ya its very nice looking I tried making a trenches map but it was just too plain, like the trenches were just two rows connected together by more rows and a bunker on one side where the allies had to destroy the gun, I really didnt like it it seemed to plain and I had used patch meshes for terrain o that was a pain in the butt i scrapped the project and started working on something else, good thing you are going through with this ET single player was originally intended to include trench warfare, i think :clap:

looks nice!

It’s looking cool so far, I like the ammo boxes :slight_smile:

Looking through the pics (plan_tranchees_bunker.JPG) it looks like you’ve built the back hills out of patches. It’s probably best to still use terrain as patches tend to eat up polygons quite quickly.

For the outside wood texture for the trenches, it might be good to use a more weathered texture (more de-saturated) as it looks a tad too brown right now.

I bitch about this on every thread, but I recommend you go find some photo references to help you with the detail. If you have pictures to work from (i.e. how the trenches actually looked) it can greatly improve how realistic the level looks.

Coming on nicely!

you REALLY need to tone down those patches you are uzing outside for the ground
 use gensurf or easygen.

 but it is long, and i must do the other trenchees and the no mans land :wink: :moo:

Trench warfare rocks and looks like you have a good start. Heed the words of the all-knowing and all-seeing sock. He is wise young grasshopper. Keep up the good work!

sorry just wate for a map called cement island or ammodepot
it’s gonna be 10 times as hard as the old beach map

Why not make a terrain instead of playing about with brushes and patches

Its a bit tricky at first but once you know the science behind it - its very useful

C’est vraiment un bon début. Bonne utilisation des textures :slight_smile:
Je vous suggùre d’ajouter :

  • quelques arbres peu-ÃÂȘtre pour mettre un peu de vie et aussi
  • des cratÚres d’explosions, des débris de bois, de métal,
  • des carcasses fumantes de chars et de canons
  • des barbelés
  • des cadavres (des vrais pas des joueurs)

Ça donnerait une atmosphùre de combat intense propice à ce genre de maps.

Ok, I understand all :banana:

(ziege) #15

It’s a good first map, good use of textures


Ha this foreign language thing is a doddle :slight_smile: Moooo

(system) #16

Oh no!! I planed exactly the same idea for a E.T map.
Layout done, aready build some models and searched for resources (textures, ww2-pics)

Damn. :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

Maybe i will do the map anyway. :slight_smile:

I wrotte in french cause they are french :wink:

Translation :

It’s really a good start. Texes are well used.
I suggest you toi add some :

  • trees maybe to add some life to the map
  • bomb craters, wood and metal pieces
  • destoyed tansk and canons
  • barbed wires
  • soldier cadavers

It would give an intense combat atmosphere that fits well this kind of game.

Je confirme ce que tu as dit Pog’s il y aura des barbellés des arbres detruits des cratere un ou deux vehicule detruit(on ne sait pas quoi encore)et pour les cadavres sa je pe rien dire.On a meme prevu que enviropn toute les 5 minutes une alarme sonne puis quand elle s’arete on entend un avion et là il y a un bombardement sur le no man’s land.Ce bombardement est neutre il n’appartient a aucun des camp.C’est pour rajouter une vrai ambience de guerre
Puis on rajoutera des sons d’ambience ainsi que des voix que nous meme on créera. :wink:

PS: je parle en francais car moi langlais

Super la map risque d’ÃÂȘtre excellente.
Nous on fait une map qui s’appelle Pointe du Hoc qui ressemble un peu à celle là .

(phoenix[gnf]) #20

Pog’s vous etes une team de mappeur?ou vous jouer et mapper?
