As the thread title suggests, this is my first mapping attampt.

This is going to be a SP/Coop map custom tailored to BW2.0.

I'm designing it with Serious Sam, Unreal, and probably several other classic FPS's in mind. 8)

So, whatcha'll thunk it?

Oh yeah, and SB, do you mind if I use that Bunker Static Mesh of your guys' in this? If not I'll just make my own, no problem there, but yours is already made. ;)

Oh yeah, clicking here will either throw you into the deep, dark pits of the abyss or bring you to another thread where you might find different info on this map, can't really remember...

It looks pretty good but is there any terrain done on it?

Not yet, I'm still trying to figure out how to create terrain...

Looks cool for first map :D
I've got some nice ideas for it... The ground texture is rocky, so it doesn't really look desert like.
Look into the package: 'Barrenterrain', there's lots of sand and stuff there.

Maybe adding some palm trees looks cool too :D
Further it looks nice :D Good design for gameplay.

It looks very nice for a first mapping attempt. :)

I think you should stay with the rock n' stone-theme instead of sand, it looks cooler in my opinion. And it'll look much better as a terrain too. 8)

Thanks! I'm thinking of just sticking with a rocky theme as Bjossi suggested. Its already looking pretty damn cool, and then I'm going to maybe go into a cave system later if I can figure out monster spawning.

Also, if anyone out there knows terrain, please help. I looked at UnrealWiki and had no luck, I am currently looking elsewhere.

I like the look.

Okay, very nice for a first map attempt. You already know the terrain now since you mailed me about it. I like this so far, very nice for something lke BMR. Very large looking, but a little tall for my tastes, but I like those outdoors maps! A download would be pretty nice. I'd like to see the level myself in the editor. Oh, and if you need a sunlight actor, tell me and I'll help. It's pretty hard at first.

I'm now helping Xavious out with the map (or royally screwing it up) by adding in pathnodes, playerstarts, sunlight actors instead of skybox lighting (itself). So far, it looks okay with the lighting, but I'm playing around with the brightness and letting X know about the map, and doing trnasfers to show the changes. Hehe...[br][img width=800 height=600]../../files/public/1170712736_246_FT27072_shot00208.jpg[/img]

Me and X agree that we'd love a map with very dim sky, basicly like an early sunrise. So the map will be mostly night time looking with a few light poles around the terrain that light up a few spots decently.

Of course it's his choice, but I like that theme the best based on how his map would look with it. 8)

That looks a lot brighter than I intended, but I can work with it.

Hmm... I think I really need to get those ladders installed sometime...

I'm dimming the sun a bit right now and redoing my own pathing on it. The zombies work pretty fine, but the idea of the 10 second instantly entering the level makes it hard to get to the base in time and stock up. Oh well, works better than having 5 seconds like in BMR...

Wouldn't MSN be a better working environment for 2 mappers?

Actually, AIMs best for me, since MSN crashes on my compy everytime and can't even connect to the servers and stuff. And dang that stupid censor on saying zom.bies!

Alright, I've made some major improvements to my skybox, so it looks pretty cool now. I don't want to post any more screenshots until I get the terrain working though. Still having trouble getting the terrain created...

*UPDATE!*

I figured out the monster spawning!!! !amazed

Now I can get in some good, downloadable, playable mapping. 8)
*Coming Soon*

Woo hoo! I finally got around to getting the ladders installed! The one that leads up to the base needs a bit of work yet, though it is functional.

And now, a couple monsters custom tailored to Bjossi's specifications:

And a bit of a size comparison (The Brute on the left is normal sized, the Elite Brute is the biggun'):

If you want something for monsters and stuff, look up to the OSM gametype. The maker of that gametype made many new navigationpoints and monsters.
Author:  Captain Xavious [ Wed Feb 07, 2007 8:13 am ]
Post subject:  [MAP] OSM-X-Outpost 467 (Name is still being worked on) [WIP]
Yep, already got it implemented. :)

But is there a new gametype added with OSMT?

nice map for a first map ( way better than my attempts).
Like the way u used those bunkers as an entrance defence point

Thanks. :)
Upon thinking this out more, canyon walls on three sides doesn't really make much sense to me, I think I might change that when I get home...

I am currently getting some help from several people (lloks like I'm gonna have a long Special thanks list in my readme :D ) so hopefully I can get some terrain layed out soon and therefore making it look 10 times better. :)

Heh, it should look good now that you know how to make terrain properly that works. If anyone needs to have a mini-tutorial on Terrain, PM me and I'll give you my TerrainTutorial.txt file.

Yes. OSMT is the toolset, OSM is the gametype that was specifically designed for OSMT. If you need more information, you should go here.

Additionally you may also contact the author of OSMT, SuperApe regarding any additional questions about OSMT or OSM that you may have.

Thanks! :)

I guess I should've looked a bit more around for the OSMT before I jumped in :P

I'll need to get proper permission and stuff from everyone soon, in order for me to release a test run...

Oh yeah, welcome to the forums! I feel kind of honored this was the first post you made. :)

SuperApe is a nice guy, I'm sure he will give you permission.

I've been reading threads in the forum for a little while now, just this was my first time I felt I could really help someone. :p
