sillyslide map in the making

(TIHan) #1

i am creating a map called sillyslide, its just sopossed to be a fun map that requires no battling, just get past all the slides and get to where the slides lead u… the map is looking good for right now, i am alpha testing it on a server i am hosting, u can auto download it, but its not official release so i dont want it posted on a site or on another server… so if u all want to see it, u can come to my server, its called “SILLYSLIDE”. i dont have any screenshots, sorry :frowning: , if the server is down that means i’m updating the map :cool:

Details over Sillyslide: the map starts out in a sorta square room with a sky, i know its a basic thing, its big, it has 2 houses, a fire, and metal stairs like wut u see in sillyctf, i got most of the stuff from sillyctf caseu its takes a lot to make something like wut sillyctf, i got some of the stuff from goldrush like the carage… 1 house u can go prone under it like if it was a basement, but i’m still in the making of that, thinking about turning it into a maze hehe :moo: and it has a slide, u go up a ladder when u walk through the metal steps and walk way, when u get to the top, it shows ice, and its slippery…jim…lol… the icy slide is in the air, when u follow it, some places may be rough that makes u slow down or stop and i dont know why but i like to call it ‘speed bumbs’… when u get to a point it opens up into a MASSIVE room with slides, to me it dones’t seem like a lot, it goes around in like a circle and goes down a little and comes with spinning discs and a floating box, 1 big glass is in there… there are tilted slides and rotating slides, the end of it is where u go through a window and end up in a house like the ones u see from sillyctf, and its called “The House of Hereo’s Slide” and thats all… i know it seems like its not well made, but i’m just testing and defining wut u can really do in et…

Help Needed: i would like to have some help on my map, new good ideas, modelers, and i really need some effiecient scripters for it to… becaseu i need scripters is that i’m not good with scripting, i know how to do it a little bit, but i alway seem to mess up and forget what to do… any tips or help would be nice

:smiley: thanks in return though

ps: can i use the sillyctf textures?

you might want to put up ur server capacity, i tried to connect several times but the server is always full :frowning:

well i’m sorry :frowning: if i make any higher than 6 it will lag, is there any way u can make private clients? that wont have to deal with the maximum number of clients?

anyway i got scripts to work :smiley: but i still need help :moo:

Sure go ahead, it’s just modified ET textures anyway. Even if I don’t mind, you should build your own geometry yourself instead of ripping it from maps. You learn more from building it yourself. This is also one of the main reasons that so few mappers release there map files, because people will “steal” there geometry, use their maps as a base for there own work etc.

yer its allways good to start out and build things urself… here’s what i started doing after i got fed up trying 2 do terrain (my textures wouldnt show)

So i figured id go about making some template buildings atm that i plan on using for my map. This is a factory building am working on atm… havent got any of the fine details in it yet (like toilets in my toilets) or any textures as i read its better to build with no clip then texture the showing parts. Just trying 2 build that has learnt me alot and am getting used to doing things in radent now :D. Hopefully i dont get stuck on shaders.
p.s. im new @ radent… so dose this look any good?

well thanks for all :smiley: i know i’m lazy when i dont build things myself, but i dont have an idea coming to me, u all had such expierence with mapping, i only started feburary 2003… i think i’m just rushing… and another thing I really need help on scripting… :eek2:

optimation is the same as optimization ! :bump:

Brookie, stop to hassle other people or i have to throw some bananas at you. :banana: :banana: :wink:

I also see a lot optimization for the tracks of your bridge, too. hrhr
If your next map will have bad fps you will get a new forum-rank down at level-designer.de. what about “r_speed Slut”? ;-p
