    Well - There was talk of mapping Eyre Square as a massive map, but no one liked the idea (Not even as a piece of artwork) so here's a few Galway Related Suggestions.

    Eyre Square Shopping Centre:
    Lots of routes, two story (With the ability to snipe up or down at enemies), lots of enterable buildings etc - Could be fun.

    Shop Street:
    Why not? It's just a street, and there's plenty of places to go so it could be great fun owning rampant terrorists in SuperMac's with a HE Grenade.

    College:
    Explored the College the night before, and by god it'd make a great map!

    GTI:
    Might make this map myself after I complete de_muse (When I get the PC back)
    Plenty of floors, plenty of rooms, plenty of killing.

    Any other suggestions!?
    Remember, Im not saying to "MAP" these locations - Im saying that their layouts could be used for good maps. GTI and the College have great layouts.

    Now that you mention it... THe Eyre Square Shopping Centre sounds amazingly do-able...

    The hardest part of making a good map is the layout.. (and with this already made) It's now just up to the mapper to make it happen, make it pleaseing on the eyes, and incorporate some fast action.

    It'd most obviously be a de_map because tbh, i think the CS_ maps are on the way out.. (not out of cs, but out of use on internet servers)

    Might start on that today or tomoorrow :)

    Well imo i think Roches would be pretty decent and would work on the hl engine because there are alot of small enclosed areas especially the car park area. The bit by the stairs however could be laggy. Maybe if some1 stuck a corner in or put all the shutters done it might fix it. Eyre Sqaure shopping centre is a good idea but it would be a huge map. 16 v 16 imo. Maybe a few mappers could do it instead of just one.

    Do Eyre Square and get all the shop signs right and everything. That'd be cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE


    A digicam would be necessary for that Thrax.. And i don't want to look like a foo taking digi pics of women's clothes shops loike.

    If you make the textures, i'll give it a crack :)

    Well it doesn't have to be exact (In regards to textures).
    It'd be nice if the map had been plotted out and created so that if said textures DO happen to become avaliable, you could simply do a retexture as opposed to waiting for them before mapping at all.

    Hop to it DrAkE, damnit. It'd be an immediate success :mad: :D

    I started it yesterday. I am starting at the area of the main entrance, where there is a ramp down and to sets of steps up either side.

    GOnna do the downstairs first. Can't wait to play with the huge lookout area over the sails cafe and around Penny's there..

    1337 :)

    Should be class!
    Im working tommorow so I'll get a good look at the place wether I like to or not, so I this map will recieve Iron Fisted Criticism when it's done :p

    Oh, and while you're in the Editing mood, why not give yourself a new damn signiature! If you were truly 1337, you wouldn't have "For violation of the boards.ie image signature regulations, the image(s) in this signature have been removed by Cloud.
    " in it LOL!

    If you run out of idea's just copy / paste what I said and use that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE


    Heh.. I need to get a new version of MilkShape before I can truly make the sig i have in mind :)

    This map...err proving to be harder (r_speeds wise) to make playble than i thought.. crie..

    I'll work on it tho


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,628 ✭✭✭Asok

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE
