nerf the spookiness.
that said, youve got a nice little map there and i suggest you finish it.

ps; is that the final size of the map? its not very big, mabye your home isnt a mansion like mine but i suggest you increase the size and add floors to make it more interesting.

great use of decals and ragdolls btw,i also have 2 point out that the fire goes through the wall, and next 2 where it does, theres a brush thats not lined up


thanks for posting that little tast, and good luck!

 

[MetalPiranha]

Yeh. Cheers for the comments dude. I will finish it if my zombie/mutant mod finally starts. Perhaps you could help me... What are you into? Mapping, modelling, texturing, music?

Heres what I'm working on at the moment (In eerie light):

And a classy zoom in

 

[CREMATOR666]

The light tone is too generic, IMO. And it's a little bit took dark....

 

[MetalPiranha]

For which map? The first one? I understand but it was only my very first map

 

[Smoke]

metal im best at mapping

 

[MetalPiranha]

Hey dude i've sent you a pm!

 

[POWDERKEG]

none too shabby my friend...none too shabby

i think it does look rather doom 3ish but that is just me...if anyone disagrees then i guess im a total idiot

 

[MetalPiranha]

Lol thats what everyone has said so far
