.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Hi i am about to start a map which is going to be called SNIPER TOWN most likeley. It will have lots of nice places for sniping from but also this map i will try to make good for other weaqpons aswell altouhgh the mian weapon thing that will be conecentrated on is sniper spots. The map will probably somthing along the lines of a destroyed viallage map but with lots more nsiper spots and high places. When i have got screenshots i will post them here

One More thing cna you please post things that you owuld like to see in the map such as different ideas for a sniper spot e.g what a room would be like and the sort of places that you think are good for sniping so i can try and include them in my map.

Oh well,
*A church must be in it, destroyed , with only the tower somewhat in 'good' condition,
*some trenches might come handy,
*houses with only parts of a floor, not to much doors
*high buildings
.............

i will try some of these things it is definately having a church with a tower though and i have teh church all planed out just need to build it ill give you a screenie when its built

sad to say it but the church tower has been done to death.

how about a water tower, a radar antena(sp) made of metal, like the catwalks in V2.

a couple of barrels that explode would be nice.

how about a couple of trucks that drive from one side of the map to the other when triggered like setting a bomb? then could be used as walking cover.

those are just a fwe things from off the top of my head.

dirtbob do you know how to script triggered vehichles to drive across a map??? im stupid and i couldnt get any help on the thread about the drivable jeep tut which is for sp only though but.. i never have tried it for mp.. but i dont want a 30cal i just want an opel truck that drives around so you can get places alot faster cuz im making a map that has a looooonnggggggg road that takes like 3 mins to run the full distance just so you have to take the trucks...

i dont have a clue man, but i could read up and give it a try. im soemone out there would be able to help out.

i just always liked the thought of a something "running" around the map on its own.
thanks

Id like to c a tree that is posible to snipe from and thus climable via a ladder or nearby building etc..if it is posible

thnx for the ideas my map has now got a church with a tower but am going to add some things such as a water tower (Good Idea) and also mayb a tree tht is possible to get up to

I will post screenshots of the hcurch soon

Plese dont make things extremely complicated as this is my first map but i am paying alot of attention ot detail. and i also want a good sniper map

ive made lots of climable trees in one of my sp maps... but i never release my maps because i always find a stupid reason not to

Here is the first screenshot from my map, this one is of a hole in the roof i have just quickly made can you please tell me what you think of it (it has not been textured yet) and also uf anythign what shall i do to improve it cause personally i think this looks quits rubish as all i did was cutt parts out of it using cgs substaract and use the v key to reshape brushes on the bits i made to cut it out so i had different angles.

to tell the truth im not even sure what im looking at there because there is ntohing in the shot to give it scale.

but heck i havent made any maps yet, whell any i feel worthy of release anyway. but if you need help let me know.
thanks

From your pic I guess you are looking through a wall, from what I have learned, never ever use csg subtract, try using the clipper tool, when you have a brush selected hit X on your keyboard, try clicking around in your 2D view and see what happens, you will get the hang of it and it works out much better for you.

ugh... that picture is all pixelated.. i dont know how you can map like that if you have a little higher end computer that can support this go to... View> render quality> Trilinear.. it makes everything clear and not so pixelated but try bilinear if its really slow and jerky

I assumed the shot was from Radiant ?

going back 2 the driving trucks... do u even know how 2 open scripts up?

if so i'll go through a tutorial 4 ya
