It's 2099 after Christ and the Northern Faction is still angry at the brenodi empire :p How would you guys like an indoor infantry Capture The Flag map? I made some custom textures and started on my first empires map. It's lots of work but i'm prepared to finish it if you want such a map!
I for one liked Blight's emp_blast, which was basically an indoor flag map, but there was a lot hate from other people towards it. With some minimap trigger things to dynamically change the minimap it could be quite fun, but coding GUI stuff is quite crappy.
well, there was a bunch of reasons for that like: -no minimap -no obvious "waypoints" -secret place (do not ever put that in empires map) - cameras hidden behind crates make sure you'll lear from that and your map will be hate-free (not really, you might wanna restrict grens since mines are a pain in the ass in such places)
I prefer not having a minimap but I don't think I can disable it. ? I'll add lots of hints for where to go, it'll be obvious. Norther faction will have all redisch textures and brenodig blue textures. Thanks for the info guys
Why would you want a minimap for a CTF map or even a deathmatch map, the only use is for the huge maps. I agree the "secret" shit is annoying in empires.
there will be no 'secret rooms' or stuff like that in the map but I already made an elevator and will add much more buttons and functions
But I loves me minimap :D Also, I think you need some type of minimap (or else people won't be able to spawn). Minimaps may not be very 'fps-standard' but they sure help navigating complicated maps. I don't see why a reason for a ctf map not to have one.
They included a lot of generic light volume props in episode 2, although they rarely look good so I never felt compelled to use them.
the window glare looks silly, it behaves not as you would expect light to behave and comes over completely unnatural to me (in this scenario)
Actually it's because the bottoms of the lights are angled, they should be parallel with the ceiling.
meh you are overly critical - especially those guys that know how all the props already ... someone unexperience with mapping prolly goes - wow wtf friggin awesum i see some stuff that could use some more love other than the light too ... but seriously it looks very nice, now go make more ... and dont forget to keep us updated - and always remember, we loooove screenies edit: oh btw, dont let this disencourage you, but we had an indoor infantry map - cant really recall its name, was it gauntlet - and ppl hated it (including me - but i hate any map that has no comm - its empires, not CTF, CaH or whatsoever)
