Ok, so I enjoy playing tremulous, do it whenever I can. Well I just recently got around to the idea of making a map of my own. Since I didn't have time to do it at home, and could not install GTKRadiant anywhere else, I soon gave up. But I do get to use Google SketchUp often. So as of now I have (what i think to be) a really good map design made in SketchUp, and would really like to see it made for tremulous, even if only for me. So I am asking anyone in the Tremulous community if they are interested in taking my design from SketchUp and creating a true tremulous map from it! That would make my day for sure! The only thing I ask is that the person who accepts this, if anyone does, gives me credit for the design idea. Thats it. And they can modify it a little bit in some places, or as needed for it to work in Tremulous. I just really want to see this become a map for Tremulous.
So if anyone is interested, give me a yell and I will either send you a picture or the SketchUp file on request!
P.S.~I was hoping someone with a good knowing of map making to try this one, as there are some things i would think could be challenging. IE Elevators, ladders, and or lifts.
Thank you so much in advance if anyone does this! ;D

Sorry I took the pictures in a hurry but there you go. Basically it is three floors, basement has default base, 1st floor has the 5 rooms and big open areas, and big areas lead to above, the arena room (i call it, lol)
I'm not sure if this is even really a good level idea, but I liked it.
All positive and constructive criticism welcome and wanted!
If you want the files, just leave a message with your email address and what files you want, and ill email them to you.
-
Post a screenshot up here perhaps?
-
Yes I am sorry, haha. I cant have the picture till tomorrow at earliest. Forgot it.. go figure. Check back tomorrow and i should have it posted!
-
Np, the thing mappers usually lack isnt ideas but time. By posting up here if its exceptional you may get someones time for free :)
-
also if you can post the sketchup file =D
-
So the pictures and the file link are up (wishing on the link..) The pictures are rushed, so everything is hidden, you get an idea though. This is downright simplified, no textures, no eyecandy, just the skeleton. Open to Ideas
Thanks everyone for replying so quick!
-
It looks like a good concept, I wonder who will take the map though?
-
maybe all use it when the mapping contest begins.
-
Its still not totally done, like today i extended the bottom level rooms, and added the wall in front of where the middle level goes to the bottom level. I also have started making actual game pieces, IE turrets, acids, reactor, and (heaven help me) Overmind. I think i will just leave a placeholder for the om. thats all the things im adding are, proposed places for default game.
Also, If anyone is interested in getting a better look at the map, just email me at byrinboy16@gmail.com and i will reply with attached up to date map. The link will be too hard to keep updated.
And cactusfrog, if you want to, i don't mind anyone using it for a contest, just a mention on my name for concept would be lovely haha. I would love it to be entered into a contest! that was actually my original idea.
-
Any map with only one way to get anywhere is not worth playing.
-
Well its a good thing this map has two current ways to get to other side (and three if you include both sides of the upper level :P) And i had been thinking on another..(tunnels/crawlspace)
Also, just changed middle photo to the turrets i made, haha got bored.
-
After the Amutrem Contest i would be Happy To Help you make this map as a group effort. it seems like an interesting layout, that would probably kick ATCS's ass
-
Awesome! That would be great! When is that can I ask? Im not sure when that is. jw. Anyway thanks for showing intrest!
Just in case you were wondering, I kinda got parts of idea from ATCS, since thats where im usually playing, but i wanted to try something new. Haha.
-
There is still only 1 true way, just because there are little walls in the way doesn't change that. It's an interesting idea, and I encourage you to continue work on it, but trust me, camping will ensue, and games will get nowhere with the current layout you have.
-
I still don't see exactly what you mean. And camping will happen in every game, minus one where it is just open space. Now on the top story there is the big open area with the walls in middle (to prevent human advantage) and then the next level down has the hallways. I was also planning on having crawlspaces in the bottom-most level, and in other places.
But if you could better try to tell me what it is that should be fixed, and I can try to fix it. I would reccomend viewing the SketchUp file first though, if you havent, cause they aren't very good pictures.
Thanks!
-
Next Friday Brinkman, but in-fact guess what! i am almost done with it earlier so we might start this map earlier then we think
-ƒlesh :marauder:
-
(sorry for double post) i finished what i need for my amutrem ap for now, so im gonna start building the basics of this Map without textures
-
Awesome! Im looking forward to it!! Honestly I dont care if its even a good map, even though i think it is, i just want to see my idea on my screen haha. I play lan games with friends sometimes so ill use it then. Btw, feel free to do whatever textures you want, and if you tell me your email ill send my latest sketch file.
Thanks again!
-
This reminds me my map Boxfield, especially that middle part :)
-
Haha coolio! And to fleash eater, I saw your other map you made, or at least the previews, and they look great so im sure my ideas are in good hands, thanks!

Sorry, that hosting website is retarded. If you want the files, post an email address to send them to and i will.
Sorry for the trouble
-
Send it to me? I will PM you my email.
-
i've started mapping agian, your map will be done within a couple weeks (1-3)
i took a break from it all for a while
-
Awesome! Thats great news to me! I hope you enjoy making it, haha.
thanks again
and attack1, ive sent the files, let me know if there is a problem.
-

Reminds me a bit of a Combine base not at the Citadel (like in the Hospital.)
-
Dude thats looking great! How long you been making maps? Its looking better than I was expecting!
-
about 6 months now, this will be my 7th map but i might make it my first publicly released map because im digging this one, if thats cool with you
-
Hey, if you want to post this somewhere, or enter it into a contest even, that would make me proud to see one of my ideas coming to life, and being good. You go for it, you made it! The only thing i ask is that you somewhere mention my name for the layout idea, the inspiration, I dont care, something of the sort. You dont even have to. I would just appreciate it, lol. Thanks again, and good luck on the rest of it!
-
yea dont worry you'll be in the readme and so will a link to this post.
also i am making one large room for aliens and those two other rooms for humans, give it a little more uneven and also because aliens could build in both rooms and then no human could walk by the rooms
-
Ok thats cool, thanks! And I ddnt have too much thought into the balance of things. I did think about one area tho. (path leading to basement) i originally wanted an elevator, but the aliens could plant barricades there so the elevator wouldnt go down. I also wasnt sure how to do that part since the aliens only way up from basement would be to wall walk. so be creative there. (also if you want, you could add teleports or such, that be cool)
-
so far the hallway at the bottom seems like the popular zone to fight i can tell even before im done with this map, also i was gonna make large stair room with dark lighting, it will add a really cool effect
-
Yeah i figured that would be the main fighting place. now one thing, i dont remember if you have the version i made with or without this, but, in the middle of the middle floor, i had placed a small wall right in the middle so humans cant long distance shoot the aliens. i figured it would be good, but i could be wrong. just curious, where are these stairs?
Oh and if you want to make my day, you could change my sketchup file to match your plans and send to me if it wouldnt take too much time for ya.
-
Can I have the link to the map file? Since he made it well, I would now just like to play it as I have been following this. Cheers.
-
well the map isnt finished and im working on a huge project, this kinda seems like i can do it better with more skill so i put it off.
-
i've started mapping agian, your map will be done within a couple weeks (1-3)
Yay!Can't wait to play!
-
Hey, take your time with the map, its no rush. Plus, the more time u take, the better it could be! haha, i cant wait!
-

cant wait for the map to be finished.
