Infinity · February 2002

im gonna make some reeeally leet sprite thingies on the map

pielemuis · February 2002

looks good.

Sgt_Bilko1 · February 2002

Can you make the lights on that post in the middle flare or shine? I think the half life engine is capable of that, but I'm not sure. That would be a cool detail, otherwise it looks great.

Infinity · February 2002

sure, all ideas are welcome <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
btw, with the 3d screenie in wc it may look like r_speeds are skyrocketed... thats not the case... r_speeds are really low when u think of the amount of detail

That outdoor area looks almost exactly like an area in Breakdown, a third-party AvP2 map that was recently released. Only reason why it doesn't look exactly like the AvP2 map is because of the engine and textures, but otherwise the architecture and layout is suspiciously similar.

Breakdown is featured at www.planetavp.com as one of their maps of the week. There's one specific screenshot that shows an outdoor area just like this one above.

Infinity · February 2002

eh... ive never seen that one... this map im making and the idea i used for this has been a veeery old mapping try that
i wanted to revive to see if it was any use

Yamazaki · February 2002

Just warning you ahead of time in case someone says you're ripping it off. I like the concept of an outdoor area that links some of the sections together, so please don't think I'm asking you to toss it out <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Infinity · February 2002

well... i still need a better texture for the cliffs...

and im already working on changing it a bit so it doesnt look like it

devilblocks · February 2002

Well if you think about it, a basic T junction with a road, surrounded by mountains isnt exactly novel (in terms of saying they were ripped off). The shot for the AvP2 map is actually at the very bottom, and what you dont see is the bridge and 2 structures waaaaaaaaay above the T junc.

Greedo · February 2002

I'd make sure that there's a way for a player to get back on the platform if they fall off, or at least a secondary passageway down there. I think it looks really cool right now, but I would definitely make sure it doesn't resemble that AvP2 map too much. I'm sure one little area showing a faint similarity won't be too bad, though.

Infinity · February 2002

well, changes are being made and a lave hole will be put under the bridge to kill noob players who cant walk straight

Infinity · February 2002

updated pics

Infinity · February 2002

last pic
this is an area that leads to one of the hives

If you can spare the r_speeds, SAFETY RAILS! Don't make me get OSHA on you.

Unknown · February 2002

So far it looks good but i think it should be less out side. I would like to see this map have some inside componets. good job so far tho.
