.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Got an idea, I've seen this with other web-based games, but nothing like this.

Anyone see a possible way to put the MOH Radiant grid on a website (like this one), so there's just a page with the grid where anyone can go in and add stuff to it. Multiple people could be working on a map at once, and leave it and come back whenever they wanted to. We could get a huge group project going

This is close;

Yah, I remember that thread. But most of the mappers on here map for Allied Assault, but I prefer mapping for Spearhead because most of the people I started off playing with for AA moved to SH, and I can't get myself to go back to AA now

With the idea I'm talking about, once everyone is done adding stuff to it, we could (I don't know if this is possible) download it as a .map file, and then set it up for either Allied Assault or Spearhead depending on our personal preference.

i dont understand what you mean. So like, mappers do there work and then upload it afterward for the next person, or your saying have an online version of mohrad? if its the online version of mohrad your on about then i cant see that being possable.

I was lookin at the impossible one lol, o well, that community map that went around was a cool thing tho, it stopped circulating last month according to the date on the thread..I'd only mess up all the others' hard work on that though

What you need is a common .map file. Then everyone downloads it, adds a house, bunker, or whatever on one of the markers, and uploads a prefab of what they built.

i'm out; don't think nazi germany would look to realistic with a billboard advertising the philadelphia eagles (they were the franklin yellowjackets)

why not base it on modern time?

well it's not impossible, and an easier way and more interactive would be that the server keeps the file and each client adapts a change to it and sends it to the server, therefore everybody could work in realtime and it'd be more memory efficient.

How's about a SET SIZE area, including skybox. That way it could be "meshed" together easily. Each person does a "square", and submits it to a few "overseers", who collaberate and do the final building of the map, making the nessessary changes of course.

Or, everybody interested could submit a prefab, and everybody could use the pieces to put together a map. Each map would be different of course.

If doing this, I think using stock textures should be mandatory.

The map download above would be a fps nightmare. Way too big, too open. Might have a tough time getting vis to work in it so you could get good framerates. You'd need 500 people to play it just so you could have some fun.

^^That prefab idea sounds pretty good, even if everyone's prefabs together create a random effect.

also from neillomax's idea, that would mean that the first person would create the terrain and sky box right, so we could see the limited amount of space from the beginning, which could lead to better-judgement when we try and get our ideas in (while making sure we don't make *too* much). Or we could just all come together with a good size and then go from there..

I'm currently working on some destroyed-building prefabs for another map I'm making..those should fit in somewhere among everyone elses stuff

No, ..... first person does not create terrain and skybox......... each person creates his own. Grant you, the sky would have to be one color throughout......? unless map could be seperated in a way not to view a different one........... via vis I guess.........

Since .map files are just text files, a version control system like CVS or Subversion could be used.

why not make lots of rooms and then give them out, everyone builds something inside there "room" and then submits it, then all the rooms are put together and linked.... you could have "Snake's Area" above the door. i'm up for that...
