Just some early shots of my next double map release... I'm about halfway done with it... maybe a week or so...

legacy-Grendel187 · 10-21-2002, 11:53 PM

Looks a lot like that one DD map, can't remember the name. It still looks DAMN good, can't wait.:up:

That's it, thanks

**legacy-w.r.e.c.k.s.** · 10-21-2002, 11:56 PM

Yeah... a few static meshes and the skybox are the same as scorched earth... Its a combo of original architecture and included static meshes....

legacy-Grendel187 · 10-21-2002, 11:58 PM

It looks good man. I really look forward to ALL of your maps.
Let me say it like this..... you, you got skills B.

**legacy-Killroy X** · 10-22-2002, 12:11 AM

Definately an eye catcher! This one has got atmosphere out the @ss! Lookin forward to this one.

I sure wish I could be a map maker....

legacy-[-StRyKeR-] · 10-22-2002, 12:17 AM

Nice... I look skyward and almost expect a Dragon to swoop down and fry my @ss (as in Reign of Fire).

Kewl!

Looks dark in the pics but I hope ingame it bright enough to see where everything is etc.

**legacy-PRiMeEViL.SiN** · 10-22-2002, 12:20 AM

Change the skybox so it doesn't look like a clone of scorched earth

But it looks good

**legacy-Iceburgs** · 10-22-2002, 12:59 AM

The tone is great! I can't wait to see the map!

legacy-Parantapa · 10-22-2002, 04:31 AM

Great looking map :up:

I have one suggestion to make though -

First of all, the rest of this post is based on the assumption that the map consists of some kind of an elevated structure over lava.

If so, then please do not make this into a BR map because it would become very easy to keep reseting the ball by simply launching it off the edge. This interrupts the flow of the game and IMO that is irritating. All it would take to ruin a game is a bunch of llamas who keep reseting the ball everytime they lay their hands on it. Try making it into a CTF or DD map and see how it plays.

Keep up the good work.

legacy-CruSiS · 10-22-2002, 04:34 AM

cant wait to see the map when it's finished, keep this work up :up:

legacy-Loosecontroll5 · 10-22-2002, 05:23 AM

Good stuff again!.

You will end up being 1 of the Great mappers if u carry on like this.
have u tried usng different skyboxes though, as maybe another one could look better.

Your website is cool aswell and added to my faves.

legacy-ReBoRnNiNjA · 10-22-2002, 08:08 AM

OMG dude! Thats great! Can't wait to download it!:up:

**legacy-Prom3theus** · 10-22-2002, 08:35 AM

:up:

legacy-me again · 10-22-2002, 12:29 PM

For those of you that don't know him...w.r.ee.c.k.s. was one of he elite mappers for Red Faction. "B does have skills". I am sure all of his maps will rock.

Keep it up w.r.e.c.k.s.

**legacy-w.r.e.c.k.s.** · 10-22-2002, 04:23 PM

The skybox just seems to fit perfectly with the mood I'm trying to create, but I am and will contiunue to toy around with some new graphics.... who knows.....

legacy-MannyFresh027 · 10-22-2002, 04:30 PM

legacy-SPANKIN' · 10-22-2002, 05:02 PM

could always put a fence around it to stop that in most places...

legacy-Green Lining · 10-22-2002, 06:35 PM

That sky certainly looks real. I guess that's all you can ask for. It's definaltley not UNLIT like alot of the skyboxes in the game.

legacy-Green Lining · 10-22-2002, 06:39 PM

I looked at your Website. Really cool.
I had an idea for a map called Golgotha too.

My current map is starting to look like myst online. I guess that's good. Probably even looks better then that engine.

**legacy-Teddie** · 10-22-2002, 06:46 PM

This looks absolutely kick a$$ to me.

I'd keep the skybox that you're using. Like you said, it fits the mood of what you're doing...

Beautiful.

**legacy-Teddie** · 10-22-2002, 06:47 PM

wrecks, by the way, have you tested your map in multiplayer?

Let me know if your skybox works in multiplayer on the client side.

A lot of people are having a problem with this (me included). Just thought I'd shoot it your way.

legacy-Parantapa · 10-22-2002, 07:20 PM

But that would ruin the looks of the map which would be a pity as this one looks darn good from the screenshots.

legacy-Mythril - B2F · 10-22-2002, 09:06 PM

DAMN FINE looking map there. Can't wait for that one

legacy-Verizondude · 10-23-2002, 08:03 AM

Stop read the board and finish the map.

LOL... I'm workin' on it

**legacy-w.r.e.c.k.s.** · 10-27-2002, 05:58 PM

I'm currently in the path builing and optimization process... I'm also tweaking a bit of architecture here and there. I should have it [hopefully] done by next weekend. Here's a couple more shots

:

legacy-Mythril - B2F · 10-27-2002, 07:18 PM

WOW... The more I see of this map, the more I like it. Roll on next weekend is all I can say

Regards

**legacy-Mort_Q** · 10-27-2002, 07:55 PM

Can't get through to see the pics....

.... anywhere else I can look?

legacy-Mythril - B2F · 11-04-2002, 08:12 AM

Just wondering if this map is nearly finished ?!?

Regards

Mythril - B2F

legacy-BionicBeast_ · 11-04-2002, 08:28 AM

wow. that would be a huge resource hog! a good looking resource hog.

**legacy-ViciousLoad** · 11-04-2002, 05:29 PM

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOw,maps are looking mad crazy these days........sry i gave my feedback in late but this map look excellent.......

legacy--=WhiteWulf=- · 11-04-2002, 09:54 PM

Looks like the skybox was copied from BR-Legacy and the color/hue was changed :weird:

**Plumb_Drumb** · 11-05-2002, 03:15 AM

Excellent use of fog and skybox. They mesh so well together.
I wish more people could do that properly (I know it's hard with some skyboxes, though).

It looks great!
