Allright...this is what i did today. Its a castle but the problem is as i have yet to put in the sky box you cannot see the outside

Here are some shots i took from inside the castle underground in the tunnels.....

DRakE

Needs more.... castle.

What do you expect us to say based on those screenshots? I mean, they dont show off much of the map. all i see is a chair and three crates.. nothing can be said about any of them really.. outdorr shots please..
Sky boxes arent that hard to put in a map loike

Winters

The chair shot is more art then anything else....tis pure beauty! .. ill throw in a skybox and load up some more pics for ya then...

Just for you Drake

Winters

Well.... just for you Drake are some images of outside...

incubus

RopeDrink

Keep it up Winters.
DrAkE even if it is only three crates it has a sort of atmosphere to it, what with the lighting and all - And that chair is nice.

As for the outside, it'll need a bit of smacking around, but Im sure the map is only in its early stages, so good luck with it!

Outside is beginning to take some shape. The map is a night map and looks really well with the lighting ive used. The lighting really creats a cool atmosphere and it will be interesting to play on. I have added a secret underground tunnel into the castle too...


The castle will have a hugh underground network of tunnels which should be fun to run around in.

Remember .. this is only version1 of the map. Ill continue working on it and making it better...

Question: How do i make rotating doors? I can make the sliding ones grand but the rotating door thing doesnt work for me. They just disappear for 4 seconds then come back.... i dont have a clue where they go off to

Make sure you have included a "Origin" texture in your wad.

1) Create your door.
2) Create a very thin rectangle that goes up the side of the door from the ground to the top of it (Make sure its touching the door, and preferable not as wide as the door width) and texture it with the origin texture. Make sure the the origin rectangle is where you want the "Hinge" to be, and it's probably better to have it inside a wall, because the texture itself is invisible.
3) Select both objects and group them together
4) highlight the grouped object and give it the Rotating Door Entity
5) The rest is up to you to experiment with, you can change how far and fast it opens when activated, the sound it makes etc etc - I'll leave that up to you - The Properties are rather easy to figure out.

I'd explain far better if I had time, but I have to fly.
Toodles!

good on ya ropey, bit more positive than drakes response, show potential, keep oup ze vork vinters

i think the chair's the best bit!!!!!!!!!!!
face it, more and more maps nowadays are lacking basic seating facilities. this is a problem we must tackle head on and i for one would like to congradulate Winters on his brave contribution.

I think for inside the castle you should use a different texture for the floor just to make it seem less bland and a few pointed towers wouldn't go a miss. BTW which ww2 battle was fought in a castle? :0. Also for your chair scale the texture down to .50 instead of 1.00 because the texture looks a bit big. GJ so far, nice use of lighting.

Winters

Well......i started it again... .. This time though I do have a layout so it will be better. The Chair will be in the New version!

I m getting used to the lighiting stuff... it can really give a good effect

Well heck, Im a positive person :rolleyes:

Winters

Tintin, Tintin? Who is this Tintin?

I started the map again using a new layout ... because the layout i had was well, just being madeup as i went along. I made a scetch of the map on some paper (dart ticket) and am working on that. It will be BIGGER and more fun ... with lots of fun lighting
