24 Hour map

[Tamaru]

Hello! i'm planning on realesing a playable, well-made map by staying up for 24 hours and rubbing a map out of my brain. I'll be posting screenies by the hour in hopes of finishing and i'm on IRC in #tremulous if you have any questions!

This map is intended for an idea of how we can improve Tremulous scrimmages. Possibly a server for 1.2 will be coming that has pre-made maps and settings specifically for Clan Scrimmages.

This is the first of many maps that will be added to the server, if anyone wishes to make one feel free... But it must have!

a. mirrored base locations
b. ONLY 2-3 paths towards opposite base
c. a mid-base that is neutral

This is the layout that i'm planning on making:

two mirror bases with a alternate base location in mid that has pre-made buildable areas


this is the general theme i want(although less detail thanks to IoQ3)

You can have that kind of detail with ioq3 minus per-pixel lighting with appropriate textures and a high enough level of brush/patch mastery. Give the 'Screenshots' thread a look on quake3world.com for proof of this. There are some shots of various games in there, but most are rendered in the q3 engine.

im talking more about the bump maps, normal maps and specular lighting, but thats just smoke and mirrors.. you're right

Hence why I said 'minus per-pixel lighting'.

i'll be start the 24 hours soon, i forgot to pay the cable

You need a live stream imo.

[Tamaru]

i'm gonna start attempting to get it livestreamed in a few hours or so



Hour 1 starts now!

11:30->12:22 UPDATE






can i get some suggested texture sets?

Nice idea for a project. What you did yet looks quite good. Judging form size and shape of the map, I think some cover in the central room could be necessary for aliens, since humans would have a nice, open 'shooting range' otherwise.

Anyway as for the textures, looking at the theme of the screenshot I think those textures could do a nice job (found them by looking at the usefull mapping links-sticky): http://www.evillair.net/v2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=43. The e6 look promising for example. (some of them are also included in the default trem maps i think)

EDIT: Also take a look at e8, it got some nice floor and wall textures

[Plague Bringer]

I hope there will be a lot of variable height within the map (put humans going uphill) as currently the path from H to A is about the distance between the front rooms of either base on ATCS.

[Tamaru]

the doors that open the middle area are set to open up at 35 minutes, which is when SD begins on the server. So it's more something to speed up Sudden death.

the two main paths are the ones on the left and right

[Tamaru]

one side done




i still need a texture set, i'm taking any suggestions at this point!

[CATAHA]

evillair 8 as noticed above. good and rich set.

[Knowitall66]

Andromeda texture set, because it's win.

[OhaiReapd]

Standard ATCS textures. I don't want to lag.

[Tamaru]

Andromeda texture set, because it's win.

[Tamaru]

Just a little update on my progress: most of the sculpting is done, i just need the green room on the right and i'm off to texturing.


i looked at the sets and i think i'm going for "E8" by evil lair








Taking a 20 minute break for food, be back later!

[Aelita]

[Tamaru]

took a break and did a sketch

[Firstinaction]

WOW your an incredible drawer. Dang I shouldve posted some of my sketches I do.

[Plague Bringer]

Spacing of holes on the rightmost room is weird. 3 from the top, 2 from the bottom.

[Tamaru]

Thanks First

PS: i'm almost done with texturing, detailing here i come!
