2d Ns Map Design Layout

JRock

<div class="IPBDescription">for mappers to take ideas from</div> Here's how I would lay out a map if I had the time/talent to actually create it in WorldCraft/etc:

1600x1200 but only 70k in size (GIF):

Things the map would still need after being built:

*textures
*lighting
*ledges and height to the rooms
*objects in the rooms (computer consoles, etc)
*visual/auditory effects (broken steam pipes shooting/hissing, etc)

I really wish I had the skills to actually create this map cuz I think it'd be fun to play. I lack the time to make it, and even if I made the basic map layout, I don't have the talent to make it look as beautiful as some of you truly talented mapmakers. If anyone can take some of the design ideas from this map and incorporate them into their own works, that is cool. Enjoy!

If you're curious it says "WIP by JRock" and WIP stands for Work In Progress.

hl does not like long straight corridors and straight crossings for performance reasons.
i really want to see such a room with many small paths.

JRock

What are straight crossings? You mean like 90-degree corridor intersections?

Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up!

JRock

Okay.
