Well, since troppo's doing it, I am. I decided to begin work on a map I've wanted to make for a while. It's mainly based in Dense bushland. At them moment I'm only 3 days into production and have only worked on it for 6 hours really. I've loaded in most of the foliage I'll be using (Not placed, just loaded) and I'm looking forward to what my end result will be, mind you, I have A LOT to do still. I haven't painted any of the layers, placed more then 1 bunker and built both HQ's. As an addition to that there's a mammoth expanse that i have to fill.

Now, here's a treat for lads like wounded. Yes, sorry, there are vtols. HOWEVER, this map is based mainly on dense bushland and cover so the chances of a vtol spotting you are like 1-100. So idiots like Aussie shall buy their Vtols only to discover that they have to use them for a more team based purpose, transportation. This should pretty much silence any serious vtol whoring on the map. Plus i intend to try make an anti-aircraft gun at the base mounted on a tower or something.


This is a shot just from the US HQ.

This shot was taken in what i plan to be not the densest piece of bushland, but close.

This is a shot of the only Bunker I've added so far. Note that the blank expanse in the backdrop is all unfinished, in fact i haven't started on it yet.

I really wana make a map, might put some time into learning how to properly use the editor.
Looks good Tear, now hurry up and finish it so i can have a go

Rofl, I need to get bloody Troppo to help me, I've got so much left to do. Either way I'm stopping for tonight. If you need help with the Editor Troppo's a bloody master with it so he'd be a great person to ask.

Man that looks fucking wicked.


However, I only have one word of caution (not to be taken as criticism):
Careful how much detail you put into a map, or it'll end up like a custom map we tried once that was a swamp with heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps of high grass everywhere, as a result everyone got alot of graphics lag and the map was just unplayable.


Perhaps put in trees and stuff and set up the parameters so it can be tested on a server over the net people can play to make sure what's there isn't already too much, then continue to refine the detail. It'd suck like a bitch if you went through all this effort to make a kick ass map that everyone lagged on on a live server.

Point taken mate.

I've still gotta work out what i can just run over with some layer paint, but my serious point that stands to defend me is the even if i smuther the map with foliage it might not even has as much as Troppo's which is currently in good working condition.

hmm might i suggest making a custom TOD? the default 1 is kinda crap.

Methinks my maps a lil closer to being finished
NO giveaways about proto













NO grass yet as it causes rage putting in new objects

daphony is that energy site under sea ? AWESOME! i have to start making my own

Nice job Pony!

I'd like to see a bit more detail into your map and then have a go at it cause it looks nice.

hahah the energy site under water is pretty cool but did u realise if theres a person from each team there its gonna be a stalemate...

lol i probably seem retarded buy HOW DO I UPLOAD A WHOLE FOLDER UP ON RAPIDSHARE?

Clerk you smartass rofl. stop pointing out my retardedness

Yet another round of screenshots. The North Korean base has been half built and the road coming out of it is looking nice.







Progress on the map is so far good, but still there's a lot more to do, might have to screenshot the empty expanse...
Anyhow, I've got to get back at it, so that's that.

ok, heres the Beta version o my map

http://rapidshare.com/files/203422594/Ponyie_s_PS.rar

it requires:
a working minimap (delete the fail one)
loading screen with any pic, title: ponyie's PS, description: Proto And 1 energy underground. Path leads to proto entry in jungle

Needs to work ingame, its listed but doesnt work when i start a server.

Thats all

BTW clerk no underground giant chickens since boids dont work in a cave . instead theres a small Zero-G area in a cave with a dead hunter
(will not crash server ) 3 scouts and 3 pure aliens which float around with some cool particle effects .
