Level Design Stalingrad grain elevator

[D.a.L-UnteroffizierG]

Hi Folks,

i have no "real" experience in mapping but i startet with mapping yesterday.

The map takes place in Stalingrad in 1942. There were intense infantry fights around the HUGE grain elevator of stalingrad:

(The pic is from www.Stalingrad-info.com not from me)

The map will be infantry only and mainly bolt action.

Here is a Shot of the elevator:

and here are some pic of the map which i started yesterday:

The elevator:

German spawn in a factory:

Here the russians will shoot on germans:

you cant see much yet. But i would like to hear your comments on my idea. (including criticism)


Cheers

some more craters infront of the elevator would be nice to symbolize the artillary effect on the surrounding

Dont forget that this battle went on constantly for over a week, ie bullets were constnatly flying.

It would be interesting to see 2 maps made on this scenario. An early map (yours) with infantry only, and then a later map with slightly more ruined surroundings involving tanks an anti-tank stuff as well.
Obviously there could be some changes to make it less "samey" (who wants 2 almost indentical maps?), such as destroying some buildings, adding more craters/defences etc, and of course vehicles.

Just a suggestion for what you could do as your second map It would be interesting to see map "series" showing the development of certain battles over key points.

Wow, this looks good, and you never really mapped before?

nice going

If you really want to be committed, download the mod version of RO and the custom map RO_Silo. Its gameplay sucked so bad it was basically universally hated, yet its concept is the same as yours.

You could learn what NOT to do in your map. Good luck.

Why was RO-Silo hated? I liked it. It was pretty cool.

 

[grahvem]

well, the silo map is one hell of a massacre...
IRL the germans lost about 1000 men there ^^ fighting for it for almost a week or two... must be a booring map

 

[dasKaRmA]

too badthat I lost all my RO.3.3 maps, cause I started reworking my SIlo map and I had lots of reference material.... , but If you need help with this project, ask me.

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

bump.

Any updates or pictures?

 

[PUTZ]

I don't know what you be smoking Brit, but I enjoyed Silo. Good rifle map.

hi folks.

updates will follow this week! i was one month without internet. and as you all know: there is no steam without internet

i will try to deliver a playable map next week. but i dont know if ill can make it if we get in the final of the FIFA WM 2006!

What do you need steam for? not to start SDK (unless you are rebuilding every time).
