[sixpakken]

I am new to ROO. started to play like 3 weeks ago.

When the editor got out I just wanna to give it a try been like 2 years sinces I last mapped anything.............
my map are fiction. and a test for me with the editor. mabye it will turn out to be a real map someday.


Anyway here are some WIP shots of the mapz, all the houses will be replaced by SM. sofar they are only places holders so I can build my terrain...

any feedback would be nice thx

looks nice, I like the atmosphere.
can you provide some kind of Objectivelayout/plan and maybe a closer view of the houses?

 

[FinFury]

Looks very nice thinking of that it's your first RO-map...

 

[DingBat]

That's not at all bad for your first map. It's great. The lighting is nice.

Areas for improvement are the terrain and buildings, but I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

Nice work!

 

[Ghad]

Definetly looks like you are able to make a great map!

Only complaint I have is that the tree facade in pic two is kinda repetitive.

Everything else looks nice, good job.

 

[sixpakken]

thx. I will put in updates as they come.

This is not my first map in unreal ED. I made some maps for raven shiled allso just my first try in a WW2 game..

i will say that the map are 10% done lol sooo long way to go but damn it fun

 

[Cthulhu]

Yup, nothing more fun than building something thousands of other people could potentially play and love.

Only complaint I have is that the tree facade in pic two is kinda repetitive..

Tip on fixing that:

Add in some variation in height to break the outline up.

Adding in a static-mesh tree every so often also helps tons!

When using facades.. make sure they are dense enough that you can't see the skybox beyond it

 

[sixpakken]

thx I try that

At first I thought that was your first Unreal map and I was going to feel real bad. Looks very nice so far.

how long did that take to do?

i think i may give mapping a try. i've already d/led the SDK

i hope its not as hard as HL/HL2 i started to map for DOD/DODS and i said the heck with it... alot of the custom maps i see being made are just too nice as in nothing is blown up, the terrain is like a walk in the park. it just takes away from a battlefield type atmosphere which i am totally for and i love terrain maps...

k thanks

I did some mapping for HL2. but getting textures and models in the hammer editor are not as easy as in UED. you need alot of text files for all the models/textures u make. and the hit effect follows the model not the texture BHA The thing i hate the most is that u have no preview of your lights, you need to go ingame to see how it looks and I think that slowwwww down the mapping for me.

This RO map have I worked on for 2 days now. like 14 x2 hours

 

[DirtyRat]

looking great m8

we are always on the look for mappers for Burning Sands, if your interested in doing a desert map

Looks very nice indeed. Just remember to add some rocks or craters and stuff like that so the ground won't be too flat
