Great Map Theme

Amped1

<div class="IPBDescription">But No Mapping Skills</div> Hey anyone busted on an idea for a map theme? I have given up on learning Hammer Editor. So have my idea. I was planning on theming it around a factory. It would have conveyer belts, crates, and boxes. I also planned to have pipes that are used as vents. Yes actual circle pipes that have a trickle of water running thru them. The only real stuff I could come up with. If you want the map design that I din't even finish then here. Red is vents and I labeled the only hive and the marine start. Twiddle with it and see if you can make something good out of it.

Oh and circles are res nodes and the gray box is an elevator.

hmm looks like an ordinary layout, nothing inspiring. i would rather do my own layout than use yours. not that i think it is completely unusable, no it might even be a good one, but it is kinda difficult to get your own ideas into the shape of the layout from someone else me thinks.

as i found out in my ns_botany map, the routes between the hive and marine base must be much more complex. You've also letf alot open. Where are the other 2 hives? Now im not saying you should make it as complex as mine because i just went overboard with it making a massive map. But you'll want a similar complexity between key places but not necessarily the whole map. Anyway the factory look was warn down by half-life where every level had crates in it. Your going to want to try something more original that fits the ns theme.

.........you must have read only the first sentence. I said it was an unfinished concept drawing. Obviously it isn't gonna be perfect. And as for the factory, I was going more along the lines of converyer belts and stuff like that, rather than massive amounts of crates.

did you play half-life? I'm telling you the factory look is overdone. Conveyor belts and all. I read the whole thing but misread the unfisnished part it seems. In any case i think that if you really wanted it done you'd finish the concept yourself.

Papercut

Too many res-nodes.
