DXMP_(NotYetNamed)_WIP - Postby Alvind » 23 Nov 2014, 21:12


Had some brushes from some old maps that never got around to finishing but was a shame to let them go to waste so I've reorganised them into something quick and simple but hopefully enjoyable to play in a DeathMatch. Working on it throughout the week and might take up DXMP again so see how it goes.

Looks interesting and technical to map, looking forward to this.

Am I the only mapper who textures things as they map and then change a texture if needed along the way?? No right or wrong to do it I guess so just a genuine question.

I usually texture as I go along, especially with textures that have some detail or feature, because I want to position brushes correctly. Alvin's map is a completely different style though. In this map I particularly like the doorways being above each other, attacks from all angles. Good stuff, good to see a few mappers are active.

I tend to begin with a wall texture of average complexity and clearly defined lines, like those gray ones on Airfield.UTX, both floors and ceilings start off with super simple textures or tiles.
Later on, i get obsessive with angled slopes and making sure stairways are always even and texturing the vertical faces of each step is very annoying!

I like to work in sections. Geometry first then texturing then lighting and then final tweaks. There are a few sniping points around the map and in alot of the map , the player can be quite exposed. But I expect it to be balanced nicely enough. There is enough cover to balance the exposure and weapon placement comes into this as well.
