Level Design Industrial map

[Drecks]

I'm new to UnrealED and RO mapping but i'm working on a map.
I did post some questions about mapping already but i rather discover it
all by myself.

I have some screens already but the map is far from done.
The setting is industrial and it will be an infantrymap.

Still need more knowledge about lightning, fog and things to increase performance. I don't even know how to release an RO map.
Do i release the rom file only or do i need to zip it ?

the best is, to put the .rom-file into a .zip-archive
you can upload your map on maporchestra.

Bad Dask. All mappers should zip the files up, but they should also put them in their proper folders starting with the RedOrchestra folder so people can just unzip to the SteamApps folder and everything will auto be placed.

Such as if you just have a map with no custom textures or meshes. Redorchestra/Maps/mapname.rom

or if you have a map with custom content

RedOrchestra/Maps/mapname.rom
RedOrchestra/textures/customtexture.utx
RedOrchestra/StaticMesh/custommesh.usomthingfile hehe

That map looks damn nice. Keep up the good work and make sure you tell us where to get it when it's done!

Solid start.. looks like it'd be fun :]

although I'd recommend adding another dirt/gravel layer to the terrain for areas that would be more worn (like under the RR tracks..).. paths between buildings.. etc.

 

[DirtyRat]

ooooh cant wait to play a Drecks map on RO!

Looking good, there really seems to be alot of great looking custom maps in the works good work all mappers.

 

[shadowmoses]

Reminds me of the old Silo map...Pretty cool man.
Nice work.

 

[JAKL]

Keep up the good work Drecks. You're transitioning to RO mapping nicely.

 

[breadtruck]

Looking good. Cant wait to see the finished result.

 

[Drecks]

The update...

Objectives seems to work.
Bots run to the objectives.
Zone portals and antiportals seems to work.

To do:

Objectives and spawns needs to be tweaked.
At least three buildings needs to be finished.
Buildings needs fancy stuff and detail.
Much more cover needed.
etc. etc.

I can't make screenshots without stripes ?????

other than the stripe... which is just the screen shot i know...

map looks awesome

 

[ButchCassidy]

Looks like it's shaping up to be a good map Drecks..Well done.

 

[UncleDrax]

Shaping up nicely..

Looks like you got all the major features down.. now you should add in the fluff to make the level pop

Things like foilage on the corners of structures where weeds and things tend to grow if unkempt.

In your rubble piles, add in some brick and boards.. someting ot make it really look like rubble, instead of just a pile of grey-ground

Basically once you get the level setup, see how much room you have for eyecandy and add in some


Outa curiousity.. what kinda of FPS and hardware you have? I'm wondering how well this will play for people on mid/lower range systems. (and don't forget your optimization if you haven't already)

The stripes in the screenshots look like the screenshot was taken as the video card was refreshing the screen buffer. This could be due to your Vertical sync settings or refresh rate.

Looking good cant wait to play it.

 

[Cthulhu]

Wow. Looks very nice.

Keep it up man.

 

[daschewy]

[Nestor Makhno]
