Lighthouse

Bah, I just tried to open this map and it fogging crashed and won't open.
I hadn't got too far, and basically had only designed a small portion, so not much of a big loss I'll do it all again.

Here's a shot of what I had, with makeshift lighting. The map will be much like (the DX version of) dust, layout-wise; the shot shows a tunnel much like the one on dust, it'll be set next to the sea though.
I'm tempted to release different parts of the map as separate maps.

Here's an old lighthouse that has since been decomissioned and re-purchased and makes up the restaurtant part of a hotel. If I do release separate parts as full maps, the hotel will be one of them. I will also release two final versions, one that shares a very similar layout to dust (and as a result the restaurant and lighthouse will be inaccessable) and one that has access to all areas.

This is because the map may be too big and complex for small TDMs.

It wasn't that brilliant thinking back. It was badly made anyway. I'd just got a plan laid out for a working staircase to the top floor and BOOM.

In retrospect I should be happy it died because I've got more of a clear plan in my head now.

I'm hoping to make it look like quite a modern and developed city. My only probelm is I wanted to do a bridge next to the lighthouse, but that wouldn't make sence since nobody build lighthouses next to rivers.

GENIUS
You guys mail me naked pics of yourselves and I'll hide them around the map.

EDIT: actually don't do that DJ I can get arrested for that.

Will do.
Wear a pink bow this time though, I don't think cyan suited you so much.

I can remember the pain of corrupted maps all to well and I havent mapped since 2003/04. It is amazing how a frustrating topic ended up with an amazing amount of win, though. Put dans dong into the smuggler vents, you wont see them unless you turn the light aug on and whoa!

Needs a crowbar next to it so we can whack it.

For some reason I suddenly imagined a map entirely set in water, with most action going on underwater.

Or even a map entirely under water with occasional air pockets/bubbles randomly placed here and there.



metabolic end product, is it possible to make a mortal kombat kinda map? With invisible baton or something, retexed team skins making them half naked, standing in arena that might have fire bursting out here and there, possibly making no or very minimal damage. I suppose kicks would be out of this league. Altfire to block or hit with the left. Blocking is for pussies anyway, *loving* go there and go there hard.

Oh it will. I may add a small jetty as time progresses, and have considered adding a docking area across the bay.

It's been done. I found it quite fun. It was a conversion of the paris map I believe was called atlantis. Mini-crossbow fights under water are awesome.

That would be awesome and is entirely possible.
