Great Idea For A Map!

Carnaxus

<div class="IPBDescription">I was reading a post about legos...</div> ...elsewhere in the forum (general discussion) and someone mentioned the fact that someone's map made theirs look like someting a 5-year-old had made with Legos, and this great idea just hit me. Build a map that looks like it's made with Legos! Of course, it would have to be a combat map, because in order to get the many-colored Lego bricks in, you would have to use waaaaay too many blocks for the HL engine to handle in a full-size NS map, but a combat map would be perfect! I can see the name: co_legoland! And be sure to remember the Lego trees and cars!

hmm sounds good to me

only problem is that my Hammer is screwed up so if someone else could please work on it and pm me with the results I would be sooooooo happy I would probably give them whatever they wanted for the rest of their lives!

MY IDEA!

Lol, yeah... if someone makes lego textures, I'll give this a shot (I suck at making my own textures... they look like... well... something that an onos regurgitates)

texture boys, get to work! :D

Damn... I was thinking about this a week ago without reading about it on the forum. I was thinking just taking some single colour texture and prefabbing blocks. Then put them together! I have a simple wad like this but it took all of 5 minutes to make in wally. You just make 16x16 textures and fill with one colour. I don't think that's what yer looking for though! (co_pron used this particular wad if you want to see what I mean)

Something like this has already been done (not saying dont do it, just letting you know) Theres a mod for q3a (i know, q3a sucks ****, but i played it before i got ut, so im innocent) called Alliance (http://www.planetquake3.net/download.php?op=viewsdownload&sid=53) one of the maps included in it is 2 castles seperated by a courtyard. The entire thing is lego, even the trees look like those conical ones.

This map <i>might</i> have been in a mappack called threewave, not positive, but its prolly in alliance.

Might be a good example if you wanna go ahead with it.

this doesnt fit in with ns maps, but it would be cool if the map were a lego village, with some lego guys in different poses around the place.

You wouldnt need to make individual bricks for each color.
Just get a good WAD going.

And we all know that your Hammer isnt really broken ;P

Carnaxus

uhh...yeah it is. it went kaput only five minutes after I posted those pics in co_escape thread. and bullethead, srry if it was ur idea, I didn't know that. I just read about it like last night at about 10:00 so I didn't bother looking around for repeats of the idea. Sorry.

How difficult could it be? Lemme see, there's:

Red
Yellow
Blue
Green
Black

But seriously they would be the easiest textures to make evarr! Take those basic aforementioned colours, add a sparse lighting to the texture. Then copy those same textures and add the bumps for the bricktop texture. Other than that you'd maybe want to make a wang glass effect, a rubbish wood effect (or simply brown) and copy some of the console designs.

I'd recommend to change the LEGO symbol to avoid coyright infringements, maybe <i><b>LERKO</b></i> or something!

P.S. There's someone working on Lego player models (maybe weapon models too) in the Custie forums. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to tell him about this, maybe you could release a custom NS Mod!
