Glad to see you're still working on it. Now I'm gonna see if I can get my SDK to work so I can try to come up with something as well

I'm working on a combined arms map. It's my first one, I just started to learn how to create a map. I don't have a name for it, but I think about "TE-Steppe" or something.
Regards!

Good tank maps are always welcome

Didn't build lighting in those last 2 images. I intend to finish this up and release to anyone who wants to use it in their project, if anyone is brave enough to make it usable, by all means go ahead

OMG! That's amazing! Great job! I really hope these can be properly implemented asap, because it would completely change the dynamics of the game.Clown cars not welcome

I might poke a coder or two
Do you have an interior?

Oh man! I like the way this conversation is going. Great work Shadowwill!
I remember they had a static sdkfz 222 in Day of Defeat: Source. It would be great to drive it!

Yay, clown cars! Great work shadowwill :IS2:
I've got a question for you mappers: how hard is it to create a map? I have absolutely no knowledge of SDK, 3D and stuff like that, yet I have a bunch of ideas for maps that are begging to leave my head and become solid. How steep is the learning curve of working with the SDK and 3D modelling? Also, I've heard that 4GB of RAM isn't good enough for the SDK, is it true?
EDIT: Bah, never mind. Forgot about the sticky tread. Shouldn't have mixed booze and PC
But I'd still like to know if it is really impossible to run the SDK properly with only 4 gigs of RAM, which is below the minimum specs given by TWI.

Nezzer I have two answers....
How hard is it to create a map ? Pictures say more then words....
This is me before I start working on a map !!
This is me over a month later !
Question 2
I did a lot with 4 gig. But at a certain moment its done and the editor will crash while building your map. Adding 12 gig will make life much easier and is really really worth the investment. I paid 39 euro for 8 gig and have 12 gig now. A cool side effect is that adding more memory to your computer will have a cool effect on aging. As you won't get old that fast anymore as you waste less time staring at your screen waiting for your computer to react.
Which give you more time for other things.

I could run it with 4GB, but with constant crashes every now nad then. Now I have 8GB and works much better, rarely crashes and dosn't lag.

>Nezzer: I also had zero experience with 3D modelling, UV mapping, UE3, etc. before the SDK came out and I found that watching the UDN video tutorials by 3D Buzz was an excellent way to get started with the SDK. You will definitely want to stick to using the assets provided by TWI to create your maps. I made the mistake as a beginner of choosing to build a sewer level with several seamless modular pieces. So long as you stick to urban-ish environments with your level design, TWI's assets should fit your need perfectly.

Thanks. I think I'll give it a try. I suddenly started feeling the need of having a combined arms Gorlitz/Kriegstadt kind of map, and if nobody is going to do one I'll gladly work my *** out to make one. Few people are willing to make CA maps and I'd like to fill that blank :IS2:
And how much time did it use to take to crash when you guys still had 4GB? Was it unpredictable, like taking between a couple of minutes and an hour? And thanks for the link Nightingale.

I've been awfully tempted to try and make a map also, what I'd like to do is make a rural map that has Carentan from CoD2 in the middle.

The crashing vary's between builds. For instance, I started with 8 gigs, and crash's would completely lock my rig up. Required hard reboot. Others say they can run on 4gigs, and others run with 8gigs just fine, with no hard crashing.
I upgraded to 32gigs. Runs perfect now. It only cost 150$ to get all 32gigs too. I've also learned what to not do, in order to help prevent crashing. There is a very fine, finesse involved with the SDK.
No Experience Needed. Experience will only make things go faster. And, if you worked steady, atleast 1 hour a day during week, and 4+ hours a day on weekends; I would guess after about 6 weeks, you will have a very tight grip on the sdk and will be doing just fine.
The toughest part about the SDK, is sticking with it. Don't give up.
There are plenty of us who are willing to help. It may take time to get a response, but stick with it.
That being said, here is my WIP. It can be found in the Level Design section of the forum. Link in my Sig...

That quick? I'm surprised. I'm broke at the moment so I can't upgrade my PC just yet. I'll check how the SDK runs here. I hope it doesn't crash that often, but I can't say I'm very luckyThe crashing vary's between builds. For instance, I started with 8 gigs, and crash's would completely lock my rig up. Required hard reboot. Others say they can run on 4gigs, and others run with 8gigs just fine, with no hard crashing.

Ah, and your maps is looking great. I just think the big building is standing out too much. Maybe you could tone down the lighting to make it look a bit darker like the others.

The brightness is regards to the texture originating from a daylight picture, and the map being based at night. It's not the final texture, just a stop gap to get the rest of the map going. It's also going to be remodeled with significant damage. Same thing for the two large buildings in front of it. Didn't want to spend too much time in one spot, while neglecting the rest.
