Anyone making an oldschool 'medieval' map? - Page 2

o_coyote · 12-16-2005, 11:55 AM

I like the idea of the whole medieval feeling map. I have absolutely no coding or mapping skills but I had a question/suggestion regarding the whole medieval theme.

Not sure if anyone remembers, but a personal favorite map of mine was Wastelands 3. It had like 2 large castle-esq bases that faced eachother, It was relatively small and had large dark ledges on the sides of the map that snipers could grenade jump onto and be able to hide very well.

I was wondering if perhaps a map like this would find its way into FF??

Most old games use Browns/greys.. That's it..

Most old Quake engine games, yes.

The term 'fortress' is taken from medieval times isn't is?

I think the quake engine had some sort of rendering shortcut for shades of brown and grey.

quake is a game of 54 different brown textures in medieval influence.

Vidar2 was 2 castle bases.

Chunky stone walls and wood ramps/roofs. It was sorta like well in general shape but pretty different though in layout.

Came complete with snowy out side and slippery ice in the center bridge, also a dettable ice wall to open the back entrance. Was normally played 9v9.

As brown as Q2 was, I had an affinity for its looks

Some of the greatest MP mapping ever, too. The edge, tokay(sp)'s towers, the warehouse etc.

I allways enjoyed playing vondruke_l, had that castle thing going on with the different colour power ups to choose on capping, good fun.

There was some major mid map lag with it whenever I played it though.
