Looks like it's going to be a rather fun map!
Are you going to use the civilian class for the people that will hide and some other class for the ones to search or what? I remember playing thoose kind of maps in TFC.. Anyway, keep it up, looks great!

o_nodnarb · 09-11-2006, 11:32 PM

yes, civillian for hiding class, and sniper, medic, hwguy, engineer, spy, scout

Lost · 09-12-2006, 12:31 AM

Looks good.

What are you thinking for the skybox? A night version of City 17 would look kickass, sort of what Nez did for ff_tiger.

o_alligator · 09-12-2006, 12:38 AM

Dull: textures, lighting, brushwork, skybox, etc. Practice your mapping skills some more

Circuitous · 09-12-2006, 12:41 AM

GEE I WONDER WHAT HE MIGHT BE TRYING TO DO WITH THIS MAP, ALLIGATOR.

Looks alright. Needs less "abandoned gas station floating in space" and more "ooh look at all the places I could hide!"

o_nodnarb · 09-12-2006, 02:33 AM

yeah, I just made that gas station spent 3 hours on different designs untill I came up with this one. I will be making it to where you will be able to hide in the "store room" and under the car lift there will be a secret door

.

@ alligator the skybox is just temporary, I put it there so I didn't have the black space. There isn't even a bottom on it :P. as for the lighting, I am going to work on it at the end. I am just getting the main design of the buildings/town layed out before I put the final textures on it.

@ lost I was thinking of a nice night city version (like city 17) but I need alot of help with skybox seems/design.

Circuitous · 09-12-2006, 02:36 AM

Man, don't go making specific hiding places... it needs to be open and cramped at the same time, with potentially infinite spots to hide in, otherwise it loses replay value fast.

o_nodnarb · 09-12-2006, 02:45 AM

true...

o_bumgravy · 09-12-2006, 04:22 AM

nice bocks carving

try using displacements to make some rubble, and make a destroyed building, it will make things more interesting. atm it looks more like a HL1 map, so utilise the source engine features by putting in some curves and displacements.

o_yoda891 · 09-12-2006, 04:39 AM

I'll proclaim your map a success if it's the first hide and seek map to capture my attention for more than 10 minutes.

Map looks great though, all I can recommend is more variation in the theme as you build the map more; hide and seek maps get extremely boring going through the same drab and dark textures over and over.

o_kam · 09-12-2006, 07:04 AM

mmm... want some inspiration?

I started making a hide and seek map but... *cough*... got distracted.

Lost · 09-12-2006, 12:42 PM

Hmmm, that sounds like a Porn Cough, you might need to get that checked out Nez. I recommend a buxom blond, take two and call me sometime after noon.

o_nodnarb · 09-12-2006, 01:07 PM

rofl, thanks for the help, and the other page, kam

o_donny · 09-13-2006, 05:57 AM

Looks like one of them maps you see in GMod that community makes.

o_nodnarb · 09-13-2006, 12:19 PM

is that good or bad?

o_player · 09-13-2006, 02:35 PM

Most probably bad :P

In its current state it looks empty and uninspiring but if you keep mapping, the practice will eventually lead to success.

EDIT: Try and create a good atmosphere, add more details and add a 3D skybox and you will be nearing a more complete map, and that is why I understand that these are things that will be inputted later on down the line considering it is only 15% complete

o_nodnarb · 09-13-2006, 09:15 PM

exactly, this is only 1 of 5-6 streets

o_nezumi · 09-14-2006, 05:26 AM

Woah, vis alert.

How much of these 5-6 streets will be visible at once?

The basis of this map will be used in other forms. I am going to do it in a deathmatch form, and I am experimenting with other types (hunted, command point, avd) current map status: 15%, in the planning/design stages Teams/Classes: Hiders: Blue Civillian Seekers: Red Scout, Sniper, Medic, HW Guy, Engineer, Spy. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...karl_hns_1.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...karl_hns_2.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...karl_hns_3.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...karl_hns_4.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...karl_hns_5.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...karl_hns_6.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...karl_hns_7.png http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...karl_hns_8.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...karl_hns_9.jpg Last edited by o_nodnarb; 09-11-2006 at 11:34 PM.
