winner_rex Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 OK, along with my other projects I have a city map on the backburner...It's pretty big, but in my opinion that's its only real plus. here are shots: http://home.adelphia.net/~nraec1/wip/city/
SunBurN Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 Hell yeah, that's sweet bro! Question, where did you get the obi skin? and do you have an anakin one? They would work perfectly for the map I have in development.
Drakewl Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 your level has potential but it could need some better texturing often good textures "make" the level rather than the common architecture imho the texture with all those small yellow lighted windows doesnt fit into the scene, also some other textures could need some tweaking also i wouldn't recommend to use too many different (and colorful) skyscraper textures, less can be more A certain skyscraper should have textures of almost the same color. Try to use different textures (but of the same style) for skyscraper walls, segments, plateaus and roofs. stuff up the plateau with low detail objects like light pillars, railings, crates, additional balconies create a dim lighting environment, it has even the advantage that colorful textures wont look too saturated any more from time to time you (as a player) should be guided into groups of small rooms to not become used to the "plateau environment", variety is important. And through rooms or tunnels you could get to new areas that have completely different art assets (models and textures), this way you could get to a better visibility management that influences the framerate
Wes Marrakesh Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 why would you want to stop that? it's great! KUTGW1
Xzzy Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 looks like a dark side gripper's wet dream. Can't say much on the layout because I can't see a whole lot of the map, but I will agree that the textures need some work. Lighting would probably help that though, dim some of the colors with shadows and you'd see a big improvement. Is pretty decent you those r_speeds with that amount of space visible. Provided there's some good fighting arenas it could be a fun map.
Kstar__2 Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 YES, it looks really great, and i hope its as big as you say, i loved the big lvls in JK, too bad all the JO lvls are so small
winner_rex Posted July 18, 2002 Author Posted July 18, 2002 thanks for the advice. I got the skin from an episode 2 skinpack. [edit] Wow look at all those positive responses! hmm hmm hmm
winner_rex Posted July 18, 2002 Author Posted July 18, 2002 Ok, heres another question... Nar Shadaa or Coruscant?
Wes Marrakesh Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 coruscant... nar shadda is in JK and JO, single and multiplayer
Alpha-Tango Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 What exactly am I looking at here? All I see is a bunch of poorly textured brushes. I see no resemblance to any city of any kind. Sorry, just my opinion.
winner_rex Posted July 19, 2002 Author Posted July 19, 2002 Well, Bantha Fodder... Obviously the textures will be reworked, it isn't fully lit, there is no detail architecture or signs of life added yet. Thus, "Should I CONTINUE..." Now I know there arent enough screenshots, but they don't illustrate the amount of scale. Be positive
Alpha-Tango Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 Bantha Fodder... OH I get it, because I have a low post count my opinion is automatically disregarded because I couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about! Right... Very ignorant of you... The second you post your work for critique; you are open to people's opinion. I mean after all that is what you're looking for correct?! Just because I won't tell you sh|t like "good job!" or "looking good, keep going" doesn't mean you have to dismiss my opinion on the topic. Or maybe you're just looking for a pat on the back for your work and not really seeking any REAL feedback. In that case, nevermind and "GOOD WORK THERE BUDDY!" oh and "LOOKING GOOD! KEEP IT UP!" heh...
darth_micke Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 Alpha: maybe coz some ppl figure he will get nicer textures and plus its a reall nice job with the building part....
winner_rex Posted July 20, 2002 Author Posted July 20, 2002 Thanks, Darth... Alpha, I would not dismiss your opinion if I were looking for "opinions" that were little more than flames. Bantha Fodder not only related to your post count but your lack of tact and maturity. You see, almost all the above posters have offered what they feel would make it a better map. Few have said "GOOD WORK BUDDY," at least not without pairing it with a constructive criticism. Whereas they have suggested different things, all you did was say "I don't like it." Perhaps I should have made that clearer in an earlier post, but your input is no longer necessary. Thank you.
Xzzy Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 i just wanna see him post links to maps he's made, since obviously he's so good at mapmaking that even early beta versions look like the q3 version of the mona lisa.
GoldenFrog Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 This looks like a map I will like! My favorite thing to do is throw people off edges (and it's not easy) and I see a few.
winner_rex Posted July 20, 2002 Author Posted July 20, 2002 Believe me the map is almost nothing BUT ledges lol. Here's what's planned for this map (yes it will be finished at some point)... You couldn't really force jump between areas (easily) so there will be lots of traffic and "buoys" you can jump to and from to get from place to place. Much like the falling scenes in episode II. Xzzy: heh, didn't he make FFA_Box?
Green Hornet Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 your map looks alright. i even think your texturing is ok. but it looks big. if its gonna be too big then i wouldnt finish. i scraped one of my projects cause it was too big. thats my opinion. ps looks more nar shadaa than coruscant to me:3headed:

Hanch Saode Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 That's one kick ass map! Though the textures but you have already pointed that out so... Coruscant of course...since that is the most cool location...almost... Any new to tell....? What about the traffic at Coruscant... (sorry if you have already told abt it, but I was in a hurry reading )
Ah Boon Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 coruscant textures pls!!! and you really really should continue this map!
