2MB Mapping Challenge - Majster

[Majster]

I am not mapper and I don't have any expirence in making maps. It's my first map, so there won't so many details. My target is just simple map with interesting gameplay (at last in my eyes ). Fans of GODZ Server would be happy, because my map will be similar to GODZ maps. Gameplay will be mix of Sniper Box, Bum Town and Fields of Dispair. I love sniper duels at long range and I wish sniper duels will be awesome on my map.
I try protect spawn points from spawnkillers and don't make good places for campers.
I plan to name my map "DXMP_Bunkers", I hope aren't map with that name in DXMP.

Ok, time to show some sshots:

And luminescent toilet :

OMG a golden sniper!

I miss GODZ Hillz, that map was insane. This looks similar.

First map, congratulations.

Do you want to send it and I take a look?

I'm a bit confused about lighting in some of the screenies, it almost looks underwater in one shot.

Wide open sniper map like Sniper Box or Fields of Despair sounds goods. Bumtown was camper heaven, so I'm intrigued how you will do it without too much camper spots. Good luck, it looks good so far.

Yes, I love Hills too. I wanted make looks like GODZ Hills map. Lighting is same as in Hills, in game it looks like far better than on pictures (I needed edit pictures, because was too dark).
About BumTown, from this map I have a idea for spawnpoints in single buildings. I am not going to add extra walls and places with shadows.

First map, congratulations.

Thanks.

Yes, I will send it to you.

What's with the toilet??

[chin.democ.]

Nice work Majster, remember to check out my mapping checklist and add in the bits, as it's your first ever map you should maybe only aim for the weapon boards, 2-3 spawn points and maybe the odd bio/medbot, I see you already have cabinets! I'll add one of your screenshots to the thread.

I have checked mapping checklist. Spawnpoints I have made very good. Now I search best places for biocells, lams, shells, emps, gas grenades and all these stuff. I have some problems with repair bots, it's difficult to make it, but I will try ofc.

OMG a golden sniper!

It's really GODZ sniper rifle and this sniper rifle deserves to be golden.

What's with the toilet??

I always wanted see that toilet in DXMP. It's special toilet.

Majster, as I told Avatar, actors like toilets (deco actors) will merge better with the brushwork if there are brushes interfacing in between the wall and the actor. At the moment they are a little detached from each other. It's not mandatory, but it does help actors sit in place if they aren't just slapped against walls and ceilings, but there is an interface. E.G. A light switch has a tiny brush it sits on, that brush then sits on the wall. It could even be a slight subtraction, but something to help actors sit in place.

Also, yes it's your first map, but don't be afraid to add details and history to your map and see how far you can take it.

I have finished my map for the competition. Shadowrunner suggested me to make skybox and fix my brush work. Sadly, I didn't have time because of exams to do it. Shadow explained me how to make a skaybox, but I need guide with pictures step by step.
If gameplay on my map will be enjoyable for players, I will continue work or I will give this map in good hands.

[ShadowRunner]

Hmm ok perhaps there could be a tutorials section or I post in the "questions about deus ex section".

I thought Tack covered Skybox, but sure I can make one. I have some nice skyboxes.

If you could add skybox to this map, would be great!
