Special offer: I'll make layouts for you

[legacy-<*)_><]

I can't get myself to map lately, but I do like to think about maps/gameplay/style. So here's my offer to keep myself busy.

I offer you lay-outs.
I think DM is my strongest point (small to medium size)
But CTF looks very do-able to me as well and BR/DD should be possible but might take me longer to adept.

I currently have a very well-connected layout laying around for a medium sized dm-map (4 floors, my guess is 6-12 players).
So if you are quite sure that you'll finish a map i come up with, ill be glad to provide you with a layout.

I'll link to the dm-layout, please dont use it *yet* unless i give you explicit permission
its bare, bots walk, but thats about all.
2 versions in the zip, only slightly different

lol, you pretty much described my job here. I take layouts and make them purty. :haha: :up:

EDIT: Tell you what, I gave up on BR-Jebus because I couldn't get the layout to a point where I liked it. If you can make the layout good I can finish up that map and release it as a co-op. :up:

¿It's soon to be released?

sounds like a deal to me
just pm me whatever info you have

[legacy-the G.o.a.T.]

Hey Karp,

Making lay-outs huh.
Sounds familiar to me :) :D :up:

[legacy-Doc_EDo]

Hey <*)_><, let me make you a layout and you can do all the hard work. :haha: :up:

i was afraid i was being to harsh :p


but enough on that topic, this doesnt have to be the second assault thread


layouts!

[legacy-t3h_Isotope]

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for. Do you want ideas for a map, and you make the layout, or do you want a rough layout for a map?

The bottom-line is that I'll make a layout for anybody who asks it.
It up to the other person to determine what he wants, if he just wants a lay-out, or maybe he/she already has a theme or rough idea. Give me whatever info you have, and i'll see what i can do.

[legacy-Killer 215219]

Now then <*)_><

I've just sent you a PM. Sorry about the confusion with the last PM - I sent it to the wrong person and meant to send the PM that you got to them, to ask that person to forward the original PM to you, but I sent it to you instead.

I don't think any of that makes any sense whatsoever, but anyway, have a read of the latest PM I've sent you and see what you think.

If you could let me know either way I'd be grateful, and thanks for your time.

recieved and answered




This means the lay-out ive shown as a sample is most likely taken now people :p

[Angel_Mapper]

Ok, nevermind then.

[legacy-CTFX1]

hmm, I've been looking to do a coop map with someone or get a layout from someone, I downloaded the zip I'm gonna look into it and post back in a min.


--edit--
ok, so your already taken carp? I'd really like to make a hardcore small dm map, 2-2 players or so.

I really like your layout styleing
I see many many oportunities in your two layout maps. I'd like to coop with you but if your already taken.... Angel mapper has more knowledge and more experience than I do in maping not to mention creds but I would really like to take part in this.

If this layout is already taken and your already paired with someone I'd like to request you make a small dm map with 2 player load to 4 player load so small but good flow and serious z axis action. so maybe like 2-3\4 major rooms.

if anyone in here is interested in pairing with me except for you doc-edo :haha: .angel mapper, carp any other competent mapper, post or e-mail me. ctfx1@ut2003archive.net thanks.

--edit--
btw that map is looking good angel mapper, it reminds me of one of those maps on one of the bonus packs of ut. It was gothic and it had a lake outside, I think ctf and people had to run outside run around sort of a cliff to get to the enemy's base kind of like c shaped.

ill try and make a new layout for you tomorrow :)
if you have any specific needs, make sure to either post them here or PM me

[legacy-infil]

Wow, you know this is seriously an idea i never thought of. People issuing layout ideas... this could lead to some really cool collaborative works, fom good designers and mappers. I look forward to seeing what comes out of this coz i myself have discarded so many designs coz i just don't have the time (work and other RL crap). Can't wait to see what comes out of this.

[legacy-CTFX1]

ok, so small map, 2 player load but able to acomodate 4,

mind bogleing z axis fighting is a must,

I'm thinking 1-4 major rooms that somehow interconect, think futuristic. I was thinking of doing a lava theme again but this time with snow\frostyness in the mix. I'd like a layout similar to a combination of your map dm finality and neo's map august noon. I think that would rule :cool:

looking forward to the layout you give me :) thanks you rule :up:

[legacy-GIdenJoe]

Make a contest out of it :p

He pulls out a lay-out and all mappers wanting to participate make a good looking map from it, free of choice of theme.

Best one get's the "award" :p

It's not really rewarding for a mapper to know that there are multiple maps out there with exactly the lay-out, even though you could win the priceless "award" :p
i think it wouldn't really stimulate people to map...

[legacy-Desperado#2/Rog]

yeah I am starting to find that side of mapping a lot more fun then the layout part although I still end up making layouts :D

To be honest I think this is the least time consuming way of making a map.

[legacy-Fecal Marmaset]

Not a bad idea. :up:

Hey Karp.
We need some maps for our new mod in development, and maybe you could come with some cool ones. Its a wizards/spells/magery mod, and I was thinking about a simple map over a wizards tower (imagine the tower of Saruman in the Lord of the Rings but a bit wider).
It doesn't have to be very complex.. Well, just an idea :P

Rob.

Rob.

that sounds more like a static mesh job., or even a face3 makeover.

btw concerning the contest idea, I was thinking that even if many people started out with the same layout they could still change it. I dont think all the maps would have too much (even layout wise)
I know I would change the bsp lots before I put in static mesh work. The layout you've done is like a template that could easily be changed to suit many diffrent enviroments.

[legacy-t3h_Isotope]

I got a layout idea, however its up for grabs because I dont like to make maps that much.

A medium-sized deathmatch... Pretty much a gigantic hall with two rows of huge columns. There are a couple halls branching off, and turning back into the main hall. Scaffolding could be added to statues and columns for more Z travel.

[legacy-CTFX1]

.pmub whats up :D how's my baby going?

[legacy-<*)_><]

im working on it
ill probably post something sunday...

and robals, it really sounds like you're looking for a mapper, not somebody just for a layout

[legacy-CTFX1]

how's it going?

[legacy-<*)_><]

ive had a busy 2 weeks, im ashamed to say that i havent made much progress
ill hope to deliver you something this sunday

(not having internet in your room sucks ):(

[legacy-CTFX1]

hey dont worry about it I know life happens, besides I still have my map thorshammer to work on, just wanted to make sure you didnt forget or something lol

[legacy-CTFX1]

update?

[legacy-<*)_><]

oops, i'd almost forget *snicker*

ill finish it up sunday

[legacy-CTFX1]

[legacy-CTFX1]

awesome thanks :)

[legacy-<*)_><]

Clear ye olde pm-box!

[legacy-CTFX1]

oh hey thanks man I got it, just played it looks pretty cramped but this will be soo much easier than just starting a map with absolutely nothing in the editor thanks man much apreaciated, btw I'll probably just be keeping you and neoduck up to date on this instead of releaseing all those damned beta's i did on thorshammer, and then like final beta or somethign I'll release somewhere on here, but first things first, again thanks a ton :up:

[legacy-<*)_><]

oh, and if you have any form of instant messaging, feel free to add me :)
I'd be happy if you keep me updated

[legacy-SquirrelZero]

don't know if you're looking to do layouts for mods, but FO has been searching for more layout designers. We've got great graphical talent going for our next release but really need our maps to be gameplay focused first... i'll be posting screenshots of our latest collaborative mapping work in a day or two.

do you only use aim for instant messaging? I usually use msn the times that i do instant messaging which isnt often,

[legacy-Snowcat]

So if I send a layout/map idea I've sketched out on paper or something, you can make the map layout, then if anyone wants to, they can add the txtures and all that prettying up details etxras and so forth?

I'd be in for that,

No problem, but I'll have to play frag-ops first to try it i guess. And it'll be for 1/2 maps, I'm not planning on joining any teams :)

CTFX1: I use msn a lot: de_erik[a]hotmail.com


Snowcat: I tend to do the sketch part, and the basic ued-geometry. you're asking this because you cant map yourself?

[legacy-NickR]

Hi, I'm in desperate need of a map for my QCTF mod release. The code is done but I have no map to release it with. Can you do a medium sized industrial esque 4 way ctf map layout for me? I can finish up the details myself, it's just the design/layout that illudes me.

Thanks. :)

4-way ctf sounds like a challenge. I assume you want the bases easier to defend than usual?
And medium.. that would be 12-16 players?
I find this an interesting project :)

[legacy-Snowcat]

Yeah, I couldn't actually make a map if my life depended on it. I've got plenty of ideas for em, like everyone else I guess. Not much of an artist, my sketching would only be fairly basic, but for layouts I think I could do,

well show me some sketches and maybe we can make people happy :)

[legacy-CTFX1]

whoa dude, I've been working on a map completely original lately but started work on your layout today, I was pretty suprised about how you set up the majority of it (major intersection stuff O-o) nice idea for setting up outer perimeter walls tho (and tex's too)

--edit--
nm that junk below I'm doing a concrete theme (very monochromatic) but it will contrast with good lighting and some vibrant cus meshes and nice brown trim,I'm very excited about this map. :)

junk

vvv

working on it I'm having a hard time deciding on a theme tho,
what do you think I should do? right now I'm thinking high tech,

you can go pretty much any way you want with this theme..
how about making it looks like you're almost inside a machine?
very unregular walls, lots of pillars, supports...

[legacy-CTFX1]

pillars and supports good :up: about the machine bit I'm not sure If I can do that but I can put machinery in, I cant think much besides pipes, piston system's or pumps tho : / I was thinking about making the level underwater as well,

[legacy-<*)_><]

do whatever you like, it's yours remember? ;)

would you mind me posting the lay-out here btw?
just so other people can see what kinda stuff i deliver

[legacy-CTFX1]

hmm, I'm a little scared that someone will take it and rip it : / could you take a few screenshots? I know its not the same but. meh its up to you man I'm sure my version will be drasticly diffrent from what you gave me so yeah go ahead if you want to. just make sure to add a txt file with like copywrite or something,

[legacy-<*)_><]

Ok, so here's a link to what I made for CTFX1
http://www.k4rp.nl/files/dm-1on1-facility-layout.ut2




I'll be downloading FO this evening and probably have a look at gameplay tomorrow.
And I'll try to have a shot at QCTF this evening.

Any requirements you might have.. like nr. of players. Maybe you need an urban or industrial settings. Or am i completly free?

I've been playing frag.ops today. Reminds me a lot of tacops so I'm full of idea's but the only thing is, i couldnt play online. It started to download files. Maybe because i havent got my ut2003 installed in c:\ut2003 ?

anyways, ill be working on it

[legacy-supernewbie]

you want to make a layout for a 2d map ? :up:

[legacy-<*)_><]

If you finish it up, sure.
2d-ctf or dm?
howmany players?

anything to support k0lpA :p

[legacy-supernewbie]

there is not a single 2DDOM map yet :eek:

a DM map would be nice too

(and a 2DAS map once ut2004 arrives ;) )

just make sure it has good gameplay with lots of Z-axis :p

[legacy-<*)_><]

seeing the fact that several people wont even bother to reply.

I'll put the 2d-map at the top of my list.

[legacy-CTFX1]

bummer everything I've done on this is now gone :sour: had to do an emergency format dont ask what happened. my other map got trashed too (the one I was working on mostly) good thing it wasnt close to beta state I guess.
