Off Limits update

[Sulkdodds]

The futuristic three-way alien-human-human two-cats-and-a-mouse mod Off Limits has just released shots of two impressive new maps: ol_downfall, a sprawling cityscape packed with ruined buildings and ol_undersiege, a barren desert wasteland scabbed with bunkers and shanties.[br]</br>On post-invasion Earth, two teams are hunting for a tiny but deadly alien. One team has the only weapon capable of killing the invader - a railgun. The other team has a scanner that shows the location of the alien. Niether team can have both the scanner and the railgun, because the latter screws up the former. Cue game![br]

Off Limits is shaping up to be a great mod. You can find out more here.

I think it looks nice.

Looking neat. Another mod I can't wait to play.

What about that time when all the great modteams finally release their mods(they're probably conspiring to all release at the exact same time)? There will be probably be some sort of gaming overload, which will blow up the universe...

I like the last one. The orange is a little too overpowering in 1 and 3 though...

 

[GonzoBabbleshit]

Looks ace

 

[Dodo]

That city looks sechs.

 

[Adabiviak]

What a fun idea.

 

[Para]

I think the mod's idea is great, I hope it will be executed properly.

 

[JNightshade]

Yeah, I love the look of the city, saturated with... orange.

 

[CookieCuttah]

I like the maps themselves, they look intriguing.

Thanks for the much appreciated comments!
The HDR skymap of downfall was made one hour before we took the shots, the lighting/HDR might still change a bit, it's also a custom skymap we bought (Purerage did, he's to kind). What the newsposter also forgot to mention is that these shots are taken from two maps still under construction. We've been working for hours and hours daily to get them ready asap. I'd expect them to be ready by the end of next month, we'll be playtesting them already within a week or two I'd imagine
Anyway, back to work!

I bought the *base* texture... it was far from the completed final texture that's in the map ;D

Nice work! the maps look really cool, I like the post-apocalyptic feel.

Terragen does some cool skys as well, you can change all the atmospheric colours to get nice sunsets etc. http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/
it's free to use, just need to do a few simple tuts.

 

[pur3r4ge]

Yeah, I've played around with terragen a bit. I was never able to get results I really liked from it. They always seemed really artificial, and tend to break up pretty badly at higher resolutions. I suppose it is worth revisiting, though.

terragen

I bought the latest version, it's come along way scince its early beta's. A few commercial games have used it, the guys at Dice used it for bf1942. With a bit of tweaking you can get some pretty cool results. The early version's wern't that great, latest is worth checking out again though.

 

[Ennui]

awwweesome

Looks awesome. But how are the scanner team supposed to win if they can't kill the alien?

 

[Sulkdodds]

They have to steal the railgun.

 

[ZoFreX]

I first heard about this mod aaages ago, totally forgot about it.. so now I'm excited all over again. It sounds really fun!

Screenies look ace, too.
