Co Conversion ?

SnakeUb

<div class="IPBDescription">Layout questions</div> ive been working on a map and some areas are reasonable but others are a bit lacking and the idea of co_ maps sounds really good to an inexperienced mapper like me and i'm considering turning this map into a co_ map by removing a hive and retexturing the hive room , simplifying some of the layout and possibly adding a second floor in some places andway heres a pic
(i will still keep this version incase i decide to do and ns_ ver l8r)

your map remind ns_hera the rt near a big room.

the layout is nice, some of the rooms and corridors have extremely jagged and weird looking walls on the overhead sprite. try and make 45 degrees, 33/30 degrees for corners.

Errr... I don't think Co maps are supposed to have res :S

SnakeUb

it started out as a ns_ map but ive decided to change to a co map the rt's and a hive have now been removed and i have joined up the red door bit infact it is now 80% done as ive worked on it all afternoon nearly i'll post an minimap pic in a few mins when its compiled (there are 2 level over level bits so mite look weird)

SnakeUb

this is the layout now its 90% complete and will be tested once i find the source of my badsurface extents error <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Its all in the head, its becuase of having 2 large rooms & then having the shafts & small corridors all around the place, the map looks bigger than it is supposed to.

the first betas done now and will be tested by me and some friends once combat is out for playability then probably released.

it takes about 40 seconds for a rine to run to the hive and about 30 for a skulk to take the most direct route to rine start.
