Sh*tAbricK Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Hey... um... (Im pretty intimidated here) Im a newbie of mapping, started yesterday night and Im working on a duel map and I would like some Help and or suggestions maybe on how to get performance up, Texture Coordination (I could be considered color blind, Im not tho), and whatnot. Take in mind this is my 3rd map (other 2 were total screwups) and that I have no idea almost of what Im doing. I know there are some bugs (Texture Clipping, Some Lighting thing that makes the highlight cast by the sabre All Liney'). Plus its HUGE, I didnt think that It would end up this big, Sh*t happens. I didnt expect the 3d Scale was actual sizing. If anyone wants to give me their opinion plz do, negative or positive. Thanks map file Map and Bak files Just in case you can improve on it. Plz send to me for approval before publicizing. Oh yeah, Its a mess too BSP File lol, I was intending to make the colloseum from the Movie gladiator, but... Like I said b4 Sh*t happens P.S. Add Cheese No Lettuce, No tomatoe, Extra Mayo and Onions [Edit] Forgot to add screen shots. Its bland, yes, but a decent layout for dueling... http://24.94.229.38/1.jpg http://24.94.229.38/2.jpg[/Edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine_IX Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 That doesn't sound good.... tip 1 START SMALL That way you'll be done quicker and onto your next map. Jedi knight has the perfect game format for small maps: Duel. Make a few duel maps, I've had a little mapping experience and the one thing I've learnt is that for a noob mapper: The bigger it is, the more of a head ache it is and the uglier it will be. I'm in my first map in GTKRadiant and guess what? It's a duel map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh*tAbricK Posted May 17, 2002 Author Share Posted May 17, 2002 lol, It was supposed to be small, but guess what. I didnt think that the scale in 3d mode was actual Size. Anyway, the map itself IS small, Just really tall. Also, I DID make a duel map (I Dont think Ill ever be able to make ANYTHING like bespin, or any other maps that are FFA, I Dont like to do custom textures). Im giving it my best try for having only made 3 maps. Most ppl that have seen it say its good for being a newb. Again... I dont know how to make my map show up in the create server list (Do i make an .arena file or what?). I also dont know how to make a sky. the only reason my map isnt Open... Anyone willing to answer these questions for me maybe? Thanks in advance Sh*t :evil6: :nut: [Edit] I also fixed all the bugs so its not too bad now[/Edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fman Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 definately start small, i was in exactly your position and the 3rd map i made was huge, i had soo many problems with it. thankfully someone was nice enough to help me fix it and taught me a little something. in the end it was looking really nice but got road blocked by an error no one had ever heard of, so the map ended up a big waste of time. i reiterate, start small.
