Named as “1” as it hasn’t got a real name yet.

Goldrush style textures, i added a working water pump (thankyou Sock…got the pump as a prefab you made)

Oh, and a plane that went astray

I still need to work more on my lighting so forgive the darkness of the screenshots!

Now some brighter shots. I recompiled with the siwa sky

I like the plane formation in the sky - do they fire?

What are the objectives?

Mark.C · 2004-07-22 23:29:14 UTC

Objectives for the Allies so far … build the water-pump.
Objectives for the Axis so far…none.

I actually want to make the planes fly too, but i need to find out how i go about scripting them first, then they may drop bombs as an objective for the axis.

Bandwidth quota has been exceeded. The web site would work again after 12 hours. Members are given an initial bandwidth quota of 1000 MB monthly.

No screenies.

Mark.C · 2004-07-23 14:22:51 UTC

Yeah, check back in 12hours i guess. I may get a new host, so ill resubmit links when i do !

CrazedFan · 2004-07-24 03:24:12 UTC

I like the blue sky. Looks good!

yay, i can spot a trickjump right there

The_Wanderer · 2004-07-24 09:52:06 UTC

not very important but if you gonna make the map during the day you might wanna remove the window textures with light on.
Also may i suggest you use a scrolling texture for the airplanes instead of using actual models. If the sky is high enough and the texture is good the difference should be unnoticeable.
It will save you some fps plus a whole lot of scripting trouble.

Mark.C · 2004-07-24 15:29:06 UTC

@ thore, you can actually walk up quite a few of those, and walk around the building/rooftops, so all the fighting doesn’t just take place on the ground. A few routes do actually go over the rooftops, just to give the advancing team an extra route, though not nessecarilly an advantage.

Although, i think at the moment there may be some trickjumps that need to be clipped. :bump:

Mark.C · 2004-07-26 11:47:26 UTC

Pics are working now, But i dont know how long for…

The second set is how the map looks now.

fattakin · 2004-07-26 12:09:01 UTC

Objectives for the Allies so far … build the water-pump.
Objectives for the Axis so far…none.

Umm shouldnt these be in place before starting a map?

Mark.C · 2004-07-26 13:32:54 UTC

Why do you say that ?
TBH, i always make the map b4 i put any objectives in, if i come across a part i think i could add an objective to then i will. I can walk around a blank map in ET and work out where objectives can go, whether or not these are easy to get to, will it be hard for the defending team to disarm dynomite at an explodable objective if the spawn is x amount away etc…

I basically get to add my objectives to a blank canvass, and put them more or less in the correct places first time. It is just MY way of working.

fattakin · 2004-07-26 14:24:07 UTC

I believe a better map would be one that has had the objectives planned and thouhght about first, probabaly on paper, then brushwork and finally any objective tweaking necessary.
But you have already thought about the map itself, buildings etc so i can see where you are coming from!

thegnat · 2004-07-26 14:52:22 UTC

I think its the choice of the mapper how he plans/creates his map.
There are mappers that plan everything before laying a brush and there are some that map the “world” and then place objectives here and there.
Everyone has his own style.

Sorry, i don’t really do that either, i just make whatever comes into my head next.

Mark.C · 2004-07-27 11:43:44 UTC

nearly beta, doesn’t seem to be much interest though

Mark.C · 2004-08-08 02:12:44 UTC

Map is done, get it here …

You can get the map here without the Filefront hassle http://southbunker.zftp.com

Map is in rotation on my server 69.31.6.49

That’s not fair, there’s only a german plane model and I need a plane for allies.
I have a 3ds (3dsmax’s) model but it’s not textured. I have a lot of work to do now…

Edit: UVW Mapping done, but if the plane won’t look good enough I think I’ll just take the german plane and change the texture…

Sorry for the off-topic

Mark.C · 2004-08-08 10:40:52 UTC

Thanks for that J-Inaria2 I recently lost my host because i uploaded too many pics.
