[CP] The "Ten" Community Project! Completed! First post!!

[Remmirath]

I'll probably remove the sky texture to comply with the project rules unless otherwise noted.

I don't think that F_SKY1 is considered as a texture...

@Onslaught Six: Hey, if I hadn't already done loads of techbase maps, I'd have probably made another one, as they're by far the easiest theme to do with limited textures.

@Topic in general: I'm not too sure if I'll do any screenshots until the map is finished, as what I take shots of now might change when I do the background.

F_Sky1 doesn't count as a flat because it's not really a flat, it just displays the sky or skybox...whichever you wish to use...XD

Thanks for all the input guys, the project is getting better all the time! ^^
Slots are still open so anyone else interested can still join, multiplayer maps are avalible too, so if single player mapping isn't really your thing, you can still join in..

Main post updated again with name changes etc- Not really sure there is much other really needing changing right now, so unless you haven't read it yet, not much point going back to check it!

Well, my map is technically finished (playable and all the rest of it), but I still need to do the background, which I will leave for tomorrow, as I'm bored of mapping now.

I'll warn people now that it is quite challenging, especially on UV. Difficulty modes are implemented and do make quite a difference though. I think it'll be a bit nicer if its not from a pistol start though.

It has 71 monsters on UV and Nightmare (about 12 of which are spawned through scripts), and takes about 8 and a half minutes for me to play through, killing everything, finding everything and picking everything up. The playing area coils nicely into the 2048x2048 square, with a little space to spare in places. The background will expand the overall map by about 512 in both dimensions, I think.

I'm past the halfway mark with my map, design wise. I've added more areas of the river bed and canyon outside of the "pillar room". Now I just need to add the major canyon area and gameplay.

When the map structure is complete I'll post screenies. I hope to have the map structure done sometime tomorrow, possibly friday.

I, too, am going to wait till I am done most of my map before posting some screen shots. I would say, at the moment, that my map is about 60% done. I am basically done all of the room outlines, I will need to go back to do the detailing. As for the title, I think I am going to call it "Freedom" (might change it if I think of something better).

A very basic storyline is that you start inside a main tower, and you must fight your way out of the giant pit that you were trapped inside of.

[Remmirath]

Heh, nice work so far...
My map is called Tech Base, and everything starts from here...
You have been sent to this base to investigate the disappearance of some scientists...when you get there, you found nothing but hell...

Map is 80% complete, and it has some thing spawning and lots of detail...

[Snarboo]

I am very close to finishing my map's structure. I'd say I'm near 75%, if not more. It's not as epic as I wanted it to be, mostly due to linearity and the 3D bridges being used more as window dressing, but I'm still very happy with it. We'll see how it goes when I add gameplay. :)

[FuzzballFox]

Woot! X3 Any small chance from a couple of screenies meybe?
Oh, and did you check out that music file?

[Snarboo]

I want to finish the level before I upload screenies. As for the song, let me check.

Edit:
It's about 3.8 megs. It would probably be better to keep it seperate and upload it in a .wad file along with my level.

[Phobus]

Well... seems too much is going on for me today and tomorrow. I've made a start on the background, but it's not finished. I'll finish it up some time on Saturday, and then upload it so it can be played.

Yeah, that is a little big, and okies ^^

[Snarboo]

The map's structure is 99% complete! The final things that I am going to add are the last two secrets and gameplay.

I have to say I'm very excited. This will be the first map I've really completed and uploaded for others to play. Hopefully this is the start of more maps. :)

Screenies coming later today. I'm also considering doing another map for the project, but we'll see how things go in the next few days.

[FuzzballFox]

Okies Snarboo, can't wait to see!
If you feel like making another map as you said, go ahead- lots of spaces free..specially the multiplayer levels..:3

[Snarboo]

Screenshot time! :3

The starting area, and the first part of the underground river bed you see.


If we go to the right at the start, we enter the pillar room. We cannot currently go any further. Note the pillar leaves a shadow.


An "impossible" view of the pillar's shadow. I had to cheat to see this.


Going back to the start and down the forward path, we see this. I wonder what the diving board and this pillar are for? ;p


Back to the pillar room! Note the shadow is gone. Also note that the 3D bridge leaves a shadow.


After crossing the bridge in the pillar room and going down the river bed some more, we see this crossing.


Over the crossing we see this interesting scene with nice shadows. :)


A view of another bridge.


Uh oh, looks like this bridge is out.


Another view of the broken bridge and canyon.


More light and shadows.


The end of the level. I wonder where that hallway leads? The player cannot enter it as it is beyond the boundary limit.

That's it. Hope you like what I have so far.

Sorry if the shots are a little dark, I have GZDoom set to low brightness.
