Title: What type of maps would you like to see?
Post by: Rawr on February 07, 2007, 09:07:31 am: I personally want to see a city based map. Much like in Halo 2 with . Erm. cant remember. Oh well. So what do you want to see?

Post by: Taiyo.uk on February 07, 2007, 12:24:55 pm: Good balance, no campsites (e.g. platform in Procyon) and well detailed. Size isn't much of an issue for me as a "good sized map" largely depends on the number of players.

Post by: kozak6 on February 07, 2007, 04:30:23 pm: The story on the main page mentions heavy cargo liners being destroyed in alien attacks, so I think it might be interesting to have some maps that are blatantly and obviously spaceships.

Also, I'd like to see some maps that take place in alien locations, like perhaps mines or abandoned alien cities or something along those lines.

Seffylight's Diary of a Mercenary (http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1660) makes good inspiration for mines.

Post by: Shadowgandor on February 07, 2007, 07:09:29 pm: I was thinking about a map with a lot of doors, lifts and other stuff that needs buttons to be used. It would be a spaceshiplike setting, so the walls should look metallic like. And yes, Pulse gave me this idea, i love Pulse.
Note: i'm not a mapper (although i am willing to learn because i want to be a game dev when i grow up :P)

Added: or maybe a map with a lot of vents, a couple of big rooms but almost no halls, only vents, which don't stay at the same height, but dretches and jetpacks can move up and down at a couple of spots aswell. (i hope people can understand it :P)

Post by: Rev|shadow on February 08, 2007, 01:19:00 am: I agree with bazuka i want a map like halo2 (HUGE HALO FAN) a large out doors kinda like a island with a city on it and like huge buildings or like one center building as if like a tower and when u jump off it u land like in the center of a area that can be mainly used for a massive battle with some debris from blown apart building or cars or some thing like that. any thing like that would be cool

Then Make Maps!

This forum is for mappers, not people who want maps. We choose to discuss our works here, or get ideas for our works, and your comments are not helping.

I am currently working on a powerstation map. It will be centered around some sort of reactor core.

Post by: kozak6 on February 08, 2007, 07:45:15 pm: Ooh, a powerstation.

Something like the base of the atmosphere converter from Aliens would be cool, i.e with a sort of alien base with "secreted resin" and creep on the walls and such, placed in a human industrial setting of some sort.

Post by: techhead on February 10, 2007, 12:28:18 am: As supposed to the current map themes we have in Tremulous, like "industrial pipes and catwalks" and "cargo room full of boxes"
Seriously, maps like Thermal and Ancient Remains give a nice change of pace.

Post by: temple on February 10, 2007, 07:00:00 pm: I want a map with a lot of halls and doors but not wide and big. More compressed like the Arachnid2 or Niveus: Outpost 652. Its needs to use vertical space.

I think the current crop of maps are way to big and wide for beginners to learn and to be fair to humans. Its funny, people find a way. But the original maps I feel had better useage of space.

I also want maps that have long approach routes but faster escape path. A perfect example is Transits big hole and stairs to the left of the default human base. If transit had a human only elevator, it would be perfect I think.

Post by: Rekov on February 10, 2007, 11:30:03 pm: I am looking forward to the SGC map. the halls are all round so good luck with that.

I converted my earlier map into a different scenario. It will be a human spaceship with an alien boarding craft latched onto one side.
Title: What type of maps would you like to see?
Post by: Paradox on February 10, 2007, 11:32:21 pm: Frankly, i want more "human" feeling maps. Pulse had that feeling, it felt like humans actually lived and worked there. I am sick of these maps where your way in the back of something somewhere, and its all industrial. Transit was "human". Arachnid is not.

I got an arch prefab from one of my sources so i'll just copy and paste that for an hour and a half untill i get a nice section of hall ;)

Post by: Kaleo on February 11, 2007, 05:32:24 am: A suberban map, with city streets. the humies start in a building, and the aliens start in like a boiler room somthing.
Title: What type of maps would you like to see?
Post by: genie on February 11, 2007, 07:20:44 am: rather than aliens starting in a boiler room they could start from a spaceship that crashlanded on the skyscraper in front of the human base. Or down the street

The map I am currently working on has a bunk room, a mess hall, and other human like areas so far.

Post by: TRaK on February 15, 2007, 02:48:14 am: I'm thinking I want a MYST-themed map or two. Probably that 'treehouse' level in the original. It'd be cool.

I might actually get around to it, but only once I've finished Medusa CTM. Nevermind that my mapping skills are nowhere near good enough yet.

Post by: Paradox on February 15, 2007, 03:01:24 am: Look at it this way, evil labs, space freighters, boilers, vent cores, reactors, planet bases, are all old clichés in games. Halo 2, while there are a few things in this environment, breaks the mold. It has city streets, landscapes, lakes, forests, etc.

Post by: kozak6 on February 15, 2007, 03:56:28 am: I hate maze maps.

I, as many other players do, tend to get lost, and that really sucks.

Mentioned in another thread.
There are human advantageous areas, and alien advantageous areas, and they neither line up nor connect across the map, you have to pass between "us-land" and "them-land" to travel sometimes.
