Take a gander at 'lake' - Page 4

omgz sexah! This just increased my need for FF. Awesome job man.

*Drags out this old map again*

Alright gang, here's the scoop: If you want me to remake this, I will. I'll pick out better textures, add more detail and make it high-quality, but I like the general layout a whole lot.

On the other hand, there are a handful of high quality maps out/coming out soon in addition to the many maps the FF team is releasing, so if you don't want this map, I'll let it sit in the dumpster.

Love,
Imbrifer

I'd like to see this map get made. The lake idea was cool and the geometry and layout and everything seemed cool too.

Although the texturing was really really really grey :P

But with some better textures I'd really like to play this map.

o_bobmarleyfan · 06-10-2006, 06:13 PM

Definetly keep it.

o_dr zoidberg · 06-10-2006, 09:24 PM

make it! =)

o_own3r · 06-10-2006, 11:02 PM

keep going but for goodness sake make the ambient light interesting grey does nothing for me.

**mervaka** · 06-11-2006, 12:26 AM

heaven forbid, dont bin this! even if you dont remake it, you'll regret binning it!

o_nocomply · 06-11-2006, 09:40 PM

Map is looking really good, like the flare lights outside the base. You really should be putting in some pipes and vents to add a bit more geometry into your map. The ceilings, walls, etc are sparse and could use a bit more geometry. Like maybe some I beams on the ceilings in places, or just rounded walls(not sure if you know what I mean, like a short wall hanging from the ceiling) that break up the celing a bit. Openness does allow for some good fighting, but maybe throw some grates with pipes behind them running through the walls, some innaccessable skylights etc.

Just needs a bit more spice to it, there is some nice geometry going on there, would like to see just a bit more of it. Attention to little details and some nice design elements could give this map a bit more life to it so it's not quite so drab and grey looking. Like some small red/blue lighting to accent parts of hallways or stairs etc.

Anyway, keep it up, looks great!

o_racer · 06-11-2006, 09:57 PM

One of the maps im most looking forward to, keep going. I dont see a need to start from scratch just retexture and add in detail as u see fit.

o_zaskar · 06-13-2006, 01:54 PM

Take the pipe idea people suggested tro add some "spice" to the halls and rooms. but make them tinted blue or red for the respective basses

o_donny · 06-13-2006, 03:38 PM

You will make it, or the g-man will rape you.

When you have started making it:
I dislike the red lights seen on the old pics.

o_ambex · 06-13-2006, 03:41 PM

Comrade.. This is simply gray-ish map style you have chosen.

Looks round and gray.

o_imbrifer · 06-13-2006, 03:50 PM

Wow, there is impressive demand for me to remake this, so I will. It won't be for a bit, but judging by what crackerjack said in his DEV journal, FF wont be out for months to come anyhow.

I'll definitely retexture the map, and increase the light a bit.. though I'll keep the rain. I really like how the outside nature textures go with the walkway, but I'll retex the inside and outside of the base.

The biggest problem I had (and why I stopped working on this map) was because the framerates flipped out, and nothing I did would lower them. I have some more ideas and tricks that I'll try, though, and hopefully the thing can be saved.

o_etzell · 06-13-2006, 06:33 PM

No, Crackerjack said Openfire won't be done for months. He said NOTHING of the rest of the mod, Openfire doesn't have to come out with the first release. :P

o_nodnarb · 07-17-2006, 05:17 PM

yes, this map looks awesome!! and also what ^^he^^ said about it being dark

o_ivaqual · 07-17-2006, 05:45 PM

Redo the interior if you want, but please keep the outdoors/midmap.

o_stino · 07-17-2006, 06:11 PM

lol nagual, i think the indoors is fine, but that the outdoors(the water) is causing the fps drops

o_imbrifer · 07-17-2006, 07:22 PM

Well, truth be told I've been working (slowly) on an updated version of this map. I started straight from scratch, but the outside is going to end up almost exactly the same while I pretty up the inside quite a bit.

The only thing I'm wondering about is the objective:
1. Should I keep it CTF with a lockdown button?
2. Should I make it rock2ish, where you activate the gasses and then go to a different part of the base and ignite them, toasting everyone in the base?
3. Should it be reverse-CTF where you must take your flag to their base?

I'll post screenies when I have enough of the map put together so they won't look like trash

o_vanilla gorilla · 07-17-2006, 07:35 PM

Lookin good. If there's one thing that is under used when creating a map, I think it's water.

The source water effect is amazing and it's great to see it used correctly, like in your map.

o_nodnarb · 07-17-2006, 08:45 PM

yes the source water is awesome looking

also is this the vanilla gorilla that (used to) plays on [SMK]
